I need good solid information on starting a home business, when I saw the ad for Creative Amusement Services. I spoke with Jay Gotham, franchise division. He was very informative, he offered me advise on several aspects of business. So I called a couple of other owners, that all ad good results. I figured, no way to loose as Jay promised. I sent in my $2000 franchise fee, then another $1500 for a starter kit, $300 for advertising materials and training guide. That was 5 months ago. Well to date, no pending orders or income, a total loss. Jay had since blocked my email address, so I have started looking else where for help.

Wow, terrific information Thanks so much. Who knew this was a scam? i would have not figured. i spoke to Jay Gotham for a bit, and he seemed like a good guy, very helpful. But it turned out that he was a liar also. I put in a good amount of money, almost $6,000. That is a lot of money in my life, and in my part of town. I go into this to make a little extra money, and make happy people in my area. I was not looking for a million $$, but wanted to make plates, shirts, etc for my small town. But without support, and without knowledgeable people to help me out, there was no way of succeeding here. They set this up to fail. Sad but true. I love more thatn $10,000 in this investment now, and it sucks. I am out of money, and losing my house. My community is pulling together to help me out, but I need lawyer fees. I need to sue this company. I was taken, and it is sad they can practically steal money from someone. When I request a refund, and threaten lawyers, I get nothing from CASI. They are good scammers. I promised to send everything back and not badmouth thm. Nope, they still will not help. They are not giving money back and I am stuck. Someone help me!
