Strictly Business 1, Inc. reviews and complaints

I too had placed an order in June 2011 for two subscriptions and have not received any magazines to date, given that it is now January 2012. I have tried calling several times with many times the phone not working, and just today being able to leave a message to a strange voice mail that asks for a bunch of informaiton, including the $ that were "invested." I didn't invest anything! I paid for subscriptions that I was supposed to have received!

It is organizations/people like this that claim they are doing things to better themselves, that then puts a very poor light on others, and turns us off from wanting to assist in any future requests.

I was scammed out of $50 for Wired Magazine, never recieved subscription. Calling their office gets nowhere...
I did however do a WHOIS Lookup on the website stricklybusiness1.com, and it revealed that Lucius Pierce, the owner, is living at 2707 taylorcrest, missouri city, TX 77459. Also his cell phone is +1.[protected] Good Luck!

Wait one precious minute! Is strictly business cleaning up its act?
Here is my story. November 6th, 2012. It is a pleasant Tuesday afternoon in North Texas. I am excited about our country and the fantastic leadership and the positive direction we are going and hope to continue to go as a democracy. A young man is dressed modestly knocking on my door trying to sell magazines. I had no plans to buy any magazines that day but I chose to listen. He is very up front about his ambitions and shares a bit if his history of troubles he has had in the past. He is very optimistic and I am hopeful @ this point in the conversation that he is telling the truth. I pray a lot and I believe in people regardless of the book cover. I believed in this man and what he had to say. I was also very comfortable with the price of a two year subscription of two very good magazines: Reader's Digest and Taste of Home for a little over $100.00.
Well, he was patient with me waiting outside the door, as I called the company, and spoke to a gentleman and we got the finances taken care of over the telephone.
Second thoughts! I got a bad case of second thoughts and began to have a gut feeling I was being ripped off! It was Thursday, two days later when I began to research my decision and I went all the way with it calling my credit card company to put a stop on the purchase. Well, my defense mechanisms was don't get ripped off and my conscious was really getting the best of me.. The credit card company told me to call the company that handled the order and so I did. I left a message on the manager of the company's voice mail. I then prayed and my prayers were answered not the way you'd think! I received a call back from a man who was bitter but his bitterness had a message that I too had felt many times over my career. The message of doors being slammed in my face and the subsequent suppression from not being given an opportunity or worse given the opportunity and not the support of your peers. Regardless, my road to success has to be traveled on failure highway. I did not want to be part of that which I have been so many times victimized by. I wanted what this man wanted and I told him this deal is going through and when I start getting my magazines I am going to share this entire experience with others.
January is here and my prescription as promised is being delivered and I can not say enough about Strictlybusiness1. I hope that my story will give you hope but most of all I hope that you reach out more and more to people to feel the warmth and the joy of giving someone an opportunity to succeed, and it will come back to you. God Bless Wilson and Nigel for their honestly and integrity of holding up their end of the deal and may they remember to value each person they meet and continue the good work!

I also fell prey to this deceitful scam. I did receive a phone call from this RUDE, disgusting, unprofessional person from a number showing as [protected]. He actually hung up on me as his prfound arrogance and rude behavior made me threaten legal action. I placed an order with a young woman and my heartelt desire to help out someone who is attempting to get their life in order. TOTAL SCAM! I placed an order 2-23-11 and have yet to receive my order.

Contact Sonia Byrd at [protected] she is the former Office Manager for SB Magazines/Urban Success Inc. She does have current information on Lucius Pierce. She assisted me in getting a call back from him but I am still awaiting my refund.
