I checked out this company and several others that I hear advertised all the time on AM radio, as possible "investments" and extra-work options. In the case that you're not interested in the "product", it's all the same: they have your credit card number from a shipping payment, you can't get any customer service, and surprise payments get on your credit card for something you don't want or that you returned, and they threaten to ruin your credit if you fight or don't pay. If nothing else, DON'T PAY!! You can fix the credit reports when you show them it was a scam. I saw this with "See Clearly" method, "Mystery Shopper", "Internet Speedway", the co's that sell hair-regrowth vitamins that don't do anything (duh!!!) and the list goes on. If there are all these common threads, there is likely something else common to them, since no one creates a business with multi-million dollar radio and TV ad campaigns for these scams in 5 minutes. Someone has to help. There have to be lawyers, ad agencies, and in particular, BANKS, involved to help create and maintain these scams. I would guess that there are only a handful of these scam assistants, and THEY should be investigated and tried under the RICO laws, as they are truly RACKETEERING ENTERPRISES. The banks are laundering criminal money for these guys, the ads are helping to defraud, and media companies are no less than pimping by running ads that prey on their audience.
