A dear friend of mine ventured onto the internet for the first time. My friend does not know what LOL, LMAO or TTYL means, so how could she know what was to come when she clicked on "You've Won A Free Laptop!" Her "Free Laptop" is costing her over $7,000 and to top it off, it's only a loaner (lease)! This fabulous offer also came with a pretty binder, some paper and some motivational telephone support numbers. For $7,000?!?! I don't think so. I won't stand for it.

Bill Carroll, I believe is the Owner of Startup Essentials and USA Card Services....LET'S STOP HIM! ENOUGH! I've been up all night drafting a letter to them telling them everything I am prepared to do because they refuse to even respond, let alone resolve this issue, but after checking the BBB and Rip-Off Reports, I am even more energized, motivated and ready to fight!

Bill, your Company quoted Winston Churchill in your advertising. Here's a quote for you:

I WILL NOT STOP MY QUEST UNTIL THE WORDS "STARTUP ESSENTIALS", "BILL CARROLL" AND THE WORDS "INTERNET FRAUD"..... ARE SYNONYMOUS.

#1 Consumer Comment

Looking at one small bright spot....

AUTHOR: Thomas - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, December 08, 2006
I have encountered some "You've Won A Free Laptop!" web ads. I think they were either spam or popups. I never clicked on them because I simply do not respond to web solicitations. But I was curious what the "catch" was, and there is ALWAYS a catch, and now I know..

In Response to "Educated" Ex-Employee of Start-up

AUTHOR: Peggy - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, December 08, 2006
First... "Bro", who are you to presume that everyone who signs something FRAUDULENT, unknowingly is "ignorant"?

There are a great many people who just havent been around the block "Bro", or who are handicapped, desperate, etc..., I've been there myself, made my mistakes, learned and grew...I don't throw it in anyone's face who does the same.

And just because Start-Up and others like them get away with hurting the innocent, desperate, old, handicapped, gullible, young or otherwise "easy prey", do you think that makes it right? PLEASE...oh, I'm sorry, in Steve Mayes Words "Are YOU kidding ME?"...

ps.....bro, learn how to spell, with an attitude like you have, you'll need anything you can get
