While playing a game I seen a video for Family Proection Association (fpa). Their scam is you try out equipment for free and only pay shipping. I ordered 3 firestarters.

Item Ordered: 3 FREE Everstrykes (Postage only)

Order date: 08/17/2018

Amount: $9.95 

then it popped up another screen for a reduced price knife if I signed up for a monthly membership. The memberhsip allowed me to test better equipment and to have access to the online training, etc. I recieved the knife about 2 months later.

Item Ordered: Hoffman Richter-15 ALPHA Knife (bundled with FPA Elite membership)

Order date: 08/17/2018

Amount: $17.00

Then another window popped up and offered a gear kit for a reduced price. I purchased it as well; it was a backpack and gear kit.

Item Ordered: FPA Gear Kit

Order date: 08/17/2018

Amount: $297.00

I have yet to recieve the gear kit or the firestarters. I tried to access their web site and found that I didnt even have an account. I created an account and of course none of my purchases are tied to the account. I sent them an email on 08/22/18 askign why there was not an account under the email i used to make purchases and signed up for a monthly membership. I received a generic response email that had nothing to do with my question. When I did register on their site my account level was set to standard and did not show the "elite Member" status I purchased.

 

Thank you for your joining the Family Protection Association and becoming an "Elite" member!

Your Knife and member welcome kit is on its way.

I contacted them again on 08/23/18 and recieved what seemed to be a personal response and wa assured my items were being pulled to deliver in 4-6 weeks. I recieved nothing by October 12, 2018 and contacted them again. I was told the items were popular and more time may be needed; if I felt I had waited long enough and wanted a full refund to let them know.

If at any point you feel you've waited long enough and would prefer a refund, just let me know. Thank you so much for your patience, we are working hard to improve our service to you!

For the Safety, Security, and Success of the Family,

Sincerely,

Arianne

I contacted them again on November 21, 2018 and recieved no response. I contacted them again on December 17, 2018 and requested a full refund. I recieved no reply. I contacted them again on December 20, 2018 and received no reply. Today December 24, 2018 I left another message on their web site for a full refund.

 

Do Not deal with this company. If they are not scamming then tehy are jsut horrible at running a business. Its not worth the headache. I'm currently out $306.95 and doubt I will ever get it back from them.
