On April 4, I got to this offer from an article while reading a link off MSNBC.com. And on top of the artical is a banner says something like: as reported on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc. And the article is about the success of a lady live in my home town, Gilbert, AZ. And a bunch of other rave reviews (now of course we know those are fakes. No real customers were able to add in their feedback). Looked like a legitimate biz opportunity to me at that time.
I signed up on April 4, thinking to spend $2.97 for a "startup-kit" is not that bad. I googled right after I signed up and was surprised to see how many people were filling consumer complaintss against this company. I then found out they have charged me $139.95 on that day. I have been trying to call them to cancel my account and was put on hold for hours. I was through once to an answering service stating somebody will call me back. But that call never came.
Today, I finally got through to a guy named Chuck Garcia (in Florida he claims) to request cancelling my account and refund me the $139.95. You can guess his answer: yes on canceling but no on refund.
It's such a dishonest way to make (steal) a buck from the people who are hurting during this tough economic time.
I have called my credit card company to get my money back. I'm going to file a complain with the AZ BBB as well.
