Re: registration form
To whom it may concern:
I am currently in receipt of your information pertaining to the claims not only reflected in the newspaper advertisements but that of your application, "You Could Start Earning $800.00... $1,6000... $3,200.00 Every Week Guaranteed!"
The fact of the matter is that this "guarantee" is entirely false. Namely, having received a similar brochure from another company with a similar name, your firm is entirely unable to "guarantee" that people will simply mail in $5.00 to obtain information about weigh loss products of whatever you have to offer.
However, making such a "guarantee" places you in a rather awkward predicament if someone wanted to hold you to that "guarantee." Namely, if after two to three months an individual still had was not making $800.00 or more per week, you would have to supplement their income. Are you prepared to do this? Would you even?
Regardless, as noted on the site located at usacomplaints.com, your literature is entirely misleading. Everyone queried about the contents of your information, including attorneys at law, law enforcement agencies and the likes thereof, agrees that the way in which the information is worded, the recipient's belief is that they will "secure" the envelopes from your firm, and simply mail them off. But the reality is that they are actually securing envelopes from advertisements they are placing asking people to send them from $2.00 to $5.00 to just obtain information from your firm.
Further more, you are not supplying anything to the individual who pays you the fee.instead, the envelopes are being supplied by the individual who responds to the advertisement and mails in the $5.00 fee along with a self addressed stamped envelope. So this is yet another false statement.
Finally, you are not really paying the individual who obtains your program anything; well, not unless someone buys the products you send them in exchange for the $5.00 fee paid in advance. The problem we all have in reading your information as well as that of others relying on the same scam, is that if someone does order products from you, how is the "middleman" ever going to know since at that juncture all the orders would be placed directly with you.
There is no "check and balance system" in place that insures the "middleman" will be advised of all orders that are placed through your firm. Since you won't clearly state the nature of the program you are promoting, how can someone trust you are going to be honest in dealing with them?
Therefore, it would be extremely advisable that you amend your brochure to state more accurately, "If you can secure envelopes by placing advertisements in local newspapers and penny savers around the country..." Further, what the individual will be advertising for. Given that I work both in the judicial and medical fields, it would be a conflict of interest to sell vitamins to people when they are not FDA approved.
Since I have seen the damage vitamins have done to people who do not consult with a physician before starting such a regime, I will not take the risk of promoting them. But now will I get my $45.00 back? Probably not. And all because the brochures were not up front about the work that I would be actually engaged in doing.
Lastly, I would find it extremely difficult, as would anyone, to work for a firm that will not disclose the place it has filed its business license, and a firm that operates out of a call box in some store. How reputable can a company like that be especially when they go out of their way to disguise the address in their mailings? Why don't you put "Box #166?"
Respectfully yours,
A
