My checks prove theyre real

#41Consumer Comment

Sat, July 09, 2011

Im sorry but this is nonsense. I have used this program for almost a year now. I get a check every week and there are NO hidden fees. Everything was made very clear in the initial solicitation. It always seems the ones complaining about such products are people who never used it or never bothered to read what was right in front of them. Im very happy with the checks they send me. The work is easy as pie on top of that. The BBB does not have a single unresolved complaint against this company, not one. The BBB, who themselves are known to be a scam, only gives this company the rating it does because of the industry its in. That is absolute discrimination and the BBB should be shut down. ABC news recently investigated the BBB and found the more you pay them in member fees the better rating they give your company. Im thrilled with the checks I receive every week. You can listen to the talking heads, or someone who actually bought and used the program like me. I think the choice is clear. Good company all the way

 I am giving this a honest try. I just mailed you a check for $54 and post dated it til 1/28/10 and specifically wrote you a note stating not to process my check til that date. However, Maxwekk Scott you over looked that and cashed it on 1/26/2010. Now I have overdraft fees associated to my account. So now I am invested of my own money a total of $124. I want nothing more than for this program to work so that I can make the money you so eagerly told me I could. Feb 2,2010 will be the 5th buisness day of which I was promised materials. If I do not receive anything by then end of next week then I will feel scammed and angry. I plan to stay optimistic until then. If I receive nothing by the end of Febuary then I will send someone to your address you have publicly posted for my $49 + $35 you promised.

 

thank you and hope this is legit.

Our record speaks for itself. Our program is one of the only totally legitimate ones out there. Our customers do make money. As with so many websites, this one facilitates postings that are completely baseless made by people who have never even seen our product. Try it before you criticize it.

seems to me like someone who is running such a successful business shouldn't have the time to go to RIPOFFREPORT.COM and read so many complaints if he didn't feel obligated to try to prove himself. I mean what other business owner do you think feels the need to go to ripoffreport.com if they are not ripping anyone off...? that is what all these poor souls should think about. if you weren't doing anything wrong why do you feel the need to prove yourself. as a former member of your ripoff ring wants me to do, i beg these people to never send you money. yes, this is a scam...argue all you want, I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!

I stumbled upon this report, and I do have to say that your responses are nothing short of argumentative, condescending and downright rude.

Most companies, once finding themselves on the ROR would be bending over backwards to legitimize their operation, assure the public and so forth. For example, many would (and have) provide a contact number and invite the public to contact them to address concerns about the company in question.

However, you resort to being rude, name calling and implying that the people who subscribe and contribute to ROR have no lives. I can tell you from my perspective, this is far from the truth. I am a very busy worker and father/husband. Yet, I have no issue taking time out of my day to help expose scams, inform people and try to assist them in understanding their rights and obligations.

What do YOU do? Aside from denigrating anyone who dares question you and insisting that you're legit? Of COURSE any business owner is going to insist they're the next best thing, so a self-testimonial isn't really going to go very far.

I would suggest that you take a neutral tone, address and reassure the people questioning your business and your motives, provide proof of the effectiveness of your service/program on a wider scale than your "say-so" testimonial and, as they say, "suffer the fools gladly". That's the real price of business. It's how you deal with what you feel are silly or stupid questions that make your mark as either a business man of integrity and superior moral fiber, or someone with SOMETHING TO HIDE.

Which do you *want* it to be?

To the owner of this company. If you are in fact legit then why do you keep avoiding the simple question of the telephone number. If indeed the address and number are published then why do you have such a hard time putting them on this web site. I think that would make you look more legit and not like you are trying to hide things. I too received a letter in the mail from your company and would like to know if your offer is legit, because like everyone else I would like to make extra money so that I can help my kids out more while they are in college.

From the BBB website:

""Advertising Review
On January 5, 2009 BBB challenged a print ad claiming that consumers could "earn $2,900 to $5,000 each and every week".

According to the BBB Code of Advertising advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any claims or offers made before publication or broadcast and, upon request, present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or the Better Business Bureau.

The company has not responded to BBB's request to substantiate the advertised earnings claims.""

Take your time, we'll wait.

Seems to me that $450 is a far cry from ""$2900 to $5000 each and every week.""

Oh, and the BBB rates this business as an F.

I wouldn't rely on BBB records at all. They don't stand behind them as being correct, so why should you.

If you're still looking into them or other companies, be wise and very cautious, and place whatever you discover out here on the RR.

Does this Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder company even understand home gardeners?

Why is this report at Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder company's door?
http://ripoffreport.com/reports/0/438/RipOff0438123.htm#412886

When I brought the issue of the dealer totally ripping me off to Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder company, they did nothing to resolve that total waste of my time and nothing to make up for the funds that were stolen from me by the Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder company dealer. Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder company associates / disassociates with it's engine maker as it needs.
http://ripoffreport.com/reports/0/438/RipOff0438123.htm#412887

Can I trust a Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder company approved dealer?
http://ripoffreport.com/reports/0/438/RipOff0438123.htm#412891

The problem is with the Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder company, which they say themselves is a small struggling sheet metal manufacturer.
http://ripoffreport.com/reports/0/438/RipOff0438123.htm#412892

Why would I want to buy these Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredders with a new engine, when, based upon my experience, it could very well end up needing to be re-manufactured just to get it to run properly.
http://ripoffreport.com/reports/0/438/RipOff0438123.htm#412897

The entire Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder company and dealer system seem to want to scam the Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder customer out of money. It seems to be the Mackissic Mighty Mac chipper shredder company priority.

.........Your posts defending (promoting) your envelope scheme add credence to the fact it's just a disgusting scam. If it were truly your intent to inspire confidence with the hundreds of people questioning the veracity of your "program", you could do so easily. Just post your physical address and phone number. This information apparently is not on any of the letters and solicitations you send out, and is a source of concern to most.
.
I refer to "hundreds" of your customers, as this is but one complaint site of MANY in which your name comes up.

WHY Respond Angry and Rude???

#41Consumer Comment

Tue, April 14, 2009

My main concern is that the responses from Maxwell Scott, or whoever is representing Maxwell Scott, sounds so angry and rude when responding to potential employees or customers of the company.

There is always going to be someone that objects to what we do for a living, and may point out that what we are doing is wrong. Does that give Maxwell Scott to object about others opinions in such a rude manner?

Maxwell Scott, are you able to respond in a professional and soothing manner that will entise me to send you $49 dollars? I would love to hear what you have to say that is positive about your company, and maybe explain why you guys have decided to not provide a phone number.

Maybe there is not enough staff to handle the phone calls, or the expense is not deemed neccessary, or maybe that you simply do not want to deal with phone calls, and people complaining about what they do not understand if they can get the same result by mail?

I do believe that not everything is a scam; however I would also like to see the the company is capable of speaking to people in a professional tone that is acceptable to most blue collared working people such as myself.

Thank you!!!

Mr. Scott, now that you have the attention of so many people, why don't you tell us Why is it some people get $10 per mailing and others get $20 per mailing? Also, if that one and only lady in AL sent you $99, shouldn't she have gotten 100 envelopes and as a result gotten either $1000 or $2000 and not only $450? Why also, if so many people are asking why doesn't your company have a customer service phone number, don't you simply post it here? Lend some credibility to your argument.

Lets just start with a little common sense. Anybody offering a "job" without a contact number is already a major RED FLAG.

Lets look at the offer.

He is NOT saying he is going to pay you $10 for each report you send. He is saying he will pay you $10 for each oder that comes in s a result of your mailing.

I don't know about anyone else but there are only a handfull of people I would trust to tell me the truth about money matters. NEVER a stranger who is "supposed" to pay me.

Now for some good old fashioned common sense. I can hire a company that does mailings for the total cost of $1 each includding print addressing and mailing. And if I really want to get cheap I can do business with a South American company for about 30 each. They have cheper everything includding mailing to America.

So How does he make money. He gets you to pay all the costs and he gets you to mail the SAME letter you are reading. Just another clue.

And then he will tell you it takes time for the mailings to get back and of course you never reach the amount you need to quilify to get a check.

He responded and said he had a woman who made $400 after only 8 weeks. And this was his "best" example?

Received my package

#41UPDATE Employee

Thu, February 05, 2009

Back again to add more info.

In the first mailer I received, it stated that prepaid envelopes, addressed labels, and flyers would be sent to my house to be completed and mailed out. However, at the end of last week, I received a letter from Maxwell Scott Inc. letting me know that there has been a few changes in the past couple weeks regarding to their system. Now they send you envelopes, addressed labels, and flyers in the package, but you purchase the stamps yourself. And in order to be reimbursed for my postage AND receive your initial application fee once, they need to receive 50 mailings BACK with your code on them instead of after 3 weeks of mailings.

The 50 order rule also applies to receiving further packages at no charge. Instead to continue getting packages, I need to send half the amount, $25 for me, to get another package. Once I reach 50 orders, I'll be reimbursed for the LAST postage receipt, and receive a free package of the materials I initially mailed out. Now I'm not sure, but that sounds like I need to continuing paying for packages at half price until they receive 50 mailers back with my code on it. Now this made it seem that they are only going to reimburse the postage on one of my postage receipts and not all of them.

So I waited for my package. I was going to give it till tomorrow, Friday, Feb 6, 2009 which was approximately 10 days after my money was cashed.

But, today I received the package through USPS from Maxwell Enterprises. It included the flyer, envelopes, and addressed labels like promised. Thought I was short one envelope and had two extra flyers. I'm chalking that up to miscounting on their part, for now. I have envelopes in the house and just grabbed one of mine to finish off my address labels. It also contained an Instructional Manual For Mailing Special Letters and a Home Workers Agreement.

One sentence that made me feel better in the Home Workers Agreement was the following; "Every time we mail you a payment check, we will mail you a set of mailing supplies.". So, I am going to continue with the plan and send these out and hope I make some decent money at it.

Once I've received a check, I'll come back again to post another update.

So have you received your packet as of yet? Or did you get ripped off already? I got the same letter 2 weeks ago.

Hoping it's not a scam.

I sent in my $49 on Saturday, January 24, 2009 because I couldn't find any conclusive bad reports. I checked this morning with the bank and my money order has been cashed. So, I'm hoping it's not a scam and I receive contact back from the company within the 7 day promise made in the letter.

I'll update here next week with any new information I have.

It never fails that comments such as these are made by those who have never seen, or used our materials. The fact is Maxwell Scott is the ONLY business in this industry who is NOT a Pyramid scheme, and NOT an Advanced Fee scheme. On top of that, our participants DO make money and paychecks are mailed weekly. One example.....a lady in AL who started with us two months ago with a total investment of $99. Today, just 8 weeks later, she has already received over $400 in checks. What we sell, unlike almost every other company in this industry, is REAL. So maybe all of you can find a more productive way to spend your time than spewing drivel on something you know nothing about.

I've also received the offer from this company. I wread some one would try it at the base level .49.00 for 49 letters. I would really like to get the results of that.I even thought.of doing that but if its a scam i dont want to just give up the money.also unclear if that was a one time fee or not my letter was really unclear.

Received same Maxwell Scott letter

I have also received this letter but can not find out any info.

This letter has several income groups to choose from: ie
Group #1 - Fee is $49 and you get 49 letters, 49 envelopes, 49 labels.
They will pay you $10 for every letter stuffed, labeled and mailed - IF THEY RECEIVE THESE 49 Letters back (from the people you mailed them to) then
Earn $490

Looks like the more envelopes, letters and labels you order the cheaper the cost to you, and you still get $10 each when returned to them.

Paying options when ordering is CASH, Money Order, Check
If you send MO or CASH your letters are sent within 7days after the money is deposited into their account. Orders by check are shipped after the check clears the bank.

A couple questions to ask

Mon, December 22, 2008

First of all I don't know anything about this company but a couple question occur to me right away.

Why would they mail you letters for you to mail to someone else and give you $10.00 apiece for them. You haven't explained what value they are getting out of this.

Unless there is a lot more to this business than just what you said here I would tend to not believe it.

If it's all true, I want to join.

Envelope Stuffing - OLDEST SCAM OUT THERE

Its been around for a very long time - and its always been a ripoff.

The Federal Trade Commission Website has it on it lists for scams to avoid which include medical building and crafts

BBB: Report as of today December 21, 2008 on Maxwell Scott Enterprises

#41Consumer Comment

Mon, December 22, 2008

Maxwell Scott Enterprises
275 Route 10 E Ste 220 # 124
Succasunna, NJ 07876-1346

4 complaints
All 4 were RESOLVED "By the Company"

PLUS: BBB Investigation turned up further info on this Company as follows:

This company offers franchise service.

Apparently BBB spoke to someone in the Company or received this info from some legitimate source to post it as a (matter of fact).

However; I do wonder about why (NO Phone Number) for Customer Service?

Seems lots of people are asking about this Company, but no one has any "personal experience" with this Company, other than questions and rebuttals,.....SO

I'm thinking about sending in the Application Fee for (Income Group #1), which is $49.00, (the lowest Group to start with), to see if the Starter Materials arrive with a (Customer Service Number).

One might argue that if the BBB reports 4 complaint... and 4 Resolved by the Company itself... that this company may not be a scam. It is certainly probable that the BBB sent correspondence to this Company via Snail mail, and received response and resolution for the 4 complains as a result.

Answering complaints from the BBB and Resolving them, may simply be strategy on the part of a con that's making a lot of money ripping people off. Why wouldn't a con artist use strategy to keep the money coming in... isn't that what they do?

Another factor here to look at... the BBB reports this Business opened in 1998 and the BBB only reports 4 complaints over the past 36 months (3 years), this is a very low number. Of course this is also contingent upon the size of the business i,e., dependent upon how many reps/workers this company has? Nevertheless... 4 complaints is still a very low number and resolved by the Company itself; signifies that this Company will resolve issue's if you use the BBB to attempt to resolve. Obviously you should attempt to resolve directly yourself if possible first and use BBB as a last resort.

I will post (if) and (when) I mail out the $49 with the application; and follow up with posts as appropriated through out the process.

One last thing.... when I used Google to search for Maxwell Scott, it did bring up ONE link regarding (weather or not) Maxwell Scott was a scam? In that post; a person spoke of receiving the letter in the mail, and how there was NO Customer Service Number?

Regardless, Prior to mailing $49 I certainly am going to use a couple more scam sites that I use.. and run a check on this company with them as well.

The Google search on (Maxwell Scott) also turned up a lot of posts on (Scott Maxwell) NOTICE the exchange from first to last name... I did find this a little suspicious, however if you search your own name in people searches on-line... you'll find lots of "you" across the US with different ages and living in different States. So, this is not enough to base anything on in my opinion.

I would be inclined to find out more about the franchise service this company is offering... certainly this "could" shed some light on the Maxwell Scott Enterprise.

Never loose site of this statement "If it sounds to good to be true... it probably is"

People are simply so eager and desperate to find that (one easy money making opportunity)... that they over look the most important elements. ALWAYS Check with BBB and Scam sites "FIRST" Prior to sending money to anyone.
