I must have opted in some website w/my name & phone # online because I've been searching to have a home based business. Anyway, this 800 # kept calling me and leaving me recorded messages on my phone until it became an annoyance, sometimes 3x's a day. So, after awhile I answered it and a guy by the name of Tony Vaz answered the phone saying that this company was affiliated with google and they were called the ''Google Money Club." He offered this business at a very high price of $697.00 for a website and coaching and so on and so forth. I said that I would like to check the validity of this biz before I buy and he said, "OK, but if you don't order now, you won't get the discount." So, I didn't follow my gut instinct, (I knew this was the wrong thing to do) but I gave him an ACH check over the phone as my credit card was maxed out. After I did this, I checked on him & found out that nothing was supposed to be and it was a scam.
The business was supposedly located in Mesa AZ, but their phone #'s had a Las Vegas area code...I panicked...
closed my checking account the next morning. I live on the East coast so their is a 3 hr. difference between them & myself. I left him messages the next day telling him not to cash my check, that he was fraudulent and he cashed my check anyway on an account with a zero balance and he put my account in the negative zone for $397.00 plus $78.00 overdraft fees. And I'm fighting for my money with this bogus company and the attorney general & consumer fraud of NY is on this as well. If I can't pay this money to my bank (if the company doesn't pay me, which I doubt they will) my credit will be bad and I may never be able to open an account with a bank again. I have a couple of medical conditions, I have a disability case pending and I thought I would get creative and make some money online. But this backfired.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Does any one know how to get my $$$ back from Tony Kenedy?
As a former employee of the company. I will answer a few questions listed in these other posts. Is this a scam? No. The potential does exist to make money with the business. Is the company totally forthcoming? No, once you join and your website is built, the company automatically show that you have had 1000 visitors. Are they real? No, they use that as a hook, a setup to spend money on advertising. That is where they really make their money. Knowing what I know about the company, would I join? Not even it if was free!
RED FLAG... first clue that these guys are lame is that they are in Mesa, AZ and there phone number has a Nevada area code. DUH
I have recently purchased the "silver" option, and admit that I havent folded alot of resources into any online advertising. I have received several ebooks, and how to's pertaining to the free marketing of my website supposedly from 1source. I have had my site up for approx a week and have 1200 hits on it.
Are these hits bogus? How do I get to my back office to check my comm's statements and if anything has been purchased?
Upon reading these posts, and the frustrations you guys are encountering, I feel it would be in my best interest to continue with the free marketing strategy at least until I make back my initial investment. Then I will begin the fold. I agree with the last sentence of the previous post.. "I will give this a bit longer".
About a month ago I maxed out my credit card and sent this one source corp five grand for advertising on the internet. They promised I would see a couple of thousand come back to me in about three weeks. I think there are people associated with this company all across the country because the guy that called me was Tony Kennedy and said we needed to advertise on the internet with postcards, keywords and search engines and that it would cost over 20, 000. But if I got into this now I could get grants from the company and it would only cost me 5000. When I did this the person that sent me the invoice for my 5 grand called from Wyoming. I'm not sure if I ever got calls from Mesa, Arizona. I will give this a while longer but I really need to generate some income.
You have to be with the company for a year before they will refund your money... as for knowing it's a scam it's hard to say cause you haven't tried it...
