StoresOnLine 745 consumer fraud ripoff, they sold a package containing late 90' info. Expected more up to date information. Deceptive company Orem Utah
I received a notice in the mail about how to make money on the internet. Went to the first meeting for the presentation and dinner? ( children have better box lunches).
I was still curious and paid the $20.00 for the full presentation. Went and it was rush rush. Every time someone would ask a question they would be evasive. They used the term "you will find more in the package".
In the course of the pitch someone would come up and say you have been approved for a loan. I asked how? I haven't worked in three years! They then took my wife and I in the back and went through the whole thing again.
I thought I'd give it a try and said yes. She completed the paperwork and said I needed six websites. I only wanted three. To make a long story short, I bought it (only three) for $4,000 (USD). Took it home looked at it and there was really nothing in there that was current.
Had news articles from the late 90's. Here it is 2003 and they sold me outdated material. I explained that to the loan company. They said if I don't pay it will ruin credit. What credit? I'm unemployed! Only shelled out $399. As with everyone else I sent it back and it was returned.
Then I get an E-mail that says I could not get through because they have been having problems with their computers. As of now I am pursuing this through sending letters out. They made one big mistake in comimg to a military town. Bad news travels fast among us who have served or who are still serving. We take care of our own.
So with the VFW and American Legion, we all have friends in different cities and states. And they have friends. This is one way I am pursuing this. The other is through any govenment office that will hear me. So to all of you. Spread the word around.
Remember "loose lips sink ships". Are you ready to take them on? Notify all friends and relatives that you can think of be it where ever they may be. And don't give up.
By the way, if you did receive your invitation in the mail contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at usps.gov/postalinspectors or you can write them at 475 L Enfant Plaza SW Washington D.C., 20260. And fax anyone you can.

My husband and I attended a seminar in Lanham, MD. We had lunch and were told to attend and second seminar for the additional information and bring a friend. The second seminar, which was held in Rockville, MD, cost $20 and you get back $10 at the seminar. We had lunch, which was very tasty. We listened to several speakers explaining the business, heard testimonies of success stories, and how profitable joint ventures would be for this type of business. I thought this was a good idea because of the joint ventures, and purchased six storefronts for $5199.
After approaching several businesses, and being rejected because they felt it was not profitable for them. I did some investigation and found out that they could purchase a website for a lot less and not share any of their profits (this included marketing the company and being listed with search engines).
The sole reason for purchasing StoresOline was for the joint ventures. I have now realized that storesoline, deceived me about the advantages and profits that could be made from joint ventures. StoresOline told us you did not have to be a business type person to do the joint ventures and that you could be successful.
The stories they told about the joint ventures were fairy tales and not reality.
THEY LIED, LIED, LIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
