Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I had gone online to shop for homebased business and left may name and phone number to various sites.many of them contacted me including globalnetwarehouse. i had just retired after working 22 years with no retirement except what i had left in my 401k. i had alot of medical problemsthat had eaten much of the 401k and what little social security gives us is not much to live on. well i was really interested in starting my own home based business and generating an income that i could do at home or on the phones.after hearing from numerous marketing people and really not familiar with internet business i stopped and listened to a rep from globalnetwarehouse explain to me it would be possible to start a business on line for $39.00. that really got my attentionand i wondered why everyone wasn't doing it. so i thought that would be fantastic and i agreed to go into business. at that point i was really excited as he explained to me that i would be contacted by my marketing coach who's name is David Green. at this point i was really proud of myself for becoming an internet businessman who would have the assistance of a marketing coach who would guide me all the way through and answer all my questions. well about a day later David Green calls and tells me everything is roses and red wine this business is just fine. and he goes on to explain that we have to attract customers to the web site, and the way we do that is to purchase from google and yahoo, the major search engines, in order for the web site to appear on their sites so people would be able to view our site. he went on to say it would cost me $10,000.00 for them to put me on google etc and that would also include the advertisements in all the big city newspapers, local ads . he went to say that he was confident he would be able to lure visitors to my site because this money of $10,000.00 would speak loud and clear and they had a good working relationship with yahoo,e-bay google,msn etc. they even were going to send out full color business cards and even colorful custom design fliers. i have made numerous calls to customer service,which i may add is comprised of one and only one individual as customer service and his name is Steve Lawrence. every single and i mean every single time he would be the one to answer. how likely is that for a business and everytime you would call you get the same person--very unlikely. but he was always very cordial and polite and seemed helpful, but nothing ever got accomplished. he would always say to me, it takes time,a long time to get set up with the search engines---just be patient. so i waited and waited and called back and asked when would the site be up. he told me it is up! then he came back and told me to check it now,and it was up then. i called back to speak with my so called coach David Green, then i was told by the infamous customer service rep Steve that he was too busy do his marketing stuff and if he was talking on the phone then he would not get his work done--just be patient i was told again. once again i called back and wanted to speak with the tech support because i was not seeing my template. was told they would call you back.i don't have to tell you no callback ever. i finally wrote a nasty e-mail to customer service and well David Green and Steve finally called back and they would check into everything and get back to me---never happened. called back again and spoke with mr green again and he gave me his personal e-mail address. well hat never worked either except on one ocassion where he told me if i have any more problems,just e-mail him direct. i advised him i was inthe business to make an income,but he also told me to be patient it may take a year. i challanged him as to just what goals he had accompolished with my $10,000.00. did he get andy advertisements in the majior newspapers, speak with anyone in google,yahoo,msn??? no reply.i e-mailed them again and advised i would go to rip-off.com and file a report--to this day which is about 6 months i still have not made not one single penny profit from my $10,000.00 investment into a a business hat should be called "i will rip you off good"i am certin that i have lost all the money and i am moving on in life. but one thing is for sure i may be 65 years old but to david greene and his partners in crime steve lawrence and that other worthless manager of marketing mike whatever, i am an italian from upstate new york and we never forget or forgive. bcnya....

News From A Grateful Client: "I Love It!!!"

#6UPDATE Employee

Thu, May 04, 2006

The following is the text from a report that was listed on December 1, 2006. ------------------------------------------------- I wish to respond to the Baxter, Tennessee resident, who believes Global Net Warehouse to be a rip off. I, too, have been subject to numerous come-on's and likely rip-offs on the Internet. The World Wide Web can be a scary place. It's sad that regulation of this world-sized communication network cannot be regulated easily, but you need to be aware that there are actually honest businesses out there, as well. I am a website owner through Global Net Warehouse, and yes, the $600 I first invested eventually became over $6,000 (which covers two full years of advertising.) Am I worried? Of course, but not about this company. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't worry about an investment of--what to them is--a large amount of money. But I am willing to take responsibility for my actions. "It takes money to make money" is an old saying, and in many cases it's true. In this case, it most assuredly is. But you also need to nurture your investment, learn from your marketing coach, use your control panel to make your website the best it can be. In other words, take advantage of all the help that's being offered. You can't leave a field fallow and expect to harvest a huge crop. Investing in advertising in any business is important. I could buy a meta tag generator and learn to use it--eventually--but that in itself is expensive and I would rather let an expert do it, this time around. And I'll let them find me the best spots on as many search engines as they can. I'm not a super techie and I'm grateful to be given a site already set up. I'm more than willing to let my company (I consider Global Net Warehouse to be my company, too) create the software engines that populate the site with product, but allows me to set the pricing, set up special sales, reduce prices on some items, raise it on others. I can change the look of my site, the style, the layout, even the photo on the first page. I've done my research, and while my prices can't beat the large discount stores on many items, (no one can, this is why Wal-Mart is running off with the world in it's fat pocket) it still is far lower than the specialty stores. I'm not going to just wait for my checks to come in, either. I'm going to make certain they are as big as I can make them. No one from GNW promised me great wealth or that I didn't need to do anything to earn my keep. It wasn't even implied. I know I will most likely need to keep my regular job, but once I have my site as I want it, it'll take no more than 15 minutes a day to make certain all is as I want it. The earnings from the site will pay off it's investment first, then I can save money. And if, after a year, I'm dissatified with what I have, my start up money will be returned and so will Chris'. A year tends to go by very quickly. That's not what I want though. I want to be the highest earning site at Global Net Warehouse, if not this year, then the next, and I'm willing to work hard for that. If Chris' advertising brought in more investors, then he has earned a commission on each. There are more ways than sales to earn money on your site. Chris needs to find out if there were any investments resulting from his flyers or mailers. They would not have invested his money that way without his agreement, which comes in writing and requires his signature. In the long run, not everyone can handle a business, sited on the web or in a mall. Maybe I won't be able to either, but it won't be from not trying. It's unfortunate that some people misunderstand, or read their own desires into situations, only to have them cruely smashed by reality. You really do have to read the fine print to make an informed decision. Too bad that those that don't take the time to, turn out to be the ones that feel the most ripped off. I was given the same deal that Chris got and I feel blessed. Go figure.

Not Familiar With Internet Based Businesses? Then Familiarize Yourself!!!

Thu, May 04, 2006

To Whom It May Concern: As the customer service manager for Global Net Warehouse I am getting sick and tired of people, who are not familiar with internet based businesses, assuming they will make "gajillions" of dollars in their first month of business. Like I told Anthony, WHEN YOU START AN INTERNET BASED BUSINESS, A RESTAURANT, OR EVEN A RETAIL STORE, do not expect a profit your first year in business. We explain in detail that an ad campaign will take 12 to 24 months to fulfill. Anthony was not obligated to purchase advertising from our company, another company, or even at all. I reviewed the audio tape transcript of the transaction and I found all the assertions made in this rip off report as incorrect. Aside from the advertising Anthony set up, we encourage all clients to do pay per click advertising on their own through google, run classified ads over the holidays, print and distribute business cards and fliers, utilize the site for fundraising purposes, and purchase products of their own web site. Anthony has not been in the business long enough to see his full potential with his advertising. Sincerely, Steve Lawrence, Customer Service Manager Global Net Warehouse
