Complaint Review: Don Gillette - Internet

I signed up for Lead Net Pro with Don Gillette and also signed up for his lead generator service.  I told him I was leaving town in 2 weeks and if I would get charged when I was gone. He said no way we don't do that kind of business. I then sent a Skype to Ingry his assistant.

[2/18/2011 2:47:07 PM] : Hi Ingry, I am leaving for Europe for 10 days Donals said it was Ok to put my calls on hold for the time I am gone and pick back up when I get back



When I got back I decided I wasn't going to continue with the system and sent a cancellation letter to him.

I would like to cancel the lead net pro advertising services for now.

Do not draft $50 per week from my card until further notice.

Thank You!

I then got 3 drafts to my account.

totaling $150

I sent an email to Don asking him to reverse the charges since I had canceled with more than a week left of credit. I also reminded him of my verbal agreement we had made to hold my account when I was gone.

I got this arrogant message back:



I have 400 people in my group; it is impossible for me  to keep track of any 'verbal agreements' that people say they made with me.  This is why I only adhere to what is in writing.

The charge was made on the 2nd and you cancelled on the 3rd.  The charge stands.

Don

Don will tell you whatever he needs to to get your money and then when he has the money he obviously doesn't care.

He refunded 2 charges because I can prove that I sent him the email. He wouldn't refund the one he ran the day before my cancellation letter because I can't prove he told me he would put the account on hold. Get everything in writing!!

Besides he is marketing a business in the job section on craigslist, that wont go on much longer once craigslist gets more complaints. And then it gets tougher to sell the system.

He also lies in his presentation about how the system works. And how much it cost to broadcast the calls.

The leads he pulls for foreclosures are a joke. There are ways to make money with Lead net pro but Don Gillette is a liar and a cheat.

For me I realize why I don't like his methods. It is tricking people that we have a job when all it is is a business. I don't want to do something that tricks people to call me and then try to get their money.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!

HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:

Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: “we could not do anything for you” or “you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days”.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.

CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD

If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.

Remember… Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.

And good luck… Let us know how you do!
