I too have been ripped off by Startup Essentials. I am stuck in a lease that I can;t use. I went as far as to build my website and begin Marketing it.By the time I got to this point I had spent about $5000 doing everything they told me to do. I followed every piece of advice and listened to every word. I had a good website. They said so.
Then last summer things begin to change within the company. The weekly conference calls we usually had on Wednesday and Thursday nights were suspended... We were ggiven a " break". Then they put a month worh of calls up for us to call at out convience. One per week. Then they were put on podcasts. No new ones were ever added that I found. No new blog pages went up. Our daily motivational emails stopped August 23...
Anyway... I started marketing my site and then they had a company named Optigroove there to assist me and to tell me that I needed their services to make it in marketing. At $2500 to start... So I knew I had been had... Now what?
I wrote the BBB of Dallas and did get a response from them... I encourage everyone to write to them as the more complaints they get against them the better. They will eventually strip them of their BBB membership. So please everyone email them at www.dallas. BBB.org
or write them BBB Of Metro Dallas, INC 1601 Elm St. Suite 3838 Dallas TX 75201...
If everyone files a complaint eventually someone will take notice..
Thanks
