So I made it in Golf Digest! It’s not the way I originally wanted to be, but at least my story will ensure that people like Scott will never work in the industry again. The last 9-months have been hell for me. I’ve put everything into IPRx because I want to create opportunities for people to better themselves. What I got was sleepless nights, dreams crushed, overwhelming anxiety and depression, and tens of thousands of dollars lost because of Scott Power. After I realized I had been scammed I uncovered hundreds of thousands of dollars lost and many peoples lives ultimately turned upside down across the country because of this monster.
Some people will take everything away from you. I almost lost my business and my sanity this last year. Two years post Covid and we took another major hit. Financially, I lost well over $30k on the low end because of Scott. Money and equipment he literally stole from me. To have not just the money taken, but the dream taken away, the “what could’ve been” remorse, the time invested I’ll never get back, and the feeling of being responsible for this killed me inside. I would never hurt my clients or my friends. I’m not that type of person. Kyle Sprague and myself were shook. We had been scammed the same way so many others had and that feeling is sickening, but what broke my heart was feeling responsible for it all because I hired scott. Today, some of that weight has been lifted.
Scott is narcissistic sociopath. His whole history is a lie, even the resume he gave us was a lie. The crazy part is that he was a great golf coach when he wanted to be. He might have been one of the best I’ve ever seen. That’s why it was so hard to see that we were being played. He was a master of his craft of scamming people as he had done it numerous times before. He had it perfected by the time he got to us. An article can only tell so much, and trust me there is so much more that isn’t even included in this. I’ve spent hours on the phone with other victims of Scott’s scams. The stories I could tell could be a whole book. Maybe I should write that story. Maybe God put me through this because he knew I was strong enough to handle it and because the devil inside of Scott needed to be exposed to the world. If Scott had just hurt me, it’s one thing, but when he hurt my family, my clients, my friends, he brought unto himself a war he will not win. God knew I would take charge and fight this battle because nobody else did in the past. Game over scott. You may have beaten me in fighting a cheap battle like a coward on my turf, but I have won the war.
I’ve kept so much of this bottled up inside for 9 months. Reading this today has given me a release and a step to feeling like I have my life back. The silver lining is that Scott was arrested yesterday and this article just happen to come out today. God’s timing is impeccable! Please like this and share it with everyone so that in the event this piece of 💩 ever gets out, he will never work within the industry and around kids again. Up until yesterday, he was still scamming people of Facebook marketplace. I know this because I’m the one who runs the “Scott Power Support Group” and found the Nolan Hughes and Jason Shelnutt who are featured in the article as well. We all know none of us will ever get our money back, but our piece of mind comes from knowing Scott will never be able to do this again!
Thank you so much Golf Digest for writing this story for the world to see! Joel, you are the man!
The true story of Scott Power, a golf professional with a history of lies, fraud, threats and tales of murder.
