Vensure International Yes International, Online Profit Masters Violated Consumer Rights, Non Disclosure of Information, Ripped off of 3000.00, WILL NOT REFUND MONEY AFTER 3 DAYS Lehi, Utah
March 22,2012 I paid 97.00 to Online Profit Masters for information on working from home and making lots of money. I received a phone call from a woman who interviewed me. They wanted people to be their success story. If I qualified, I
would be contacted by her manager, which I was.
I was told it was an educational program and I qualified. By the next day March 23, 2012, I had signed a contract and put 399.00 as a down payment.
I was told they could finance the rest of the money (about 3000.00). I received my first coaching call and was told to buy and sell on ebay.
The next week, the coached called to see my progress, and the only thing I had done was set up a pay pal account. I was told to keep working on the list he had sent me. A couple days later, someone else called to talk with me about setting up an LLC. If I wanted to be successful, I should use their legal team which would cost me another 2275.00. If I put down 775.00 they could finance the rest. I told them no. I called the company on April 9, 2012 to cancel. I was told that I could not cancel. The contract I signed had a 3 day refund policy in which a certified letter must be sent to them within the 3 days after signing the contract. Since I did not do that and had used their product, I owe them the 3000.00. I was told that there was an option, a settlement to null the contract. I could send them 500.00 in the next 30 days. If I did not pay them, they would send me to collection. There are 3 companies involved in this scam. Yes International (who carries the contract), Vensure International and Duvera Billing. I called Duvera and they said they would bill me regardless of the unfair refund policy.
They needed Yes Intl or Vensure Intl to let them know the contract has been cancelled, which Yes is unwilling to do.
Now I get to pay a lot of money for something I didnt receive and a product that is useless, unless I am willing to spend thousands of more dollars to them.

I signed up for a program online that was supposed to help me start my online business for ($49.99), hoping I could start making money at home. Shortly after I was contacted by Jeff Jeffries from Apply Knowledge Institute saying he was aware of the purchase that I had just made and was able to help me get everything going with some coaching. I would be making money in no time!!!
Jeff told me that all I needed to was to pay start-up costs and they would do the rest ($4,800). I was then directed to sites that helped me learn more about selling more using Ebay and such websites. The sites worked fine for a little while then it stopped. I contacted Apply Knowledge and I was told that someone would contact me to walk me through fixing those issues. I was contacted by some pushy little snot named Bryan, telling me that I would need to upgrade the program and that would cost me ($1,700). A few days later I was also contacted by someone from The Tax Club informing me that I needed to have accounting help once my business was up and running. That cost me another ($2,300).
I havent spoken to a coach in months and Im sitting here trying to figure out what it is my money really went for. It certainly wasnt for ME to make money at home. It went straight into their pockets. My online business hasnt produced anything because they did not do a thing!!! I tried contacting Apply Knowledge several times hoping that I can get my money refunded back to me and to cancel with them. They informed me that I was under a contract and I could pay the full amount, which was another $2,700, or they would sue me. I told them I would be contacting the Attorney General to straighten this out and hung up. I refuse to give them any more money. They never did anything in the first place.
I did some research on Apply Knowledge aka eVertex aka 6-Figure Consulting and The Tax Club. Neither have good reputations for providing the services that they promise. THEY ARE ALL SCAM AND SCUM!!! In my research, I came across a law firm that helped me get my money back with no money up front. I spoke to this very lovely woman named Cheryl @ 319.423.7643. She really got the ball rolling and I am SO THANKFUL to her.
Moral of the story.DONT TRUST ANYONE WITH 2 FIRST NAMES(Jeff Jeffries) and certainly dont
trust Apply Knowledge Institute. They are no good and are only out to take money from people.
*****After I posted this initially, I learned that they also go by Online Profit Masters and YES International. I wanted to make sure others that are dealing with these companies have more info on them as they are ALL CROOKS!!!
