The Greatest Vitamin In The World I was scammed into spending 330 dollars that was supposed to fund my site. Phoenix Arizona
The Greatest Vitamin in the World is merely the most despicable. I am a young man, 19 years old, ready to get married, and woefully short on funds. Late one evening, an infomercial from Don Lapre (now I know he is a renowned con man)came on, and he was advertising a business. The program he was detailing just kept sounding better, so I finally caved in and called the number. I listened to a recording that highlighted the points of the program, which only fueled my enthusiasm to empty my pocket to this man's business. I was told the program was free at first, then when I finally spoke with a real person (His name was James, by the way, so if you recognize the name and you have been scammed also, then perhaps that will help), a nominal $35 fee was introduced. I thought, "Well, it's only $35 dollars, sure."
About a week later I was contacted by James to tell me about a platinum program that was a bit pricey. I refused, but then he got his "manager" to cut the price numerous times, to a hefty $295. I said no, but they kept pressing. Sadly, I gave in again. I was supposed to be GUARANTEED traffic to my site, of which I have been the only visitor to.
I recently attempted to log in, and I was shocked by this note:
"IMPORTANT: Attention Independent Advertisers!
After over 3 years of making over 100 changes to our amazing Independent Advertiser Program, and after paying out millions of dollars to our Independent Advertisers, we were just not able to make our program succeed at the levels it need to in order to cover all the overhead of our company. So, on 5/23 we entered into an agreement to give the company away to a much bigger company in CA and they had the financial strength and knowledge to potentially place our company on the map.
10 weeks later, after they took over the operations of the company, they withdrew from the agreement that was almost completed. This caused our company to collapse with an instant loss of all revenue to function as a company. However, the good news is that:
IF you got set up as an Independent Advertiser on 5/23 or anytime after, this company, in spite of withdrawing their offer and do to the fact that they were processing all clients sales over this period of time, wants to service those clients 100% and insure satisfaction to all. If you got started since 5/23 or sooner, this company will contact you to give you all the information you need to continue. There will be some changes based on the show not airing and a change in staff, but their goal is to provide you with amazing service. If you started on 5/23 to date, they processed your order and they are excited to handle your business, make the changes needed, and switch you into a new program should you desire. They will be contacting you via email, audio, and with a postcard which will give you all the new information about their company and their c/s number.
However, IF you purchased your Independent Advertiser program prior to 5/23, you might be even more excited because we are going to set you up with a brand new program that we believe will give you the potential to make even more money than what our old program did. In addition, any money you spent with the original program will earn you matching credit with our new program so you will be able to get 100% credit on every penny spent with the original program!
So, IF you are an independent Advertiser and you purchased prior to 5/23, by Wednesday we will update this message and direct you to your new business. Because of the company not being able to function as it was, we are releasing our most amazing product ONLY to those Independent Advertisers from 5/23 and prior. This new product , along with our Curing Illness book, will allow you to make unlimited income without having to sell X number of units and the new product is so amazing, we believe you might just be able to sell this product every month to thousands of people. You will be allowed to go retail, set up your own sales reps, it will be amazing. The product is actually designed to make you even happier than you normally are and with all healthy nutrients! Take a look at the two products you will soon be allowed to see direct and then we will tell you how we are going to compensate you on all the money you spent with our original product:
Both of these products will be available to you and if you spent, lets say $1500 with our company, you will get $5 off on the first 300 units you purchase, thus paying you back for all the money you spent with our Vita program.
There will be no restrictions on how much you can charge for these two amazing products and our cost to you will be so low, it will allow you to mark the products up by 4-5 times the amount. This will give you the potential to make up to 400-500% return on each sale you make. Imagine if you had a small team of sales people and you paid them, lets say $10 per sale, and you had more than $10 in the price for yourself, you could create a team of sales people selling your product and whatever they make each week for themselves, you get paid a MATCHING PAYCHECK and that is from everyone you have selling these two amazing products!"
I have been screwed. Someone help me stand up for what is right!
