Adriatic Services misleading and dishonest company. they take your money and offer no support Scottsdale Arizona
I was contacted by Bob from youradultstore.net telling me that the sex industry was a multi billion $ a year business.
He told me that for a $329.00 one time fee and $29.00/month hosting fee i could have a 30 000 product online adult store and get a piece of the action.
So he asked me what i thougt i should be making in this venture,so i thougt about it and the number that came to mind was 10-15 000 dollars a year would be nice because i am semi retiered on it would be nice to have some extra cash.
He laughed saying you will make 5 times that no problem,so i signed up and he told me that i would be contacted by a company rep.
I then find out that i must pay 89.00/month for 30 000 products,i refused and was told by the company that Bob got ahead of himself but they would honor the original price,so far so good
I receive a call from jackie wilson telling me that there are extras that i must pay for like google site mape and a best sellers column and e-mail response etc..and he wants $5500.00 for these features.
I said are you nuts!! I dont know anything about this business and you want 5500 dollars no way,so he says let me talk to my boss and comes back with a $2500.00 special offer,no way i said
What are you willing to pay he said,$1000.00 no more i said.
So he went back to his invisible boss and said OK it's your lucky day but in 90 days wen you have made this money back we will have to talk about investing more money..OK i said
Then i receive a call from Shawn Henderson asking me if he can go into my control panel to spice up my website and make it look like a million bucks.two weeks go by and nothing so i call the company only to find out that these guys dont work there anymore.
Then a new guy calls me telling me that these guys are idiots and that what they did for me was useless and that i must give him a $1000.00 if i hope to make a sale,i refused and since then they have dropped me like a hot potato
I have since then been in contact with many other members of youradultstore.net and they to have suffered the same outcome.
The company does not answer the phone and do not return mail
It has been over three months and i did not sell a single item,a far cry from what i was promised

Adriatic Services is Global Net Warehouse
#7Consumer Comment
Sat, April 21, 2007
Dear Sirs, I am a customer of Global Net Warehouse who spent $34,000 on advertising and a web site with a company called Global net warehouse. Having spent the money last year with no results whatsoever I decided to go to Tempe, Arizona, to find the individuals who sold me. I worked with a coach by the name of Robert King. I went to 223 University drive in March, 2007, and found another company occupying the premesis.
I spoke with the other tenants and I was told a company took over Golbal net warehouse, but went bankrupt after the frist of the year. I spoke with a man by the name of David who worked at Global Net Warehouse and Direct marketing solutions, the company that bought out global. David showed me the office upstairs as his new place of employment and told me the owners of global net warehouse sold their business to open adriatic services, an adult product program, which is where he works now.
When I returned home I looked up adriatic services and saw the same type of complaints that global net has. It's a sorry state of affairs in America when good people get taken by con men who continually rob poor innocent people and reopen under a different name. Global net and adriatic services and Robert King will all be hearing from my attorney.
this is not the end!

once again this complaint was filed under someone else's acount so i must update here
Dear Bob
do you even bother reading the complaints. All your disatisfied members are not complaning about having to work on there websites. We are tired of your lies and lack of support.I spend 2/4hours a day working on my website and sometimes i need information. we were promissed a coach..there are no coaches, you dont even answer the phones or returne calls.
What ever happened to Jackie Wilson.It's funny that after paying him i have never heard from him again.
Do you remember that day bobby boy, how many times did you and Jackie call me to get my $1329.00. if you dont remember i have all these calls and our 10 minute conversation recorded, if you wish i can post them in audio format.
And what about Shawn Henderson who called me and told me he was half owner of the company and that he would help me anytime.
Surprise. They dont work there anymore, and i was told by another member of your team that they are idiots. So what does this tell me about your company. He also told me that i would not make a single sale without premium pricing that i could only obtain with YOUR company for a $1000. Hey you sold me a website with bad prices
Did you not tell me i should mark up 50/150%. thats funny i have over 3000hits at 10% and nothing.
I have just spent $400 on advertising for a big event in montreal and the next day i receive a call from the organiser telling me that all my products are out of stock,sure enough i went in to my website and there it is OUT OF STOCK
Dont you think i should have been advised about this,i can not even close for maintenance with my c/p. do you think anybody will revisit a out of stock website
Ya see Bob these are the things we are talking about.not having to promote our websites but dealing with a company that dont give a s**t
Listen. Give me my money back and all will be forgoten
I hope you will not post again saying YOU MUST PROMOTE because i think the readers understand how you and your company operate

Hey robert if you did not realize that advertising was a part of owning a business then how is it my fault when we start people in this business we explain to them that they are responsible for their own advertising whether it be through our growth and development dept or they choose other avenues of advertising.And besides what in the heck are you even comp[laining about when you did not even give this a fair shot you only had a store online with us less than 3 months and were expecting miracles after 2 months in business especially since you did no advertising at all for your business, people need to realize that having a business and not advertising is like sailing in a boat with no sail you will just sit there and waste away again we are sorry that you did not realize this but next time you will and maybe next time you will give the business you choose a fair shot which is more than 2 months you do not AND ONCE AGAIN I REPEAT LOUD AND CLEAR YOU OR ANY OF OUR CLIENTS DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND ANYMORE MONEY WITH US THAN THEIR SETUP FEE AND MONTHLY HOSTING FEES so as far as us "hiting you up for 5500dollars" you can say no I assume

Robert.When we spoke YOU told me that i would have to pay a 29.00/month hosting fee and after i signed up i find out that it's 89.00/month
YOU also told me that i can promote myself within Canada because you have shippers in Canada,not true
I was told by your company that there are no shippers in Canada
And shipping to Canada is almost 3 times the price and costumers would have to wait 2 weeks instead of 2/5 days
YOU also never told me i would be hit for $5500.00 after i signed up..then i was contacted by another salesman that i would have to purchase premium pricing because i would not make a sale with the prices that i have now
Another important thing YOU did not tell me..And when i contacted the company about YOU, they told me WE are sorry but Bob sometimes gets ahead of himself.So why the hell would i want to contact YOU again
And as far as get rich quick, if You remeber i said that i would be happy if i made it to 10/15 000 dollars a year.Does that sound like i thought i would get rich from this.
There is no support available from YOU or your company unless we pay you THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE
And as far as balls are concerned if you had any they would not be crystal

In regards to robert in canada.We are very sorry you didnt realise that advertising was a part of this business and robert had only been a client with us less than 4 months I have and continue to tell all of my clients that this is not a get rich quick scheme as with any business its a marathon and not a sprint .I would never tell anybody an amount they can make with this business because as with any business you have to market and promote it or you will not make any money.You have got to realize that marketing and promotion is the key.We provide people with the tools they need to make money in this industry we cannot force them to use these tools however.Also 1 thing mr robert from canada I did not recieve one call from you explaining to me your disatisfaction and i apologize for not having my crystal ball working properly if we can do something to make you happy feel free to cantact me you have my number still
