Question
Hi I recently learned that IPAC is a scam. People are telling me that the price they are asking for is ridiculous. I already paid half of it. I was wondering is there a way to get my money back?? Or no since the contract state no refunds?

Answer
It's unlikely that you'll get your money back unless you only just paid it.
Talk to your local consumers branch of government, or the BBB, or go online and Google IPAC scam to see what other people have done.
Best of luck -- be grateful you didn't pay the other kalf.

This is the place for Canadian answers! My company runs "The Advisors", a Toronto-based career-power network for performers, producers and entertainment artists of all sorts. I am a performer, and I have not had a joe-job in the last thirty-odd years, so I must be doing something right. I can talk about career moves, self-promotion, self-production, and the business sense that turns your art into a living.
