Britt Phillips...
What can you say about a guy who flashes a bunch of fake $100 bills? I say buyer beware!
Would a real Christian wouldn't be flashing hundred dollar bills to try and prove that he was successful. I also wonder a little bit about men in their 40s with hair so long that they tie it in the back.(He looks like he would be more at home riding a motor cycle than donating money to the 700 club or to feed children. ..It always worries me when a "good Christian" uses his faith to try and prove that they're a good person.


I link to a lot of good sites and services. I always promote good sites and services that I find and use, especially if they're small businesses. I think you have to do that. But at the same time, I think I really have to help people and alert them to scams when I find them too. I really hate to have to do that. Everyone that knows me knows that I'm easy to get along with. Unfortunately I've had the displeasure of dealing with someone that turned out to be not just a crook but such an absolutely nasty person that I really had to put something up for anyone doing research on him.

I sincerely hope that you find this before you use him and aren't doing it after the fact because you've had a problem.

It's not that Britt Phillips really cost me so much. I admit that Britt Phillips is cheap. It's also not that he can't do a good job. He probably can in some cases. But in the end, Britt Phillips turned out to be such an a*s (sorry there's no other way to describe him in this case) in my case, that I had to try and warn a few people.

Everything seemed fine at first, but after AffordableCovers.com did some work, Britt Phillips seemed very eager to push me out the door. I didn't say anything and I guess I let him assume it was done, in that I didn't say anything either way. That was on a Friday, and when I came back to him on Monday with two extremely small changes to the work that he did, he demanded $20 just to make two small changes. Britt Phillips went on to claim that he had deleted the ebook cover that he made for me, just two days before, so that's why he had to charge me an extra $20 because he had to redo two small adjustments.

I clearly wouldn't go to all this trouble for $20. I'm not hostile by nature. I actually tried to let things drop a couple times and save myself the several hours this has wasted. Despite my clear misgiving about his extorting more money from me to make two tiny changes, I just sent it. But being the true arrogant a*s that (in my opinion) he demonstrated himself to be, he then refused to accept the money from paypal because he insisted on having it in a more totally guaranteed form. I've worked with a lot of different professionals in building my business over the years, but I've never run into an individual that seemed to turn so suddenly from an apparently nice person, into someone so totally different. Worldwide Ad Network, Inc. sucks!

I thought about and considered several things afterwards, but I think that although they're certainly circumstantial, they do help to show a potential problem. Unfortunately I didn't see this until it was too late, but hopefully you aren't reading this after having similar experience, but can avoid this type of problem.

Ask yourself, why does any successful business take only paypal and not credit cards. Paypal was recently in news (3/04) for acting like they had credit card company style assurances but failing to protect the consumer the way a credit card does.

Credit card accounts aren't that hard to qualify today for even the smallest company but they do require some accountability, which I think could be a problem for him. Also why does he require the full payment up front before doing any work at all.

In my case he demanded an additional $20 after he told me the original price in order to unlock the images. That probably should have been a warning sign but I was very eager to get it, even though it wound up costing more than he had said it would.

Why would Britt Phillips need to lie about so many things?

Another thing worth considering, is why does AffordableCovers.com go so far out of his way to keep you from knowing his physical location. Britt Phillips goes out of his way to tell you on his website how he has been so incredibly successful at his business that he lives in a 6,000 square foot home. He even used this as his proof that he was more successful than I was so he wasn't going to apologize or finish the work he didn't want to. The truth is that the address he lists is a PO Box. It you look it up on a regular search engine you'll find a wide variety of businesses there at that address, but if you look it up in a good phone directory you'll find the following results (several different mail box store names and numbers).

Britt Phillips half million dollar 6,000 square foot home is a mailbox at the UPS Store!
Take a look what a little research uncovered about his address...

(Here's his actual address in case you're interested too)

Britt Phillips aka: Simmon Zelma

Ph: 804-897-2274
Address: 11812 Blakeston CT Richmond VA 23236-4163

Worldwide Ad Network, Inc., 13146 Midlothian Turnpike, #106, Midlothian, VA 23113 is clearly just a post office box at the UPS store (formerly Mail Boxes Etc).

(MasterFiles is a great tool by the way. You have to pay a little for it, but it's well worth it. I learned this from some private investigators that use it all the time.)

I am Christian, but it always worries me when people use their faith to try and prove that they're a good person. People should know that you're a Christian from your attitude, not from things you put on your website.

The truth is that he is putting up the 700 club logo and Feed the Children logos to create an image that is very far from the truth. The truth is that anyone with real money realizes that, having money doesn't prove you're better. It's only people that don't have money, that think flashing money and claiming a incredible success and a humongous home prove that you're somehow successful.

Would a real Christian wouldn't be flashing hundred dollar bills to try and prove that he was successful. I also wonder a little bit about men in their 40s with hair so long that they tie it in the back. (He could be successful, but to me he looks like he would be more at home riding a motor cycle than donating money to the 700 club or to feed children.)

I have a lot of long emails from him which show my story, but emails are easier to make up and I wanted to stick to clear facts that are documentable and aren't subject to liable.

Being nasty doesn't prove that he's a crook though, any more than some of these other things do. But all these things are clear warning signs but you know I wouldn't take the time to write all of this if out if he wasn't so absolutely nasty to me. And I think people that are as nasty as he was to me deserve to be talked about. This all rose out of his refusal to make just two minutes worth of changes (the only changes I ever asked for) to the ebook cover he made for me. Unfortunately this type of person may very likely do or say things in retaliation to me, for writing this out, but if he does, I'll post that here as well. I'll put just one link to it for now. If he tries to retaliate, I will probably just add some more meat to this and put more links to it and post information and links to it on related ebook and designer forums too. I certainly hope it doesn't come to that, but I need to make sure he realizes that this page alone will probably only wind up reaching a couple customers but there are several more things I can do if he attempts to retaliate against me for telling people about his attitude.

I made this whole page and posted some of the story here to give people out there as much warning as I could.

The bottom line is, you should be very careful and use Britt Phillips, AffordableCovers.com, WorldWideAdNetwork.com and Computermillions.com at your own risk. Things may not be quite as he would like to make them seem.

I don't know if this is actually his name or not, but here's his actual address:
804-897-2274 Simmon Zelma 11812 Blakeston CT Richmond VA 23236-4163

Worldwide Ad Network, Inc., 13146 Midlothian Turnpike, #106, Midlothian, VA 23113 is clearly just a post office box at the UPS store (formerly Mail Boxes Etc).

Slander....Easy Rookie...You Are About To Get Spanked....

AUTHOR: 4leggeddeadend - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, September 22, 2008

For one, I have known Britt Phillips for over 15 years. We worked out together, did some PI work together and to be honest, I watched him from beginning to now build his business from scratch. From selling place mat adds for a local diner to making big money on the internet marketing a variety of products.

As for the last knucklehead that filed this report.....you just bit off more than you can chew. The link for YOUR SLANDEROUS COMMENTS.....is now being forwarded to Britts attention....you will be contacted shortly I am sure.

One note....before going and firing your mouth off about something/somebody you know nothing about......stop and think rookie....your alligator mouth is backed up by your canary behind and this could end in litigation not falling in your favor.

The business Mr. Phillips has been reviewed and is within the constraints of the law.....so your comments are unfounded and based most likely on your own low self esteem and or being intimidated by the man's strength.

He is a formidable personna but at the same time is a outstanding business man and not into ripping people off or any of the bunk you are insinuating. He makes good money and I assure you that he has better things to do with his time than deal with you and your emotional issues.

Virginia State FRAUD Artist Britt Philips Exposed & is next on the IRS Agenda

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

POSTED: Friday, May 27, 2005

Warning: This report has been produced to add awareness to the Public through the internet, press releases and other mass media channels to expose the reality of a scam artist by the name of Britt Philips (of www.computermillions.com ) who is involved in online and offline frauds through Coastal Vacations Club; a reputable Travel Membership Association with over 8 years of presence. Bare in mind that Coastal Vacations holds no responsibilities none what so ever in concerns of this Associate.


Unfortunately, We have fallen into his trap as detailed below. To fully expose Britt Philips attitude and behavior, run a search on Google with quotes in it ex.: Britt Philips, you will be able to judge for yourself.

Overview :
1) He will bash every single fellow director out there and make sure you avoid dealing with them or communicating with them.
2) He spreads and emphasizes that you avoid attending the associations Weekday calls for trainings and product updates (for him to have control over you)
3) When asked about other services and tools, he as well will say he tried them in the past and produced no results (hoping to make a sale on his selected products as an affiliate)
4) He flashes photos of an old 92-94 Lexus model and so proud that he paid Cash for it with no proof none what so ever, just typical bragging. It's over 10 years old car; I don't see what is it to speak about.
5) He claims that he was starving in a small apartment, broke and hungry before joining the program, meanwhile he claims he was working for the Army and a private Detective for many years, how contradicting can that be ?
6) He does not respect deadlines, time and claims to be available all the time, speak about returning calls in 3 days when you need immediate consulting in a timely manner. You will always hear excuses such as Sick, Jammed up with work, his parents this, his girlfriend that and so on
7) Refuses to respond in a timely manner and ignores emails most of the time, he will only reply if he likes the email or feels it will threat his bank account. But will sure call you first thing in the morning to pitch you on another product or service before you produce any results with him.
8) His Super Power Long Tested and proven Marketing system does not delivery the results he claims. He hypes it up too much and misleads people to purchase as many shares as possible, claiming that you will get maximum results while basically he is the one maximizing his bank account. Imagine paying thousands of dollars to generate leads and all you get is highly disqualified and ultra-untargeted leads who respond to Jobs Offers not business opportunities and have no idea on which planet they live to start with. Delivers below 1% of expected & promised results.
9) He emphasizes on Professionalism, while his content is full of spelling errors, try speaking with him on the phone to experience how rude this person is. He will cut you off, swear names and tell you off.
10) Asks for Money Orders, Certified Checks and payment methods that are non refundable, be careful!
11) Refuses to issue invoices for the service.

3 step Marketing System: AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

1) Uses the wrong Ads in thrifty newspapers and 1 major by placing ads in the Employment Section seeking Sales Professionals?!?!?!?!?!? How Targeted . And promises that his conversion rate is high (high under the influence I assume of something)
2) He gathers the leads and distributes them in a mysterious fashion, ex. For a $1000 worth of leads (he will always pitch on getting maximum results) expect to get 30-100 leads max during a one month period, costing you approx. $10-$34 Per NON Qualified Lead, speak about rip off.
3) Once you get them, you place them in to a voice blaster at another cost of $0.12 per call to leave people messages if they don't answer (don't get me wrong, this system can be a great tool if used properly). People are having problems communicating with people, imagine a machine speak about effectiveness.
4) No sense of building relationships with people, which is the main key element in developing any business, ask the dumbest idiot when it come to marketing about that. Especially if you are involved in High Ticket Items, unless you have previously established credibility and trust. He is simply a butcher with no dignity when it comes to business ethics and values.

I am no longer sure of his source of leads as I learned from others that he buys them in bulk and feeds these leads to his imaginary Co-Op Program.

Tools:

Asks for tools that are not necessary, only good to add more residual income to his bottom line so he can collect monthly payments. We will argue with you that you need all the tools because he has been using them for 6 or 7 years . However, most of these tools exist for only 1 or 2 years now in the market.

One of his classic quotes: Some of my clients call me and ask me where they get checks from , they have no idea where they came from . I am not sure about you, but when I receive checks, I know when they are coming in, from where and how, Get Real

He will pitch you on Search Engine Optimization. I believe he only read John Reese's Traffic Secrets 80 pages sales letter and believed he is a SEO expert; he said I will manually submit your site to 300 search engines, this will take me 6 hours of work, it will cost you $277 or you can buy a better deal for traffic for $997 (John Reese TS Package) and learn to do it your self. If you choose to do it yourself, you don't have access to the webpage he gives you, every time you need to modify, you have to call him, email him and wait for his majesty to have a free minute for you. Is this a way you want to run your business? Having someone hold you on the leach like a pet under his mercy and orders? Check his website ranking and how he made his sites, it will give you an idea. These are our personal feedback about some of the tools he enforces to buy :

1) Live Human : BAD support service based in India and the service is expensive compared to other north American quality
2) Aweber: Limited and expensive auto-responder service
3) His Cheesy Autoresponder 1 year series : he will brag about spending 6 years developing thatopps, 6 weeks they are worth nothing, a 10 year old illiterate can write better content.
4) Audio Generator : powerful tool but competition with exact capabilities are cheaper
5) Video Generator : powerful tool but competition with exact capabilities are cheaper

Website Extortion:

Locks the webpage he provides (not a website) only a few pages that have many spelling mistakes. This way the member has no control over his own business. You need his permission to run your business. The websites are not quiet visible for the Search Engine Spiders as the content is encoded for security, he is afraid someone will steal his content like it was worth anything. You basically get a replicated page, that contain links to his main website, this is pure scamming in your face. Examples below:

http://www.3kto5kweekly.com/
http://www.athomeeasymoney.com/
http://www.youropportunityonline.com/
http://www.youcanhavefreedom.com/

Testimonials:
He pays some people to do the recording with him. He will not give references for any successful members he trained. Claims that there are hundreds of people who would stand up for him and back him up but fails to provide their contacts.

Communication and Scripts:
The most Garbage you will ever find online. Everything that contradicts what the most stupid with half brains successful marketers teach

While Coastal is a powerful and lucrative Business Opportunity, people who have no dignity, sense of ethics of business value will always be floating on the surface to pollute such environments.

AL - Canada

Return Policy - across the board ten day return policy as outlined by the board of directors

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

POSTED: Friday, October 15, 2004

Actually their is an across the board ten day return policy as outlined by the board of directors. I've been in the program for over six years and have never had to issue a refund. But its there just the same. While other directors may choose not to honor it or offer it etc., If you ask board members you will learn what I'm telling you is true. I've also been asked to be on the board many times so I have an inside track on many behind the scenes issues.

Glad to see another long term person loving this awesome program. Best of lifelong success to you.

God Bless

Whoa.... 10 day return company policy?? Ok.. I have to jump in....

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

POSTED: Thursday, October 14, 2004

Britt, you posted:

"The ten day refudn policy is not mine., It's set by the company. The payment acceptance policy is not mine. It's also set by the company. The reason is very simple. People are shipped a $20,000. package and before it is shipped the company wants to make sure they are paid!"

What company are you referring to? Not Coastal... Coastal has no return policy... it is up to the individual directors to offer one if they choose. Most of my group have never needed to even have a policy, since it is very rare to have someone change their mind. I have been with Coastal for over 5 years, and there has never been a "company return policy" because Coastal is not a company. It's not a corporation. It is simply an association of entrepreneurs.

I just wanted to clarify that for anyone reading this discussion thread. It was unclear what you meant... it looked like you were saying it was *Coastal's* policy.

Bill Quimby you need help. Anyone can simply take a look at what you are doing here to clearly see that.

Bill Quimby wrote:

Bill Quimby you need to make up your mind. In previous posts you continually stated you were unhappy with the virtual cover designs and that is why you started this smear campaign against me. Then later you Bill Quimby cam eback and said I'm stupid and that it's my attitude. One thing that really clearly helps to prove my point is the fact that you are still using the virtual cover designs on your http://www.phonenumbersthatmakemoney.com web site. So out of one side of your mouth you say you don't like the images but you still use them anyway, and out of the other side you recant that and now claim it is my attitude.

Bill Quimby wrote:

Bill Quimby you are in denial. Why would anyone in business have an "anti customer attitude"? That makes no rational sense whatsoever. And it is not me who is attacking you. Who started this smear campaign? YOU did Bill Quimby. It was Bill Quimby who took the time to start a smear campaign over $20 bucks. That in and of itself shows everyone that you Bill Quimby need serious help. Rational people would never waste the time or go to the lengths you have to try and ruin a business over $20 bucks. Is this how you want to be remembered? You need serious help.

Bill Quimby wrote:

Ferocious? Give me a break. Bill as much as you would like to think there are tons of people just like you in the world who have hired me to design covers for them and then freaked out against me, the fact is YOU are the only one. I've designed hundreds of covers for clients and out of them all, YOU are the only one who has had a problem with the designs. Bill Quimby you simply want to try and keep this thread active in the search engines because you feel somehow it will hurt my business. That is pretty sick and twisted if you ask me. And I'm sure most rational, intelligent people who may happen upon this and read it, will clearly see you Bill Quimby need serious help.

Bill Quimby wrote:

I never said you were the only person who ever asked for a tweak to be done. I've done lots of tweaks for people. That's what the proof and approval process is for. You however didn't ask for a simple tweak during the proof approval process and you very well know it. You are lying about what actually happened and you know that too. You came back long AFTER you gave final approval of your designs and accepted them as what you wanted. Then you came back and tried to blackmail me into creating another design for you for FREE. And Bill the thing that really gets me about you is how cheap you are. You tried to beat me up on the already low prices to begin with. I gave you a reduced price off my already low prices. Then you came back and tried to blackmail me into giving you a free design. And then you start a smear campaign against me over $20 bucks. Bill Quimby you are your own worst enemy. You need to look in the mirror because what you are doing here is simply wrong. and it makes you look like such a troubled soul.

Bill Quimby wrote:

Bill the only thing you are sorry about is the fact that I refuse to allow you to bully me and that I have stood up to you. I guess you are used to running over people in your life and now that you've met someone who refuses to allow it to happen, you do the only thing you think you have left which is to lie and start a smear campaign out of sick, twisted revenge.

Bill Quimby you really need to step back and ask yourself if this is really how you want people to see you behaving. As someone who is trying to run a business, you sure have a warped way of going about it.

God bless you and I hope you find peace within yourself some day.

It's your ATTITUDE stupid...

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

POSTED: Tuesday, October 12, 2004

I'm sure you remember the saying "It's the ECONOMY stupid". It wasn't caling anyone stupid except the people who didn't realize what the real issue was. That's why I titled this "It's your ATTITUDE stupid... because my problem with you really has nothing to do with whether or not you were willing to make revisions to an ebook cover. That's ultimately not that big of a deal and certainly wouldn't warrant making a page to warn other people about you.

The clear problem with you was your anti customer attitude and blatant hostility. And the more you continue to attack me only proves my point. I did point out a few things like your $500,000 house is really a post office box which relates to your credibility and honesty. But those things really aren't the problem. They're just warning signs, which is all this is about you.

You're right, I'm just one person. But your attitude was so ferocious that I doubt it's really the only one who's ever had a negative experience. There's honestly no way to determine that. People will find this if they search for your name. And if this is the only complaint it won't stop everyone but it will give them something to think about and watch out for.

If I'm really the only person who ever asked for a revison (not a whole new graphic just one small change) then this won't really matter. Because criticizm that's not true doesn't hurt. You can either prove you're a bigger man and walk away or you can prove that everything I said was true by continuing to post complaints about me such as: http://ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff109069.htm Have you ever heard of the company posting complaints about paying customers who purchased their biggest packages?

Britt, the bottom line here that this isn't about your unwillingness to make a 2 minute revision to the work I paid you to do. I'm really sorry but it's your horrific anti-customer and materialistic attitude.

Bill you don't get it. I would not let you blackmail me into creating graphics for you for free and that's really what this is all about, nothing more.

Why are you the only one who has ever had a problem with me creating graphics for them?

Bill do you want to meet me in a court of law to address your public slander? You are about to get your chance. Contrary to what you may think, you can not spew off your mouth on the Internet as you wish without concequences.

For anyone reading this that wants to get the rational facts... affordablecovers.com contains many testimonials from doctors and other professional corporate as well as private sector clients. Several of them are repeat customers and only have great things to say.

Bill I've created hundreds of covers for people and you are the only one who went crazy on me. Personally I think you have deeper issues that are personal and need professional treatment. It is just not normal for someone to behave as you have and continue to do.

I wish you the best and hope you find peace within yourself and the world.

The bottom line is he's just a slime ball to stay away from!

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

POSTED: Monday, October 04, 2004

My comments (actually taken from a page I made about him to warn other people) were the original start of this thread. I didn't post it here but put it on my site and someone seemse to have put it here and it sparked quite a discussion about this huckster.

Britt can argue that he's had millions of customers and that I'm just one ridiculous person but it's interesting that he didn't dispute any of his lies and deceptions that I pointed out because he can't. I don't bother this much about most people who just don't perform. But the thing that concerned me the most was his attitude and I think that's what all these messages are really saying.

I think the best way to describe Britt Phillips is as a con man or a slick huckster. He's just a slime ball to stay away from or at least be wary of. That's the bottom line and why I took the time to post so much detail about the experience I had with him.

I say that very simply because I have many people who I've personally taught how to make a lot of money with Coastal. In fact several of them have recently flown at their expense (some as far away as 4,500 miles) to record their video testimonials. Anyone with half a brain knows no one would do that unless they were making really good money and having success! The FACTS are I help people who want to make money and not excuses. The ones who make excuses make nothing and then blame me because all their money troubles aren't resolved. The ones who work the program with my help, use our awesome tools such as the nationwide ad coop which reaches 14 million people a month, and our automated voice broadcast system which calls 500 people in less than ten minutes, they make money and are VERY pleased.

That's just how Britt Phillips acts...curt, rude and like an a*s.

This just makes you look very foolish. How can you speak for all Coastal directors? If what you say is true then why have so many other directors joined my success team?

The bottom line is that no matter what opportunity you join, effort is required. I work very closely with my group and I have plenty of people who will gladly step up and confirm the FACTS which are I help people who truly want to succeed do so.

Not very professional if you ask me.

Karen now you are simply going off the deep end. What wild outrageous claims will you dream up next?

Karen wrote:
>>#3 In the entire time we worked with Britt Phillips we didn't sell 1 package. Mind you, Britt is the one doing the calling and talking
to prospects, so really HE didn't sell anything.

Karen you left out the part where you would call the people up and blow the sale first by not listening to me when I tried multiple times to teach you how to do it the right way. Then by the time we got them on the phone you had turned them off to the program and it was an uphill battle to get them to even stay on the phone long enough to close a sale. Come on Karen, be honest. You know I told you many times to not call these fresh prospects up and mess them up but to let me do the talking to direct them to the website and follow up.

Karen wrote:
>>I believe the reason is because he turns people off with his attitude. It's just the way he is.
We actually joined Coastal AGAIN under a different director, paid another
$1,000 because we wanted to work with a new director and have nothing to do with Britt. We worked with our new director for less
then 2 weeks and made director in that time!
We didn't even come close to selling just 1 package when working with Britt.

Karen once again you are lying and you know it. What you actually did was find someone who sold you a directors release and made you a director instead of working the program the right way to earn your training sales. This practice is not allowed by the company and pretty soon anyone caught doing it will have their director status pulled and will no longer be able to sell the packages to anyone, period.

>>#4. Britt Phillips uses hype, exaggerated income claims and lies to recruit people into Coastal Vacations. Case in point:
He has a quote on his website: "You can be earning $3,000-$5,000 WEEKLY in a little as 10 days from the day we start working together. And Yes I can prove it to you."

Karen this is outright slander and I'm of good mind to simply turn the matter over to counsel at this point. The FACTS are I do not lie to anyone, nor did I lie to you. I told you before you sent the money you would need to work the program and also that effort would determine your success. And as for the quote, I have many people who have earned MORE than that. One of my recent people earned $23,000. in 30 days and you will see his video testimonial very soon on the new website. You can never dispute the FACTS.

Karen wrote:
>>It's very suspicious how that "10 days" is EXACTLY the number of days you have to request a refund from Britt Phillips.
Remember, Britt only accepts guaranteed forms of payment, NOT credit cards, so the chance of getting a refund even if you do request before 10 days are slim.

The ten day refudn policy is not mine., It's set by the company. The payment acceptance policy is not mine. It's also set by the company. The reason is very simple. People are shipped a $20,000. package and before it is shipped the company wants to make sure they are paid! And for the record, you never asked me for a refund.

Karen wrote:

>>Karen you are trying to use a crutch here that unless every person who joins me or anyone else in Coastal starts earning thousands weekly, then the director is somehow to blame. Most people with even a little bit of common sense understand they have to put forth effort. This is simply grossly unfair and you know it. I'd be interested to know if you have at least two people who joined the program with you who have made any money? Do you? And if you don't are we to assume YOU are the reason and that you lied to them and threw hype at them?

Karen Wrote:

>>Again Karen this is an outright lie! You do not know because you aren't me and you can not speak for me. Again this makes you look very foolish. The FACT is I did correspond with the BBB by both letter and telephone. I invited anyone they wanted to send to my home to check out my lifestyle and to see with their own eyes that I am in fact successful. I however draw the line at having to violate the privacy of those who have signed up with me who did not sign up to have their personal and private information shared with anyone else. And besides, no sales company is going to turn over their coveted client list anyway. And it does not make them anything but very wise to not do it!

If you are talking about the live chat feature which allows YOU to track YOUR visitors, YOU have YOUR password for that and can change it at any time. I don't have any need at all to send people to YOUR site when mine has much more proof of success etc. This makes absolutely zero sense.

Karen Wrote:

>>I actually agree with this part. If a person looks at the FACTS instead of Karens blatant lies, will clearly see I have no problem proving every single word I say and that appears on my website. And I'm also always open to having anyone visit me in person to see my lifestyle for themselves. I live in a 6,000 sq. ft., almost half million dollar custom built home that I owe the grace of God and the wonderful program I've worked for the past six years with great success.

Karen I will be most happy to debate any issue with you but I caution you against any further slander and lies on your part. It is not my intention to cause you monetary loss but if you do not cease and desist this immediately I will turn the matter over to counsel and I assure you the matter will be handled swiftly. You can not jump on the web and just start spouting lies and slaner at will without being held accountable for it.

God Bless you and I hope you find true success some day.

#6 Consumer Suggestion

Coastal Vacations Britt Phillips lies false advertising and fraud.

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

POSTED: Thursday, September 23, 2004

Mr. Britt Phillips,

Your so called "undisputable facts" are very disputable.

I am posting here because my husband
Bobby said you were posting lies here, to try and CYA.

For the record, here is what Britt Phillips wont tell you, in addition to what the other posters have said...
Britt uses his famous line "They thought they could go to bed poor and wake up rich"
That was never our goal. We simply wanted an opportunity where there was good money to be made, and with the proper effort one could
produce a lot of money.

The reason Britt Phillips has so many negative reports on him and ask any Coastal Vacations director and they will almost always tell you they've heard of him, and what they have heard or experienced is NOT a good experience.
That's just how Britt Phillips acts...curt, rude and like an a*s.

I left Britt Phillips for a number reasons:

#1 being I didn't want to wind up on the bbb.com myself for doing business like Britt Phillips.

#2 We were calling a prospect and Britt cursed at him on the phone.
Not very professional if you ask me.

#3 In the entire time we worked with Britt Phillips we didn't sell 1 package. Mind you, Britt is the one doing the calling and talking
to prospects, so really HE didn't sell anything.

I believe the reason is because he turns people off with his attitude. It's just the way he is.
We actually joined Coastal AGAIN under a different director, paid another
$1,000 because we wanted to work with a new director and have nothing to do with Britt. We worked with our new director for less
then 2 weeks and made director in that time!
We didn't even come close to selling just 1 package when working with Britt.

#4. Britt Phillips uses hype, exaggerated income claims and lies to recruit people into Coastal Vacations. Case in point:
He has a quote on his website: "You can be earning $3,000-$5,000 WEEKLY in a little as 10 days from the day we start working together. And Yes I can prove it to you."

It's very suspicious how that "10 days" is EXACTLY the number of days you have to request a refund from Britt Phillips.
Remember, Britt only accepts guaranteed forms of payment, NOT credit cards, so the chance of getting a refund even if you do request before 10 days are slim.

Ask Britt Phillips the percentage of people he signs up who are making that claimed $3-5K a week. My guess is almost none. I'm not saying there haven't been a few who achieved it, but those that have would have done so without the help of Britt Phillips anyway.

Make a note of this as well. The Better Business Bureau requested BASIC information from Britt about his business, Britt did NOT respond to ANY of the Bureau's requests for nformation. He also COULDN'T and wouldn't provide just 10 names of people who were satisfied with the product he sold them and who are making that reported $3-5K a week.

As to Mr. Phillips claims that his "group" has certain tools and advantages, that's just Britt blowing smoke.

Britt teaches people NOT to attend coastal conference calls or events. He does this to gain more control over people, so they don't learn the "real" Coastal Vacations business. He also has you buy his coastal website which includes all of HIS links on YOUR site, which YOU pay for!

He will also try and sell you on several "enhancements" for your website which he uses to track YOUR own visitors to steal from you!! Incredible but true.

I think any person who does their due diligence and looks at the real cold hard facts here will see the truth.

The truth is Britt Phillips has a history of lies, false advertising and fraud.
All of which have been clearly documented from the different posters in this report.

#5 REBUTTAL Owner of company

The FACTS don't lie only EXCUSE makers do.

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

POSTED: Tuesday, September 21, 2004

Here are the undisputable facts.

I'm one of the top income earners in the history of the opportunity I work. "Work" being the operative word. Sadly many (especially in the business opportunity arena) think they can go to bed poor and wake up rich. Unfortunately when that does not happen, they like to blame anyone and anything they can because they themselves did not put forth the required effort.

If you check out computermillions.com in the next couple weeks, you'll see a brand new site design complete with multiple VIDEO testimonials of several people I've taught how to make serious money.

It's very important to point out here that none of these people were comensated in any way for their testimonials. Some flew as far away as 4,500 miles and at their expense!

Simple ask yourself why they would be willing to do that? The answer is VERY simple. They are people who make money and not excuses. They don't blame the world. They take action and make things happen.

So Bobby, here's an open challenge to you. Provide a link on your website to video testimonials of real people you personally have taught how to make serious money. I'd love to see them and I bet any other level headed person reading this would as well.

Rebuttal to unfair slander against Britt Phillips

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

POSTED: Tuesday, September 21, 2004

Bobby you approved your website package and still use it to this day on your website. And you know that.

Bobby you never worked with me in any other capacity and you know that as well. Your WIFE (when she would call when she was supposed to for follow up prosect calls) made a few calls with me to send people to the website however rarely did she follow up properly. Bobby you can't blame me or anyone else for your own lack of follow through.

My group now enjoys several great tools and I wonder how you will argue or try to attack this one...

I have several people who have already flown at their own expense from as far away as thoudands of miles to record their personal video testimonials. Gee, why in the world would they do that? Hmmmm, could it be they are having success because they actually want to make money instead of excuses? Sure it is. At any rate, very soon, our group will have the ONLY website for the program with video testimonials.

Britt Phillip's history of ripping people off...

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

POSTED: Monday, September 20, 2004

I want to corroborate Bill's
report made here on the ripoffreport.com

I worked with Britt a while back and
experienced a very similar bad experience
which Bill has described in detail above.

No matter what Britt claims there are
many others who he has given the same type
of treatment to and worse. In fact, I have
heard worse which I will document here:
This should leave you with no doubt that
Britt Phillip's and the Worldwide Ad Network
have a history of ripping people off.

Go to the Better Business Bureau website:
bbb.com
Search for Britt's company name:
Worldwide Ad Network.

You will clearly see an unsatisfactory
record due to unanswered and unresolved complaints.

Do a search on this site: Simply search
for Britt Phillips. You will have even
more proof of the lies and scams Britt has
done to others.

The below website link is a little old
but it will show you that what Bill and I are saying is being reported by LOTS of other
people.
You can view the article on Britt Phillip's
here:

http://vanarc.com/friedspam28.html

I decided to respond to Bill's original
report because Britt stated that Bill was
just one person who has a bad experience.
After you review all the above evidence
you will know that is a lie.

I will echo the statements of others
on the website: Britt Phillip's and
the Worldwide Ad Network are NOT to be
trusted!

#2 Consumer Comment

I wanted to corroborate Bill's Rip-Off report on Britt Phillips.

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

POSTED: Sunday, September 19, 2004

I know for a fact that Bill is telling
the truth from my own experience.

I worked with Britt Phillips a while
back and had a very similar bad experience
when dealing with Mr. Phillips.

Whenever an individual such as Britt
Phillips tries to use their faith in
business to somehow prove they are a
"good" guy when the truth is he is anything
but. I have learned that these kinds of people
are just trying to make you feel more comfortable

I am here to tell you that Britt Phillips
and the Worldwide Ad Network are a waste
of your money.
Don't buy into the lies and hype he feeds you.

If need more proof visit
the Better business bureau website:
bbb.com
search for: Worldwide Ad Network
This is Britt's company name.
The company has an unsatisfactory record
with the bureau due to unanswered and unresolved complaints.

For even further proof do a search on this website for Britt Phillips. You have to wonder just how many people have been ripped off by
Britt Phillips. My guess is A LOT.

Let these reports and the evidence provided
warn you to stay away from Britt Phillips.
