Aldnet Media Group ripoff; False Advertising, deceptive advertising, fraud Ohio

It is amazing to find that this company is being placed on the burners at this time as it was only a week ago that I discovered I had been ripped off. I spent a total of $48.95 with this company thinking I was getting something only to discover that what I had paid for was completely different from what I had actually received. I have since learned that to be a legitimate wholesaler, they cannot charge a fee to use the services. The following is what they advertised and the communication I had sent them along with their response:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Here's what is part of our wholesale club membership package:

Question:

Hello,

My question is regarding the items listed in my store. I do not know from where they are being shipped, neither the return policy. How can I be sure the items are even in stock? Is there a way to communicate with them as to how to instruct my customers regarding returns? Lastly, where are the items mentioned in the sales pitch-"Access to thousands of in demand products at ROCK BOTTOM WHOLESALE prices...avg. retail markup on some products is as high as 1000%." The "wholesale" price of the items are so high that it makes it difficult to keep my prices competitive AND make a decent profit. List my merchandise on EBay? No way! Thank you for your help.

Response:

The products on 411 shops is something totally different and is a bonus to your membership. To access the products that you mentioned, you need to log into the members area of the wholesale website and see the dropshippers dirctory. You can contact these vendors for product.




The thousands of items they are advertising on their site are freely accessible from the 411 site without signing up for membership or a website. The VERY FEW items they claim "is a bonus" were priced so high that there was little room for any mark-up and they could only be accessed through "Your own optional sales website".

Shortly after my last communication with them, I received an email from webwealth247 which was promoting another wholesale company (AGS Distributors) which was free to sign up. After signing up and giving them MY UNIQUE USER NAME & PASSWORD, I discovered that the link in the email did not work. I emailed them and later received a link to a different log-in page. My "UNIQUE USER NAME & PASSWORD" did not allow me to log in as I was told that I had the wrong password. I finally emailed them to send me my password. The password was the same one I had given to set up my Wholesale411 website. This left me VERY puzzled. I had not used that particular information for anything else I had signed up for.

The reason I know that I did not give AGS Distributors the password from my Wholesale411 site, is because they sent MY UNIQUE PASSWORD & USER NAME to me in my confirmation email. So, how did it change to the same one I had used for my Wholesale411 site? Needless to say, I was spooked.

I emailed them using their address given to PayPal and this is the response I received:
