======================
I bought the "Auctions For Income" program in May 2004. Soon, I was contacted by "PMI Coaching" and offered a Website building system which was "Guaranteed" and certain to be sucessful.
I bought the $3995.00 program which included "Guaranteed Hits" "Personal Mentoring" and "Success Building tools" along with various other perks for my website, which I have since found that you can get for practically nothing or for a minor fee on numerous other internet locations.
After some anxious days, I opted to cancel the system within the 3 day time limit, wherin I was put through to a "Manager" who offered to extend a "6 month Money Back Guarantee" if I hadn't made back my original $3995.00 investment within that period. (Wonder why they didn't offer this to me initially!?)
Six months later and after complying with all their requirements, I have made nothing, I have spent additionally $30.00 per month since then paying extremely high hosting fees to "Quicksite Builder" whom I suspect is affiliated with them.
On December 8th it will have officially been 6 months since I "re" purchased the system (after having initially canceled it within the 3 day time limit). Their customer service has been sluggish and the site seems to be disabled most of the time. The "guaranteed" links have mostly been to expired or non existent websites. All the "traffic" we've gotten has been from our own personal efforts.
I plan to submit this in the hopes that they will honor their "Money Back Guarantee" to me and refund the $3995.00 immediately. I have become much wiser through this experience and plan on making a donation to the "Ripoff Report" WHEN my money is PROMPTLY refunded to me.
Thank you Ripoff Report!!
