In 2011 I got laid off from my job. Then when I finally landed a job it was an hour away from home and it was not making nearly as much as I was before. Therefore, I knew i had to do something more. I was looking online for work from home side jobs and I saw one that it was flexible, I can work from anywhere, and be able to bring in a couple hundred bucks a month. Then I get a call from Business Coaching and they were telling me how it is a good time to start my own business right now.
I always wanted to do something like this so I figured maybe right now is the best time to start something new. Mike Wood my business coach reinsure me that I would make all my money back within the first few months and we needed their services to succeed. He told me not one person that he knows failed with this program.
Coaching Program was $ 7,895, Supplier source for marketing $ 3,950, set up LLC $ 1,750, Credit Builder and financial builder $ 1,800, Publish EIN $ 43.99, website fees, phone line fees etc. After 3 months I was in debt almost $ 15,000. All my credit cards were maxed out and all of my bills were coming in. Business has not gotten anymore, and my coaching session was over and done with. It was a total life changing experience for me. I pretty much lost all of my savings, all of my credit cards, no credit and left with nothing. This scam ruin my life.
I signed a financial contract with two companies, IMG International [to provided coaching to build personal website to sell consumer goods] and CE Corporate Services [to setup business]. They have affiliated companies, The Coaching Department, Duvera Financial Services [financial group that handles the billing for IMG and CE Corporate Services], Power Pay and Authorize.net [merchant services to handle all website transactions], and Applybuilder.net [web host] that work together.
I recently learned that these companies are scammers. They solicited people using a fake email from someone you know and it draws you in. Last year, my husband and I put down $1100 via credit card toward coaching at IMG International with a remaining balance of $3,640 for which we'd been making monthly payment of $134.44 via debit for nine months. The coaching consisted of a 5 - 10 minutes weekly which didn't benefit us very much and with research I found that for the amount of money we've paid/contracted, we could have had a website built for us, fully optimized, and making money. I spoke with IMG International's owner named Tyler Watts and he, of course, will not own up to the scam. I told him that hundreds of people have been scammed and it's all over the Internet via the BBB, ripoffreports.com, etc. I politely asked for a refund of all funds paid within the contract and he refused; he only offered to lower the interest rate on the remaining money owed. I told him that I will no longer be using there services and seeking legal action.
With CE Corporate Services, we put down $250.00 of a $995.00 contract (financed $745.00; was paying $67 monthly until July) to set up our business name and complete the necessary documents. They did set up the business but it was done incorrectly and we had to pay our tax agent money to fix it. I tried to contact them for months but their phone rings once and hangs up on you. Tyler Watts [from IMG] knew about the account when I spoke with him because these companies are all in the scam together. When I mentioned the problem I had with this company, Tyler, all of the sudden didn't know anything...interesting!!
I’ve gotten threatening emails from Duvera Financial saying they're going to report me to the credit bureaus and recently received a letter from there so-called debt collecting company, Palomar Associated. I told them via email and via letter, thank you for letting me know and that I am seeking legal action against all companies involved.
I spoke with Applybuilder which did refund 3 months of service and terminated our use of their service which I requested. With the termination of service, I no longer have access to the website that I spent several months working on.
I spoke with representative from PowerPay and Authorize.net to terminate my monthly contract and they did end it but refuse to give any refund because it wasn't requested in the first (5) days of the month.
