I was a victim of fraud from this company. I have been a single father for about 4 years now and just struggling to take care of my 3 children. One of which has MS. I had been looking online for home based business opportunities when I came accross this Dish Network and Direct TV deal. I was so excited at first I couldn't sit still. I told all of my friends and family about it. On 7/14/2010 I was contacted by a sales rep that had me listen to a 6 minute presentation about how great this program works and how I will make money. After listening to the rep once he came back online I said to myself "well this isn't really expensive and they are not asking for thousands to get started" so I paid the $59.98 to get started. Then once I my credit card was processed I got another call from Patricia Marese immediately trying to get me to buy some other sites that promote Amazon and ADT. I started to scratch my head at this point and then everything started to make sense. All these people were trying to do is just take whatever money they could from me and just run. They promissed the world and made claims of commissions but once my sites were activated I got no so-called help and COACHING. A couple of weeks pass and I get a call from this smug and borderline rude Marketing Consultant Richard Sosland presenting this advertising deal where I didn't have to do anything on my own. They would take care of everything. Richard made me feel stupid and borderline insulted my ability to properly provide for my children if I didn't take this option. After an hour on the phone he just wore me down. I then gave my credit card number over the phone to him and proceeded to buy this Pop Under program that Guarantess 60, 000 people will see my websites over the course of the next year. He also told me that the average response would be 1-3 percent on this type of advertising. He also told me that it takes money to make money. I spent $6, 000.00 that I didn't have and now I am left with my huge credit card bill. To date I have made ZERO SALES...NO MONEY...NOT EVEN A HINT OF SALES...I called back in and spoke with some guy Bertrand Nunny after complaining about my ZERO sales. I was nice and didn't swear at them but once this smooth talking, snake tongued Bert got on the phone he told me to give it some time. Let it roll. Take a chance. I can no longer sit by and watch these people make a fool of the public. This stuff doesn't work and you can buy pop-unders for a very minimal cost if you just search it out on Google. I made the biggest mistake of my life doing business with these scamm artists. They take money and provide nothing for it. I am now in the process of talking with the Telemarketing Fraud Division of the FBI and Arizona Attorney Generals office. I am also going to call my credit card company and file a Dispute. The fact of the matter is that I did sign something with them but no where can they provide me hard proof that my websites are even being marketed. They need to be stopped. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE OF YOU THAT READS THIS TO CONTACT THE FBI'S TELEMARKETING FRAUD DIVISION AND ARIZONA ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE (TERRY GODDARD) TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK. I AM ALSO GOING TO CONTACT A LOCAL RADIO STATION AND TV STATION TO HAVE SOMEONE GO OUT THERE AND SEE IF THEY ARE A REAL BUSINESS AND TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS. I WILL MAKE IT MY LIFES MISSION TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE STOPPED AND NO ONE ELSE GET'S SCAMMED BY THESE PEOPLE. YOU GUYS ARE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE. THE OWNERS CAN BE LOOKED UP AT WWW.BBB.COM...USOAG IS GOING TO FALL HARD AND FAST. LIKE I SAID I AM GOING TO MAKE IT MY LIFES MISSION TO MAKE SURE THEY SUFFER AND PAY FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO THE PUBLIC.

I am so thankful that I went to a particular site to find out about AOAG. At first I was excited but I said to myself let me check into this a little more. They let me hear the same message that everyone elser heard. Also they gave me tha same exact number, [protected], asnd the person gave his name Eric. once again I say that I am sooooooooooo glad that I didnt give these guys my credit card number or any thing else. I amso glad that God gives us all common sense.

Well, i agree with you Lori i just got a call from them and could not get a word in because the sales person was going on and on and on. First off my first HUGE red flag was how many times they say things such as no cost to you and the web sites are free.Ok guess they think i am five tell me if i am wrong? "hosting fee ? 19.95x2=39.99x that by 12 months= a whopping 478.80 a year at no cost to me. OKKKKK! So if anyone who is reading these and is wondering if you should join them one word RUNN lol.Really though i have looked into alot of these work at home jobs the only way to stay safe is research, research and more research because i have found out 10 times out of 10 98% are scams.Their calls are now blocked thank God they didnt get any money out of me.lol They hated the fact that i kept saying i dont have that kind of money right now or the fact that i kept saying i dont give out my credit card number to someone who calls me and ask for money with their number blocked.

READ THIS AND BEWARE You know me l don't warn people unless l am sure about something. This man called my girlfriend trying to sell her a dish network website on the phone, he was so rude and yelling at her when she didn't want to give him (His name-Brendan Brye) her credit card number to pay for this service. Even though she said she didn't want it. l took the phone and told him not to yell that this was turning into harrassment. He just kept yelling. So l hung up on him...Lori. l am glad l did cause l found out through this website how they riped other people off...

These people contacted me at 8:30 a.m. 11-23-10. Very pushy . After listening to the audio, I told the girl that I would get back to her, she just kept talking and finally I hung up on her. I needed to check them out. Glad I did. My next call will be to Direct TV to let them know what they are doing. Too bad people can't find a legitimate online business... looks like they are all scams. She did give me the 800 number, her name, Michelle Raimo and said she was in Tempe, AZ. [protected], which confirms the info. on the top of this Complaints Board page.

I have the same exact complaint, I signed up with UOAG since June and I have not seen a penny. They told me I could make money while I slept. I too have a situation where I need to be home for my Husband who has End Stage Renal Diease. I need to be available to him for various of things. I too spent more than $ 6, 000.00 and put it on my Discover Card. I called the credit card company TOO late to dispute it.I'm going to try again after reading "I GOT RIPPED OFF" letter. I will also contact Arizona's Attorney General. PISSED OFF IN PENNSYLVANIA!
