Last year my wife and I attended a seminar about "Winning in the cash flow business, " from a commerical we say on TV. Everything seemd great at the seminar and of course it seemd so "easy" that in the end we decided to join up. With my job I wasnt able to attend the workshops. The course was aroudn $4,500 and we put half down on a credit card to finance the rest of it.
One of the things that stood out was that you get a full refund after the first day of training if you do not like it. Very well I thought.
So my wife goes to training, and the first day was just a pretty much the selling point of how the prorgam works, but in more detail. Day 1 was over and it seemd fine.
—notice that full refund day is over.
Day 2 happens and that's when they get you. They say that you need to spend an additional $3,000 for a website with the company so taht you can use it for your note business. Being a web designer, the websites they provide are top notch pieces of sh*t. Horribly designed and all with the same information.
My wife returned and we got excited to start up. That's when the calls began trying to sell more stuff. As a web designer i said that we could design our own site, but then there was no way linking it up with ACF without having to use their site.
In disgust of trying to get the business going, we gave up. Now we had to pay $250.00 a month for the next year. I stopped paying because I felt ripped off and then months later, I received angry letters from their only credit guy.
I think we still owe about $1,000 to these scam artists. My question is, do I pay or do I tell them where to stick it. Honestly, I'm suprised nobody has filed a lawsuit against them. This place is a joke.
