Patrick Barbour – President of SearchNow, Founder of RecStack.ai, and Founder of Millionaire Recruiter Club

Date of Incident: March 15, 2023

Summary:

Patrick Barbour attended a class offered by redacted, during which he had access to proprietary content and strategies. Following the class, he started a new business, openly replicating and sharing the exact materials he was taught, falsely claiming they were the basis of his success as a “million-dollar producer” for the past eight years.

Despite admitting to the theft, Barbour refused to remove the content for months. Redacted pursued legal action, filing a federal lawsuit for intellectual property theft. The court granted summary judgment in their favor, with damages still pending.

Red Flags:

• Unrealistically large claims about his success.

• Public admission of content theft.

• Consistent bad reviews.

Impact on the Submitter:

Redacted reported millions in financial loss due to this incident, as the theft undermined the value of their proprietary content.

Evidence:

The submitter has verified evidence, including court records supporting the claims.

Community Reminder:

This submission highlights the importance of protecting intellectual property and conducting thorough due diligence before working with individuals or businesses. Be cautious of exaggerated claims and seek reviews from trusted sources before engaging in partnerships.
