My husband and I are looking for extra income to get out of our financial stress. We received the call and spent almost two hours on the phone. They made you believe that they were a reptible company by a having a backing of a major credit card company. I did not qualify but my husband did so we went with my husband. It just seem so real and very true of being a reliable company. The lady I talked to seem real nice and had answers for everything. By the time the call ended we were hooked and over $4000.00 I debt. But I relied on get the money back in know time and by the time my second payment came around I would be up and running and would be able to cover the payments. I was totally wrong. We received a small binder and listen to the tapes and it kept saying you need to do this, buy this book get this program and so on. I tried to go back on the web site and all I get is a picture nothing else. No phone calls of support like they promise and we are totally lost from when we sign up. We fell for a non breaking contract and now I don't know what to do. I told the lady that we did not have the money invest but she convinced me that it would be there don't worry. It was like you either sign up right there and than or loose out on the deal all together. I was a sucker for the deal because I need extra income so bad right now and fell right into the trap. I deceided to go on the BBB web site to find out more about the company and boy this company has a bad rap all the way around and now I don't know what to do how can afford to keep paying for a company that is fraud. I have contacted the BBB and now my bank to see what I can do. But the no break contract may be a problem. But what ever you do don't buy this product because all you will do is get ripped off and no way out.

I would like to fill in everyone on are update with A-1 startup company. Since last filling I have contacted the BBB and never heard back from them on the matter. I have sent letters to A-1 company and have now gotten my bank involved with the matter. We have stopped payment from A-1 taken any more money out of our account. We have threaten them in changing our bank account and they would never be able to take any money out of our account again.

They have replied that they are not associated with the startup company that they have provided the money up front and we owe it. I have now a collection letter in my hands that we have received Friday. I am looking to getting an attorney but right now we just don't have the money. I am filling a report now with SEC and see if they can help us and with all the help other people have provided I will follow up on filling with those company.

Thank-you so much for everyone advice. Between everyone maybe we can shut down this company from keeping anyone else going through the night mare that we have all faced.
