My mother and I attended the seminars for free lunch. And inevitably got suckered into their 6 site 4 $5000 deal. While they promised alot, in short.
1) Made no mention of their refusal to host adult content and terms to revoke packege if it was. Also looked the other way on 4 separate occasions this was our intent!
2) Their storefront builder SUCKS! while it has a few qualities it's missing so much I can only assume either a clever scam artist designed it or a complete MORON.
3) Their pushy for their $1000-5000 packages, that I now know I could get for a mere FRACTION of what we paid them, from other providers. One's who provide REAL software, REAL service!
4) They seem bent on nothing but pushing their scam with "SUCCESS" stories in order to help push their CRAP!Fortunatley they weren't counting on my VAST computer and internet skills, and my mothers WRATH! To anybody out there, Go for the lunch, BUT DO NOT BUY THEIR CRAP! I pity all the common people who bought into it who are barely compter or internet literate, and have paid the price.
And to stores Online, my revenge will be simple as telling the truth, and having the skill and know how to not let you get away with it!
On A more technical note,
1) the software is entirely internet based and really doesn't allow for quick construction. example) I can ONLY upload 1 file of any kind at a time with it. While they let you build multiple folders to upload your files you can ONLY work from the 1 folder withing the storefront builder.Now how am I sopposed to fill a site with pictures, pages, products, etc 1 at a time? WHAT THEY mention very little in 1 paragraph and talk down in 8 more is that you can do all of that on 1/8 of the time with a FTP Client!
They left out the no adult content part, ALL THE WAY UNTIL I registered my domain, filled the site with adult content, AND IGNORED AND LOOKED THE OTHER WAY, when we submitted a form for adult content for the storefront they were sopposed to build for us! NOBODY SAID OR TOLD US A DAMN THING, UNTIL WAY AFTER THE FACT! its was mentioned to them at the seminar, in the form we filled out, with their 24Hour online support! once for my site that didn't get built, blew me off and looked the other way. I didn't find out until a COACH called me looking for candidates for their next "success" story that I found out! Who also changed the subject, and blew me off!
To Stores Online, I only have this to end with.
Worms will lie, and worms will die.
Though they try, they all will fry.
For all of those that cry, their DOOM is neigh! YOU GUYS RIPPED OFF THE WRONG PERSON!

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
