Lindsey Brooks, AKA "Lindsey on the Horse," "Lindsey on a Horse" and "Lindsey Bean" was operating a products marketing company called Boardwalk Brand, which she has now changed to “Iconology” - iconology.io. Lindsey Brooks has since taken down the Boardwalk Brands website that she used to sell me and other inventors on her "World-Class" online Marketing and Pitch creating services. See Boardwalk Brand Inc company info here - https://www.zoominfo.com/c/boardwalk-brand-inc/356946320
Part of Linsey Brooks scam, yes, it is my opinion she is a professional con-artist after all I have learned and a pathological liar. Lindsey Brooks constantly makes grandiose claims of selling $4 billion of Vince Offer's products including Sham-Wow, Schticky and Slap Chop. Lindsey Brooks tells inventors that, much like how she created the pitch and marketing materials for Vince Offer's products, she can do the same for us. Her boyfriend, Peter Mendham, who works for her, backs up the bogus claims and lies.
Please allow me to cut directly to the chase. After paying Lindsey Brooks $13k for a marketing package, learning, and a structured and delineated time-line with milestones and massive promises for success, we started to work together. This was during the pandemic, so most interaction was via phone, emails, and zoom calls. Lindsey would have an occasional Facebook Live broadcast for any and all who wanted to hear her go on and on for hours with mostly fluff.
After a year and a half of excuses, delays, cancelations and just completely falling off the face of the Earth, I began to question the legitimacy of Lindsey Brooks and her marketing services. As I started to talking to other inventors about my dissatisfaction, I quickly realized no one was happy. In the meantime I had finished reading, "Expert Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Creating a Mass Movement of People Who Will Pay for Your Advice" by Russell Brunson and realized that Lindsey Brooks had taken what is taught in it, and was claiming to the originator of the material. I also had the chance to speak with Forbes Riley, who I had been made aware was the original “Pitch Creation” guru and that Lindsey Brooks had worked for her and then carbon copied her, again Lindsey Brooks claiming that she was the originator of Forbes Riley’s pitch creation concept.
In total, I contacted about fifteen people. Most of them were inventors. Everyone said the same things, that Lindsey Brooks and her boyfriend Peter Mendham are con-artists, “carnies,” liars, thieves and out to bilk inventors out of their hard-earned money. I believe there is a special place in hell for those who take advantage of inventors.
Although I no longer believed anything Lindsey had ever said, the last person I wanted to contact was Vince Offer to find out if Lindsey ever did marketing for him as she had claimed. Please see proof of these claims Lindsey still makes to this day about marketing his products on her “Clubhouse.com” profile https://www.clubhouse.com/@lindseybrooks and as reported in this article by Authority Presswire - https://authoritypresswire.com/boardwalk-brand-holdings-corp-founder-lindsey-brooks-associates-will-share-their-vast-expansive-knowledge-in-direct-response-facebook-consumer-product-sales-at-the-las-vegas-hardware/
Vince Offer responded to me that Lindsey Brooks had never done any marketing for him, ever, and that he did not know her when he did the ShamWow product. Lindsey Brooks also made claims to me and other inventors that she had been romantically involved with Vince Offer. Vince said, “No, way!” and went on to say that everyone though that Lindsey had mental issues as she was trying to pass off a head massager at fairs as her own invention. Although I knew Lindsey Brooks had no idea what she was doing with online marketing, I was blown away that she could come up with a lie so grandiose and broadcast it to the world. Peter Mendham is as culpable as Lindsey Brooks as he repeats the lie over and over with her.
As you will see in the email exchanges below, I demanded my money be returned to me. Lindsey Brooks responded with Peter Mendham’s email, which was bizarre, but this is how she works. She is very conniving, and said she would not return a penny. Fortunately, my credit card company reviewed the mountain of evidence I had, and did the chargeback of $10k of the $13k, because the initial $3k was outside of the year. You will also see my most recent demand email to Lindsey Brooks, requesting the return of the remaining $3k. She has not respond within the 30 days. I will update how the lawsuit turns out. I honestly think Lindsey Brooks is broke and even if I was awarded a settlement, she would not be able to respond.
I hope this helps anyone considering to hire Lindsey Brooks who claims to be a marketing expert. Beware, she goes on Clubhouse.com under the name "Lindsey on the horse" (which I know she will change the minute she reads this report) and continues to make these false claims, trying to get unaware inventors and entrepreneurs to hire her. Take my advice, and run!

Title: Instapreneur - Five O'clock Shadow
Date: Nov 30, 2021
Hi Lindsey,
Thank you again for your time in trying to help me figure out my Facebook Ad restriction last week.
I don't think it's going to surprise you too much when I say that I am not happy with the way things have progressed with you and Instapreneur over the past 6 months. We started out good June last year, but in the past 6 months it seems like I am not a priority. This started to become apparent with 90% of our scheduled calls being cancelled. The writing was clearly on the wall when I drove 3 hrs down to San Diego last month to film the demo and got pulled into helping you move instead. Then you fell asleep during the demo taping and couldn't be woken up. It is my belief that the video I paid for will never be completed.
Another example is that we have never finished the $3k Facebook Ads training, which ironically if we had, I most likely wouldn't have had my FB Ads account restricted. We are in the biggest month of the year for sales and I cannot use this tool because of the restriction. The only reason I signed up with you and Instapreneur was to learn how to become effective at marketing on FB. Before we even started the course I was told I had to buy InstaHit for another $3500 or I would be foolishly wasting money on FB Ads. At my best guess we finished only 60-70% of the FB training June 2020. I have asked more than two dozen times when we are going to finish the training. Each time you have just said, "Oh, yeah, we need to finish that." The last time I asked, there was no response.
I am seeing how foolish it was on my part to then pay another $6500 for retail packaging October 2020 with nothing having been delivered in full from the previous $6500 paid in June 2020. Big promises were made by you of going into mass retail. Over a year later nothing has been done.
I think you also need to know that the derogatory comments you recently made about Mormons was too much. While I have not been a practicing Mormon for the past 25 years, my immediate family and close friends are. I found the comments offensive. I love joking around with you, but this took it too far. Just a side note that words can hurt.
In looking at the $13,000 I paid you last year, I have not received what I signed up for. I have left a wide margin on time because of Covid and Peter's health issues, but am realizing nothing is getting done. A big part of the problem is that because of the way the FB Ads restriction was handled, I don't trust you to move forward. You have recently suggested that I pay another $3500 for live retail testing. I do not plan on paying you any more money.
I would like to see what you think the best way out of this is so as to leave us on amicable terms. I have spoken to my credit card company, but before doing charge backs, I wanted to give you a chance to do the right thing. I have appreciated you and Peter's friendship, but at the end of the day, I have to do what is right for my company and in getting my products out to the masses. I didn't sign up and pay for friends, but for services that have not been delivered. I feel like I am being held back by you at this point and have to keep moving forward.
I am open to a phone or video discussion, but from past conversations, know that being heard is a challenge with you. I feel email works better at this point.
