I signed up with a company called Apply Knowledge Institute which also goes by the names of: Duvera Financial, Pro Mentoring Group (PMG), YES International, Online Profit Masters, eVertex, 6-Figure Consulting and of course the infamous The Tax Club. I was told I would get the same "coaching" sessions and they would teach me more about selling on Ebay and such websites. All I needed to was to pay start-up costs and they would do the rest ($4,800). The sites worked fine for a little while then it stopped. I contacted Apply Knowledge and I was told that someone would contact me to walk me through fixing those issues. I was contacted by some pushy little snot named Bryan, telling me that I would need to upgrade the program and that would cost me ($1,700). A few days later I was also contacted by someone from The Tax Club informing me that I needed to have accounting help once my business was up and running. That cost me another ($2,300).
I havent spoken to a coach in months and Im sitting here trying to figure out what it is my money really went for. It certainly wasnt for ME to make money at home. It went straight into their pockets. My online business hasnt produced anything because they did not do a thing!!! I tried contacting Apply Knowledge several times hoping that I can get my money refunded back to me and to cancel with them. They informed me that I was under a contract and I could pay the full amount, which was another $2,700, or they would sue me. I told them I would be contacting the Attorney General to straighten this out and hung up. I refuse to give them any more money. They never did anything in the first place.
I did some research on Apply Knowledge aka eVertex aka 6-Figure Consulting and The Tax Club. ALSO YES International, Duvera Financial, Pro Mentoring Group and Online Profit Masters. Neither have good reputations for providing the services that they promise. Also, most of them have a F rating on the BBB website. I wish I would have done my research beforehand, it would have saved me a lot of financial heartache and stress. THEY ARE ALL SCAM AND SCUM!!! In my research, I came across a law firm that helped me get my money back with no money up front. I spoke to this very lovely woman named Cheryl @(((REDACTED))). She really got the ball rolling and I am SO THANKFUL to her.
I have posted this comment on other boards but I have done further research on these companies after the fact and have found out all the other names they go by or the names of the companies that are in it with them and wanted to make others aware of what CROOKS these people are.
STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!!
