Summit Marketing Institute, A1 Leasing, Start Up Essentials Was supposed to make alot of money from home based buisiness Grand Rapids Michigan
I'm desperate, living hand to mouth, exactly what these kinds of scammers are looking for!
I was convinced that I could be making thousands of dollars a month if I just signed up.
I should have known, I had a gut feeling about this and I was right.
Now they have my checking account number and for 4 years I'm giving them $130 a month, I cannot afford it, it's killing what finances I have.
I took there little buisiness course that a monkey could figure out, I guess it was to make me feel good to know I was capable of doing something. Everything I was 'taught' was basics. I could have done an Ebay store for $20 a month.
I have a credit card machine that is part of the lease agreement, what the hell do I need a credit card machine for? It's a drop ship deal. I ask that question but quickly had the subject changed and forgot about it untill it was to late.(smooth talk)
At any rate I thought I could at least give it a try, only to find that all the suppliers they steered me to were retailers them selves. Now anybody that knows anything about the wholesale/retail end of buisiness knows you cannot sell any item below what thy call map pricing.
The 'dropshippers' are not offering the products,at least to me, below map, so how the hell are you going to make any money selling a product when all the customer has to do is go to their web sight and get it at map!!
All you end up doing is selling for the 'dropshipper' and paying for shipping out of your own pocket and loosing money!
This is one of the worst things I'v had to deal with, and I'm in a world of hurt because of it.But they don't care, they're making money--MINE!!!!
Makes me feel real stupid to fall for something like this..

getting threats about nonpayment of lease

It's been 5 months since I filed my original complaint, I have realy had a bad string of luck in the past 3 months. My checking account was hacked and cleaned out, I'v broken my wrist and now I'm out of work and struggling just to keep my house, but these people do not care and are threatening me with collection. I just do not know where to turn. Paying $4800 dollars for a $99 dollar credit card machine, (for a home based buiseness??) is more than I can bare. I had a gut feeling about this in the beginning, but a shrewd sales person suckered me in! It seems to me that there has to be a law or something about over charging someone 4000% for a usless peice of junk. If anyone has any clues as to what I can do it would sure help. I bought the Rip-Off Revenge book, but I can't quite connect the dots on how to get back at these people. Their whole plan seems to find people who are down and are looking for a way to help themselves to a better life and taking what little they have left.. Very depressed G.B. Akron Ohio
