Global Pro System Glennanne Marketing Group LLC Charge you $9.95 for info and DVD that is worthless, hangup when you call and then charge $39.95 Scottsdale, Arizona

When you went to www.incomeathome.com you were interested in looking into a business online.  The web site made it very clear that by entering your credit card info you were comitting to a $9.95 shipping charge for the information.   You could have chosen not to enter that information.  Had you scrolled to the bottom of the site and clicked on the link clearly shown you would have seen not only the company they are in business with, but a detailed list of the chances of making anything.  I agree it is more a promotional DVD and booklet, than a "training pack."   But if you listen to about any commercial on radio you find they are pretty much all done in the same format.  Testimonials about the product or process is how it's done.  I'm hoping you had the good sense to send it back withing the 14 day time period.  If not you deserve what you got.

This should not get confused with Global Pro System/Vemma.  This company shouldn't have the global pro system name. I work as a Vemma representative and consume Vemma products.

I am an independent distributor for a company who uses GPS for marketing and business management.  There are several falsehoods in the report I must address:
1. The $39.95 is not charged unless a prospect chooses not to sign up with our organization.  We MUST provide the return instructions and even if a prospect mails the package back 30+ days late we MUST refund the $39.95 (assuming we were able to charge it in the first place).  Failure to do so will result in us losing our business.  
2. The $9.95 pays for the FedEx shipping, just as the web site indicates (if people would simply read the website they would know this).  Additionally this $9.95 separates those who are really interested from those who are just window shopping.  Sorry, but I don't have the time to answer 100 questions for everyone looking for a business for nothing.  
3.  The web site clearly states that this is a BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, not a JOB.  It is absolutely true that you should never have to pay for a job, however only an idiot would think they can get any business for free.  You would not believe how many people think they can get into business for themselves for free.
4.  GPS is a business management tool...it is not the company we are independent distributors for.  It provides prospect management plus the training new distributors need in a step-by-step approach.
5.  The phone number I give out is 100% valid, in fact it rings both my cell and house phone.  I am ALWAYS reachable by my prospects.
6.  Cathy B's comment is a total LIE.  First, we don't have ANY plan that costs $350,  If you become a distributor then the package is yours to keep without ever being billed the $39.95.  I wonder if she is a competitor filing a false claim.
7.  What "brochure" are you referring to?  The workbook that we FedEx out to you. Is that where you are saying "Glenn's" phone number came from?  If so, then you really are too stupid to go into any business.  Do you really think a generic brochure is going to have a real phone number?  If it did then only one person would ever be able to use it.

Overall, I know that GPS is a legitimate system.  The real scammers are the people who use a $10 money card, get the package and then never answer their phone or email and never send the package back.  Guess they were hoping that they could start a business for $9.95.

The TRUE Scams are affiliate marketers like "Mike's Profit Plan", "Partnering with Paul", "Friends of Paul", Partners with Paul" (Paul really gets around).  These marketers WHO HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH GPS are the ones who use deceptive marketing to make people think that for only $9.95 they will get everything they need to let them start a 6-figure income business.  I ALWAYS ask my prospects where they learned of our website...if from one of the affiliates then I know what to expect (someone who wants everything for nothing).

 As a rule I would never respond to these types of things, but it bothers me that people are just not telling the truth. The people filing scam reports are people who just don't take responsibility for their own actions. Everything is clear and simple and because they do not do what they are suppose to, they say it's a scam! JennB is another example of somebody who didn't read the information, which is on the front page of the order form. The $9.95 is for shipping and goes directly to FedEx for the overnight shipping charges. This money doesn't go to the company or anybody in the company. To try to say that the $9.95 was charged to your account without authorization is just a lie! You ordered the package, you filled out your credit card number, address, phone number etc. on the information page to have the training package sent to you overnight, so there is no scam JennB? You are the one trying to scam if you are trying not to pay the $9.95 shipping fee, shame on you for steeling money.  You agreed to the terms, if the business isn't for you no problem, but don't try to make it sound like it's the companies fault, when it's yours! If you did what you were suppose to do and sent the package back within the 14 day free trial, then you would not have been charged the $39.95. We are not in business to give you free stuff. We are a business, not the government! Instead of looking for the scam you should be looking at the awesome turn key internet business that this is. 

My name is Silvia Lingenberg and my phone number is a valid phone number. You will either get me on the phone personally or my home office voice mail and I always return my calls if a message is left for my online business.

"Sylvia" says this program isn't a scam buy the phone # for her business rings and has no voice mail. The email address for "Sylvia's" business goes through John Lindberg. Who would have a legitimate business that does not attach their own name to?

Everything about this "business" is shady. I know "Sylvia" is an older lady (over 50) but she should still know right from wrong. I also returned my dvd and was asked for it weeks later or I would be charged 39.99. Not sure why my packet was not received, but I sent it to the address "Sylvia" emailed to me. I also blocked any charges from this company from my credit card.

Maureen, It's really odd that you would post a scam report before anything even happened. Of course they are not going to charge you $299.00 on a credit card number that you never gave them it can't be done! And further more, if you are not interested in the business, it's no problem, it's not for everybody. As far as the 39.95, just send the package back within the 14 day free trial. It's that simple. 

Sounds to me like you happened to get hold of a jerk that plays games.   I've been with Global Pro for some time now and have no complaints about them.   Unfortunately leads are at the mercy of "the luck of the draw".   My mentor has been nothing but instructive, helpful, and right there for me when I needed her.   I think I got lucky in the draw.   When we first start out we are nervous as you would have been if you'd gotten someone who was serious about helping people as I am.   Our nervousness comes out in many ways, and our mentors are there to help, but we need to make the initial contact because we got you as a prospect also by "the luck of the draw".   So I don't think it fair to call the total organization a scam because you got one jerk and gave up because of him.

I was in the internet and came across free home business, i checked it out and they said 9.95 for kit and then we will contact you wll i am afraid they are going to charge me 3995 even if I sent it back. i dont know what to do. I think I will have to get a new Credit card. this is a scam because they said it would be 299.oo that nite but i did not send them that she wanted my credit card number but i did not give it too her. I know they are going to try and charge me the other and this has got to be stopped.   Thanks maureen loftice    214-721-5005
 

   

You are being dishonest with your post. And you should be ashamed of yourself for misleading people. If you think for one minute that I believe that after Glen called you and you called him right back, that he had all of his phones disconnected just so he can keep your $39.95, to use your words "come on"! If he is still advertising on the radio as you said, you heard him on the radio this morning. Then he is still in business!  If any Brand Partner is engaging in bad business practices, it's not right, and without a doubt it should be reported to the company. But it doesn't mean that the whole company is a scam! There are many of us who run our businesses very professionally, and for you to lump everybody together and to blame them for a bad experience you had is just not right. This obviously was not for you, but it doesn't mean that you should slander GPS. With the number of independent business owners within this company, you are bound to run into a ruff one every now and then. Hey all we are trying to do here is show people how to build their own successful online internet business. It's nice to have a small business creator these days, so why would you want to destroy that? We already have too many in our government trying to do that now! 

To - "employee" -
Glenn was not "nervous", he would not answer my questions, he hung up.  His phone numbers were bogus - they would either ring forever, go to a voicemail message that would not take a message, or would give a fast busy tone.  One of the phone numbers listed in the brochure was 000-0000 - come on!!! 

Yes, this is a complete scam.  I heard the website advertised on the radio again - in fact it is advertised on a radio station in the North Texas area - WBAP.

Caveat Emptor!

My name is Silvia Lingenberg and on Thursday 2/7/13 Jennifer Brown, JennB123 file a complant on me because she thought she was scammed.  This is a lady who just is angry, mad and threaten me in emails.  Because she order a traning package and wants to be paid back for shipping that our company does even collect the $9.95 it goes to Fed Ex
But my concern in your own policy states no personal information and you posted my home office phone number.

Please fix this ASAP.

I have been involved with this company for 7 months. I run into an occasional person like this who never reads what they sign up for. It is not a rip off! He just didn't read the terms which are right there on the front page of the sign up information. No money is made on the shipping fee which is $9.95, to have the package sent out over night FedEx. It totally explains that if you do not return the package within 14 days you will be charge the $39.95 for the package. It cost a lot of money to put a glossy beautiful brochure plus a DVD together, so we trust you that you will hold up your end of the deal and return the info. pack, and when you don't, you are suppose to pay for it, very simple. Glenn may have been new and a littler nervous when he called you, but it really isn't a conspiracy. We fill out tax forms and other documents, so we are real people building real businesses through GPS, and Vemma. This kind of person always wants to blame somebody else for their inadequacies. This is an amazing company, and and amazing opportunity. Is it for everybody, of course not, but if it isn't for you, pull up your big boy panties and just do what you agreed to do. Send the package back!  Vemma and GPS has no intention of ripping anybody off. Really!!!!!!

My name is Cathy and I too was ripped off from this company.
I was looking on the internet for legit work from home jobs, clicked on this company do to it stating "It was free"  I ordered my kit from them and was told it would be $9.95 for the shipping.  After this time I received the packet and watched the training dvd which was junk.  Had meeting with my Trainer/Mentor and was told I would be charged $39.95 to the training material.  I stated to "Liliana that I was not interested and would be returning this packet to them at address listed "16443 North 91st street Ste C102, Scottsdale AZ 85260"
At that time she tried to sell me more and it would only cost me $350.00 dollars.
  Unbeleivable!!  I told her.  Don't bother and proceeded to let her know how unproffessional this company is.  Trying to draw in people claiming it's free!!
  Even though I sent the information packet back they still took out the $39.95 out of my checking account.
  This company should be sued for misrepresentation!!
  Feels as though I have no rights at all here.

Thank You for your time in this matter
 Cathy B.

This business, Global Pro System is a huge scam. It is simple in the method of asking for your 9.99 upfront. I just do not understand why they would even want the packet that they mail to you returned. This scam cost me 9.99 and an additional headache of having to report them to my credit card company. 

Please try to spread the word about this company fast. It is a Simple Scam and is easy to fall into the trap. 

The lady I spoke with was Silvia Lingenberg and her "mentor" was Clare Watson. Silvia claimed to be working out of her home office and her office phone # was 626-332-7494.
