Serafano Enterprises home-based business rip-off! Over $2000.00! Online pharmacy supposed to be the greatest. Plantation Florida
In March we were contacted by Mr Scott Schaff representing Serafano Enterprises. We signed up for their "home based business" for $995.00. In about 2 weeks they came up with an even greater way to make more - by advertising AdPro. This cost us an additional $1004.95 (which was a bargain from the actual cost for anyone else of $4000.00).
We are making an attempt to contact our credit card company to see what, if anything, can be done. This money means a lot to us. I am on a fixed income and had hoped to be able to supplement my income from home.
Always check first with the Better Business Bureau and ask for referenced of someone who is alreay successful in the business. I would think that if they were a legitimate business they would have no objection to giving you a reference.

Consumer Advocate Follow-up, Mr. Serafano did indeed make off with Scott & Annie's money after giving them the runaround

It appears Mr. Serafano did indeed make off with Scott & Annie's money after giving them the runaround, I was unable to get a testimonial to the thousands of dollars they supposed to be making using this system, and I was hung up on when calling SE Consulting asking for a testimonial from Scott&Annie from Oklahoma. Don't end up like these people, make sure you study the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) tips for consumers considering home-based businesses. I have provided the hyperlink and a brief quote below. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/franchise/netbusop.htm Twenty-three states have business opportunity laws. Most of these laws prohibit sales of business opportunities unless the seller gives potential purchasers a pre-sale disclosure document that has first been filed with a designated state agency. State business opportunity laws typically cover every imaginable type of business opportunity that might be offered. If a business opportunity seller is not required to provide pre-sale disclosures by the Franchise Rule, these disclosures will almost always be required by the laws of the states listed below. The disclosures required by state business opportunity laws differ, and usually provide more abbreviated information than the Franchise Rule requires. However, most of these laws provide important rights and remedies for business opportunity investors, including required security bonds to cover investor losses. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/invest/homewrk.htm QUESTIONS TO ASK Legitimate work-at-home program sponsors should tell you - IN WRITING - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask a promoter: What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program sponsor to list every step of the job.) Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission? Who will pay me? When will I get my first paycheck? What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees? What will I get for my money? The answers to these questions may help you determine whether a work-at-home program is appropriate for your circumstances, and whether it is legitimate. You also might want to check out the company with your local consumer protection agency, state Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau, not only where the company is located, but also where you live. These organizations can tell you whether they have received complaints about the work-at-home program that interests you. But be wary: the absence of complaints doesn't necessarily mean the company is legitimate. Unscrupulous companies may settle complaints, change their names or move to avoid detection. Of course, you can always check out the Rip-Off Report for accurate information about a specific company.

BIG error Serafano not rip off artist
#3Author of original report

We want to retract our complaint against Serafano Enterprises. They have contacted us and are working really well with us now to get the business going like they promised. We apparently were caught just at the wrong time with the other reports of being ripped off by this company. We apoligize if we mislead other people in the same way we were mislead into thinking that Joe and company are frauds.
