Internet Auction Solutions - IAS - BidFuel eBay Auction Success Kit or Group, Bright Builders; Multiple Rip-offs! ebay FRAUD! Credit Card Scams! Draper Utah
In follow up to the previous reprt on Internet Auctions Solutions, my husband had a very similar situation when he was called by them on my inquiry.
First- Clay x6368 said he would call me back the following day at 1pm EST and confirmed that was his 11am Utah time. Instead of getting the time diff correct- they called 2 hours late- 1pm THEIR time.
Secondly- this was a fact finding mission on our part and my husband told Clay and Kevin x6398 that there was no capital at this moment to start with. We were looking to see if this was an option we wanted to pursue and could afford to get started with.
After a number of calls and hours of discussion and video watching, and yes- pages of handwritten notes- Kevin asks my husband for his credit card number and he tells him "No. I told you at the begining I would not be doing this." At this point I am in the room and I can hear Kevin raising his voice and completely talking over the top of my husband and it turns out he hs railing against my husband's character and even the crosstown high school my husband went to in Salt Lake City way back when!!! He was cussing non-stop and degrading my husband to no end until my husband hung up.
My husband regained his composure and called Clay at his extension. A female picked up and said "Is this Steve?" He spoke to Clay and mentioned the call very briefly but refused to tell me the responce.
MY TURN... I am calling tomorrow to cancel the BidFuel set up that started this whole business. I will be contacting the BBB myself and any other organization I can report these "business" people to.
We shall see what happens with our credit card since I have given myself leeway to cancel a few days before the 14Day cancel window!

They own different websites that offer BIDFUEL, Blogtoolkit.com, ADDmedia, and many others.
The St. Kitts, East Caribbean address is BOGUS. It's just an off shore mailbox drop-off address.

It truly is Auction Profits LLC that was the company that went off on your husband. The owners are Mark and Kevin H. and Luke Bills. There are a few other people but they are the main ones. I'm sorry you guys felt offended by their behavior. But that's just how they do things there. Not that i'm in agreement with it. You just have to be careful where you put your info anymore online. It will get you sales calls like these. Some provide a great service others are scams. So buyer beware, do research before you give any credit card info. And make sure that this is something you really feel passionate about doing for a living.

THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH INTERNET AUCTION SOLUTIONS!

After my divorce in 2008, I got a call from Internet Auction Solutions. They did seem a bit pushy, but at the time I was in a heck of a bind financially, and I didn't know anything about ebay or the Internet.
I ended up signing up with Internet Auction Solutions and their entire program for more than $7,000! After I completed the enrollment and got off the phone, I felt horrible inside. There are soooo many scams and bad people out there I thought I had made a huge mistake. I called to cancel and spoke with the Public Relations person I think David was his name. He informed me that I had already been outside of the recision period. He also asked if things had dramatically changed financially for me. He wanted to know if I had won the lottery or something. I told him no and asked why he asked the question. He said that I had before me an entire system, including software, tools, products, and professional coaching. He also pointed out that if I had not won the lottery I should probably start using the system to make a solid income. I knew my financial situation was horrible, people at work were being laid off everywhere. He also pointed out that they offered a complete service guarantee, and would guarantee that I would at least double my initially investment. The other option I has was to quit and receive nothing. He urged me to proceed and use the system.
I am a Christian woman and spent a few days praying and consulting with friends. On November 1, 2008 I started the coaching and training and put up my first set of auctions. Since then, I have been sooooo happy I did. The following has occurred since Nov, 1, 2008:
1. I have averaged about 45 auctions per week, about $450 per week in profit!!!!!
2. I have learned the market research tool to find out what I need to sell on ebay.
3. I work part time for a florist, and crossing guard 2 weekly, this new home business gived me the freedom with about 1 hour per day to make around $2000 monthly.
When I first signed up, my friends and family were very skeptical, as was I.
But I did have a friend that told me she used to work for the Bowflex company. She asked my if I thought any of the executives at Bowflex felt guilty for building and selling people an exercise machine that less that 10% of the buyers actually use. I said no. its not up to the Bowflex people to make sure the people that buy their machines actually put in the work and see results!! I guess it's the same with this and just about anything. The IAS program is working for me, because I did what I was told. I went to every appointment. I did every assignment. Today I have great respect for David at Internet Auction Solutions. I'm not even sure if he still works there. But his professional push got me to take advantage of what I had in front of me.
Today, I'm soooo happy he did.
