ecommercesalesdirect.com SCAM! Never did as they said, and refused refund Phoenix, Arizona
On November 5th, 2011 I received a call from ecommercesalesdirect.com. I was aware that my name was on a list for home business's.
I talked to a James Ross for almost an hour, asking every question I could think of. The program was suppose to be an affiliate program designed to give you a store front website through which you sold items. The items that you would choose from were supposedly from a variety of major stores, like Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, and so forth.
Your site would contain 6 to 12 categories through which you could sell whatever you decided upon: electronics, housewares, clothes, shoes, music, books, etc....
They would set up your webpage, and their coaches would help you get up and running. There was an additional fee quoted to me AFTER I signed up, IF I wanted help with traffic.
Well, my webpage was never available. I was told several times that their server was down due to heavy rains in their area of AZ. However, I still have not been able to access my website.
I did tell them I wanted a refund. That I felt that the program was not going to work for me. I was originally told that I had up to a year to request my refund if I was not happy.
I was told by customer service that I would not be given a refund unless I could prove that I tried everything possible to promote my website/sales.
Since then I have tried every number I have for them, and today anyone. The lines were either continually busy, or the call would fail.
It cost $195 to register into the program, and an additional $20 a month for domain.
I would HIGHLY recommend that people stay away from ecommerce sales direct. com. The fact that their phones and their server are always "down", seems really suspicious to me. And for a home business I was told would make at least 2 to 3000 over Black Friday, and Cyber Monday alone ..... And STILL no website is available..... Says this is a major scam.
If they return my money, I will recant this report, but until then I plan on spreading the word where ever I can.

UPDATE: I have continued to try and reach this company about attaining my refund.
Unfortunately all phone numbers I had for this so called company, have been disconnected.
I want to warn people that this scam was very well done. They had customer service (a woman), the original sales person ( a young guy, and I could hear MANY other people talking in the background as if it would a telephone center), and then a "coach" who called me at my residence to supposedly help me set up my business.
There was also a recording when I called the number given to me for the coach, that was a different man than the others.
This is by no means a small operation, and I am sure they will be back with more scams.
