Namaste
You got a call for a business opportunity from Namaste. What is it? Who are they? Is it a good investment? Read a review below.
So, somewhere at sometime you made a request online to learn about an income opportunity. If you are like me you then started getting phone calls from all over North America asking you to participate in numerous money making opportunities. If you are reading this you probably got a call from Namaste Consulting Group LLC. The pitch is this. They start by telling you how many transactions are made by credit cards and that you can be a part of that huge market by setting up merchant ID numbers for companies. This allows the company to accept credit card payments. All you have to do is let Namaste set up a website for you and any business that applies through your website and is approved gives you a commission. Not only that but you get a residual income from their sales. You don't even have to do any work! Someone else will do all the necessary steps to get them approved. You simply supplied the internet portal that found the customer. The cost of this opportunity is $500.00. They also promise to have you on the front page of Google when your site is set up. Now that should come with a caveat because you certainly won't rank #1 for people looking to apply for a merchant ID number. What they do is get you to rank on page one if someone types in your URL address into google. My site was http://www.mobilecreditcardprocessingveriphonehandheld.com / So if someone did a Google search for "mobile credit card processing veriphone handheld" my site would be on the first page of Google. Now I knew that was slim but I build websites and created this URL that you are on now to assist with that. Http://themerchantidmerchant.com was created by me to direct traffic to my Namaste site for applicants. The other thing Namaste doesn't tell you is that after you pay the $500 they want another $3500 to get blogs written for you to improve your search traffic. I told them that if that was necessary, and had been explained to me at the time, I wouldn't have signed up for it. PUNCHLINE To make a long story short there is a new name on "my" site. I have been removed and can no longer reach them even though I have sent numerous emails to all parties. They have my money and within a few months they gave the site to someone else who paid them for the same URL. Since they have not called me back or responded to my emails I have filed a claim with the FTC regarding their business practices. Reference # 34061551. So I hope I have shed some light on this for anyone considering this opportunity. As a side note, they do promise a money back guarantee of 105% but it doesn't matter if you can't reach them. I have also been cold called by them again, so I asked to speak to the supervisor (whom has to speak to you if you are interested) and they simply hung up on me.
