April 2, 2008 I received a phone call from Millennium Marketing Concepts (MMC) agent, Brian Thomas, promising assured monthly income of $1600-2000 a month and coaching from Mr. Thomas when needed. I would pay a small investment - $349 for the Gold Package, then an upgrade. I was assured a monthly income of $1600-2000, a coach, two invoices- Gold package $349 & Platinum package $8,400 totalling$8,749.00. I never received complete packages, i.e., number of stores, Ebay, etc. I never received any money. I paid with two credit cards: Gold Package - $349.00; then upgraded to a Platinum Package - $8,400.00 for a total of $8,749.00. I never received any profit! not one cent!
Innumerous calls and emails, a letter, were never returned/or acknowledged. I was given a Wait number, and finally at No. 1 the answering machine said the office was closed (at mid afternoon?) After the sale I connected by phone ONCE in 2008. At that time I learned that Brian Thomas had left the company, customer service staff had also left. I was assigned a new coach was at this time that I was informed my new coach was Jack Foster but I never spoke with him. I could never access his office.
In December 2008 my website, PPC was no longer shown on the internet. I emailed this fact to MMC and it was back in January 09. When my website: www.PuebloPlazaCenter.com was returned to the screen the stores eBay, Amazon, etc. were reduced in number and value.
During April to December 2008 I was never able to talk to anyone at MMC, except for one time in May 08 when Customer Service answered and informed my coach had left MMC; I was given a wait number (in the 20's to start) and at #1 the answering machine said We're sorry-the office is now closed. It could be an early hour, so I began to wonder if this was a scam. I was clearly being avoided.
I called a local attorney and was advised to contact our attorney general and if that didn' t help call him again. Colorado Attorney General contacted Nevada's Attorney General who wrote me that her state no longer had a consumer affairs division. I am at square one, disillusioned and I have 2 credit card debts to pay, hopefully before I leave this earth. Luckily I found Rip Off site while looking up Millennium, no less. I hope this helps me, helps anyone in the path of MMC.
