The next week all of these strange charges started showing up on my debit card. Now I am not saying these charges were from this company but it just seemed strange. $10 here, $11.99 over there – to the tune of about $100.00. It took me all week to track down all of these charges and I was able to recoup most of this money back so no real harm done.

My training was to begin on the next Saturday at 11:00 am my time and the trainer would call me. Well, guess what – no phone call. Now I am a fairly patient person but after the credit card problems and finding out that I needed to pay them another $100 a month – my last nerve got stepped on and I got very angry.

I did some very in-depth research and all the websites that were shown to me on the BBB website – were now listed with another company or just were not there. There were several complaints against this company and so I immediately canceled my debit card. I then started calling the numbers I had – no one answered or I either got voice mail. I left a very hot message threatening an expose article – it got their attention and I got a call back within 5 minutes. This led to a very rude and threatening conversation in which I terminated the call especially since the guy named Brian refused to let me get a word in edge wise. Not a very business like manner for a VP of a savings and loan company to use. I was told they had me on tape. Now why would a company selling products to independent agents with each agent having their own website – need to tape all our conversations? I was also told that I am one of those people that want to "lie on the couch and do nothing" and have the money roll in. Well, Brian you obviously don’t know me very well at all.

So, I have some advice that will hopefully save others like me a lot of time and money.

* Most Internet businesses are scams. For every 1 that is legit, there are 9 that are scams. * There are no get rich quick businesses – starting your own business is hard work and you will spend a lot of hours to be successful. * If the 3rd or 4th questions from them is do you have a credit card. Hang up! * If the focus of the business is for you to bring on more people rather than selling the product – that is a version of a pyramid scheme and pyramid schemes of any type are illegal by federal law (check it out for yourself). * (In my opinion), if you get a call from Steve, Brian or Curtis from a company out of Nevada calling itself Greatest Business or Great Business Opportunities – hang up immediately.
