Complaint Review: NATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES - WORLDWIDE MARKETING - Littleton Colorado

Here's what TIO and WWM did to me.

First, I purchased a personal website from a company called Triple Income Opportunity, www.tripleio.com , also known as National Opportunities, for $99.99 from Connie Ligas with a promise to make good money on commission. This was purchased on a different credit card, and is also in dispute. This purchase came with an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee and a company called World Wide Marketing was recommended to me as a marketing company. I was also promised that I would not be charged further. Literally overnight, a website called www.7008.tripleio.com became available to me. This site is identical to www.tripleio.com, and I believed this to be a holding place while my personal site was being constructed. A few days later John Collins of World Wide Marketing contacted me and convinced me to purchase marketing from their company since they knew the business so well, and another marketing company must be approved by Triple Income Opportunity if I chose another firm. This also came with a money back guarantee. All communication up to this point has been verbal. A few days later, Jack McKenzie of World Wide marketing contacted me about a website name. I chose www.riversidesuperstore.com as a name. The next day, I input my website name into a browser. Immediately, the name was redirected to www.7008.tripleio.com . This site is identical to www.tripleio.com. There is no mention of riversidesuperstore.com, not even in the address field. So, in essence

www.riversidesuperstore.com = www.7008.triplio.com = www.triplio.com

If I type www.riversidesuperstore.com into a browser address field, a redirect occurs, and www.7008.tripleio.com shows in the address field. Again, the content of all 3 addresses is identical. I called and requested a refund, as had been verbally promised, and termination of my membership from National Opportunities. They indicated that since I had purchased marketing from World Wide Marketing, I had to first get a refund from World Wide Marketing. I called World Wide Marketing and requested a refund from marketing. They stated that I was ineligible for a refund since my marketing was already in place. I asked for details and was told that my site had been included in www.msn.com , www.facebook.com and various other sources. The support representative quickly became belligerent, verbally abusive and hostile. I also spoke with John Collins who was also abusive and hostile, and resorted to name calling and belittling language. He offered no techniques to verify that marketing was in place Finally, I searched facebook and msn specifically for my domain name, and no results for the www.riversidesuperstore.com were found. Searches for some of the products offered (AT&T, Apple Computers, etc) also did not produce results. Google and Yahoo also did not produce results. World Wide Marketing has also failed to deliver a television commercial on DVD.

Finally, I am trying to locate an independent 3rd party to offer an opinion. I believe, however, that National Opportunities and World Wide Marketing are possibly the same company. The phone number for National Opportunities is 888-278-0065. John Collinss voicemail directs calls to 888-278-0065 for customer support. I dont know if what they are doing is legal, but they are certainly operating a very elaborate scam. At any rate, both companies have violated a money back guarantee, however, I realize that this specific complaint is with World Wide Marketing. My total loss so far is $6100.00.
