The first phone call from Independent Financial Corporation came out of the blue one evening approximately 7 PM GMT and was opened by a Mr Tom Coope. He said I had entered my details into a web site which I defiantly did not do. We talked for approximately 10-15 minuets about starting my own business after which Mr Coope asked if I would talk to his director. I said yes. Mr Brandin Judd came on the line telling me he was a director, Mr Judd chatted telling me about how we were going to get an eBay business up and running very quickly and this would set me free from work. His training program was so great and in no time I would have a viable eBay business making very good money. We could then switch our attention to marketing on the internet and that is when the big money would start to come he did say 10,000 per month right.
I did say to Mr Judd NO, he was having non of this referring me to a web site on my PC. This web site suggested that his company was not a scam. He passed me though to his secretary I believe her name was Megan and again I said NO. I did say to Megan do not charge my credit card to which she said that would be illegal. So far I have said No twice.
Mr Judd came back on the phone about 1 hour latter. He would not leave me alone. Going on for about a further 10 minuets or so. I was finally pushed into this by his assurances of a fantastic training package and would be earning lots of money very quickly with their help. Substantial money.
I signed up and was told I have three days to change my mind. Why would I want to this is a fantastic company and together with their help I am going to make a lots and lots of money and set me free from going to work. My first coaching call was set at 19.30 GMT the wednesday which was just 3 days from when I signed up very cleaver. This call was supposed to start setting me up for great things to come 11 minuets in total. The man gave me a brief tour of a web site and said good bye and me to ring in every three days. What happened to all the training I had just paid for and told I was going to get?
I started emailing Mr Judd and Mr Coope two days after the first training call. I did get a response from Mr Coope for the first email I sent about the length of the first phone. This replay came after about one week. Now it was sinking in I had been scammed.
I did not enter my details into any web site or give these people any permission to contact me. I have since sent Mr Judd and Mr Coope emails telling them I wanted my money back none were returned as undeliverable but so far no response from either of them. Mr Coope gave me Mr Judds phone number which Mr Judd stated is incorrect giving me a second one. I did phone this number to be directed to someone else's voicemail.
Both Mr Coope and Mr Judd told lie after lie. Mr Judds claim to be the director is false. Wouldn't a director have a Independent Financial Corporation email address? The coaching did come but not at 19.30 as stated but about 20.30. I everything I had been told was turning out to be totally untrue.
The fist email to Mr Judd and Mr Coope was sent two days after the first training phone call had taken place. It was impossible to post a letter I to wait three days for my first training phone call.
After bulling me for 45-50 minuets in two separate phone calls and twice saying NO. Mr Judd would not take NO for an answer.
The only so called coaching call I received was the one 3 days latter on the wednesday following the monday I signed up. Even if I had posted on the next day day it would have been out side the time limit this is a very unfair clause. Why not give 14 days? Why not allow people to cancel by email?
I did try to make this work you can see by the support chats I conducted on their web site. I received no further support from this company apart from some phone calls one at 03.00 in the morning when I was in bed. I had a gentleman phone one evening and told him I had sent several emails canceling this whole affair and requesting my money back.
Please may I have address for Visa and Master card as this company should have no right to pray on innocent people I would like to complain to them about to shocking behavior of this company.
After telling this company on the 08 December I wanted a full refund, my credit card is still being charged by them $39.99 in February.
