I signed up with Cashflow-Direct to start an internet home business for a start-up fee of $495.00 plus a hosting fee of $11.95 per month. This was to cover the cost of setting up three websites: Ebay, Amazon, and Tiger Casino. I told the account executives, Lionel and Tracy, that I was new to the internet and had no experience. They assured me that they would be my personal coaches and would be available whenever I needed help.
After several phone calls trying, without success, to reach either Lionel or Tracy to see what progress was being made, the telephone receptionist told me that I was given incorrect information and there would be no free advertising. I was then referred to an advertising coach, Andy Hernandez, who stated that in order for any income to be forthcoming, I should purchase six months of advertising for 1,000 hits on the Ebay website at a cost of $298.00. He stated that he would handle everything and I should realize approximately $800.00 return on my money.
It was three weeks (and several phone calls) later before any hits showed up. Then, over a period of ten days, 1,060 hits were posted. However, no income was generated.
When I called Cashflow-Direct to complain, the telephone receptionist, Danielle, stated there must be some mistake, that the advertising was for six months and there was no way it could be used up in ten days.
Danielle then put me on hold for several minutes - and when she returned offered me a new deal! The company was starting a new promotion and I could work on commission selling their programs! Plus they would charge me no further hosting fees. She was informed in no uncertain terms that I was not interested in view of this experience.
