Complaint Rating:

In 2/24/09 I responded to an ad in the Internet. The initial contact played a tape. My understanding was that I was to solicit businesses to install their brand of credit card machine, which would be cheaper than what they (customer) is paying now. After I was turned over to the supervisor it became apparent that it involved much more direct selling. I have bad knees and bank and am scheduled for a knee replacement in 1-2010. Nevertheless it seemed I could work this from my home with no further outlay. Shortly thereafter I received a phone call from a co. which takes your money and send out a "blst" of offers to various addresses they get from a marketing source. In otherwords, the more names sent out the greater chance of getting interested prospects, but at approx. $1 per name. I could not afford this. After seeing that I could not afford to buy advertising and my limited contacts with businesses I finally talked with who I assumed to be a manager, who said that if I wanted out I could do so. Unfortunatelt, not seeing their initial $50 charge I thought it had been dropped but I now notice that I did pay it in 3/2009. Tonight I was asked to sign some papers and return them so that I would not be charged a mo. fee.Theses included credit card charge papers I never saw although I did charge the initial material.
This business is misrepresented and for $150 one gets a folder of a few avertising materials but no training materials. There is always the push to buy advertising.
This co. also says they loan businesses money at substandard rates.
