Complaint Review: Lee Honish - Internet

If you're thinking about using the services of Lee Honish...do yourself a BIG BIG favor and read below.

I signed up with Lee Honish in good faith and paid my $997.00 to use the Monster Marketing system...who wouldn't...it sounded so good.  I used his reccomended data providers, telephone answering/appointment setters...everything!  I followed his blueprint to a "T". NO deviations whatsoever....and it was a collossal failure!I spoke with Diana Ortiz several times trying to figure out why my returns were nowhere near what was promised.  I even ended up speaking to Lee directly.  He asked if I wanted a refund or wanted the system to work?  I told Lee that "Obviously", I preferred to have the system work.

Lee told me he would run a test program in my area personally to see what sort of response he got, and that he would get back to me the following Monday...I never did hear from him!

Below is a copy of the letter I ended up sending to Lee with the transcribed text messages between Lee and myself.  At present I am filing a small claims lawsuit against him because he never did perform and his intent was clearly designed to simply string me out and hold my $997.00 hostage! 

Lee,

On February 4, 2015 I spoke with you regarding the dismal lack of response on the Monster Program, Ie., out of well over 300 of these “air-bills” placed, I received some 14 call back responses.  The information given when you market the program was that for every 36 placed, I should receive at least 6-8 responses, and of those at least half generally agree to meet in person.  (in fact I was told the response rate should be much better, but that those are the numbers allowed to be stated.)  Obviously what I encountered was nowhere near those numbers and not even one homeowner actually met with me.

I used YOUR recommended data source.  I used YOUR recommended call center.  I carried the program out EXACTLY as instructed.  I communicated several times with Diana to try and figure out what the problem was. 

On February 4^th, I spoke directly with you.  You asked if I would like a refund or if I was more interested in having the program work.  I chose the latter for obvious reasons.  You said you would get back to me in a couple days (by the following Monday), that you were going to put out some of these air-bills in the area I was in, and see if your response rate was any better, and that you would get back to me Monday the 9^th. 

I received no response on the 9^th.  On the 10^th, 11^th and 13^th I left multiple messages for you…still with NO response.

On Monday the 16^th, I text you and said that I had been waiting for a week with NO response from you and that now I decided I wanted a refund. 

You text me back same day and said you would initiate the refund. 

On Wednesday the 18^th, I text you to find out when I should receive the refund…You stated it would take 3-5 days.

On Monday the 23^rd, I text you again to notify that I had now been 8 days with NO refund.  You said you were busy but you would check on it but that I should have it by the 25^th or 26^th, that you were sorry but that you would expedite it.  On the 26^th, when I had not received the refund, I sent you a total of four text messages letting you know this and inquiring for more information…you never even responded!

On the 27^th, I sent you two more text messages before you finally responded.  You then told me you were waiting on a response from PayPal, that it’s PayPal’s policy not to effect a refund for 30 days, that you were “going out of your way” to expedite this for me…and that I was harassing you.

I spoke to PayPal as I also have a PayPal account.  PayPal has NO such policy.

I replied that I was not harassing you…merely following up with you when things did not materialize in the time frames YOU set.   I also advised you that I spoke with PayPal and they have NO such policy as you stated.

You told me AGAIN that you expedited my refund.

You then attempted to chastise me and tell me that you thought I was trying to get your system and also get a refund

That’s PURE NONSENSE!  It seems you lash out when you don’t perform and somebody wants to hold you accountable to the many deceptions you put out.

You then AGAIN told me you would work on my “expedited” case.

On Thursday, March 5^th, I text you again to say it had now been almost three weeks, and STILL I had received NO refund.  I had to send you FOUR text throughout the day before you FINALLY took it upon yourself to respond.

You then told me that I would have it in my account by noon on March 6^th.

On the 6^th at 11:30 I sent you a friendly reminder and asked you to let me know when the transfer was made…You said you would.

I text you yet again later that afternoon to let you know I still had not received anything.

You said the refund had been issued and the money withdrawn from your account and that you had confirmation of this.

On Monday March 9^th, I still had NOT received any refund.  I sent you a very irritated text telling you to get it fixed and that I would accept NO more of YOUR LIES!

TODAY is now March 16^th….guess what…I still have received NO REFUND. 

It is apparent even to a blind man at this point that you have done nothing but lie in a vain attempt to string me out.  If I do not receive the money in my account by this FRIDAY at noon…I will be filing a Small Claims lawsuit against you and you will pay my cost of court as well. 

My advice is that you get this handled ASAP because you are going to look like a complete fool if I have to drag you into court.
