I have not been able to find the company's "hook" (FOR SURE) that they used to convince me to go on their website, and fall hook, line and sinker for their story! But it was so very, very believable, even to me, who, I thought, had gotten smarter about these schemes! They showed me company logos from Home Depot, Best Buy, and others that I don't remember, and the "work" had something to do with taking orders, or typing orders... Yes, it was vague, but I assumed they needed to be, or other companies would steal their idea. BUT, the VERY believable part was when they had you check the time of the day that was best for their instructor (or whatever they called him/her) to call me the NEXT DAY! I checked "morning" and then waited about 3 days, and finally started researching what was going on. I gave them, naiively, $97!!! I used my bank's debit card, and when I hadn't heard from them after 3 days, I went online to my most recent bank statement, and found the phone # for this bogus company. All that was on my bank statement was the city and state, and their phone number. Surprisingly, I did get ahold of an Hispanic-speaking man (he SOUNDED Hispanic anyway), who I had trouble understanding, and he gave me the web address above so I could download the page to cancel. I was not able to do that, so called them back, and they were good enough to e-mail it to me; I couldn't TYPE my answers on the page, SO, I sent them an e-mail last night, and angrily promised them I would notify my Attorney General of this scam. Then I remembered the "consumer complaints, " and thought it might get something done even quicker! Stay clear of this company! And I am beginning to believe ALL of them are this way. I have lost other money to these scams also! (The only POSSIBLE CONNECTION I have made is "Type for Profit" and then "Make great money weekly typing @ home"... And "powered by Virtumundo"... This is as close as I can get to suspecting which e-mail/link I opened that got me into trouble. I THINK this is the one.)
