Complaint Review: PMI Coaching - Professional Consulting Services/Internet Development Inc.

I watched an infomercial late one night on t.v. for Dave Espino's Auctions on line on E-Bay. He was selling 5 books on how to start your business on E-Bay...plus he would send you his latest book....Beyond E-bay....which was about setting up your own web page. I ordered the books and about a week later received a phone call about starting my own business on the internet. First a man called me from Idaho Falls, ID and was very friendly and gave me a pretty good sales pitch...then he had another man call me from Utah. He was very persuasive and really fooled me...and he told me that if I wanted to be a success and really make lots of money they could show me how...but...I had to agree to sign up right now because they were limited on their coaches. He then told me what they had to offer....gave me his 800 number, his E-mail address and proceeded to ask for my credit card number. He said the whole thing would cost $6,999.00......I should have known then that it was a rip-off deal...but these guys were so friendly and acted like they really wanted to help me be a success. I had to charge the amount on two credit cards. I should have realized something was not right because I talked to about four different men before they set me up with Dennis Wright..who told me I could call him anytime..he was there to help me....Also...he would call in a couple of days with some bank names where I could get a lower interest rate on my cards that I charged the money to. To make a long story short...no one called about the bank cards..and it was very difficult to ever get anyone to talk to..when I did...they were h*o hum...we will get someone back to you...the coaching sessions (only had two) were a joke. I thought (or perceived I guess) that they would set up the web page...they would give me information on products, wholesalers, dropshippers, etc. ha I had to spend more money to get a drop shippers list and more money to get some worthless information on what products were the most popular.....then I discovered that the dropshipper I chose did not have the product I was interested in! Before my 30 days was up from charging all this money I called Dennis Wright and told him I was cancelling....he said well they would keep 15% of my money...for what I asked...for the coaching he said...oh so you are charging me $1,500.00 for two 30 minute worthless so-called coaching sessions...he was not very nice! I have contacted my credit card companies...they contacted him and finally one card was paid back for $3,400.00 but they have not refunded the other card for $3,500.00. I am a widow living on a small income..which I told them in them beginning...and oh they were so caring and wanted to help me. Well I have sent letters to the Better Business Bureaus in their towns and I am going to get a lawyer if I have to. By the way.... I am sure that StoresOnline is the same outfit just using a different company name...because they are using PMI Coaching and Links 4 Trade also. Carol Nyssa, Oregon
