Complaint Review: United Sales & Book Publishing

Hello,
My husband recieved a flyer from this United Sales & Book Publishing Co. with the promises of making up $2900 weekly if he sent them a fee, he'd receive all of the necessary materials to start his own home business. When he told me about it, I did not want to crush his hope of making things better for the household, however, I strongly suggested that he check the company out first. He did not listen.

He sent them a money order for $139.00 in February and was supposed to recieve materials in 7 business days. After a month, nothing happened. I located the better business bureau for N. Miami, Fl, which is also my suggestion to all of you that have been ripped off by these people.

Call information for the number. I learned from them that the company had a bad report. I went a step further and went to the BBB website to formally file a complaint against this company and let me tell you, it works. They had not sent my husbands package after a month and we wanted that money back. We did recieve a check (handwritten), which lacks in professionalism), for the full amount.

Days later, we received the materials delivered by UPS. Once it was received, my husband was happy again, and wanted to send the initial payment back. I was against it. I did, however, write to this company letting them know that the package was received.

I refused to send the money back, because I still believe they are a fraud. The stamps that were supposed to come in the package did not. My husband then purchased stamps to mail the envelopes and had to send them a receipt as proof of payment for them and we were supposed to be reimbursed for them as well.

Nothing has happened yet. It looks like I will be contacting the better business bureau again to be reimbursed for stamps totalling $111.00. If you all want to get your money file those complaints to www.bbb.com for N. Miami.
