Ivy Capitol ICI, Shawn Casey, Vianet and several more lied, deceptive, rip offs, rude, fast talkers Las Vegas, Nevada

I agree with you totally, and I have gone through all of the lies that I can take from them.  I did not even sign a contract with Business Development Division and they expect me to pay them $9,280 for a LLC which was not needed, and corporate credit which was not provided within 6 months, and tax "specialists" which were never used because I never achieved a "business" website with Fortune Learning Systems (who did refund my money).  These companies know from my many e-mails that I expect my money back, that I did everything I was asked to do, and the goal was not met as per their guarantees and time limits, not due to my lack of hard work as they will blame the customer first.

I had my lawyer send a letter to Ivy Capital, Inc. They had 60 days to reply and surprise, surprise, they didn't. Before the letter was sent I was contacted by the resolution center and was told they would send me a copy of my "verbal agreement", and of course that was never recieved either. So now I have a choice of taking them to small claims court or hire a lawyer and go all out. I was recently laid off and can't really afford a lawyer, but I don't want this company to keep getting away with ripping people off. If anyone out there has any ideas or is a lawyer that can help me please let me know. There are a lot of complaints out there, but I have heard of no one actually doing anything about it. If you are serious about getting your money back, then you should file a complaint with the BBB in your state and in Nevada. You can also file with the FTC and the AG Office in your state and Neveda. If there are enough people complaining about this company then maybe someone will do something about it. FYI: Vianet, the actual training dept called a few weeks ago and informed me that they were no longer associated with Ivy because of all the complaints and mis-information they were giving customers. I am not going to quit on this, I just need to figure out what to do next.

I was told by the company listed that, for a One Time Investment and my success story, I would receive training and resources to start multiple Limited Liability Companies. Under my new companies, I would have multiple websites to sell merchandise that would be bought at a great wholesale price. I would obtain this price because of the status, corporate credit and paydex scores of these new companies. There connections would put my websites at the top of most popular search engines on the web.

I was Very clear about the fact that I could not afford ANYTHING more than the fee I had already paid. After making this so called One Time Investment of just under $3000.00, I was contacted a few days later by another gentleman. He was the one who would set up these LLCs for me. After explaining the NEED for starting the companies, use of Corporate credit, paydex scores and Liability protection He asked how I would like to pay an additional $8000.00 for the service! I could not afford another investment. By the time we were done talking he had managed to bring this new investment down to $1000.00 for One LLC in Illinois. (I already knew that a  LLC in Illinois cost $500.00 for the initial set up.) When I told him that I could not pay that, he actually told me to call my credit card company and ask for a credit extension. I refused.

I then contacted the company and requested a refund. I was called by numerous others. Everything they had told me about the reasons for doing things this way to be successful got pushed to the side. I was told by the resolutions department that I was the Thief for wanting a refund. They also had the nerve to tell me after the big lecture they had given me earlier, that I could sell things on EBAY!

I have sold items on EBAY before. I need no coaching, nor do I need to Invest $2930.00 to sell there again. If they would have been HONEST with me at the beginning, I would have Immediately told them, No Thanks.

They continue to call. I stopped answering these resolution calls that are nothing more than new sales attempts. I told them that I would give them some time to do the right thing by refunding my money. They did not comply. The reporting of there dishonest business practice has begun.

It is easier than ever, for desperate people, in this terrible economy, to be taken by fast talking sale techniques, empty promises and success. As an honest hard working man, I have an obligation to warn others. Please Beware. 

I am now going through the same sort of thing and I was told the money would not come out until I had my website up and going but they took it out Dec. 1, 2009 and I've been paying interest ever since.  I've had trainers calling me almost everyday but the 866 number they leave is not good calling from Canada so I could never reach anyone.  Then some how I got passed to another seller that wanted to set me up even further for a small amount of $3800.00 american which would be at least $4400.00 canadian ontop of what I already paid in the beginning,  but I stopped him and said I didnt want to get that much into the on-line working.  I noticed the sound in his voice immediately.  When someone from Vianet did get ahold of me and I explained what was happening, they told me not to deal with Tony anymore and that they would get a trainer to call me and set me up with what I was originally supposed to be set up with but now it's been a month with no money coming in to start paying off the amount they took in the first place.  Plus they are charging me another $29.95 for the monthly use of the website!!  Which I thought I wasn't supposed to be paying anything else from my first payment.  I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and I hope it does start working for me or I may be in the same situation as you are.  I am trying to make ends meet with a house to pay for and kids, plus all the other fun bills that come with those.  And just before Christmas that didn't help at all.  I'm hoping to get somewhere and fast.  I've been waiting 3 days now for a trainer to call me and still no word, when someone was supposed to call the same day I was talking to a lady in Customer Service and I told her I'd be pulling out if something didnt happen soon.  I wish you all the luck in getting your money back and I'd love to hear how it turns out for you..
