Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
"Biz Global Media" AKA "Biz Calling Cards" AKA "Ad Calls" is a complete scam and the owners Al Krauza and Jim Ferris AKA (Alot of different names) will take your money and RIP YOU OFF. I can show 100's of complaints and letters of people that they have ripped off. They are in the process of getting sued from MANY people. Do not be fooled by all of the lies that they will tell you from "Patent Pending" to "Stock Options" or any other lie that they will tell you in order to get you to sign up and take your money. They will also continue to take your money even after you have cancelled!

DO NOT BELIEVE what they tell you.. You can search the BBB and you will also find complaints there for the previous business names used!
AD CALLS
BIZ CALLING CARDS
BIZ MOBILE MARKETING
and now  BIZ GLOBAL MEDIA!

I am definitely Ripping Mad at how someone can "Steal Other Peoples's Dreams" because they may have had a bad experience.

I just thank God that I had the sense to check out the company and owners before making a judgment based on a disgruntled Rep comments.  When I first heard about BIZ, I personally tested the 82222 product and it was the most unique thing I ever experienced.  Then I asked a few of my friends what they thought about it, and I got an equally excited reaction.

Then, I personally went to the BIZ Corporate Office in Irvine CA and interviewed both Al Krauza and Jim Ferras.  Both of these gentlemen were totally open to me about the development of the company and the product.  I found their answers to be totally detailed and complete. 

Finally, I spoke to several of the Agency Owners who are currently involved with BIZ and I could not be more excited to hear a refreshing description of what is happening with the company.  For once I heard the the Product works great, the compansation plan is very profitable and above all THEY ARE GETTING PAID ON TIME....DAILY.

This was enough for me.... I joined BIZ 60 days ago, and 2 weeks after I joined I started receiving commissions and have had commissions put on my Cash Card on almost a daily basis.

So my advice to anyone considering joining this company, check it out for yourself, try the product, look at the compansation plan and talk to the Agency Owners.  You will find them to be totally positive..... DON'T LISTEN TO SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO STEAL YOUR DREAM because of a bad experience.

PS I joined for $295 and got my money back in 3 Days with only 6 Agency Owners in my Organization

I know many people in networking have gripes with the company and/or company owners for any number of reasons and that is why I am responding to the gripe paragraph at the top of this category.


After reading that gripe, I investigated the company, the product, the compensation plan and personally spoke with Al Krauza and Jim Ferras.  That was almost 3 months ago.  And based on my personal findings, and feelings I joined BIZ Global Media as an Agency Owner.  The Best Move of My unsuccessful MLM career.

Since joining this company, I have not once been disappointed.  The Text Messaging product (82222) works perfectly every time and it a pleasure to present.  Certainly better than stocking an inventory of juice.  The Compensation plan is not only great but I have been getting paid on my Global Cash Card almost every day.  I already reached the level of Manager and on my way to Vice President.  And BIZ had not missed a single commission.  They pay daily.

Finally, regarding the personal assault on Al Krauza and Jim Ferras. (Oh about the name stuff, I did find out that Jim has a Russian name that is so long and hard to pronounce that he uses Ferras for business.. He is not hiding anything, and I don;t think it is fair to accuse someone of something you don't know anything about)  I have never seen owners of a company work so hard and closely with the field than Al and Jim.  They really listen and mostly, they really care. And I spoke to several Agency Owners who have worked with Al and Jim for over 4 years, and they are still with the company and very supportive.

So I hope if you are thinking about joining BIZ Global Media and linked into thie RipOff Reprt article, that you had the diligence to read all the articles, not only the first negative gripe. As I don't want you to make the mistake I almost did, and only read the first negative and decide not to join. 

I finally found a company that makes sense with a product that makes sense and pays on time. and for once, I lucked out on the timing.

I make decisions on my personal experiences, but if you really want to know about the company or the management, talk to an Agency Owner that is in BIZ now.  You will get the real story on how the company is progressing, and I am sure that you will find most Agency Owners happy they made the decision to join Biz Global Media

BIZ Global Media DID NOT scam me

After testing the Biz Global Media text messaging product, I was very excited, but because of the MLM Industry and the many companies that have failed, I had to do some due dilligence on the company and owners before I joined. 

Even thought it was only $49 to become an Agent, I did not want to waste my time on a company that would close up on me.  Living in California, I even went down to the coporate office in Irvine, and met with the owners, Jim Ferras and Al Krauza, as well as some of the leaders who happened to be having a meeting at the time.

Not only was myinvestigation satisfied that this company was on the right track, but the credibility of the individuals now involved really sold me.  I am not an Agency Owner, 3 weeks old, and I am already in the Black.  I got my investmenht back ($49 Big Deal, but made over $500 .. that is a big deal)

I also did a deeper investigation into some of the name calling I found online, and wanted to share some of this information with you.  It seems that when you are in business, you are definitely a target.

Here are some of the other allogations I found on the RipOff Report So please read them and remember, there are 2 sides to every story.

Never met Jim and Al since we live on east coast. I currently belong to 4 other MLM companies including Biz global media because I simply won't put "all my eggs in one basket". I joined BIZ CALLING CARDS in January 09 for $295. My combined income from all MLM companies last year was $8,456. After doing some math, me and my husband realized that approximately 80% of our MLM income was generated by biz. I don't care how we look at it, we invested $295 and got back over $6k from BIZ from a little work on the phone. I'll take that to the bank any day. 

P.S. Just got my new BIZ master card last week and was just loaded with $400 yesterday. My husband is happier than I am that I'm finally making some money after filling up our garage with every juice type on the plant :)

THANK YOU JIM & AL

My Name is Bill W. and a lot of you guys know me from Adcalls days. I joined this company as did a few of my friends in Nov 07 for $495 which got us our own private label dialer. You guys know what I'm talking about! I liked the retail side of it and sold the concept to a friend of mine is Dallas who owns a Subway franchise. The system worked fine and I never heard him complains. When Jim and Al announced the company changing to the biz calling free cards concept, i got excited and so did my subway friend. He ordered his $5 free calling cards and got them within 2 weeks. He has been using this advertising method for 2 years now and is having the best ROI from any other advertising he's ever used. These are his words exactly. Meanwhile, I sponsored 9 people into BIZ and earned over $14200 in the past 2 years with the old binary plan. I am really excited now to see the company moving to the text message advertising. These guys are really smart and good with the reps...really!
I met Jim Ferris and Al Krauza in person and saw first hand their million dollar data facility with all the servers. In-fact, they were running the Saturday meetings in that building and doing tours afterward for all of us. My background is computer science and i know a few things about hardware and software development. I believe these guys did do their homework and build a good product. The new company direction in text advertising is really cleaver and even my subway friend just joined as a rep. I trust these guys and really feel that they have the best intention at heart.
With these guys for the long haul.
Bill W.

Sorry to hear about your issues.

I have been in networking for over 5 yeas now and love it. Whenever I see posts like this with no details of your personal issues and just random heresay's, really makes me weary of truth.

There is so much non-sense posted on the web about every MLM owners, uplines without real details or merits that really makes me irk. I truly hope your wrong about these guys. All I know is this, I came in for $295 in November 09 and signed up 3 new reps and 1 drycleaner. The 3 reps that I sponsored are doing well and got paid more than they ever made with our previous mlm ventures together (including monvia, herbalife and pre-paid). I actually earned $1400 in past 3 months.

I see my dry cleaner guy once a week and he is very happy with is system. I simply don't see how anyone can get hurt.. I was just notifed that they now lowered the entry fee to $50. Why would they do that if they are trying to rip anyone off. I never met jim or al personally but heard them on conf calls and i am comfortable with my position and earned income. Anytime i can turn a $295 into $1400 is good business with happy clients and reps. I can tell you this... i lost a tone of money and time with monavie and never made over $200 total in 5 months. So.. i'm game with these guys. Actually, very excited about new lower fees.

God Bless. CL

PS, after seeing your article, I contact BIZ and asked if I can speak with their attorny about any lawsuites etc... I was assured by him that they have no legal issues or lawsuites at all against the company or owners. 
As long as my commission checks are coming ( over $800 a month now), I'm in it for the long haul.  What do I have to lose?  The product works and getting paid.  Much more than I can say about few past MLM deals I was in.
