Mortgage And Buying Solutions DECEIVERS ALL Phoenix Arizona
I was contacted by a Victor Cook who said MABS was a great way to make money from home. I told him I was 72 and pretty much homebound but he said that didn't matter. I talked with him for a long time and asked a lot of questions that he answered satisfactority. Too bad I didn't realize that he would say anything but that only what he said on their "audio" recording counted, according to them.
Victor told me I could try their program for 30 days and if I wasn't happy with it they would give me refund of my $200. He said when I received my welcome package I would realize what a great deal this was. He didn't tell me they charge $19.95 for the package, which is only 2 small manuals and 3 sheets of contract papers to sign.
When the "welcome package" arrived I read that they only will give a refund AFTER one year and that is IF you can prove you have done extensive advertising and not made enough to pay back your investment.
I immediately called and talked to a Danny (woman) telling her I wanted to cancel and demanded they credit the $200 back to my Discover Card. She tried to sweet talk me into staying with them but I told her "no" that I realized now I'd been scammed and I wanted out.
When she didn't call back (as she said she would) I called and left messages. After several days another person called and told me that they had me agreeing on the audio and that I could not get my money back for one year.
I told him what Victor had said but he insisted that only what was on the audio counted. I told him I wanted to hear the audio and he said he would call me on Friday at 11 AM so I could hear it. I told him I had begun a dispute with my credit card but that didn't faze him. He said when they heard the audio they would side with MABS.
This "company" is nothing but a scam deal and I hope others will NOT enter into any agreements with them.

I have also been burned by this company. I wrote a rebuttal on here a few months ago, but it is no longer on here for some reason.
I never got the website they promised--just kept trying to sell me UPGRADES. Initially, they said the forst $200 was all I would need to do run the business. But later they said that it would not work without their upgrades. It has taken me months to work that one out. Still not final. But, after I had a bad experience with the upgrade, I realized that it was not a reputable company to work with and why should I pay monthly rental on the website, if it would not work. Therfore, sicne I still did not get my website (2 months later, I complained to credit card. They just believed the company when they said the website was "up and running." It was not a website--only a few numbers and "redirect to parent website." Customers were unable to reach the website. I could say a lot more, but I will have to find my other post and add more later.
TO ALL OTHERS PLEASE NOTE: According to Arizona State Law (this company's home base), they are bound by the 3-day cooling off period LAW. That is, you have a right to cancel a contract made over the telephone (even though you did not sign papers--they will claim it is a verbal contract over the phone--but they selectively record parts of the conversation). If you send a certified letter within the 3 days, it should be covered under this law. Just verify specifically the requirements.
This is info from the Arizona Attorney General's Office. According to Arizona State Law "Telephone solicitation sales (three business days from delivery - A.R.S. 44-1276(C) and (D)) "
