NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

=====================

International Profit Associates Huge Scam! These guys are well trained to take advantage of you! Buffalo Grove Illinois

If a representative contacts you from this company, tell them NO immediately. Get them off the phone tell them to leave your business. These guys will say anything to get in your door, find out how much money they can steel from you and leave you flat. They are so slick and so good at telling you what you want to hear. It sounded great at first, until the dumber of the two mentioned post dated checks and other unprofessional options for payment. "Never mind the payment agreement there are creative ways around that" we were told. You pay nothing unless you are satisfied.

I was promised an analysis for $500.00 and no payment unless we were satisfied. The analysis never occurred and the next thing we know three of the crooked reps show up to get to work. Again with the promise of no pay unless satisfied and if we agree to move forward with their assistance. I rarely make any business decisions with out my Attorney involved and this was no exception. As soon as I heard one of their reps request "post dated checks" if we agreed to proceed I researched IPA on the internet. Thank God for Rip Off Report!

I immediately after reading some of the horror stories about this company called my Attorney and asked him to handle removing them from our place of business. I wanted to make sure it was handled in the correct way (legal). I put the rep on the phone with my Attorney, he was instructed to leave. I handed them a letter drafted by my Attorney and asked them to leave.

After a half our of scrambling on their computers and going through their paper work while we stood there and watched them they printed out an invoice and statement for $5,226.41 and wanted me to sign it. I told them to grab their things and leave NOW. The response was we need a check first. With a little bit more forceful LEAVE NOW! They left. Both of the crooks were laughing as they entered their vehicle. Bottom line they did nothing at all while they were here except get a free lunch out of me, and downloaded our accounting file to their lap top without my permission.

I am lucky to have dogged this bullet and I am willing to do anything I can to help prevent anyone else from becoming their next VICTIM. Bottom line we received no service, no analysis, no paperwork and a big invoice all in 4 hours! I would guess I have not heard the last of these crooks!
