To Jeff Johnson.

Requesting a refund.

In 07/2003 at one of your seminars in Burbank Ca I have purchased GlobalTech software license for 4ex made ez.

A total of $3,242.09 was withdrawn from my account electronically.

I have purchased the box with the substandard software based on the hyped, misleading, guaranteed assurances of the sales reps at the seminar.

Little did I know, to my detriment, that the software was substandard and that to become a trader takes much longer than just some days of paper trading. This I was not informed of at any time during the seminar or at any time after, that it takes much, much more than just looking at the green and red arrows and remembering that "the trend is your friend".

Additional training via "free training cd's" was available within the refund period. However, in order to receive the "free training cd's" and by getting this "free training" the customer gives up his/her right to refund of funds.

Therefore, the "free training cd's" are not really "free" and the adhesion contract on the sales contract is unconscionable to a reasonable person, untrained in trading.

The software was advertised and peddled as the best thing since "sliced bread" and very easy to make money with, as long as one looks at the green arrows and enters the forex market whether for a few minutes or long term.

Assurances were made at the seminar that market entry and exit could be programmed to run on auto pilot.

Nothing can be farther from the truth as the green arrows did not seem to run in real time.

How do I know? I kept on checking the software behaviour with other trading platforms while running the 4ex made ez. Like Oanda for example. 4ex made ez was always behind other trading platforms therefore not providing real time information.

And please do not provide excuses for the software such as slow internet connection as I've had broadband cable internet connection since 2002. The software is faulty and substandard for the amount of $$ paid.

Today, knowing what I know, I would have not paid more than a throw away fee of maybe $19.99.

Even the sales people at the additional training seminar had no faith in the program as they tried to unload the software for $2300 to a seminar goers' friend.

But what really got me vexed about the whole miserable thing is that after the additional training, the additional "free training" via the "free cd's" and a few days of trying out the software and finally figuring out that I had been taken, when I called the Globaltech office I WAS LAUGHED AT.

Yes I called and requested a refund. After a few transfers from one rep to another I spoke with Oscar.

This was the rep that laughed at me. Enough said. I guess ripping people off became a game to the reps at the corp office.

I am only assuming that the name of the game may be "How many can we screw more people out of their hard earned money today".

No wonder Oscar laughed so heartily.

Refund please. Jeff, I have left you a message on your voice mail providing my phone number. And I am sure you will be able to find me in your database as my first name is not VERY popular. My location is Los Angeles.

Your speedy response and refund would be appreciated.

Malgorzata.

Stuff happens. People do travel. Thanks for asking your rep to call me in your absence. You wrote: "The voice mail advised that unless you received a callback that same day, you would post a log to this website as well as taking "other steps"." No need to sling mud at this point, however I remember asking for a call back ASAP which means: as soon as possible, so I guess the soonest the contact could have been made was Tue. the 26th of Nov, 2006, by your rep because you were not available. No big deal. I had a life for 3 years since I bought the product, a few days makes no difference. I also remember saying that I WILL BE posting a ripoff report AS A MATTER OF FACT, not "unless I received a call the same day". This was not a threat it was intended by me from the get go. However, if you INSIST on arguing the fine points of the voice mail message please forward a copy of the MP3 to me and we can start it then. Your rep shall have my email address unless it ended up in his round email file. English happens to be the 6th language I learned and I am not perfect at it. So forgive me for not communicating as well as you do. The point of this ripoff report and our communication is that I prefer to amicably resolve this issue by having your company refund my money. PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY. You wrote: "I would like to assure you that neither the 4X Made Easy software or our support is substandard." If this was true your tech people would not be sending me emails regarding working out the "BUGS" just days after the purchase. Or your sales people selling this product for $2300 at the training session, all hush, hush. If this was true your forum admins would not be blocking (I think the politically correct term is: monitoring) hundreds of customer negative comments from the 4x made EZ forum. And, ah there we go again, if this was true thousands of people that purchased your product would be screaming from the mountain tops about how much EZ money they have made with the aid of this program. I have no proof of that today, neither did I have proof of it then. In regards to your support: how many times have your caring support people contacted me after the 1st 2 weeks? To find out how I'm doing and why I did not continue with the life feed? None, zip, 0, never. REFUND PLEASE. You wrote: "The software absolutely works, and our training and tech support representatives are some of the best in the industry." I have no proof that is does work, it did not work then and that was all the proof I need. Your people may have changed from the time I used the product last. However, I don't want to be bitten by the same dog twice. REFUND PLEASE. You wrote: "Upon researching your case, I did not find any instances in your account call logs that you have ever called us for training or tech support assistance." I have attended your training In Burbank, got the "free CD's" that canceled out my refund period. DID YOU EVEN READ MY ORIGINAL POST? REFUND PLEASE. At the time of purchase I was assured by the sales rep that its EZ, just follow the arrows, and IF I needed additional training I could attend the one in Burbank. I guess that was the purpose of it make sure I do not get a refund, give 'er some "free CD's". That seals the deal, we are done, no refund, its all in the contract. TOO BAD ITS REALLY HIDDEN deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep on the underside of the contract. HOW SMOOTH TO HIDE THAT PART FROM THE CUSTOMER. In re tech support: I am pretty tech inclined, more than an average woman, there would be no need for me to call tech support, outside of the original login info and set up. Which BTW took a few days. How is that for speedy service or was this a stalling technique to lessen the number of days a customer had to try the program, minimizing the chance of a refund request. REFUND PLEASE. You wrote: "Since your purchase, the software has undergone continual development, and many new features and abilities have been added to what was already a quality product." The product was not as described by your sales reps. It was not working then and your company SHOULD HAVE REFUNDED MY MONEY THE DAY I ASKED FOR IT, which was within the stated refund period. IF YOU READ MY ORIGINAL POST YOU WOULD KNOW THAT OSCAR DID NOT LEAVE ME WITH A NICE, WARM AND FUZZY FEELING ABOUT YOUR COMPANY. REFUND PLEASE. I am NOT interested in linguistics marathon, she said he said, how can we help you, further training, your stalling techniques, unfriendly people, ETC. It is too late for that, the damage had been done a long time ago. Lets just handle this nicely - REFUND MY MONEY. I am not even asking for interest on the money your company have been using for 3 years. JUST REFUND MY MONEY - AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY. I promise to send you a politically correct, up coming 2006 holiday season card. FREE. ;-)

I apologize that I was not able to respond to your posting sooner, as an existing travel commitment has kept me out of the office. Additionally, the voicemail you left on the morning of 11/22/06 was not received until after the Thanksgiving Holiday. The voicemail advised that unless you received a callback that same day, you would post a log to this website as well as taking "other steps". That being said, I have reviewed your posting and understand that a representative from my staff has contacted you regarding your concerns. I would like to assure you that neither the 4X Made Easy software or our support is substandard. The software absolutely works, and our training and tech support representatives are some of the best in the industry. Every employee is committed to each customer's success and to resolving any issues they may experience with the software. Upon researching your case, I did not find any instances in your account call logs that you have ever called us for training or tech support assistance. We would appreciate an opportunity to demonstrate how easy the software is to use, and to provide personal training on the software and assistance from a senior technician, if need be. Since your purchase, the software has undergone continual development, and many new features and abilities have been added to what was already a quality product. Our intent is to resolve this in an amicable fashion, and we will be contacting you soon to discuss your case. Respectfully, Jeff Johnson Vice President Operations/COO Globaltec Solutions
