On 04-12-06 I was solicited and made to listen to a phone recording explaining the big boom with phamacheutical companies selling on-line. I was reluctant, but Chandra Tait (My Contact) told me "after you sell to 1,000 customers, simply fill out a company testimonial and she'll cut the top web hosting package with thousands of drugs (*$900) down to what I was charged in the end by WEBSITE BUILDERS 1 for $435.00.
I sent this e-mail (still have the original) the same day after doing research:
Subject: Account cancellation request (Ryan Valencia)

Unfortunately with the recent internet research I have done, and after speaking with my parents about your company, I have decided I want no part of this company. This is one day after I have spoken to a NPN
representative (Chandra Tait) and would like to not be billed the $435.00 and not recieve any further contact information from your company. So please cancel my active subscription, and do not change my credit card,
thanks.
Sorry, I couldn't be a better consumer.
The next two days I was contacted by Chris DeVere explaing I had committed to a 12 month contract which couldn't be broken, I have to show "minimal efforts to promote my website", even though they received the e-mail before I was even charged, they took my money anyway.
So, stuck in this predicament I decided to make the most of it, posting flyers, buying web traffic, submitting to search engines (I didn't like there push to get me to spend $5,000 on their own basic campaign) so I decided to go ahead and purchase the domain: www.pharmacybrand.com specifically to promote the site.
They did provide a site, www.personalinternetpharmacy.com/7431/
which was operatible with a backroom setup showing web hits and unique hits, but notice that the sales portion (in the pharmacy office) never seemed to gain any sales, even after 1500 people (hits) had been to my site, and a few relatives of mine personally purchased some paxil 30 mg 30 pcs to see if it was legit. I have yet to see any commissions, or proof that I'm doing anything at all, or that their products are received, there's even a clause on the FAQ Q: What is your Return Policy?
A: We and the pharmacy take the utmost care to ensure that the medications you receive are correct in every way. For your protection and the protection of others, the Saskatchewan Pharmaceutical Association's bylaws prohibit the return of medications.
"No pharmacist shall accept for return to stock or re-use any drug or preparation thereof previously dispensed, nor assume responsibility for any drug or preparation thereof which has been removed from his direct supervision for any period of time." (Pharmaceutical Association - Bylaw 14.9 July)
What strikes me as peculiar is how I receive out of the blue, non professional calls from these people, trying to be nice, "it's like my grandfather used to say in order to plow a field and reap a good harvest, you got to put in a lot of time and effort" trying to get me to promote there shoddy products (doing their dirty work).
Well, I'm tired of being lied to, scammed, cheated, and don't care about the $435.00 (not being reimbursed by them on their terms) so I'm hoping we can file a class action suit to bring these phonies to justice. There is enough non-reputable on-line businesses as there is, these people need serious jail time; praying on our hopes to build a good honest living.
I guess there is another one born every minute and this time it was me, I should have just hanged up.
