An ad on Craig's List directs you to a video where you are given info. on a business opp selling cash advances to retailers who pay back via their Visa/MC business. One must pay $1,488 to join, and they give a plausable reason why, which is to send out mailers with your name for printing. I got a call from a "John Green" who outlined the opportunity that paid 8% on sales, and had a montly residual as well. It sounded great..since the marketing didn't require cold calling. I had a few questions and a Paul Mandel called a we spoke briefly. That was the last time I had a chance to speak with anyone, because since I took the leap and send in my money, no call has ever been returned, despite e-mails stated I could call anytime with questions.
We are sent "training materials" which are a poor and still leave many questions. I called to find out answers..again, no return calls. Everything is voice mail. Had to take an on line test, which I passed, and I was e-mailed to start a "cold call" to find the first client. It's all bogus. These are ploys to get you off the scent. I called, e-mailed and no one returned calls or answered e-mails. When they were looking for the $1,488..they did. After that, they are gone. One of the key questions since we are setting clients up with a new bank for payments is, WHAT BANK? None of this is in the training material, but is a key piece of missing info. Know why? If you called the bank you could find out the whole thing is bogus. My guess is the fraud kings here, who set up an elaborate sting, don't answer calls because they have several co. names and aliases, and they can't even keep track of their lies. Answering calls would expose them immediately. When I read other Rip Off Rpts., I saw people who had the same experience. After you pay, these guys (Paul Mandel...I'm sure that's a made up name) disappear. People like this are the lowest of the low. They steal your dreams as well as your money, and make you forever distrust other humans. Make sure you pursue this group of scumbags. I will. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE MONEY.
When I first checked them out, there were only two neg. complaints. Now there are many, and their BBB rating is an F. It was an elaborate con, and they put effort into this.
