This started as a 'work at home' offer in June of by 'Nathan Page' representing 'True Success'. I told him that I was old, 78 at the time and ill, and he assured me that this was perfect for me and that my 'investment' would make me an 'affilliate', buying leads which their 'agents' would follow up with an email 'blast'. I would receive $50.00 for each closed deal, then residual checks as the merchants used the company's products. I bought 7,500 'leads ($7,500). I made several calls and was told that it could take up to 3 months to receive any money.
In September I complained to one person I managed to connect with and the next week received a check for $50.00. I called this a 'shut up check' since I have not received any further monies from this company. I received a few calls from different individuals each of whom were supposedly my 'business coordinator' who would tell me that they were close to 'closing' a deal. Of course, I was never able to reach any of them.
I paid for a website which I have never been able to find. The worst of this is that I fell for another scam in March by the same company. The agent assured me that the funds of $5,146 would come out of the business. It seems that this money essentially paid for sales training by a company called 'Focus', making 'cold calls' on local merchants. He talked so fast that I became confused and agreed. I was still recovering and not thinking clearly or I would certainly not have fallen for this nonsense again! I feel very foolish and downright stupid.
I am now facing bankruptcy. This 'company' has many names ie: True success, Innovative Business Advantages, web site 'ibizadvantages', Economic Freedom Corp. Aka aaa freedom corp, F Marketing, Cornerstone Marketing, Websites 4 America, FCMMS. I traced as far back as I could coming up with 'Suki Enterprises' which is apparently the head corporation. I think of these people as financial terrorists! Lesson: don't pay money up front for any so called 'opportunity'! It's a SCAM!
