Back in 1995-96, I saw a Don Lapre infomercial. And I was suckered into buying the 1-900 numbers. I did what he said-place ads in small newspapers across the country. After 8 ads, I was out about about $600 just in advertising, and not 1 call. And I had given him another $600 for the #s. After $1,200, i stopped and took it as a lesson learned. Then a few months later, I fell for his National Reminder Service scam. He suggested getting people to sell for you and give them a percentage. He also suggested looking for employees with an ad like "Make over $100 a day" But the papers wouldn't even accept that kind of ad-they said it was too vague. So a friend and I tried to sell the service to many, many people. About all we got from them was a laugh. I realized most people are not going to buy crap like that-Reminder Service and pay $3 a minute for some stupid 1-900 call. He's right about being a millionaire-by making $$$ off of stupid people like me. One of the biggest scammers I've ever seen.

I have also filed an official claim with the Attorney General of Arizona. It was forwarded to the Postal Inspectors in Az. who requested I send every detail of the business transactions with WGV to them including dates, time, names, phone#s, purchase receipts, what was said or promised by who and etc. I don't think the Postal Inspectors can do nothing to return our money. I was requesting a Class Action Attorney referral. If any one have a Class Action in progress, please let me know templesheba at aim dot com as soon as possible. I think a company called Amazing Internet Riches System in Van Nuys, Ca. is the new name for the WGV as they have called me and stated I was referred to them by WGV and attempted to get a chunk of money from me but I just hung-up. I'm already scammed $6,810.95 and don't need to be suckered by the same group again. Charles - Irvington, NJ

I called Monday, Sept. 3, 2007 to check on my $6,810.95 refund to find not one phone number in the complete company is operational. You get an operator's message that says "THIS DEBIT CARD HAS NOT BEEN ACTIVATED" and hang-up. You get this same message on all numbers. The Greatest Vitamin In The World is gone, it's not operating anymore. Our money is lost forever. I researched and found a few other phone numbers. Only one had Don Lapre's recorded message: "WE WILL HAVE A BRAND NEW PROGRAM UP AND LIVE BY MONDAY MORNING" no date for that monday morning he's speaking of, and for me, that's been 2 mondays ago and nothing yet. A Lier can't stop lieing. I will be filing a claim with Arizona Attorney General and BBB. Charles Irvington, NJ
