Financial Resources Unlimited, ripoff Assemble At Home, I did not want a list of companies, I wanted what they promised. Broadview Illinois
The company sent out a letter about working at home assembling items for $30 per item. After you have assembled 12 items you would get your money back for requesting your starter kit.
All supplies were supposed to be supplied with the first shipment. All I received is a letter telling me of companies the are suppose to hire people to work at home assembling.
I did not want a list of companies, I wanted what they promised. It is nothing but a big rip-off and I don't understand why the States Attorney doesn't shut them down without all of us having to file more reports.

The first thing you should look at when you go to
one of these ads is to first check to see if their
on the rip-off list and go from there and that is
not what i did until it was to late. And if you
can't reach a company by phone and the address to
email them dosen't exist then that should let you
know odds are it's not right.

Please call Att. Gen. Lisa Madigan at 1-312-814-3000, or writer to her: James R. Thompson Center, 100 W. Randolph St., Chicago, IL, 60601. I understand long distance phone calls can run into money. Another consumer in your situation said they returned her calls twice, and are currently investing. It is IMPORTANT that you contact the Attorney General in some, because he's changing his "rip off routine". He has not previously given out lists. They really need to have this information. You should also call your own Attorney General. Unfortunately I do not have an address for your State.
It is also important to fill out your online complaint form at www.usps.com. They need a higher head count too, before opening a case. They require the higher numbers, because of a limited budget. They also respond to HIGH PRESSURE; but they wont get that, if you do not inform them.
I suspect he is sticking you with that "Classifieds List", because it is perfectly legal. You can sell directories and lists to people; however he is not supposed to lie in the process. You have to save all dealings with him, through mail, copies of forms you filled out, and even the AD you read. He's trying to pull some kind of new bait-and-switch, probably because he is well aware of the Attorney General's investigation.
I would also suggest you report this to the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov.
In the Search section here access Keyword: Financial Resources Unlimited. There is a lot of information there, you might review, just to better understand the situation.
Hope this helps.
