WSI FRANCHISE TOOK MY MONEY ripoff Nationwide

---

*UPDATE.. Rip-off Report Investigation: Rip-off Report analyzes the patterns of complaint against the company and in this case, the claims made against WSI. The company eagerly sought out Rip-off Report services because of its stellar reputation in resolving consumer disputes.

I used to work for the company and frankly I think that they are a bunch of overworked overzealous hypocrites. They fired me because I was not willing to work more than 35 hours a week and I did not subscribe to their cult like positive attitude like they think they are somehow better than other people.



As far as I am concerned - It does not matter that they have been rated #1 - they are too indoctrinated like they are going to be the next Microsoft. Like that is a great thing to want to be Microsoft is just a Capitalist Bully that works there employees to death and they are out to crush every one of their competitors to me it's a pretty shallow goal to want to be like them.



I was a good person before this company destroyed me since they fired me 6 months ago for no good reason, my wife has left me and I will tell the world what a piece of shit company this is until the day I die.



Here is my gift of retaliation I am posting a copy of their Top Secret Project they have been working on developing as a joint project with the Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute

I would like to get people together who are in a similar situation as I am. I was also scammed by WSI and would like to form a group to work together to see what options are available.

After 2 years of struggling, and emailing, and asking, and phoning, and putting more money into this business, I finally got some of it back. Eric Laudon, the consumer resolution specialist and I agreed to a refund. What they forgot to include in the release of liability was a confidentiality clause, which is how I am able to tell my story. Call Eric, 404-256-7588 ext 24, tell him you know some of the dirty secrets and are wiling to share them with all members, see what he says. I have even re-called the references given to me, told them their names and numbers, Sue, 404-852-9675, Jack 215-873-5222 and Bert, 202-633-8994, are all on file with the the DA and consumer affairs

After months of research and speaking with various companies, I came accross WSI. I spoke with Emily the regional representative, she took me though all the issues I had and seemed to answer all my questions. Emily offered 5 other WSI asociates to speak with. I did speak with three of the associates. Curtis from AL seem to have the most information, although in general they all told me the same thing. I did have some follow up questions, but the other associates would not reply. Emily sent me a contract to sign saying there is a limited number of applicants accepted, and I had been accepted. Having signed the contract and sending in a check, which was deposited right away, I still had additional questions for Emily, but now she like the other associates will not respond. Part of WSI information is they claim over 90% of the franchises are still in business after 10 years, well I seem to have landedin the 10% group. I have tried all angles to keep this business going. I have requested support time after time. WSI will not give me enough good help to keep the doors open. Since July I have requested, called and emailed my personal professional guide almost everyday, it takes him 2 days to return my questions. I need a refund, this is a 40K scam .Any help available?

WSI franchise, Bill used all kind of tricks to make the sale, he said they have a very tough selection process, is "if you have the money, you qualify." They used all kind of tricks to put pressure to make the sale, like saying you cannot apply again if you do not decide right away, the price has just been increased but they'll keep the same just for me (Lucky Me) Bill told me I need no sales experience, a " Director" would be in constant touch with guide me through any problems I might have. "But you won't have any problems, our system is the best", right, the best at getting franchise money then disapearing.



I now what "RA and NB " would only use thier initials when identifying themselves online, they DON'T want to be identified.

Bill did give me 4 other associates to call, Gail in Toronto, Bob in Georgia, Kirsten in California and JoAnn in New York. Well looking back, I am sure they got paid to "email me" thier experiences, funny I now see all answers I got were almost word for word the same.



Quote, "#1 Internet Services Business in the world and the 4th fastest-growing International Franchise. ", the part they forgot to include, The fastest to take your money, then offer no support.



So, send Bill you $40,000 then forget about it.

Bill, give my money back, your franchise model sucks, your cheesy photo copied liturature is a scam and overall rating, "0"

So, watch out all, this franchise is advertised in all the franchise sites, (they used my $40k on advertising".
