Ripoff ripoff business from hell cheated employees and screwed the customers even more ripoff business from hell

Internet & Web

This company is promising huge future profits on a very flawed business plan. They think their internet based pay phone will compete with Qwest Communications so much that they started out even using their name! Qwest got a restraining order against them in a heartbeat!

Their Business plan is to provide these internet based kiosks in malls, hotels and airports for visitors to use with a credit card to access the internet to read, write and even check their emails and search the internet at. 25 cents a minute with an 8 minute minimun charge. While doing so you can also make a free long distance call to anyone in the world... Supposedly! These displays supposedly cost $25,000 a piece to make and the site owner will only recieve 10 cents a minute used for rental reimbursements.

They are charging $1,375 for a full membership in the program and at the time of writting would only accept cashier checks or money orders for payment. Out of those fees then $375 would be given to the person who brought you into the company and also his sponsor for recruiting you! That is a classic description of a ponzi scheme and their are numerous federal and state agencies looking into this company right now! Among them are the FBI, Florida Attorney General and Better Business Bureau and also the Federal Justice Department and Trade Commissions! The company founder's also have a past history of screwing their members in other internet ventures!

Their is a quasi branch of the company called PAP.com who promised to provide you 25 sign-ups for $1,000 or 250 for $10,000 and then they will do everything possible to get them to upgrade to a paid membership! Your not to attempt to contact them since they are the professionals! In a recent email from the company they stated that PAP doesn' have a position in the company downline and only are hired on a commission basis to convert FREE members into paying ones. However in looking at their database they show many positions held by the PAP and their founder!

Right now their is no product for them to market either since they do not have any of the koisks in the public domain except for a Howard Johnson's in Florida. When you upgrade your provided 8,000 minutes each month that the company will attempt to sell for you and also another 6,000 minutes for FREE since you upgraded. If the minutes do not sell then your back to relying on the ponzi payments.

I have called the Mall of America and also the International Airport in Minnesota and they have had no inquiries for providing space to this company and the Mall gets at least $10,000 a month for providing space and are open only enough hours each month to generate about $2,500 each month in rental commissions if the machine was used every minute of the month. Something tells me that the #1 tourist destination in the US will not be having any of their koisks!
