The FTC sting operation
AUTHOR: Shemonika - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 02, 2005
I heard all about the Texas lawsuit, but I have a question? When is the FTC going to launch a full scale investigation about this company? I have complained to the FTC, but I was unable to get the status of the investigation. This type of fraud and credit gauging needs to be stopped because the state of Illinois needs more people to complain before anything can be done. ANYBODY IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS THAT HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF BY THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY.

Paying $3,000 for $15 worth of software
AUTHOR: Etwana - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 01, 2005
In response to the Texas lawsuit, iMergent held a press conference with First Albany (one of their big investors). This line from CEO Don Danks made me feel particularly ripped off:
"...it makes sense to then extend credit even to B credits, because the marginal expense of taking that credit risk is about $15 in software and documentation, discs and documentation versus the $500 down payment we get."
The 'down payment' is 33x Imergent's cost for the software!!
This downpayment usually represents 20% down. Then customers must 'finance' the balance at 18%. Finance what?, you may ask. Exactly. You're financing air. You've already paid for the software and documentation (or lack thereof) 33x over.
So to summarize, if you put $500 down on a Storesonline package costing $3000 and finance the rest over two years at 18%, you'll end up paying for the software 253 times.
And they include lunch and a business organizer! What a deal!!

After I posted my original message, I discovered that the Petition filed by the State of Texas is actually part of a bigger national sting operation to take down 'work at home' scams.
