Complaint Review: Winning Deal - Brooke St. John - Robert Croteau

This website makes incredible claims. It claims that if you invest $29 with them you will get $290 back in 7 days. If you invest $100 you will get back $1,000 in 7 days. At the very least you will get back 4 times your investment. They claim to work with 145 MLM companies.

On March 27th I send an email to the company voicing my concerns. I was concerned because there was no forum I could go to seeing if people were really getting paid. A Robert Croteau emailed me within 5 minutes and told me his company had been around since October of 2001 and it was very stable. He said that a Brooke St. John who is a licensed stock broker and investment guru owned the company and my investment would be very secure. He even went so far as to tell me that 20/20 was doing a story on Winning Deal and it would be aired in 3 weeks. I never saw any such story.

On April 5th I invested $29 via Q-check. The check was printed that same day and cashed the following Friday. I tried emailing the company several times to try and find out when I would be paid and by what method. I got no response. On Friday April 16th I finally did get a response. Brooke St. John emailed me and assured me that my check was to clear that day and that my investment went really well.

As of today April 21st I have received no payment. Nor have I received a response to my emails. $29 isn't that much money to lose, but I do know of people who invested much more. I just don't want more people getting robbed from these people.
