Specialty Merchandise Corporation (SMC) Fraudulent/ misleading company Simi Valley California
Steer clear of this company!!! They are money hungry leeches!!! It takes about two weeks for your "package" to show up, and once it finally does the market is so inundated with their products it is impossible to sell!!! There are also many people on ebay selling their items. If you cancel before the 30 days, you must do so in writing, and send it via snail mail. But for most, the 30 days pass far too quickly to even find out if you can sell anything. And if you have the misfortune as I to cancel after the first 30 days, you will still be responsible for paying off the entire $479.40 membership fee (or more), EVEN IF YOU HAVE NEVER USED ANY OF THEIR SERVICES!!! I cancelled just after two months, but they refused to honor my cancellation. In fact they were quite rude and told me that if I cancelled, that they would send a collection agency after me for the entire balance, and ruin my credit!!! They also still continued to withdraw funds out of my bank account!!! So I was forced to freeze my account and file fraud charges with my bank, and the police. I also filed a complaint with the BBB, but if you file a report with the BBB you are not allowed to write a review on the company for one year, so there are currently only 21 reviews on their website, and as you see on here there are quite a bit more...

I have to been rip-off by SMC. What so bad about it I thought it was a legitmate company with their misleading tv comercial. What Bull#@!. They got me. I send off for their product which took 3weeks. When i got it i call my suppossed to be my mentor coach to get me up and started and setup my website. How about I could never get incontact with my mentor. Who was schedule to call on a friday at 2p. Guess what never call me. I keep trying to get incontact for about 2 weeks. No one call me. And i contacted customer services to cancel and they said they did.How about the was still charging we monthly fee on my debit card. When I call and ask what was going on? They said I will recieve my money back which was owe to me. Well, Yesterday 6/11/08 they sent me a package with the same catologs. I had to cancel my card to make them stop. They want be touching my money no more the SOBs. And I will be sending they material back to them. Please anyone, Everyone, dont be fool by SMC, money grabbing, sucking, liars, no good backstabbers and the crap they sell no one buys!!! They rather go to the dollar store at least its better.
