We also provide unparalleled service experiences, so we have a customer care and support team. In addition to that we can assist business with expanding their customer base."

Leads for Allen Marketing Group are primarily obtained through recurring advertising efforts as well as referrals from other satisfied customers. Mr. Allen proceeded to explain the sales and services process for potential clients, "just as you would buy something off a shelf at the store one can pick up the phone and give us a ring and a consultant would be on the other end of the line going over any products or promotions in which you may be interested in as a customer and if you are calling in for service related matters they would connect you with our business related matters team who would determine the individual needs of your business and how we can provide one of our many services to help them grow...over the years we have found great success in leveraging technology to market across social media and digital platforms. So, the same theory applies an individual may see our ad, flyer, product, or promotion and may have received it through the mail or through email and they can respond to it and engage in it that way."

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allen marketing group AMG Cedar city Utah

 AMG-Allen Marketing Group provides a customer service telephone number (866-551-0868) . I called speaking with Shawnee on multiple occasions continually only quoting processes. My complaint was after I went to the preview as a single woman made more than 80,000 and showed a major credit card it was clear I qualified as required for this preview.

I sat thru the preview and finished getting my thank you gifts. Two days later I was charged 300 dollars for non qualifying. I called to get an explanation this morning assuming it was an error. That is not what happened! They verbally told me that I checked marked married then crossed it off then checked single (first change to my form that I did not do)., I am single and would know that. Then she proceeds to say I check marked a box for making up to 50,000 dollars a year. I never did that (2nd falsification).

I explained that the young lady behind the counter reached over the counter and asked me to put my monthly income cause it doesn't ask for that so I did. As it turned out I finally got to speak to a supervisor, Carissa. She was and did not listen to any logical reason to why any of that made any sense. Why would I do all that to sabotage myself? I repeatedly asked for a copy of the form and was denied it. Either to prove them righ or wrong. All she did was quote policy and offer me to attend another presentation and then they would refund the charge.. Another trip to Las Vegas, how did that make any financial sense? It clearly states in the documents they sent me via email: "what else do I need to know" complimentary gifting will only be given after you have attended the presentation and have qualified based on the terms of the offer." I was given the gifting as I was qualified!

Carissa the supervisor would not listen to any reason nor did she offer to look into the matter of the fraudulent activity obviously done at the presentation or by them at a later time. All she cared about was offering the refund once I attended another presentation.. I did over communicate the point and got nowhere. Non sympathetic and basically I was the liar when I have proof of all the requirements!! Such a scam!! Very disappointing and really just want my 300 dollars back! I told her I would be contacting my bank and she stated they would just provide the document (the document that they changed) and I had asked for a copy which she refused to give but the bank could have it.. hmm?? More discrepancies with how they run the business! Definitely not there for the customer! They just want to squeeze every dollar they can! Do not use AMG (Allen Marketing Grouo)! You will be disappointed!

Allen marketing group says they are making this right by refunding the $300.00

 AMG has responded to my complaint and are willing to refund my $300.00. All I ever asked was to look at all reasonable reasons why this should not have happened. It appears that they have done that! This experience with AMG was not so pleasant as I reported earlier in reference to the additional funds being taken out of my account. The presentation was interesting and I left there thinking when I am ready I was going to try again. Even telling friends about it. I do realize being in management myself that you are only as good as all the employees, and sometimes people in charge need some extra training or maybe even a fresh look at the processes in place. I am hoping that they will look into what happened to me and take care of that broken process. In the end they say they are returning the money. The rest is up to them to fix . Safe travels everyone and what AMG offered during their presentation was worth taking the time to learn about. Sincerely, Crescent City CA
