*UPDATE Employee: Bad Ripoff!!! I too was scammed by Jim Rosen system.
I purchased the Jim Rosen classified ad on September 19th, 2003. I don't remember exactly what date I got the program but I remember I had to get the 800 number off my credit card to call and find out what was taking so long. Finally I received it which I beleive was about a month later. I put the program aside for a while because of personal matters and eventually looked at the program later in October.
Time went by and I received a call in October by someone explaining to me about how Jim created his wealth by selling fitness equipment and how I could do the same. I have my own business currently and I have to say it sounded like a make sense idea. On October 28th, 2003 I made a commitment of $9,000.00 for my website and all advertising. I was told all I would have to do is just receive the orders in my email and call them into the company. There would be no requirement on my part except wait for the emails.
About a week later I received a package to my disappointment which didn't look very professional at all. I tried not to get discouraged since this is on the internet and figured maybe there isn't much to it. So I call the number in the package to get started and they told me I would need a merchant account or a Pay Pal account. I obtained a Pay Pal account and called them back with the information. They said I was all set to go all I needed to do was just wait for the emails.
Then another week went by and a lady named Lisa called and talked to me about my website and told me about one last advertising cost which was optional. I invested another $500.00 and was explained this would conclude any further investments and things should get rolling soon now. The $500.00 was for 5 additional websites which bring traffic to my orginal for purchasing fitness equipment.
So I decided to check out my sites and was disappointed in my fitness site because I was told that the only way someone could bye from the website was if they had the /and a number beside it. I wanted to make sure that if someone deleted my designation number I couldn't lose the credit for that purchase. Well they lied and if you do go to the address which is same as mine just without the number at the end someone can still purchase from the site. That pissed me off.
Anyway so I checked out my other sites and it got worse. The other sites are linked to the main web address and not mine with my id number. So if anyone does go guess who gets the credit. I try to resolve stuff but all I get is the runaround like let me check with my supervisor and then I get disconnected, and many other excuses.
Eventually I came across this site and read the post by that woman from Louisiana. Obviously I got scammed the same exact way. I continued to read on and to my surprise this site was able to get her money back. Can you help me too? PLEASE!
My total debt from this web scam is as follows:
$39.95 +S&H = $54.95 for classified ad system 9/19/03
$9000.00 for the website from webad systems 10/28/03
$500.00 for the additional advertising including my 5 new web addresses 11/25/03
$8.00 x 3 = $24.00 for which I have no idea what these charges are for and can't get any answers but are going to W Craig & Comp 11/21,12/15,& 12/17
A Total debt investment of $9,578.45 and not to mention my time wasted. I thought there was no hope of getting out of this scam until I read about the lady from Louisiana. Please can you help me too! I have not seen one sale from this webad system only debt! Obviously after reading all the other complaints I am not alone. Help! Help! Help!

I paid alot of money for the program and the website and have not earned a dime just alot of money taken from my checking account. Someone has to stop these people from scamming the consumers. I mamnaged to contact most of the people to get the business closed but I am still being chareged by A-1 leasing for the amount of 67.22 every month and this just has to stop because i can no longer afford to be ripped off!!

I spoke with the woman in Wa, Louisiana..
Hi Chad- I'm really sorry for what you are going through. I'm fighting a similar battle (see rip off report titled "W. Craig & Company, Web Ad Systems Real Estate Rip Off, Scammed out of thousands of dollars, John Beck Land Banc Phoenix Arizona"). I want to let you know that I spoke with the woman (Linda) from Washington, Louisiana. She actually was able to get a full refund, BUT did so through the efforts of her credit card companies (Discover and Mastercard). She put pressure on them to go after these guys and they did. I just faxed a 25 page document to my credit card company's disputes department. I put copies of my receipts, invoices, my rip-off report and other people's rip-off reports to attest to the fraudulent activities of this company. I don't know if I will have any luck through this route.
I also filed a complaint online with the IFCC. Tomorrow I will overnight express mail the 25 page document to the Arizona Attorney General's Consumer Complaint office.
I did purchase the Do-It-Yourself Revenge Guide, however, I have not been successful yet at faxing multiple copies of my rip off report to the company because all lines of communication seem to be shut down.
I am trying several different routes and will also contact the media if I don't get anywhere else. Anyway, good luck with your situation. If you have not already done so, pleeease file a report with the IFCC. The website address is
