I attended a Tradeworks seminar touted to teach the secrets and offer services to profit on E-Bay. That seminar set me up to pay $99.00 to attend the actual seminar where they hard sell you into falling for their full service package which cost $3000. The partial service package they offered was full of holes so I was led to believe it was necessary to buy the full package. Once I got home with my little information packet and software disc, I installed it on my computer, registered, etc. After perusing the overwhelming amount of technical information I realized that one would have to be a computer marketing genius to make sense of it all. Coincidentally, the next day I got a call from Tradeworks asking me a lot of questions, primarily about my financial status, to bait me into hoping that I would be eligible for their " invitation only mentoring program". The next day they called back and announced with great promise and enthusiasm that I was indeed eligible for the special mentoring program at a special price of $13,500. It was at this point that I finally started to realize that I was being scamed. When I said that there was no way I could pay that amount the Tradeworks guy said he would have to check with the powers that be if I was elegible for there scholarship program. Later, that same evening he called me back and gleefully announced that I was a scholarship candidate and they would mentor me for the 'special' price of $6000. At this point I said no-thanks and that I would try to do it on my own. Well, I just couldn't make any sense of the info that they had provided me with - I didn't even know where to begin. I started with a domaine name for my own personal business website which they charged me $75.00 for and provided me with links to a Tradeworks - endorsed dropshipping product company that I quickly discovered didn't exist anymore, if indeed it exsisted at all. I knew at this point that I had been collossally ripped off and there was no way that I could put any kind of business, which they offered, together without serious technical assistance. I was thinking about the many elderly and younger people who wrote out big checks at the same seminar I attended and how the were getting the royal scam treatment and left out in the cold. I requested, at that time, that they suspend my account and to not levy anymore monthly service charges to my account for the 'web service' and their so-called intellipay service. They ignored my request and continued to charge against my account and ceased all communication with me. Pacific WebWorks and Tradeworks and their affiliates are professional scam artists who are very good at their scams. My advice - don't even attend their preliminary seminar because they are so good and polished at their scam that you might write them out a check even though you have read the many complaints against them. If there is any kind of suit brought against these crooks count me in.
