Complaint Review: StoresOnLine

First I received an Email telling how there would be a free seminar showing everyone who attended, how to start their own successful Internet business. My husband and I attended this short but persuasive meeting.

This 1st meeting was only to get us interested in the $20.00 4 hour class on how to start our own business. So we paid the $20 and went to the 4-hour class. In this class they quickly went over all the things for starting and keeping a successful internet business, information that can be obtained anywhere on the internet, but they had into to sell that no one else had.

I tried to keep notes, but most of this class consisted of a grand package that would teach everyone just how to do what they did. No one needed any computer experience, no one even needed a computer (they would help you get one), and no one needs a business on the side or a business that was already established. All any one needed was their program.

After about 3 hours of some of the most convincing information and what sounded like a good investment, we were hit with pricing. BUT they were going to make us a deal. If we were to get this package today, they would cut the costs way down.

We gave them $500.00 as a down payment, and left with a package that was sure to be the end of all our difficulties.

The package we received was difficult. The first problem, the biggest problem and the most important problem, was that we didn't have our own business or anything to sell. We couldn't afford to buy anything to add to this business neither.

Without any substantial kind of business, this package would be impossible to implement. BUT wait, these were the people who promised that I didn't need any of these things. They promised that even a beginner could run this program. I have been on the Internet, now for 2+ years. Every ounce of info that I received can be received off of the Internet for as little as $19.95 to more expensive sellers a price of $299.00, is the highest I have ever seen. I was promised that the information that they would give would have classic information, top of the line information, and guarantee information.

What I got was a 4th rate web builder (worse then any I have ever seen), and all the others with very good set-ups were less then $11.50 to Free, to use their web builders. I got a lot of info that involved a lot of research but never offered any good leads. I called their help center and was asked if I completely read all of the materials, and when I stayed yes, they told me that I should read it again, until I understand it.

The whole program is a major rip-off. They don't give what they say they give. I have seen far better programs for $39.95 to get started and $29.00 to keep it going. But on this day I was guaranteed that this program was far superior to any of those programs. They were right about one thing. They are Far Superior in the way that they lied to everyone, and convinced them that they were doing the right thing to getting their program of success.

I did how ever manage to get them to drop $1,800 of the price, but still owe too much to throw away on a business venture that cannot and will not bring any funds back to me. I have worked myself silly trying to work this program since June/03, Paid $500.00 down, made two payments of $249.00, and one payment of $149.00, and I still don't even have an up and running program.
Why? Because with all their information, there is nothing you can.

There is much, much more I can say about this. But will await on a reply from others first. By the way don't get sunk in on the PBNext phone service they supply you with. It will cost you $49.00 up front and 29.00 a month from the check you wrote them the first time. In other words they are taking money, without your permission using the first check you wrote. After we discoverd this, we manage to but a stop to their withdrawals, but couldn't get back what they already took.
