Global Fortune Network review: Non-refundable initial money 57

We request a refund us Justin Rahn immediately please. We have been so stress. It is so hard to save $6000 today. We have been taken for over $6000 on Ad Campaign program 1200 Leads/60 hours agents on phones. = monthly feeof $24.95 4 months now since Aug 1, 2011. Justin Rahn ran our charge card and Cole Jennings sold us a biggest stories. We were told (3 pages of our notes) by Cole we will be pay in 40 days and expect 4-6 pay checks. Said please help him so he has 11 affiliates on board for the month... He said as long as he work for the company as Vice President of Sales never once people didn't get what they invested back with guarantee repeating ad if not make back 25% Later said oh one guy had to have us redo new ad campaign repeated 3 more months for him because earnings was few dollars off from $6000. Cole said Agents will take 1.5 apps per hours or they will be fire. We will have 1.5 apps x 60 hrs = 90 apps x $200 Earn $18, 000 + residuals. WOW! convincing right. You come come down to AZ our office I will personally give you a tour. We watched 30 days goes by...60 days 5 apps, 90 days 10 apps and no check! And per each app said we will earn $200 each. but Customer Service said no, not until client starts paying. Last time spoke to a live person Aug I think said 5-8 apps no one start making payment yet. Most of them don't make it or qualify looks like. He was convincing and use his family values, work ethics to sell to you. Than boom once you paid...then he tells you to call customer service. We been asking for our refund back by email. No one has contact us.

Although i must say i was very pleased with the way company works and how they dealt with me. And Justin has always been very honest with me.

Hey, Justin

YOUR THE BIG SCAMMER! WHY DON'T YOU PUT YOUR REAL NAME

I was scammed by this company at least twice. I can't believe I've been scammed again. The last time I was called, I was assured I would not get called by someone asking me to pay for more advertising. I was given the "personal" cell phone number of the person who sucked me in. Seemed like a nice person. So what happens? I get called by a "coach". And what did he want? Thousands of dollars from me to advertise. When I told him I was broke and had to sacrifice food in order to try this "reputable" company, he said he couldn't help me out and hung up. I then try to call the "personal" cell phone of the person who sucked me in, and her phone "was not accepting any calls". I filed a dispute with my credit card company as soon as I received the packet in the mail which reminded me that these people scammed me big time before. So what happens today? I called the company and dumped on them, told them I was lied to, what I received was not what I was told I would receive. So what happens about an hour after I voiced my complaint with Global Fortune Network? I get called by a new "coach", his phone was fuzzy, couldn't understand him, and I told him I didn't want coaching, I wanted my money back. He told me I was a confused person and hung up on me. So I call the number on my caller ID and got a voice mail message saying "welcome to Web Media Blogging"... another rip-off I got sucked into. I left a message that I was not too happy being insulted like that. Then I call customer service at Global Fortune Network and told them what happened. I was told that "Web Media Blogging" was one of their "Sister Companies". I am now trying to figure out how many names are involved with this company... seems they have a network of scam artists all going by different names, These guys are hard to track down and post all kinds of "testimonials" and respond to this complaint board saying they are doing great! I wouldn't trust this company if my life depended on it. My advice and my promise to myself... NEVER, NEVER, NEVER trust ANYONE who calls you on the phone with an "Opportunity". I've fallen for this way too many times and I'm of the opinion that there is not an honest company out there. Not credit card companies, Not banks, not Government "Consumer Protection" agencies, Not our laws which protect the crooks- not the victims. Not quite street smart, but getting there.

This is a big scam. The people writing positive things about this company are obviously people who work for the fake company. This company can not be real because it consistently calls me every other day and consistently tells me to work for them and I keep telling them that I am not interested. Do not give these people your number because they will call you everyday. One person I talked to from the company told me they had 5 different shops all over the world, then another person I talked to from the company said they only have 2 shops. Any body with some sense will know that this is a scam because they want you to work with them more than you want to work with them. After reading this if you still do not think this is a SCAM ask them this "WHERE DOES THERE REVENUE COME FROM" and they will dance all around the question and never answer it. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS 'FAKE' COMPANY!

I myself am an employee here at GFN. I myself have worked in a lot of different positions in sales and have unfortunately worked at some HBB's in the past that were not what they said there were, hence why I left. I do have a family to support but I have to do with honesty and integrity, just the way I was raised I guess. Point being that I work at this company over any of the others I know of out there for one reason, OUR CLIENTS THAT ADVERTISE THE BUSINESS ARE ACTUALLY MAKING REALLY GOOD MONEY! If your skeptical give it a shot, I'll tell you one thing, if there was not rules within the company against it I would sign up my family members in this, however since I can't I encourage anybody that knows any business takes work to succeed, to give it it a try. I know you will be impressed. Mike

As a blooming skeptic I can only say, Who can you trust? Conflicting info is all over, good, bad, indifferent and unless you personally know someone and could see exactly what they went through, there's no guarantee the information being shared is truthful or accurate! There is no guarantee the positive post are not from the scammers themselves. Having tried numerous, " Home Based Businesses" myself with no success I can only hope that somewhere out there, in the great big cloud, I will find something that is legit, ethical and works for me! I hope the right one is GFN . Good luck to those who simply have to stay at home..

So from what I see here is a couple complaints from people that didn't buy anything and say how they "think" it is a scam. Also being a salesman myself I honestly believe that the only reason somebody would become rude during a salles call is if they felt that the person on the other line is what we call a "stroker", meaning somebody with a lot of questions with no intention on buying. Now to peter who claims we should call a federal agency to report this company or a1b2c3 who says they think it is a scam becasue of the non refundable charge. All I have to say is this. I have bought many home buisnesses in the past, most of them failed and some worked. This one however is honestly the only one that has ever worked exactly the way it was explained to be. I bought in for $275 as well as an agreement for $24.95 for a monthly hosting fee of my website. The first marketing specialist I spoke too was a very polite gentlemen, being a salesman I asked him to get right to the point and explain the different price points he had for advertising. I bought into the call center and I am not one to brag but I am very satisfied with the results. Around 5 weeks later I started receiving commission checks for the advertising that I am doing and I am already well above into the profit zone. I have been an affiliate for 6 months and plan on purchasing more advertising through them very soon. All in all Global Fortune Network is the best business opportunity I have ever been involved in. I have bought hundreds, finally I found the one that changed my life for the better. Thank you GFN!

Please someone from the FBI, SEC, or Phoenix Police come in and bust these people. These crooks need to be stopped and America needs to be warned. I was taken by a scam coming out of Phoenix in 2007 under the name New Age Marketing Solutions and someone a year later said they can get my money back, all I had to do was send them money.

This company has a very unprofessional person working for them named Jeremy. He was rude and slanderous. He called me up telling me about this opportunity. Told me it would cost me like $400. I told him that I didn't have that kind of money to just be spending on it. He said he had some deal where he could knock it down to around $200. I told him that I would have to research the company and discuss it with my husband. As far as the research he said I wouldn't find anything bad about the company but he understood wanting to research it. He called me back the next day but I did not have time to look it up. I work three jobs and had only enough time to sleep. I also hadn't had a chance to discuss it with my husband. He asked if I could look it up... I went to the computer to look it up while on the phone with him and found some bad reports. I told him once again I would have to discuss that kind of investment with my husband. He basically said I didn't need my husbands permission. He said that he was sure I spend more than that on getting my hair done and clothes. I let it slide a little. Told him that I am not like that and do not spend ridiculous amounts of money on such stuff. I also do not allow my husband to spend that kind of money without discussing it with me and I will not without him. Well, that was about a month ago. This morning he called me back. I told him I was not interested about three times. Finally, he said thanks for wasting my time and hung up. Well, my husband was right next to me and called the guy and childishly said you suck and hung up. The guy called back. My husband answered the phone and he said that my husband was a wife beater and thats why I wouldnt invest. My husband was furious. He asked for his manager. He said that he was the manager. The man continued to say slanderous things before the phone call was ended. If the rest of the company is anything like this employee, then I hope nobody invests into this ridiculous company.

Any Affiliate business has to be worked. If you are not willing to work it, just say no. On the other hand, if you are willing to put in the 5 hours a week and invest in advertising as they suggest right up front, then it is worth joining. What do you expect them to give you a free ride? When you join as an affiliate, you pay a small fee to come aboard. You make that back when you sign up your first person. Better yet, they give you the first 6 people while they train you, so really you are paying nothing down and making money from the other five they brought aboard, plus they are training you for nothing. Secondly, You make a commission on each person's amount of debt as a bonus over a period of time. That adds up to a nice chunk of change. They also protect your territory so when you do advertise in your area all the people that sign up go to you in that area, no competition. Get the true facts before you lambast a company. The comment before mine tells you that he/she made in excess of $135, 000. just last year with Global Fortune Network. Does that look like a scam to you? It doesn't to me either. I am willing to put in the time and do the work. I just signed up yesterday. I will come back to this site after I have been with the company and tell you how I am doing. But remember, it does take work to succeed in any business. Next time take the call and listen to the rep.

Nope. You are quite wrong. I have done quite well with Global Fortune Network, earning in excess of $135, 000 just last year. Does it take a little effort? Sure, what doesn't? It is much better than digging a ditch or working as a welder? You betcha. I followed their instructions in a timely manner and within a month and a half, the checks started rolling in. I work maybe three hours a day, five days a week, and earn three times what I did when I worked full time for a manufacturing firm. This has been the answer to my prayers. I can only assume that the people who are dissatisfied must have expected to just go out to the mailbox one day and find a guy standing there with a million dollars. Not quite that easy. But it's close.

I believe this is a joke. They make it sound like they just need an affliate in their area and there isn't much you need to do. No selling anything, no talking to people and then the next guy calls after you purchase it and it's a whole different story. You have to hand out flyers to get business, put ads in papers and you can buy leads if you want. Big waste of my time and money. Just hang up on them if they call you!

I believe it's just another scam coming out of Phoenix. They have called me for over 6 months now and I have asked over and over to be taken off their list. I have explained to them that they are wasting my time as well as theirs by calling me. Phoenix is a well-known hub for these type businesses. If they keep calling you after you have expressed no desire whatsoever for their business op, this sends a definite red flag to me. I am so tired of this company calling me and I am on the Do Not Call List but they say they have rights to call because they are exempt from that list. I just hope to help get the word out that NO DOUBT this is a scam. The people are rude and get offended when you nicely tell them you are not interested. One guy even told me to just not answer the phone when they call. LOL! I have a business and clients call from all over, plus those scam artists call from different numbers and area codes and sometimes from an unknown number. Keep your money and invest in something worthwhile!
