Matt Bacak recognizes that complaints posted on Rip-off Report (true or not) are issues that need to be addressed and if handled correctly can be valuable learning opportunities. Rip-off Report understands, mistakes happen, and it's impossible to satisfy 100% of the people 100% of the time. But Matt Bacak stated that he did not want anyone to be an unsatisfied customer.

Rip-off Report's investigation of Matt Bacak uncovers an ongoing commitment to total client satisfaction.

Bacak stated to Rip-off Report that his philosophy is "Not only are we focused on providing the most current 'Bleeding Edge' marketing tools and strategies available, we are also 100% committed to taking good care of our customers and dealing with all customer service issues within 24-48 hours of receiving them. We don't want to meet the 'standard' - we want to exceed the standard... and set the bar higher for everyone else." Rip-off Report has confirmed that Matt Bacak takes customer support seriously. Matt has recently put into place systems, people, and technology that make it certain that his staff is the easiest to contact and easiest to deal with in teaching, training and marketing services on the Internet. Such changes include improved websites, improved access through targeted SEO and more clear information about their services and how to contact the company. Rip-off Report was pleased to learn that his past and current approach to business is focused on his pledge to total commitment towards customer satisfaction. Again, Matt Bacak recognizes that complaints posted on Rip-off Report (true or not) are issues that need to be addressed and if handled correctly can be valuable learning opportunities. For instance, he learned it was necessary to remove certain employees because of their inability to follow new policies. "I hate having to fire people, but the fact is my customers are my #1 business priority," Matt told Rip-off Report.

DESPERATE FOR RESOLUTION , Duluth, Georgia,

I'm fed up!

Firstly I get an email promoting Matt Bacak's latest gimmick with a link to this promotion: https://mattbacakretires.com/wow.php?affiliate=0

It states "Get My $5,500 Internet Marketing For Just...ONE DOLLAR"

Well it turned out not be just one dollar at all. No strings mentioned throughout but my Debit Card/Account balance says somthing different!!

I mean when I filled out my card details for the $1 purchase I was bombarded with about 5 different 'super amazing' one time offers all wasting my time and slowing my progress to the final pay screen. But now I find that he's signed me up for a monthly subscription to something i never wanted.

I sent him emails..sample of one below:

"From: Mark
Date: May 18, 2009 7:43 PM
Subject: Very Urgent refund needed.
To: mattbacakretires@gmail.com

Hi Matt,

I used my Visa Debit Card to puchase the $1 sale you had (
https://mattbacakretires.com/wow.php#doer ).

I didn't agree to be charged $29.97 on a monthly basis let alone at all.

I recently noticed on my account that a $29.97 has been charged for the Internet Marketing Dirt newsletter.

I need you to refund the amount charged in full and never again charge me for any ongoing service with your company. I make a point of never paying a company online monthly sums of money for information that I can retrieve for much less and without regular debits. And when I say I need you refund it immediately, I mean it, I am in great distress being short on money for food and medical expenses relating to Kidney troubles, Diabetes, Hypertension. The extra stress is all due to you incorrectly charging my Debit Card more than the $1 agreed to etc. The last thing I need is to be down $29.97 US ($51.02 NZ).

The last 4 digits on my Visa Debit Card are as follows: xxxx((REDACTED)))

Please call me as soon as you get this email, anytime of the day or night.

Regards,

...
I've also called his office around 7 times over the last 8 days and have left approx. 5 Voice messages. I haven't received any communication from anyone. I'm really angry and this is my second to last resort. The next thing I'll have to resort to if this does'nt get his attention is Worldwide Article submissions and Videos warning people against buying from him and explaining my experience.

I want and need speedy resolution; I trusted Matt and have paid the price: stress, lack of money and worsening blood pressure.

Sort it out Matt please, my situation is not unique based on others postings re the same problem. Please see that this is not good ethical business!!

hello mark,

just wanted to let you know that Im in the very same situation like you were.

Also ordered the $1 CD back in November - and NEVER GOT IT DELIVERED!
This could be due to customs or whatever but still - no product delivered.

The last two months I got the Marketing Newsletter from Matt Bacak - which I never ordered.
At the time of the second delivery the first doubts appeared.

today i checked my credit card balance - and saw that I was charged the last 4 (!!!) months for a product that I never ordered - and only got delivered once. thats 29.95 or .99 times 4 - 120 $.

I sent out an email today to ask for a statement and immediate refund and will report here.

regards, stefan

This report seems fishy!!!!

This seems really fishy to me.

I can't totally believe this whole thing.

I see a lot of inconsistencies in this report.

The report says - "Called 7 times and left approx. 5 Voice messages"

The rebuttal says - "5 CHARGEABLE INTERNATIONAL CALLS, TWO MSGS"

So what is it, really?

I went to the page that was mentioned.

Personally, I think you'd have to be blind to miss that ugly pink box which
says you will be charged.

Maybe I'm just wrong.

Although, It's right above the location you stick the visa card information.

In addition, I think it takes a few days to get a refund back on a credit card.

In the U.S of America we celebrate Memorial day to honor our troops.

Everything is closed

Banks Included.

AFTER 9 DAYS, MORE THAN 5 CHARGEABLE INTERNATIONAL CALLS, TWO MSGS, 1 RIPOFF REPORT, AND ATLEAST 4 EMAILS

AFTER 9 DAYS, MORE THAN 5 CHARGEABLE INTERNATIONAL CALLS, TWO MSGS, 1 RIPOFF REPORT, AND ATLEAST 4 EMAILS...

I finally have my money back on my Visa.

In the companies response to list report and my emails, they stated that I would have received an email on the 18th of may when apprently the refund was set in motion. I didn't receive any such email; if i had, I would have no reason tp have called so many times and waisted more of my money on those international calls. I find it very interesting that despite my asking the company to call me back when I'd left messages and emailed them, not once did anyone call me personally to sort out the mess. No apology for the charge, no apology for the lack of communication, and no acknowlegement of any wrong doing.

They were quite happy for me to have paid to call them, but they couldn't or rather wouldn't call me. Is their expense more important than mine?, it certainly seems that way.

My advice is be very cautious when dealing with this company, or just steer clear of them completely.

I have my money back now yes, and that is great, and whilst I know that they had a duty to repay me, I do feel that I earned it with all the correspondance and time waisting involved. in fact with the toll calls that I've made and sleep lost through trying to work with the time difference etc, I have lost more than I've been credited back.

Thank you Ripoffreport for enabling those taking adavantage of others to be made accountable and light a fire under their butt.

Regards,

Mark.

Refunded on May 18,2009

Hi Mark,

I have looked into this report and found your account. Our records, show that we
responded and refunded you on the 05-18-2009. Which was the same day you emailed us the first time. The refund was made through the gateway on 5/18 and should appear shortly.

Although, because it it a US holiday the banks are closed right now here.

You should have received multiple emails from us letting you about the charges, one regarding the refund and one regarding being canceled. I have also looked into the phone calls, after going through the call logs and can only find 1 message that was received 4 hours ago.

This report was Submitted: 5/25/2009 9:01:12 AM
The call I found was made: 11:03AM 05/25/2009

As I stated - a refund was made on 05-18-2009
and should appear back in your account shortly.

Hi Mark,

It's Memorial Day weekend here
in the USA. I let my office out
on holiday early. That may be
the reason for no response.

But, I have called, texted and
emailed my support team to jump
on this right away to see what
exactly happened.
