I am web designer and I used to have an affiliate website, where I was selling about $1000 cards. I was getting 10% commission. It's not bad because I was not advertising the website, put the links on my own sites.
I thought that if I sell my own crads online, I might make more money. So I did some research online and came accross virtual-switch.com. They asked $10000 deposit which will be returned once I cancel the contract. And also offered free website with it.
So I was not losing anything, still I went to see attorny and accountant, They advised me to stay away from Phone cards company, because they make it sound so simple but in reality once they have your money, it's very hard to get it back.
I read the contract few times, took out the unfavorable things (fine prints). Signed it and sent it with deposit to Lenn Brown, ceo, from virtual-switch.com.
I worked very hard on my website, spend lot of money on google, yahoo and other online advertising. But the site did not kick off. After a year I gave up. Now I sent letter to Lenn Brown by certified mail that I wish to cancle my contract and giving you a months notice.
I did not hear from him, it's been three months since I cancled the contract. I was searching on net to see anything about Lenn Brown, virtual-switch.com or gpa.com and I came accross a disscussion board.
"Lenn Brown and his companies are nothing but scam. They take money and never return it all and sends you checks that bounce.
PLEASE let me know who wants to go after this guy. I will gladly do so with two other companies to force him into bankrupcty.
I called the person and he said Lenn Brown was in jail for doing this scam. He sued Lenn Brown and won the case but could not get his money back.
