This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I got a call from Merita and she tried to make me join ourgv.com
she called several times and asked me to see some senseless videos.

she managed to get my debit card number and charged me $25 for nothing.

After months, I got to know that they are charging $30 everymonth from my account for website maintenace.

I fought a lot to get my 3 monts charges but I couldn't get back my $55 ( $25 + one month fee).

This is same like Quixtar.

This is more a feedback than a compaint.

Thanks

I am actually a member of OurGV and I love it...I get to work from the comfort of my own home and on my own time. There is a $30 monthly hosting fee, but that covers the cost to maintain my website, and just my profit sharing check alone covers that fee. The videos on the website are not senseless...we are helping non-profits around the world raise the funds they need. There are some home based businesses that are good for nothing, but OurGV is not one of them. To find out which non-profits we are already helping, you can go to www.ourgvrewards.com :)

I have been with OurGV for over 6 years. The videos are very helpful and an excellent training tool. For what you receive for your $30.00 a month, it is well worth it! For $30.00, you receive the following: 5 trainings a week from the comfort of your home, a shopping call/overview from the comfort of your home, a Fast Start Training from the comfort of your home, a shopping mall, a toolbar, access to being put on a world wide map for more exposure, a website made just for Non-Profit Organizations. Go to www.ourgvrewards.com to see what Non-Profits and Website partners are using our tools!

The Complaint above from Buddy234567 is not accurate. I have been in the company from day one over 7 plus years and I love Ourgv as a home business career for me and my family. I have earned income every week I put work into my business with my efforts for over 7 years. It is the Finest Home Business found on the Internet second to none. Ourgv has a Free option so anyone who ever invests in the business would need to study and work the business to earn results. Anyone can complain who does not put effort or work at any business, because its a True Business not a job work and personal growth are a must. Thank you. Mark

To the naysayer regarding OurGV.com, you couldn't be more wrong. I love this company and that I work from the comfort of my own home. I was laid off January of this year. I went on numerous job interview with companies offering me positions with pay cuts, some in excess of $15-$20, 000. By the beginning of March, I was almost ready to accept the latest offer when I received a call from an OurGV affiliate. I was skeptical at first, but I listened as she briefly explained what the company was about, it's goal, and how I could make money from home. I signed up for free, sat in on several training sessions, and decided I wanted in. I invested $500 in my own website. At first it was slow, but after about a month, the money started coming in. I am now averaging about $2, 000 per month, and I'm working from the comfort of my bedroom, or in my kitchen when I'm cooking dinner. OurGV.com is the best thing that has happened to me, with respect to earning income. I will NEVER work for Corporate America again. I would recommend OurGV.com to anyone who is fed up with the corporate rat race. I would suggest one thing: before starting, spend a few weeks listening to the training. The affiliates are experts in this type of marketing and there is so much to be learned. Try it!

It is not for everybody and if it is not for you then you should not go around dogging it. You had to have given your debit card, someone can not get it with out you giving it. You obviously did not want to put in the effort necessary to make it work for you. This is not a "sit on your rump and rake in the money scheme" You have to work and promote it. It is an INCREDIBLE concept to HELP Nonprofits and People. I Love This Company. They do not Pressure you at All! It is up to you to make it work for you. You can even get started for FREE! There are people starting for free and making it!

I have been in the home business arena for 2 years now and I have been involved with alot of different companies in that small span of time. Most all the other companies out there are just product based. OurGv is 100's of 1000's of products. "Save Money Save The World" Is our motto and OurGV IS THE EASIEST home business I have seen. OurGV has the highest integrity I have seen and gies you the best chance for success. Buddy234567 I am sorry to say if you join any business and just don't do anything you will not succeed. You need to look in the mirror and say I don't like what I see and change things! Call Marita back and join the OurGV Movement you should still have your spot in the profit sharing! Good Luck!

Well I would have to say that this is by far the most legitimate way to work at home, I started with ourgv as a free affiliate, within a week after viewing the webinars i started as a preferred its only time until I invest in my New Family/business and become a coordinator.. way to go ourgv.com you are the best and i hope to see my life change from this as well as everyone elses. Save the world working for non-profit organizations. while making an income of your own! http://www.ourgvmall.com/Shopping/ShopMall.asp?SI=53225&SBI=0 -- Shop for a reason not for yourself, , like non-profit organizations ;) but dont forget to buy something nice for yourself every once in a while

I agree with the complaint. For one OURGV policies and procedures are too long and repetitive which from my experience as a network marketer it indicates there is something fishy about this opportunity.

Second there are way too many complaints on Google about this company so if you are about to join I suggest you keep digging through Google and do your diligence due.

Lastly make sure you understand your compensation plan. How much work you have to do before you can really start making any money.

well i was not convinced it is real easy to get one of their workers to say something good about the company it seems like a pyramid scam to me i have seen the website and it looks all legate but i have seen companies like this before and you end up giving them more money than you make for yourself and i know it says it is for non profit organizations. but that can be just a front i have dealt with fake companies before and i am still not convinced this one is real i mean no harm it is just from my past dealings that make me feel this way.

I don't really use this site, but I want to let people know that a lot of the people that are arguing in support for OurGV have only used this site to make a single comment. It could be the same person from OurGV that googles their name once in a while and pretends to be other people leaving positive comments to get more people to sign up. I have a family member who wanted me to sign up, but I'm skeptical as for most things. First sign should be that the website, for being about a decade old, looks like it was built by a high school student just learning HTML. You would think a company that supposedly has legitimate connections with the market could pay for a good website that plays an important factor to their marketing campaign. Just be cautious of posts supporting some of these guys. You do not know who is actually posting and for what reason they are making these posts.

These post may be from the same person, I thought about that my self also I am doing my homework, before joining OurGV, I received a call also from a lady about this company, because I am looking for legitimate home opportunities; which are few and have not found one yet in almost a year! There are too many scams and they want money up front etc. Yes, Our GV, they call, want you to look at videos, be on the meeting website etc. The last meeting was talking about working with Non-Profits, still all I can figure out is you will be shopping and searching stores; and receive a discount or percentage when others you refer shop, I have not joined yet its been three days of looking into Our GV, and now the lady said it will be $30.00 to start get your own website to refer people to, I told her I 'm still vague on what Our GV is about, because I have not seen the shopping part, the stores only how they search on the web, and how to contact Non Profits which, I am experienced working and Volunteering with Non Profits anyway ; the information in that online meeting still did not help to really know this business, she still suggested that I listen to another meeting online tonight, this is the fourth day now; Do they know if they wanted people to help in your business, give the people the right info. Within a limit amount of time, let the person get started making money first, then they will know it is legit. the people in the videos seems so honest, even the lady that call is friendly ; but after you have been scam and out of money, you always have that little nudge in your brain, saying wait, do your homework first, see what others are saying about the company first! also there is another Website so call opportunity'' called' Wealthy Affiliates, they have a lot of training you go through on their website ; your set your website free, by yourself for affiliate marketing, but while you are learning what to do, you will keep getting this pop! up saying you need to upgrade to be a premium member, in a certain time frame or you will not get all the training /coaching that you need to be in order be a affiliate marketer, With all this said lets keep doing our homework be Vigilant and aware!

They just used her name. Everything is done through email. And she always answers her phone. She also gives you her messenger and she won't scam you. She only gets paid if you get paid she gains NOTHING BY SCAMMING U. I'm so sad to see you that someone is using her good name to steal ur hard earned money. Furthermore no business opportunity has a price of $129. I wish u the best of luck and am so sad this happen to you. I don't work for them and I gain nothing for this comment. I'm just a mother of 6 my husband recently past away and came across this by doing my own research on the company. N I know for a fact that I have been talking to Marita for two days now and she has not asked me for any money in fact I wanted to start right away with the investment of almost $500 I don't remember the exact price, and she advised me to first learn the business.

All I can say is it's sad when you have been scammed before, then when a legitimate opportunity comes along we miss out. I know several who were desperately looking for a REAL opportunity but declined because they had been scammed so many times. There is nothing perfect on earth so if you are looking for perfection - in anything -sorry. But as for Ourgv it is a real A+ rated company. Hopefully, regardless of the complaints you will take another look. Also realize there are many other opportunities out there who will discredit another company, to get you in. There are no get rich quick, or push a button businesses out there other wise wouldn't everyone be doing it? As with any business you have to work it not just sign up and think the money is going to start rolling in, that doesn't even make sense. Look at the brick and mortar business they must put in money, time and sacrifice and hope someone comes in -But we think nothing of that. Yet to work from your home with a real business we think differently. This way of thinking is very odd.

I think people think when they hear " Make money from home " they are supposed to just get it handed to them !
You have to work for what you want...learn the business inside out and take your time if you need to. Not one person rushes you into anything, OurGV goes out of their way to train you, train your people, put up webinars for you to watch and have potential clients watch, they mentor you, call you, check in with you and follow through..

I don't know another company where the CEO's, the Executives or anyone else in the top five of a major company works hand in hand with you like that... If you do please share.

Until you really work the business and give it 200% do not knock it because of your flaws.

I am doing my research in to ourGV it's seemed ok at first but when I started getting the idea it was a pyramid because you would need to get more people to join in order to get up the chain. When I confronted this idea in conference they said pyramids are illegal and kicked me out. I don't mind investing some money but I just had a baby and I stay at home with her I don't have a dime. What really through me off is when the quoted J. Paul Getty I’d rather have one percent of the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent of my own efforts. If that doesn't sound like a pyramid then I don't know what. Every time I asked a real question they kicked me out of the conference. I like how everyone that is for the company is like you have to put in the work that's why it didn't work for you. I went there ready to put in 100% but apparently they rather me fin d100 other people to put in a little effort. If I'm going to do something like this I want to work not waste all my time shopping and bugging people to look at my website

Hi Siih, I just received the link from one of my network people on Linkedin, I am working under SFI for Global marketing right now. I have been with them for almost a year. There are no fees and they provide all your gateways. I was laid off my job and thought to join a couple online marketing sites. After reading all the comments I think I will pass on this one, and keep my investment with SFI for leveraged income in a couple years. I hope you find something you an enjoy and work from home.

I can't believe how small minded people can be about opportunities. I am not with ourGV, but am in the process of joining as it is one of the most ethical business models around! Firstly, for the guy using John Paul's example of 1% or 100% sounds like a Pyramid? If he knew what the defination of a pyramid was, he would see that this is NOT a pyramid. Companies who have a A+ rating with Best Business, come on mate, do me a favour! Secondly, if you could cash in the profits of 1 single pepsi dispenser, or 1% of the profits of 100 pepsi dispensers, do the math! Thirdly, the fact that you have a monthly outlay of $30, the last time I looked, businesses cost money, and I am of the opinion that this IS a business, which takes work and not whining about the work and investment. As far as "Good For Nothing" is concerned, what you need mate is a JOB, as you clearly don't understand business, and quite frankly don't qualify for one!

I am on the line! I have joined this as a free member. I have been watching the videos and going to the training calls. I got my first Red Flag this past week when I went to a training call where one of the millionaire speakers was on the call and addressed the call. Everything she said made perfect sense to me and I felt some degree of excitement until she said, "Please stay until the end of this call because I have a special offer for everyone on the call." Well, I stayed until the end of the call. The special offer was delivered and it was this: "If you join as a premier member today, by midnight, we will give you X number of leads and you will get a one on one training telephone call with one of our top executives. The cost for the premier package is $497.00. I don't have that kind of money just laying around. I would like to make enough money to have it just lying around but to date, I haven't found one program that works...period! I don't particularly care for this type of what I consider "Push Marketing". I don't like to be pushed into anything. I also think it is an unfair offer, because you only get this special treatment if you pay today! What if you don't have the money. Well, my sponsor called me and told me to borrow the money. Borrow $50 from 10 of your friends. Yeah right! Like that is an easy task. I have no friends that would lone me $50 bucks, then even if I did, how am I going to pay them back if I don't make any money right away. This was my first Red Flag on OurGV. Now I am not sure if I want to continue with them or not. I was told you could join for free and work it until you make the money to grow into the next level and so on up the line. I feel like they lied to me. It is a shame if they aren't real, because I love the concept of making money while helping other people. I just don't know what to do now. Should I continue working or risk the chance of losing money with OurGV?

OurGV is a scam for sure. Useless company They ripped me off of thousands and thousands of dollars plus $30 a month and all I got were ### little checks for $10 dollars every 3 months. They really screwed me out of my money and I got NO HELP AT ALL! THEY ARE THIEVES AND SCAMMERS. RUN AWAY FROM OURGV!

I agree with a lot of the skeptical commenters above. I randomly received a call from someone named Mark that is affiliated with OurGV a few days ago. It is a little fishy I'm not going to lie... I feel like I am being forced to do the webinar etc. It pretty much just sounds too forceful for it not make someone think twice. My objective is not spend money for work. I am not willing to invest anything at least until I know it really works. Therefore, since there are so many people with doubts there should be free trials where people actually make money while utilizing the trial period.

I agree with the naysayers, ourgv is part of an ignorznt club called "scam artistry incorporated" and needs such the starkest of all blacklistings in and throughout the whole entire universe, so now, by all means, it you plan on working from home, always, always ask about the following:

Ask for the company's street address.
Ask about your first payroll check's first arrival date in the mail and about the financial consistency of each and every paycheck ever, ever received.

The first silent "freeze-up" from them and/or the first "flip answer" from them ever, ever at all is a total red flag, that is just when to clam up, cut ties, end deal, hang up, tell all universe wide just to send such the starkest of all messages against every "scam artist" universe wide.

I was involved for a short time. My problem is that I was led to believe it was about the shopping mall, the toolbar etc.
What it's really about is the getting your team to join the NLL (Next Level leadership) trainings memberships and buying the leads packages this is where the real money for OurGV is made. the mall and tool bar is the hook but in no way are is the lion's share of anyone making real money.
