I have wanted to start a business from home for a while now.
I need to have the flexibility. My friend saw these books called Advertising Profits from Home By Anthony Morrison, which is supposed to teach you about affiliate marketing, and thought I might be interested in them. I ordered the books and some tapes and got on my way. A few days later, I started receiving calls from a company named Coachingedu.com. They're called Coachingedu.com now. They spoke about the books by Anthony Morrison and told me that thats why they were calling and wanted to know if I was ready to get my business going. Like I mentioned earlier, Ive wanted to start a home based business and was excited about finally doing it. Even with my husbands objections I pressed on. I was told that I need to just pay a startup fee/coaching fee of $6,250 and everything else was included. I paid the fee and was read a verbal contract on the phone. It was amazing the feeling I got afterwards. I really thought that maybe in several months that my husband and I would have a nice supplemental income coming in and living from paycheck to paycheck would be a thing of the past.
I started doing online coaching sessions which were difficult to navigate through and hard to understand in the first place. After a few weeks of my online sessions, I started receiving more calls. First from Tax Club then came Income Solutions LLC and Free & Easy. All of them wanted more money from me. More money, for what? I was told I only had to pay that one fee and that was it. The man I spoke to on the phone was very adamant that I needed the service or my dream of having my own business was not going to happen. I eventually gave in. All the services they claimed I NEEDED for my business, were never even provided. In total I spent a total of $16,500 and I was never even taught about affiliated marketing. The worst part of all was that I didnt even know who I was dealing with anymore. What started as coachingedu.com turned into Wealth Information Network then Tax Club. Who WERE these people? I started second guessing my decision to do all this. So I contacted Coachingedu.com to get some answers. ANY answers really explaining what was happening. I explained to the representative that I had not received any of the services that they promised to me and that I was being coached on something called drop shipping, not affiliated marketing like I wanted. I told him that I was angry about this and that I feel like I paid $16,500 for NOTHING! He then started to scold me on not being grateful for the coaching and information that
I was given on drop shipping. What I paid was nothing compared to what others had paid as I only received the basic program.
I called the Wealth information group, turns out that a company named PMI was the name of the coaching group. I asked if Wealth Information and PMI were associated with Anthony Morrison as I had been told. I was told that they were not affiliated in any way. I then called The Tax Club and was told that they were not affiliated with Anthony Morrison at all and that Wealth Information gave them my name. I dont understand any of this. Ive researched coachingedu.com and these people really know how to cover their tracks. I did find places where others were being ripped off as well. Tax Clubnot so well. Although they all seemed to be linked together in some happy scam artist family. Whatever they want to call themselves , I still want my money back from them. ALL of them!!!
I was told about this law firm that could help me get my money back and I was a little leery at firstnaturally. I spoke with my husband about it and he explained to me that it wouldnt do any harm in calling. I spoke to Roy at (954) 603-1860 ex. 30000, who is a dream to work with. I didnt have to pay anything upfront. I had hoped that getting my money back would have been easier. Maybe it was just because I was so used to dealing with these criminals from Coachingedu.com, Tax Club, PMI, Anthony Morrison, that I just didnt give them more credit for actually coming through and doing their job. Unlike some companies I know. All and all it was a success! THANK YOU ROY!!!! You saved me from complete ruin. My husband Ralph thanks you, my kids and grandkids thank
you.
