Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Being a 42 year old husband with a wife who has severe asthma, who's on disability. It does'nt give me much chance to work outside the home to help bring in any extra money. Because she requires for the most part around the clock care.

I filled out a form on homebased business on the internet, after seeing any number of late night commercials on TV about different people making money from home using their computers. When would'nt you know it a company I never heard of called me one day, telling me They could make me Money without me having to lift a finger.

You guessed it it was The No Results Group.

All I had to do was give them $299 and they would set me up with a Website give me Overstock and for $100 more a peice Amazon and Windows Casino. Plus for another $79.00 which they would waive they would give me voices on my site, I was told it would help keep people there longer. Plus I had to pay $19.95 a month for four months Site Maintence.

I told them I could'nt afford all three just set me up with Overstock for now, they said OK, I thought cool I'll be making Money in no time. Hey I'll finally be able to take care of my wife and stay at home. HA (GUESS AGAIN} The nightmare was just beggining, and is STILL going strong.

They would walk me through everything, Paperwork and the like and I'd be all set. In a few days I'd get my papers in the mail, fill them out send them back, and in about a week I would get a phone call telling me my site address, codes and the like, and from then on it would be on auto pilot.

Well after I sent my paperwork back in, A couple of weeks later I got a call from my so called coach to see how it was going, I was told they had to have another $1900-$3000 for advertising, Or they could'nt do much for me. The Advertising they'd take care of as I was told in the call, just would'nt work. And without more money I might as well forget it.

I told them to give me my Money Back, I was called almost every name in the book, told I would have to wait and talk to A supervisor to recieve my refund. I'd be recieving a call in a couple of days. I waited almost a month no call back.

So I decided to call them back, after many unanswered Emails. I talked to a supposed supervisor who said he'd give me back half my sign up fee, WHICH I yet wait to recive. 3,000 promised visitors to my site, Amazon free of charge, and if I did'nt did'nt like the results, I could call back and recieve the other half of my money back in full.

Well I found out I can't make A refund request until 6 months is up, and I must file within 30 days after this minus any monies earned, then I would get my refund.

I've never got my Amazon link, I've seen no increase in my site Traffic which is always been Zero. I can't access my account to even see if I even have any site traffic to begin with. But since I've recieved no Check from anybody, I can only ASSUME there is none. It's out there in CyberSpace just sitting there collecting Cyber Dust.

Profiting NO ONE but you guessed it The No Results Group. They got my $299+ and I show nothing but a much lighter pocket.

And this is just the HIGHLIGHTS Folks. Theres alot more to it then this. As the old Song goes They Got the Goldmine, and I got the Shaft.

Don't be a FOOL like I was. If you get anytype of call or mail from them, Rip it up, Hang up or whatever. If you give them any money you might as well KISS it Goodbye, Because like me you'll probably never SEE it again.

Well FOLKS. I guess I got LUCKY??? They were finally kind enough to REFUND $150.00 of the $299.00, they Scamed me out of. They said the other $149.00 was never Promised to me, after my Six Month Trial Period. Since they were so SWEET and let me out of the contract EARLY, and gave me back the first $150.00 early. They told me that They were even going to be So kind as to let me Keep the Site, and that with a little work I could still MAKE MONEY??? Well this may be True BUT? I can't even get into see any of My Stats. So WHY WOULD I want to keep plugging away, trying to sell something, from a site that I have NO IDEA is even making any money to begin with? For all I know I'm making MONEY, and their keeping it, And I'd never know the difference... I MAY have been STUPID ENOUGH to fall for the Garbage they fed me at first. "BUT" I'm not STUPID enough to take the RISK of them being so Honest enough that if I actually did make anything, that they WOULD be so KIND as to send me what was rightfully mine. They say if I don't make any money, they won't either. To this I say TOUGH... Let that GREAT Site they gave mr sit there and COLLECT Cyber Dust, for all I care. Who made money on this deal??? After all I paid $299.00, and only got back $150.00 of it. And they still have my other $149.00. So WHO made money off of this deal? It sure wasn't me. It seems to me they made $149.00, and I lost $149.00. Do the MATH. Anyone who can do 2+2 can tell it wasn't me who made money. But the one who made the Money was the NO RESULTS GROUP!!! While I agree with the Last Rebutal that was made to my Post. That What did I expect for $99.00??? I wouldn't mind it so much. Being an ALL NIGHT SUCKER, and losing on this, I could Chaulk it up to my OWN STUPIDITY and live and let live. If Only they Kept their Story Straight between Customers, Or Is IT "VICTIMS"??? You Decide which it is... But look through all of the Post Here, and you'll see that Each Story is different. Everyone was Only entitled to a Certain Refund, But none of them were the same in any of the cases, but different. I can start my Own website, My own Webpage, and control who I deal with, and keep tabs on what I make, and what I don't. And not have to Pay Some Dishonest Company, to tell me what I have to spend, and what not. Sure I know it'll take some WORK. I've never been afraid of a little bit of HADRWORK. But if I succeed It'll be because of My Own Work. And if I fail It'll be Because I messed Up. Not because of Some Company that Wants "ONLY" My Money. And does'nt "CARE" if I ever get anything Back. If I get anything Else done about my other $149.00. I'll let You know. But to sufice it to say, it's $149.00 I'll probably NEVER See Again. So Much for the "HONESTY" of My Fellow Man....

Buddy what did you expect for $99.00??? I use to work for The Results Group as an outbound rep then inbound and then I took calls from reps who couldn't get people like you to sign up through them. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! What did you think you were gonna get for $99? A full marketing team?? You got a web site and a coach and a chance to make money. It takes TIME, ENERGY, SKILL, AND KNOWLEDGE to make money. You have to actually put the time into this program like I KNOW they told you that you would have to do. The website they give you for $179.00 (including the $19 for 4 months) is worth it. Now go out there and advertise, taljk to your coach try different things!! Did you think you were gonna get rich off $99 and not have to do anything? The people who don't make money doing this are the people who don't lift a finger LIKE YOU EXPECTED YOU COULD DO! GET REAL people like you don't have the will or brains to start your own business so good for The results group and Ed for getting that $99 out of your pocket. This is the real world and I know you DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT but the jokes on you!! Paul S. (aka SB (hahaha))

First, let me explain something to this victim. Depending on how you paid, you may still receive a refund by going through your bank. If you paid with a credit card, they can do a chargeback. Now, the internet scam. This is known as the web site counseling con. The idea is to clean you out by pretending to sell you an e-commerce web site. The truth is that only a small percentage of sites actually make money. I estimate the actual number of profitable sites is less than 1% of the total e-commerce sites. There is a reason for that. First, most people don't have a good source (China) of wholesale merchandise. In fact, most web cons will offer you merchandise that is priced far above wholesale, much closer to retail. So, that's problem number one. Find a source of things that will sell, at a price where you can actually make money. Problem number two is getting people to come to your site. That takes money. Today, you will have to pay to get people to look at your site. The days of free traffic are all gone. Next, you need to convert that looker into a buyer. That's not so easy. Froogle might have a lower price somewhere else. Or, maybe the buyer is afraid to use their credit card online. There are lots of reasons people don't buy online. Then, assuming you get a sale, is it legal. There are millions of people using stolen credit cards. Plus, those who will charge back legitimate sales. The scams will lower any profit you might actually make. And last, is your site profitable? By the time you actually pay all the costs, and make some sales, then do the shipping, what's left? You can easily do $5,000 a month in gross sales, with just $500 in profit. That works out to $125 a week. If you plan on selling something on the internet, it better be a unique craft that you produce yourself. Or, maybe a service. But, almost every service you can name is already out there. So, what's left? How can you make money on the internet? About the only sure way is to run a scam. That's why there are so many going on. If you have to actually produce or deliver something real, and you have to compete with millions of other sites which are all doing the same thing, it'll be almost impossible to actually make a decent profit. That's what all the con artists realize now. That's exactly why they're running the web site con, instead of running the web sites they brag about in their phony ads. I'll tell ya', if you can find a sure way to make a good living on the internet, you're doing better than 99% of the people out there.

Started my ENDLESS Campain The Results Group Scottsdale Arizona

Tue, September 27, 2005

Well FOLKS. I started what I feel is most likely a USELESS series of Emails, to be sent Everyday to The NO Results Group, requesting a refund of my Money "AS PROMISED" to me by them... Which I'm also planning at least weekly phone calls to them as well. I don't know if it'll do any good BUT I'm gonna try, Hey after all I've nothing to LOSE. They've already got my Money, I've got nothing but a Website out there collecting Cyber Dust somewhere. I certainly haven't got the threat of losing any money owed me by them, Because I have yet to recieve my First Check from them to begin with. HEY who knows if I use their 800 number enough MAYBE I can at least in someway get my money back. If I make them spend it on my 800 calls at least they won't have it to fatten their pockets... Just call it my way of getting my Pound of FLESH. I'll KEEP you Posted.

Still ain't "GOT SQUAT" The No Results Group Scottsdale Arizona

Any number of times Since my Posting, I've tried in earnest, to GET The No Results Group to refund me my money... lol Well "GUESS WHAT" just like all the other post I have gotten the Old SONG n DANCE routine. That you'll have to wait to the end of your SIX MONTHS before you can file a Refund Request... In my Post I had told you they had agreed to a 50% refund, then at the end of the six month period I would be able to get the rest refunded back to me. WELL I still am waiting for the First 50%, Plus 3,000 promised Vistors to my Site, yada, yada, yada..... My 6 months ending Date is 09/23/2005, According to what they told me the last time I was lied to. This also agrees with my records... But it wouldn't SURPRISE me a bit, if they try to move it back some... Anyone Reading this has ever heard the OLD SAYING: "A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED" I was that fool, don't Join the Club and if anyone from the No Results Group gets in contact with you. HANG UP-Don't Listen to them, Or you may be the next one Posting here beside me... I'll Keep you posted... Wish me LUCK, I'm gonna NEED IT!!!
