While researching for wholesale drop shippers, I cam across an ad for http://www.simplx.com.
They have a $20.00 non refundable application fee to be able to buy from their product sources. You are led to believe that if your application is approved, you will be able to buy from their sources of name brand products thru them.
After about 3 days, I received an email from them saying they want to talk about my application, then I got a phone call from the "application agent" Larry "Matt" Christensen, who had been assigned to my application.
He wasted very little time informing me that to proceed, I would be required to pay $250.00 to join their program and become a distributor thru them.
I asked him why there was no mention of the $250.00 fee prior to paying the $20.00 application fee. He said people in this business do their research, and I must not have done my homework, or I would have known that all companies do this.
I told him I'm not prepared to give you $250 for the right to buy your products, and told him that since I was obviously misled, I wanted my $20.00 refunded. He flatly refused to give me the refund.
So, basically, there is a promise of the possibility of being able to buy their products, if approved, but first you have to pay the $20.00 application fee. Then, obviously, everyone is approved, so they can collect another $250.00 from you.By the way, the $250.00 program is the lowest level of entry into their program. It goes up from there, but I didn't talk to him long enough to find out how much the next levels cost.
So, they stole my $20.00, and hoped to steal another $250.00 from me. It is possible they do actually have the sources they claim, which are almost all of the major name brands (as you can see on their home page http://www.simplx.com), but the lie and scam is that you are led to believe that the $20.00 will get you in. But the truth is, all the $20.00 gets you is a phone call to tell you that you have to spend another $250.00 minimum, to proceed.
