Greetings,

This is my first post and it was a few years back that I was "taken" by these so called "businesses".

- "PMG (Professional Marketing Group)" was a crock... I have saved every webpage they sent me to (which was part of their training website and looked more like a cut and paste job from other better online marketing reps and was very incomplete in many areas) and I still have them saved (this is for like 4 timeframe). I paid a tuition that was my available credit on one of my credit cards ($4000) and was given a OPM (Other Peoples Money) "overview" as well.

The tools and mentoring and software I received was rehashed stuff available for free elsewhere... And such that it would require a team of about 5 more people to make any business fly with it (ie: all debugging and ongoing support to make it work) which wasn't really explained, and I knew more than the mentor they had call me each week. I still have everything saved.

- "The Free Ad Guru" was running at the time out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada and never Reimbursed my purchase when I wanted it upon realizing the load of crud sold to me (wonderful concept but nice try), and they gave me the run around over the phone and via email many times. I have it all saved as well. $97.

Both companies were very hard to communicate with and seemed to hind behind other company names behind the scenes.

I will post more later, but for now just know that I still am in a financially unstable position and at the time had no real way to change my situation and fight back — my efforts were in helping myself in other ways. What a horrible feeling. I often felt embarrassed and didn't really know what to do about it, and it kinda just slipped away as time went by. I wish I had my time back! Credit Card debt is THE WORST!!!

I'm glad to have found this site as back then not much in the way of complaints were out there.

Thanks, and keep up the fight.

PS. I'm a Canadian and would like to know how to file these complaints, and perhaps help in the cause.
