My number is 3376543568. if anyone has information about a class action against A-1 leasing, startup essentials, or usa card services, PLEASE contact me!!

I recieved a call from startup essentials and was talked into buying a system that would show me how to start a business. The entire time I was told the system was free. I was never led to believe I'd be paying for anything and was told they needed me to make more sales through credit card processing.

Well, at the end of the conversation I was shown a lease contract that stated I'd be paying 125.00 plus tax every month for 48 months. I told them then that I just couldn't commit to this. Well I was given to the "senior sales associate" who talked me into believing that by getting started, I'd be driven to be successful (I'm sure everyone here has heard these lines). This went on for a good while and I finally agreed to the system. Well it turned out that they sold me a laptop, access to their "resources (including links to motivational stuff, the small business association, etc. basically the same thing I can get by googling 'small business')", and "support". I then found out that the system does nothing but show you how to sell on ebay, 1 year of webhosting, and a merchant account. They use the exact same marketing tactics as any free website. i paid for a cheap 500 dollar laptop. nothing more. I understand there is a class action lawsuit against these people. any information would be helpful.
