ITV Ventures Rip Off For Reps All Talk and Promises, No Action, Rip Off for Consumers and Representatives Beverly Massachusetts
We enrolled in ITV a year ago and spent 499.00 plus shipping and with the promise that you would not have to go door to door to sell anything, that you would be able to contact customers who already used the product and they would give full support to you. They promised to teach you how to run a business even if you knew nothing. HA! The so called kit we received, which they claim is "Quick Start" had nothing at all to start any business only bottles of vitimans and a motivation book we could have bought from a book store.
Now When we called ITV and ask about what the box should have contained the person on the phone stated they were not sure as the company was new and they were still working out the kinks and with a promise they would replace what was missing from the premier kit. Now we did get a web site, pretty common for anyone who pays the 499.00. We did buy leads from them to the tune of 2.00 a piece. The leads were people who ITV had either ripped off by not refunding money under their money back guarentee, or people who were very angry at ITV for the bad products they purchased. This was not the worst.
ITV gave out our home phone number to hundreds of unhappy people from all over the US. We were getting calls all hours of the night and day from people wanting their refunds because they had sent their product back and had never received their refund. The last straw was we received a call at 2am from an irrate customer screaming "wheres my refund". We had been reps for over 6 months and month after month it had only gotten worse.
We never got any replacement for our kit, we spent over 1200 on leads and trying to get the so called business off the ground. ITV Ventures also requires that you buy or sell 100.00 of their products and pay 29.99 for so called training.
After 6 months, multiple phone calls and finally threatening to notify the Attorney General they did refund our 499.99. We were out all other monies we spent trying to make it work. Also, their infomercials are very misleading. The only people making money with them is people who find suckers like us.
Beware!

ITV Ventures Is A Legitimate Work At Home Opportunity

I have been an Independent Business Owner with ITV Ventures since March 2007. It is explained to everyone who partners with ITV that this is your own business and that it is your responsibilty how successful and productive your business becomes. You get out of it what you put into it. My wife and I have been extremely successful building our business and it has been growing on a monthly basis. Its explained that this is NOT a get rich quick scheme, but a work from home business partnership where ITV does all of the advertising and marketing, stores inventory and completes all of the shipping for you. Yes, there are fees and costs associated with this business, but with any business there are costs involved. Try opening up any type of business for only $600. The products do work and the business model associated with ITV along with the Home Agent Program cannot be duplicated making it a win-win situation for anyone who gets involved. Sincerely, Nicholas
