Subject: Unethical & Unlawful practices of I-Management alias PG GLOBAL.
Kayla Nguyen:
I am writing in reference to I-Management, PG GLOBAL's unethical and most likely unlawful business practices.
On June 24, 2002, your corporation took funds out of my bank account for the amount of $36.19, and I would not of known this if I hadn't been checking my account balance of the web.
I did not order any product or service from your Internet Billing Service. It has been my experience that if one did order a product through an Internet Service, one usually receives an e-mail of confirmation from that Internet Billing Service, which I never received from your corporation and this is usually done almost instantaneously after purchasing a product through the Internet.
I called my bank about this concern and the bank was able to provide me with a telephone number of I-Management, (1-626-577-9666), I explained to your customer service agent of the error that occurred.
She assured me that I would receive a refund. Once again, I did not receive an e-mail to confirm this; most other Internet Billing Services seem to use this practice to confirm such transactions. Your corporation does not seem to process any confirmations in writing, so I am starting to question why doesn't your company do this? I must lead one to believe you may not be a reputable company that is honest to the public.
I called I-Management Company after waiting thirty days and not receiving a refund as promised. Your customer service agent did not and would not give her name (another unprofessional practice, which leads me to believe of your company being dishonest), she became rude and spoke in an unprofessional manner and hung up on me.
I have come to believe I-Management / PG GLOBAL does not have any intentions on refunding me the funds due to me. I believe this company is just going to drag this situation on with hopes that I will just go away. I am informing you I will just go away, because I will do my best to stop you from just not ripping me off but other consumers.
Total loss to me was $36.19, in one sense not a large dollar amount.
But, if I-Management defrauds one consumer per day: per year that is a total loss of: $13,209.35 to consumers.
If I-Management defrauds ten consumers per day: per year it results a loss to consumers to the amount of: $ 132,093.50.
If I-Management defrauds a minimum of one hundred consumers a day throughout this nation per day: per year; the loss to consumers is over a million dollars: $1,320,935.00.
No wonder I-Management doesn't want to refund to consumers, that is a very hefty amount of money collect from consumers.
I don't know if the State of California appreciates having this type of unscrupulous and dishonest companies located in their State. One of the ways California is judged is by the types of businesses they allow in their back yards. This is one corporation that the State of California may want to remove from its premises.
But, I be writing to Governor Gray Davis and the California Secretary of State, Bill Jones, informing them of I-Management / PG GLOBAL's business practices, plus I will send them a copy of this letter.
I will also be reporting this company to the Internet Rip-Off Report along with various other Consumer and Better Business Bureaus Agencies. I will continue to seek out other businesses that will do business with I-Management to inform them of your disreputable business practices. I will make the public aware of the company names associated with I-Management / PG GLOBAL, so that the public can beware of companies associated with this corporation.
There is an old saying many parents tell their children, Even though you are not like the crowd you hang with, you will be judged by their behavior.
In other words, if you are a Business Partner with I-Management / PG Global, which uses dishonorable business practices, the public consumer will associate you to be as an disreputable business as I-Management / PG GLOBAL.
In the end, I may or may not receive the funds that should be refunded to me, consequently; my main goal is to warn the consumers of the corrupt, immoral practices of the corporation known as: I-Management / PG GLOBAL.
I-Management, Inc. / PG GLOBAL
I-Management, which will do business in California as PG GLOBAL.

EDitor's Comment important statement: When consumers come to the Rip-off Report, we definitely do not want them to be ripped off, again!
#20
Thu, August 15, 2002
The reason why have removed links or phone numbers from this report is because people have, in the past, attempted the following, ...all too often.
Posting LINKS & e-mail addresses
Many times links to unknown web sites will cause the Freezing up of your pc and or causing you to get a computer virus, virtually rendering your computer useless. Most of the time, this is the work of the company or individual reported.
Many Government links are no better than BBB and are just a waste of time, giving you false hope. Many government sites (like the BBB) just suck in all information from you the consumer but never make the information available, so consumers will be educated as to what exactly they should be looking out for. On the other hand, many government agencies have and do come to the Rip-off Report for information. We have been assisting many government agencies for some time now, including the FBI and Attorney General offices from around the country..
Now that all these Rip-off Reports are out in the open for everyone to see, in a way, this embarrasses these agencies to now do something when they see so many reports on a company or individual, because they are now out in the open for all to see. Unfortunately, many (not all) Attorney General Office's and government agencies will not move against a rip-off unless there is going to be some sort of publicity on the rip-off. By reporting your experience on the Rip-off Report is the next best thing to getting your story on TV or in a newspaper. Most national TV networks and many local TV stations from all around the country come to the Rip-off Report for information they will not get from the BBB, Attorney Generals office or any other government agency. Rip-off Report has instigated many local and national stories, resulting in help for victims, in one way or another. Most government agencies will never even bother with rip-offs unless it involves $50,000 or more. Now that the government is cutting back even more, this number will even get higher and we can expect even less to get done, by even less people to work on all these rip-offs.
LAWYERS :
We have also struggled with the following for a long time..
The reason why we delete phone numbers, ..all too often unscrupulous lawyers or individuals posing as lawyers are collecting victims information to only further victimize them. Many times, well-meaning consumers think they are going to collect names and get them to a lawyer who will do something. In every case we have allowed other consumers to do this, nothing has ever came of it. Consumers were under the impression that something will be done to get them help. In every case this did nothing but lead the consumer on, further victimizing them, and some consumers were mad at us. We feel it is our responsibility to check the legitimacy of the lawyer before advertising their service on the Rip-off Report.
We will also not allow lawyers to use this web site for free when they will end up taking a large amount of fees, leaving the victim with very little. There are many competent lawyers out there that know how to get the unscrupulous companies or individual who ripped you off, to get their fees be paid by those who victimized you. Those are the lawyers who can post their numbers after checking with us here at the Rip-off Report.
JUNK MAIL:
And many times, in an attempt to get your contact information, consumers will leave an email address; this is just a scam to sell a product or some other service.
..if they have something to sell, they should place an advertisement with Rip-off Report.com so we can further help consumers.
All advertisements are checked out to the best of our ability before allowing them to be placed on the Rip-off Report. WE have turned down many advertisers to date. Advertisers on the Rip-off Report know, they are not immune from a Rip-off Report being filed on them.

The only way to stop a corporation that only cares about "dollars" is to hit them as hard as you can in the pocket book. If they really have a biz practice of ripping people off, they should be forced to pay money back and then some.
If you are interested in pursuing this potential avenue, feel free to call Patrick at: 888-311-0899.

I-Management / PG Global, Pasadena, Calf. Continues to refuse to make actual refund. ..sorry, but no help at all

08/13/02
Follow-up on I-Mangement / PG Global.
On August 9th. 2002, I received an e-mail from Kayla Nguyen, stating she was the CEO of I-Management/PG Global.
In her e-mail, she apologized if her customer serive personnel were rude, but she used the usual corporate co-out of: "I wasn't there to hear her, so I can't say she was really rude to you."
In other words this is not a real honest apology!
Kayla Nguyen, also stated that a refund was made to my account the day I informed them of the error, which was on June 24th, 2002.
My bank does not have any record of any such transaction-taking place.
I e-mailed Kayla Nguyen, informing her of this, I asked for the transaction information so that my bank could investigate the transaction that should have occurred.
If this transaction did take place as Kayla Nguyen stated, she should be able to provide this information immediately.
No response from Kayla Nguyen in reference to this information that is needed to help resove this matter.
This lack of response for this information has to lead one to believe that I-Management/PG Global and Kayla Nguyen in the end does not have any real intentions to refund the amount of $36.19 as promised.
