Automated Business Groups
Give you "tons of deals" explain it to you fully, even -promised - me that this WASN'T a scam. Lost $300

I was contacted by an affiliate website "online shopping mall" group called Automated Business Groups when I signed up for some more information online. I'm no stranger to affiliate websites and website marketing and online marketing or online selling and website traffic... I know a lot about all of it. I spent over an hour on the phone with a guy named "Robert Sloan" he went on telling me about how everything works, got me even to go online and look at this website and how it all works, it all looked so real! HE explained that I would deal with a coach 1 on 1 and I'd have a website domain and hosting with "no set up or registering fees" and for "usually $700" you get a "gold" package which included access to Amazon profits, Target products, toys R us products, and GPS which is a "new product but he knows it will be big" and once it gets big it will become "locked out" and only the people who have it now will ever have it so we are the only ones getting the big money. That it would all be set up and selling and I dont have to do anything at all! The coach and I would only settle on how things LOOK and where the money will be going when I start "doubling the money I put in by the end of the month." and after everything, I told him that I still wasn't so sure about it so he threw in GPS "for free" just to tie me over. I asked him, "if you promise me this isnt a scam, Ill believe you" so he promised me, this isnt a scam! So I believed him. I got a call back from an "account executive" and gave them my credit card information and that they would send me a tax form that I would have to sign and everything! I am canadian so I didnt have to fill that out. Then they sent me a 5 page pamplhet, I had a signed up with the coach and he was supposed to call me. That was the LAST time I heard from them. Ive been hunting them down ever since but no luck. Still trying. BE VERY WARY of affiliate "work from home" sites. 90% of it out there is very scammy! Nobody makes money but the people who are scamming...
