Save Avenue Rip-Off Artist Extrodiaire SCOTTSDALE Arizona
I have been looking for an genuine, bonafied, honest Home Internet business for the past 5 years. I came acrossed "Save avenue" about 21/2 years ago and they shot me a good line and that it was going to be turn key and all I would have to do is let them sell products for me and rake in the money each month in this painless process, and that I would be making a six figure income within a year. All I had to do was invest in my business up front and watch the money role in.
I was really hesitant but the old trick of passing you from the nice warm sales rep. to the high pressure, squeeze expert paid them out in the long run. I have been reading the rip- Off report and my heart goes out to you that have lost money to them because my wife and I have been taken to the cleaners by them also. We lost about $10,000.00 to this scam of all scams and these people are criminal in the way they treat you after the fact. In 2 1/2 years we have made $250.00 after calling them over and over and over again.
They pay a good game of intentional phone tag with you, and no one that can help you is in the office when you call but when we would call right back we would get some one that was all sugar and honey and when they get through with you it is all sour milk, because they are always say, " we are going to try something new and never tell you what it is and it is always the " be patient " and assurance that there will be a better way, but these scammers just try to keep you about a foot away from the carrot.
Two and a half years for $250.00. If there is a class action suit I'm in also. I like a ton of other people have a sad story about loosing my retirement in the stock market which blew 6 months before Clinton left office, but it would do no good to cry over spilled milk, yet I went $10,000.00 in debt to start what I was scammed into believeing was a ligitimate Internet Business and was taken like a gutted fish by these scoundrels. I hold an Insurance license in my State and if I were to conduct business like these thieves I would be run off like a snake oil salesman and not just that but fined and possibly put into prison, where these people ought to be right now. I don't understand why the State of Arizona allows these slugs to do this to honest people trying to make an honest entrenural effort.

We appreciate the chance to respond to this members complaint, In reading the original complaint verses the rebuttles by both parties, it seems that we have a case of over exagerating, We never tell anyone that anyone is going to make 6 figures a month as we are not fortune tellers nor can we guarantee anyone will make sales, and truly in my opinion, if this is even in fact what you thought you heard, why would'nt you find that odd?, all the years I have been in this business the one thing that sticks with me, if anyone ever guaranteed me or named a figure that as you claim is suppose to be 6 figures monthly, I would'nt give them anything I would run.
Sir, lets be realistic here, you generated commissions from sales generated off of your site, you should have been honest from the beginning, due to the fact that you failed to leave out the fact that you made more than your original fabrication statement, I find your claims and accusations to be both slanderous as well as fraudulant, as we have thousands upon thousands of clients and we have found those who are proactive and not just interested in a get rich quick scheme over night are the ones most likely to be sucessfull.
In verifying our records you have made $936.73 in commissions and most of your finances went to your bad judgement in the stock market.
#3775 for the amount of $350.41
#4261 for the amount of $254.61
#5414 for the amount of $190.48
and the last one was issued 9/3/07 $141.23
For a whopping total of $936.73
You chose to stop working your business 12/7/07
Good luck to you sir, as we wish you the best in your ventures, and would appreciate if you would stop slandering our company for your misfortune.

I would like to thank the rebuttalist of the Simmons report that said; they had a reliable source that I had been paid a total of $936.73 from the "rip-off" company called "Save Ave.". I would like to submit a partial retraction/correction to my original report. Save Ave. has paid me $795.50.
After getting back in my records I have the scan copies of the checks to verify from. I must still maintain though that they are still a major rip-off company, being that we invested close to $10,000.00 and since 2005 this $795.00 is all we have received from them in total, and nothing from the year 2006 until now. I believe that comes close to knocking a hole in about two (2) years.
I was told at the time I invested this $10,000.00 or approximately $9700.00 which sure knocks a hole in $10,000.00, that I would be making enough from this "turn key' business, that within three (3) months it would be paying for itself and soon after that I would be climbing up towards approximately $ 3,000.00 to $5,000.00 per month, and then the sky was the limit.
It has been about three years now and they have basically sucked up about $8900.00 of which I had to go into debt for and am still paying on. My sincere recommendation to any one that is contemplating doing business with this dead horse debt scam excuse of a home business, that they check out the Better business Bureau in Phoenix Az. and please, PLEEEEEEZ read every article here in the "Ripoff Report".
Please for your financial sake, do not do business with them. they lie, they misrepresent, they deceive, and then they cut your financial ham strings, and let you hobble for years financially while they laugh all the way to the proverbial bank. That is what they have done to me and many others that you will read about in "Ripoff Report". The only way they could reconcile is to give me the $8900.00 they fleeced from me, but like most scams, they really don't care after they have their greedy hands on your money. "If there is smoke there is fire" in this case it is a fire storm. ----- Steve in Ar.
