I did my research. I knew they had an F rating with the BBB. I also know that not all companies list themselves with the BBB, so I gave them a shot. I wrote to them for the kit. I paid not only the $22.97 for the starter kit, but in order to save $10.00 on the registration fee, I paid that up front as well and paid for that so I shelled out another $19.95. Stupid me... I read all the paperwork and did my first sample and was so excited that everything seemed so up front and the contact information was right there and you could actually get someone on the phone and the fax number was actually a REAL fax number and it wasn't boasting a "get rich quick" theme that I jumped ahead of myself and sent in an additional $250 for my first packet of 10 kits. That would mean as soon as I was approved as an assembler for them I could begin making 10 kits at a time and earn $250.00... Maybe that each week if I could find the time while raising 4 kids at home. I was excited. The first pin I put together didn't look much like the sample and in 2 weeks time I got rejected and the explanation letter was well stated what I needed to do to fix my pin. I took the second sample kit and put it together and boy, it looked worse than my first pin! I sent it in anyway and it got rejected also in about two weeks with another letter explaining what needed to be fixed and so on the third one, I took special care to make sure all my measurements matched up just right and the wings were straight and everything was perfect! I knew this one was going to pass. Even my husband said it looked just like the sample pin they sent to me. I sent it to them Delivery confirmation on April 7th. They received it April 9th of this year. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting to hear something. So after three weeks of no response I begin calling and no one is answering the phone with the "Angel Pin" pick up and the fax isn't a fax line any more and then emails are getting kicked back as undeliverable and four weeks go by and now five and six and seven. So, they got me good! Not only did I buy the starter kit and pay for the registration fee, but they got an extra $250 out of me and they just dropped off the face of the earth and I can't get my money back from them and I can't file a complaint through Paypal cause it was back in so I'm stuck with a bag of plastic beads and wire ribbon that's probably worth about $25 at the local craft store! Ugh, what I could do to take care of my family right now with $250.00! And the worst part is they make "ANGEL PINS" imagine that. Angel pins. Something Godly they claim while they steal from people. Oh well, it's to late for me and mine to do more than speak out and stop you from giving anything to them if they should ever try to open up another website down the road and hopefully "Vengeance is Mine"—says the Lord and KARMA are all true and Shelly Olson will get her's in the long run for what she's done to people like me. I know there's more like me out there. God Bless you guys who gave her money like I did thinking we were going to help supplement our families income and be able to stay home with our kids. We did it with the right spirit even if there was a thief amongst us. Shelly Olson. God sees your sin... Wherever you go, there you are.
