Adam Stott brags about being a member of the Forbes Coaches Council and contacted them to report Adam Stott's unethical and dishonest practice as well as I am contacting some other media too. I sent Adam Stott a final letter requesting a full refund or taking him to court and I received a full refund. Big Business Events and Adam Stott will continue their dishonest practice. I hope this review is helpful to others who found themselves in a similar situation. Please feel free to contact me for further help.
In January 2022, I was tricked into one of Adam Stott's social media ads to join a free zoom webinar called social media and business Growth Summit. The zoom webinar is three parts. The first start with Adam Stott's presentation and the second is with Ross Temple and the third is with Nick.
On the zoom webinar, Adam Stott speaks offers training on how to grow an existing business or start a business by promoting other people's products(affiliate marketing)
Adam Stott uses aggressive, scare sales tactics; Adam Stott shows testimonials of people who turned into millionaires by using his techniques within a short period as a result of his training. Also, during the webinar, Adam Stott brags about making £50,*******
In the webinar, Adam Stott sold, his program for £597. You pay this money then you will get access to Adam Stott's wonderland the social media secrets and get you immediate access to his online social media monetization system. This system would unlock your potential in Adam Stott's magical world.
I was convinced by Adam Stott's sale aggression as well as his 100%money back guarantee. As I don't have an existing business, I decided to enroll to promote other people's products (affiliate marketing)
I had some concern over the money-back guarantee and if this stuff is real and works, so I emailed the Adam Stott team asking; Are there hidden terms and conditions for a money-back guarantee? The answer was (NO) you do have to attend every training session and if you are still not making progress then you get a refund. This is the reply I had from them.
Sadly, there is so much misleading information about what big business events claim to offer, so, I paid £596.40 to access the social media monetization training. At the same time, participants get asked to pay another £297 to unlock access to the social media secrets? I consider this misleading too.
The second part of the zoom webinar was Ross Temple offering coaching programs with separate payments. During the webinar, we were asked to book a call if interested in Ross Temple training.
The program I enrolled in comes with a 3day live boot camp, during the zoom webinar they said it values £3997. You will be surprised to know the above 3day live boot camp on Adam's Stott website is £197. (Just one example of Adam's Stott misleading tactics).
Based on the above I thought that I am in the right place with the right people to start in 2022.
So, I bought the program hoping for a good start, and I had an access to Adam Stott's Social Media Monetisation System the system of magic. Two weeks after buying the program, I haven't been contacted by the team they don't even know if I existed... but they were too happy to get my money.
There isn't anything related to what I wanted to do. Not a single video. Nothing!
Going through Adam's Stott Monetisation System is a total jock! First of all, remember we have been sold what's it's called the secret to social media, however, within the program itself you get asked to pay £297 to unlock the secret of social media…
The program contains meaningless videos on how to buy likes, comments, and views for your social media posts. By the way, if interested just type social media manager on YouTube, and thousands of videos are there for you without the need to pay £597.40
The 3day live boot camp is where Adam Stott speaks openly on how to trick people into buying his other programs. In the 3days, I realized that the whole thing is a trick and a hock, Adam Stott is not interested in people who paid £597 he has nothing to offer to us unless we are willing to purchase and upgrade to the other programs, and with a higher payment.
In those 3days you realize that the testimonials he showed us in the zoom webinar while he was promoting his business and how he turned them millions are actually on the programs that they cost £20.000 or more.
I have concluded these people are big players in misleading people and tricking them in every step. From the start of their social media ads to the zoom free webinar and the three days.
Adam Stott, your program is based on deception and misleading people. The amount of dishonesty in your dealing is unbelievable.
Based on all that, I have contacted them asking for a full refund. Their reply was shocking.
Adam Stott, Big Business Events, I can assure you that I will not give up until I get my money back.
All that I asked for is to get my money back. And I will follow every option until I had my money back.
If you have been misled by big business events and Adam Stott and need help to make a complaint, feel free to get in touch.
The whole thing was set up intentionally to desperately deceive, mislead and manipulate people to buy his products, this unethical practice. I reported this practice to the Forbes Coaches Council and I will do so with other media channels.
I booked this course may 21 and have been unable to attend. Tried getting my money back, some if not all. They have point blank refused. Says its not in their cancellation policy which is not forthcoming!
Thank you for the review. Please allow us to respond. You purchased a ticket for one of our events on October 5th 2021, the event took place on October 20th 2021 and you did not attend. This was a special one-off event with a special guest. Just as would be the case if you bought tickets to any other type of event - music, theatre, exhibition, seminar etc, we do not offer a refund if you do not attend. As a gesture of goodwill we have, on multiple occasions, offered you a seat at several of our other events but unfortunately, you have not attended any of those. Our terms and conditions can be seen on our website www.bigbusinessevents.co.uk. We wish you the very best with your business.
I recently attended one of their business events in London and I have to say I loved every minute of it.
Adam Stott, Ross and Ben were great speakers and I learned so much. They obviously know their stuff.
Personally I didn't feel pressure at all and never felt like I was obligated to invest in anything else.
I got a real sense that these guys want to help businesses and if you follow what they say, you will succeed.
Tip for consumers:
It is worth getting the Vip seat!

Social Media Training Day
Two months ago, I attended an event organized by Mr. Adam Stott, which marked my inaugural experience at a business-related gathering. I had paid for entrance with the expectation of gaining valuable insights. Unfortunately, I spent an entire day at the event, only to find that it primarily revolved around the promotion of products and services. During a break, I attempted to engage in a conversation with Mr. Stott, and it became evident that he displayed little interest or consideration for those who had not purchased his business course packages.
Subsequently, I spoke with several attendees, some of whom had invested in his courses, and sought their contact information for a follow-up in one to two months to gauge the actual impact of Adam's guidance before considering an investment of £1500. However, based on conversations I've had today with two individuals who had purchased his courses, I received negative feedback and was advised against making such a commitment.
Despite the promises made to help grow one's business, it seems that after parting with £1500, individuals are offered online lessons that, according to my sources, can be surpassed by freely available resources on platforms like YouTube. Furthermore, upon investing in Mr. Stott's program and interacting with his team, it appears that they suggest the need for additional assistance in various areas, such as communication and leadership, followed by attempts to sell more courses.
It is disheartening to witness that Mr. Stott, who evidently enjoys a comfortable financial status, is tarnishing his own reputation in exchange for a few thousand pounds. It is perplexing how people continue to put their trust in him, and some even spend as much as £10,000 on his purported solutions. I urge caution, as Mr. Stott's offerings do not yield miraculous results, nor do they absolve individuals of their own efforts.
I attempted to leave a review on Facebook but encountered difficulties in doing so, which leads me to believe that Mr. Stott has taken measures to prevent genuine feedback from being shared. Some individuals have reported him to the authorities for fraudulent activities. I had the opportunity to assist one person who had invested her savings into his courses and had three children to support. Fortunately, I was able to aid her in recovering the funds she had spent on his services.
In closing, I hope you will carefully consider your options and find a more suitable source of guidance and support for your business endeavors.
The expert of FACEBOOK, cannot have engagement on his Facebook page with more than 200.000 followers.
In one post, Mr.Adam got 2/3 likes and on videos after 4 days he just got 200 views, do you expect miracles?
We appreciate your review of our event, but it's clear there are several misunderstandings we need to correct.
First and foremost, our events offer training, insights into our product line, and valuable networking opportunities for business owners. Your portrayal of the event as a mere product pitch is incorrect.
Regarding product purchases, we have a diverse clientele who have reaped the benefits of our products and services. The figures mentioned do not reflect our current pricing model, so we don't know where you got them from.
We take note that you haven't purchased any of our products.
Those who purchased a product at the event you attended benefit from a full suite of support including a 3-day immersive event, regularly coaching sessions, online training and other resources. I don't think YouTube offers the same type of support to business owners.
We don't offer leadership or communication training so again, we are not sure why you have stated that.
Your claim that we have been reported to authorities is a serious one and we challenge you to substantiate it. We have not been notified of any such actions and believe such claims to be unfounded and potentially defamatory.
Whilst reviews are not enabled on one of our Facebook pages, members of the public can review us on all the major review platforms.
We invite you to reach out to us directly with any further concerns or for more detailed testimonials from our successful clients.
I recently attended a free training day in Cambridge hosted by Big Business Events. At first I thought as it was free that it would just be pitching but actually the whole day was full of good content and I filled several pages with notes. The team are really nice and helpful. Would recommend.

Free event
I met Adam just over 4 years ago at a free event on social media marketing. I then went on to do a 3 day course with him. I learned so much that I joined his gold circle programme. Adam has changed my life. My mindset is on fire now and I have gone from 1 office to 4, with growth plans to grow to 15 offices now. I am still getting coaching from Adam and will continue to for many years. I am now looking at retiring at 45 to 50 and I can't say thank you enough. Adam always had high profile guest speakers. The last event was Mr motivator who had such a good message about how he became who he was. I also received coaching because of Adam from a dragon from dragons den and several winners of the apprentice.
Tip for consumers:
This is life changing coaching. I was skeptical at 1st but this is the best decision I have ever made in my life and I continue to grow myself and my business. Gold circle is full of like minded business owners.

Good afternoon
Please allow us the courtesy to address some of the issues you raise in your review,
• You mention that Affiliate marketing was promoted in the webinar you attended on 8th January 2022 and that you were interested in our Social Media Monetisation System program because of this. To clarify, we do not – and have never - offered any affiliate marketing programs, so it sounds like there has been some sort of misunderstanding right from the beginning.
• Ongoing support – I understand you had several conversations with members of our support team who were able to answer all of the questions you had regarding the training and the live 3-day event. The Social Media Monetisation program is complete with 12 group coaching sessions which offer members the chance to ask questions, get advice, and receive guidance on how best to use the content in the program.
• The Social Media Monetisation system also includes Chat and Earn Scripts and 3 different landing pages that can be adapted to cater to your needs – full instructions on how to use them are included. The videos are designed for new and established business owners and share how to use a range of social media and digital marketing techniques to start conversations, generate leads, build a Facebook presence, increase brand awareness, and use Instagram marketing plus much more. The £297 additional payment is entirely optional and gives access to further training should our clients wish to learn more - it is not essential.
• Full refund – yes, we do offer a refund, but like many businesses across a wide range of industries, it is based on buyers working through the program in its entirety, attending the coaching sessions and the live event, and implementing what has been learned into the business, if the buyer is still unsatisfied with results after this, a refund is applicable. I noted that you have so far been through 52% of the online training and have attended the 3-day event.
• The 3-day event – we pride ourselves on hosting industry-leading business training that offers great value to our clients, we have done this since 2018. We have received hundreds of video and written testimonials over the past few years and our events are always highly rated by forward-thinking business owners. I am sorry to hear you did not have a good experience when you joined us on 19th-21st January in London. We do offer opportunities for further training at the end of the three days but it is entirely up to individuals if they wish to continue with our training or not.
• The results from previous and existing clients that we show in our webinars are based on fact, we would encourage anybody to reach out to the businesses mentioned if they would like confirmation from the business owners themselves. Whilst it is true that (in some cases) bigger results come from working with us over a longer period, many clients have been able to take what they have learned from our online training and turn it into profit.
• Full Terms and Conditions and Earnings Disclaimers are available publicly on our website and links are provided prior to purchasing any of our programs.
Given the serious nature of your allegations and the obvious distress that this has caused both parties and despite the fact that you have attended the live event and been through more than half of the online training, we have issued you a full refund.
We wish you every success with your business.
