A-1 Leasing, Jamesone, Startup Essentials Scammed big time! Startup Essentials from Texas is a major scam artist, BEWARE! Check Texas BBB, don't commit! Internet
I recieved an unsolicited call about starting a home-based business. They were convincing and it sounded like what I was looking for.
Fast talkers, answered all my questions well. Said I would recieve alot, including a laptop, and step by step instructions to start a website, daily e-mails, weekly conference calls and one-on-one help. The catch was that you had to make a decision right then. Never commit immediately to anything without a second or third opinion.
I was by myself and they said when I hung up I wouldn't have another chance. I would recieve a laptop and software for credit card processing for $130/ mo. on a 4 year noncancellable lease. I was a fool and slightly desperate.
I recieved a cheap laptop with no software backup and it crashed after about 2 weeks. There is no software on the computer for credit card processing. It is an Acer computer and was a pain to get the software back.
I started on the lessons and unless you do it 10 hours a day you won;t finish it for a long time. You can't start a website until you finish half the course and then the promised help at their website was very inadequate.
I worked for months and started to build my site then my questons were treated with disdain and rudeness.
I no longer recieve the daily e-mails and their phone number has changed.
The BBB of Texas did have an okay rating for them when I started, now thay are not members any longer.
Be Cautious.
