The Auction Training Center, Mr T. Taylor No chance of making any money. They take your $1,000 and you never get it back. fraudulent ripoff business Reno California
The Auction Training Center claims to employ you as a team member to send you out and bid on items at local auctions. If you do buy something they send you for, you "will" receive 50% of the cash after resale. You will never get sent out to bid and you never have a chance to make any money.
You fax them lists of local auctions and they decide what they want, and send you to buy it for them. They will never sent you.
To get in you must have given Mr. Tim Taylor a $1,000 money order. In their contract with you they say if you go to six auctions and still do not like the program, send back your book and proof of entry to the six auctions and they will send you your $1,000 back. I've been triing to get my money for two years. I call the direct office and get the run around. Mr. Taylor's direct phone number doesn't exist. The boys running the office give me a po box # when I ask for Mr. Taylors address. I did everything in my contract to be able to get my money back. I would like your help in any way possible.

Time's Almost Up- But Not Quite
#2Consumer Suggestion
Fri, March 22, 2002
Kevin,
Your time is almost up; you'd better act fast if you truly want your money back. Here's what you do:
1. Contact a PI and pay them to skip trace "Mr. Tim Taylor". Keep in mind this may not be a real person. The PI will tell you. It shouldn't cost you more than $100 to find the bozos. Trace your money order and give the PI that to help him...mail boxes and telephone numbers are helpful too. Even I could track down these goons, so don't let a PI gouge you.
2. Once you find the boiler room operation then you file in small claims in your local courthouse. Name the owner of the boiler room operation as the fraudster. Ask for the $1,000, the cost of the PI, court costs and a punitive reward of $500 as a punishment for the theft. Sometimes small claims judges give a little something to punish a crook.
3. If you fail to find him then send a letter to the PO Box to let them know you informing everyone possible of their scheme on the Rip-Off Report.
I hope this doesnt turn into an expensive lesson on work-at-home boiler room schemes for you.
Good Luck
