It is pretty much the same as in the case of others. One Mr. Mike Tanner, representative of Namaste Group contacted me in July. After taking my US$499.00 by CC, he sent me an acknowledgedment for the receipt of the money. The next day or so, he walked me through the site where my name appeared as an Agent. A few days later, he suggested that if I pay some more, someone would run a blog for me to increase traffic on my site to which I declined saying that this was not mentioned to me initially and that I cannot afford since I'm not working. Even though I did get calls from him only to pursuade me to think about it, there was nothing substantial to show that my investment was making money. A little while later, I noticed that my name disappeared from the site. I sent 2 emails to the management but no answer.in the meantime I had to leave the country after mid-Jan/13 for 3 months and couldn't be in touch with them. Mr. Tanner too, didn't bother to keep me up to date. Since he told me at first that I didn't have to do anything and the increasing traffic on my site would itself generate income for me. He also told me that I was on Amazon and that itself is an indication that I'd be visible.
Well, the day after I returned, April 17, a representative, Mr. Frank Morane (800-557-4106) called me unexpectedly and told me that my file was transferred to him. He again used the same sales pitch about investing more in order to run the blog and the income I would derive. He demanded $1700.00 and I was shocked. He said I could call him back in 5 hours' time. I replied saying that I just came back and cannot be forced to make a decision so quickly. I asked him about Mr. Mike Tanner and he told me that he does not do more except to register investors. When I was reluctant to pay him more, he gave me another option. I could pay less - $1200 but I should get him another investor. I told him that I've to discuss with my daughter first. But I didn't tell him that I had made a complaint to BBB of Arizona in March. He too, did not ask me about it. But I felt that he had called me only because the company must have received a message from BBB after my submission.
My daughter in S. Africa did some research and sent me links to your website and that is how I happened to come in contact with you.By the way, I live in Canada.
