Additional Complaint Information

Many complainants allege deceptive and misleading advertising, inadequate disclosures of their terms and conditions, unauthorized credit charges and difficulty cancelling. Most complainants allege the company charges their credit cards for $100.00 instead of $1.99 trial price. Other complainants allege they cancel their membership or trial offering within 7 days as required; however, accounts are not cancelled causing additional fees to be charged to their credit cards. Some complainants allege the membership package holds no value and is not worth the $100.00, and contains only information on how to create a Twitter account. A few customer complaints allege the company fails to deliver the package at all. The company responds to some complaints by stating the customer failed to read terms and conditions during sign up; however, in most cases provided refunds or partial refunds regardless.

On-line users need to be careful when browsing the Internet and responding to unsolicited offers. If an ad seems too good to be true, it probably is. Talented individuals can use a Web Page to create a company that looks very legitimate, but just because an ad looks legitimate on the computer screen, is no reason to assume it is. Many questionable work-at-home offers are perpetrated through classified advertising. No matter where you find classified ads online, you are likely to find some false and misleading claims. For example, some classified ads promote quick and easy get rich ventures, traditional pyramid schemes, or the basic chain letter scenario. Traditional work-at-home schemes, such as making handicrafts or stuffing envelopes, have been replaced by offers to use your home PC to make money fast in your spare time. Con artists who previously touted scams through newspapers, U.S. mail and telemarketing are using computers to reach potential victims. They can sit at their keyboard and reach hundreds of thousands of people, pretty much for free, in a short period of time. Getting a phony ad or message out is now cheap and easy. To evaluate tempting, on-line solicitations which offer a chance to earn money by working at home, follow the same signals that tip you off to potential frauds in print and other media. Watch out for warning signs to questionable online advertising, such as overstated claims of product effectiveness, use of hype titles, exaggerated claims of potential earnings, profits, or part-time earnings, or claims of “inside” information.
