Achieve Technologies
reviews and complaints

These complaints do not relate to Achieve Technology. "Achieve Technologies" is a different organization. The Achieve Technology copyrighted logo on this page, is incorrectly placed here. THESE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT RELATED TO ACHIEVE TECHNOLOGY.

I worked for Achieve Technologies for a while, but left because it quickly became painfully obvious that Achieve Technologies makes most of its money by taking advantage of desperate people through exaggeration, attempts at psychological coercion, and outright deception. At one point I got in trouble for not doing enough to maintain the deceptions created by the company's salespeople. I was so disgusted by the blatant immorality of the organization that, after hearing a particularly sad story from one of my clients, I simply could not work for them any more. I strongly recommend not trusting them with any of your money. Definitely don't trust any claims they make in response to complaints such as this.

Received 2 very basic lessons over the phone from vision le. who i assume are employed by Achieve. Realizing it was not for me i canceled my training program. Have not heard a thing from Achieve regarding a refund of any type. This company tell you lies from the off and if you stay with them they will empty your bank account in time. The tax club will phone you and ask for more money to set up limited company etc before you have even started your training.

In all fairness to the tax club they refunded 85% of my money when i canceled. I hope that Achieve Technologies will do the same. I do not expect anything for nothing but to be completely ignored is damn right rude.

On June 1, 2010, I received a call from Jeff Allbright regarding making money on the internet. I told him that I was unemployed and he said that I would be able to use the banks money to invest. I also told him that I had dialup and he said that it was not a problem. I signed a contract and authorized $9, 000 to be taken off of my discover card. On June 2, I received the online course, that I couldn't log in. I called Jeff and when he called me back, he said that the instructor would have to help me. Meanwhile, I received an email from a company wanting money to set up web sites and a call from a company wanting money to set up something for taxes. I thought that this was all included in the $9, 000.I sent emails back and forth to the company because they wanted to set me up with an instructor. On June 10, I received a call from the instructor and at that time I found out that I could not use dialup and about all of the extra expenses involved. I immediately told her that I was mislead and was cancelling. I sent a cancellation letter the next day. It was denied because I was not in the 3 day window. Who cancels something without trying it out first?. I didn't even have the class because I couldn't. I got a letter back from my credit card company with some company I never even heard from. No address, no phone number or no email address. I can't even contact them. When ever I called Achieve Technologies, I would get an answering machine and no call back. I believe Jeff Albright took advantage of me and misrepresented the product.

My complaint is with Achieve Technologies and The Tax Club.
I paid $US4, 600 to join the Achieve Technologies coaching program. Achieve Technologies promised to help me set up a website and train me properly until I made my money back.
It also said this in the contract (which has now mysteriously disappeared online) and they refused to give me a copy of the contract. Achieve Technologies failed dismally to keep their promise to give me adequate and quality training and never helped me make even 1 sale. They give a handful of short 30 minute sessions (13 in total) where barely anything of substance is covered and then they dump you and expect you to make sense of everything by reading their crappy webinars and articles, which by the way one can find online for free elsewhere. The website platform they use is amateur and I would be surprised if anyone could succeed with them as they look so unprofessional. They don’t care about the promises they make, so long as they can suck you in and get your money.
The Tax Club conned me into joining and I parted with over $US2, 500 plus paid exorbitant monthly fees for non service and non help. When I tried to get help they just ignored my emails and when I called them to help me set up an account in the US they refused and said they didn’t do that. This was despite tricking me into joining by saying they could set up everything for me and create a US based LLC for me. They did the paperwork and set it up, but refused to do anything after that. They seem to think that if they do a little bit of what they promised it entitles them to keep your money. I want them to be named and shamed and I want them to refund my money in full plus the monthly fees I paid as i got nothing from the membership.
The third company I have an issue with is Wealth Plaza- also based in Utah. I paid $US449 for their “coaching” and whenever I tried to set up a session they weren’t able to. They must have known that by being difficult I would get frustrated and give up on them. I am guessing that was their intention. Once they get the money they then know that nothing is going to force them to do anything, so they don’t have to budge. This makes me super angry and to add insult to injury they kept charging my credit card for hosting fees for cookie cutter websites that I was never trained to use, long after I advised them to stop doing so. After the 3rd or 4th time of sternly advising them to stop their thievery, they eventually stopped. I think they have a case to answer especially for the unauthorised credit card transactions.
All in all I want to bring these 3 dodgy companies to justice. They are clever at absolving themselves of guilt, but they need to be exposed for the liars and frauds that they really are. They are exploiting the desire of people to succeed online by tricking them into parting with their money in return for not fully delivering on what they promised in the pre sales talk.

I have never been involved or heard of such slime ball viper salesman in my life.
This is my story please read and heed. A free weeks ago I ordered the work from home package for $29, a few days later I was called by a fast talking slime ball salesman. He told me I need coaching to start my very profitable online business. He immediatly wanted info regarding my financial condition. I told him that I was unemployed at the time. He asked about my credit card. I advised him I had one and good credit limits.

He then went into the PITCH...that he wanted a commitment so I could talk to Nathan Hall the big internet guru! So my wife got on the phone as I was talking on speaker phone and she told the dude that it was a scam she believed. She has been doing internet marketing for years and knew the things he said was a bunch of crap. They had words but I went on and signed anyway with a $3, 500 charge on my credit card.

A day later I decided to rescind the contract and had it certified and sent to them as required in the three day period required. I advised them not to contact me again.

A few days later they called back to my home, I did not call them back. So, a few days later I received a call on my cell phone same slime ball salesman told me that Achieve tech WOULD NOT REFUND MY $3, 500! I asked why?

I was told that they had spent too much time already with me to refund my money. He told me I must go on with the program. He said if not, I would have to take them to court and cost me $2000 for a lawyer. I was coerced into signing another electronic contract which states that I hereby rescind the cancellation request that was sent to Achieve Tech on 1/20/20ll. The form says that from that point I was declining my option of cancellation.

I have no internet experience but was told I could make the $3500 in 3 months with no problem selling on ebay! I told them the reason I had chosen to cancel to start with is because of the F ratings they show on Utah BBB.

The slime ball said that the reason the rating was F is because they do not pay off the BBB like other companies. He assured me they were legit and had helped many successful folks with a home business.

He mentioned they would help build me websites. I said I just wanted to do the ebay now to pay off $3500 so to make a long story short. I was suckered in again.

I got my lst coaching call last night which was a total JOKE! The guy said he didn't sale on ebay. That he was not a part of the acheive technology he was with another company they do business with. He was no help whatsover told me to go to the videos and learn there. I have been so depressed over this here I am broke and in debt $3500 with no job and they have my money laughing all the way to the bank.

Why are these slime balls allowed to operate? I plan to file complaints with Attorney General, BBB, and all other authorities about this company.

The salesman are VIPERS! DO NOT TALK TO THEM HANG UP WHEN THEY CALL AND EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE SCAMMED SHOULD FILE COMPLAINTS TO STOP THEM...ALSO HOW ABOUT SMALL CLAIMS COURT I BELIEVE I WILL DRIVE TO UTAH TO GET IN THEIR FACE. It will cost very little to pursue these ### and I will be the one who does it...

Achieve Technologies promises to work with you until you get your website operational. Then you find out that you have a limited number of coaching sessions. They say that they offer Live Support to assist you in building your website. Live Support is often unavailable due to a lack of sufficient staffing. When you do reach them, they refer you to the Training Manual. If you haven't received a formal education in IT, the training manual may as well be written in Greek. If you think that you are going to have a website through this company, if that is the case. This company could work if you have a background in website construction. But why would you need this company then? If you don't have any background in IT, this company is not going to be of much help to you, and you should avoid it. You will learn more by viewing the eBay tutorials. And those are free. If you want a website and are a newbie as I am, invest the money that you are considering spending, in a professional company that will buil;d you a website. That is not what Achieve Technologies does.

This company known by Vision/Achieve Technologies/Omnisitebuilder
calls me and says to me: "I hear you want to make money on the internet?"
I had just lost my job, so I said "Yes". They said they charged anywhere from $3, 000.00 to $12, 000.00 dollars "for your business start up costs". They said $3, 000-$4, 000 was the lowest they could offer.
I said if I did it, it would have to be $3, 000.00. They said no problem, just put it on a credit card that is offering 0% financing for the first 3 months. The call ended on a satisfactory note. The next day someone else from the same company called me to lock in the sale. I told them I was unemployed and disabled, they said that my start up cost was $4, 000 and that I should lock in today and to put it on my credit card if I was seriously committed to making money online. I said $4, 000 was a lot of money for just information...and of course they said "knowledge is power"...they make it sound like they offer you a lot, but trust me they don't! But I was trusting them and thought I needed to make money online so I let them take my money. After they took my money, I asked them how I was going to get a credit card with 0% financing to transfer the $4, 0000 to. They said to just use my upcoming online business as self-employment and to estimate my income. I replied to them by stating that I didn't even know what my business name would be. They replied by saying I should wait until I am further into the program, (then I would know what my business name would be).

They also charge $10.00 for a domain name and Advanced Website Builder charges $39.95 a month so you can build the website!

For $4, 000 I could of had two professional websites built for me!
I certainly can't afford the $4, 000 charge or the $39.95 a month charge!
I am asking them to stop the $39.95 a month charge...from a look at other customer complaints I don't think they will!
These people don't care if they take your life savings, as long as they get what they want! They need to be shut down!

Extremely frustrated,

Robert Yates

Someone named Jeff Albright called me and told me I could make a lot of money with investing. I explained to him that I had dialup and that I was unemployed. No Problem!. Well, it was BIG problem. It required putting money each month that I didn't have. It turned out that it was an online training program and was not discolsed about the extra fees. I can't even use it because there is an instructor involved. No one calls back. I couldn't even log into the thing. Stay away from this company called Achieve Technologies. and JEFF ALBRIGHT. He is all bells and whistles and a backstabber.
