Shortly after purchasing a DVD purporting to give a special insider tips for selling on ebay I received a phone call from PMG. I was asked many personal questions about my work background, financial situation, credit history etc. They made it feel and sound very much like a job interview.
They told me very few people were selected to come on board their program. They elaborated in great detail how financially successful their expert tutorage program is likely to make their students. They associated their tutor program with some big-named, highly successful people such as Robert Allen and Shawn Casey.
I was very skeptical at first. The initial contactor gave me a website to allegedly check them out with the BBB. The website said they had the average amount of complaints of a business of this type that had been resolved. Very peculiarly, since that time I have gone into BBB's website and it has a different appearance than I remembered and does not contain the same message as it did from the website I was given when first contacted by PMG. Rather, it warns that BBB has been receiving reports that PMG claims to be a member of BBB which BBB says is false.
After being told the cost, I asked what I was to receive in return. I was given a description that sounded very impressive. Along with the tutorage, I was told I would receive a package of highly innovative products to assist me in marketing and promotion including sellable product.
I was still skeptical. They assured me that if in the unlikely event I was not sucessful in earning enough to pay off my credit card debt, they would continue to work with me at their expense beyond the initial training period. I was also told that this offer was available only right then as many more potential prospects were available to fill the slot. I foolishly agreed and paid the $7660 on my Visa card.
I received some over-rated software, no sellable product, just a membership to a wholesale co. That sells common oversold items. I supposedly also got something to promote my website on the net but have been unable to come up with marketable product to date.
I have been in the program for nearly two months now and have not made a dime. I have worked very hard—hundreds of hours trying to follow their so-called expert instructions. I have come to realize that they are not what they claimed. The info they provide is very common and can be accessed from many free resources and usually consists of common sense.
Most of their "expert advice" is not all it's cracked up to be, such as obtaining dropshippers as the magic bullet to starting a business. It turns out dropshippers are rare and charge extra for the service.
In my opinon Professional Marketing Group mentors are rank amateurs that haven't provided anything of monetary value. Unfortunately, I knew of no way to determine the quality of this program without actually experiencing it and then it was too late.
The things I have learned in this program have been a result of trial and error, and I couldn't be more dissatisfied with what I have received. After I requested a refund, they informed me that they only give refunds under dire circumstances.
I believe it's time to take action against this company for their unscrupulous manner of doing business.
