Auction Success Group, Internet Auction Solutions, Bright Builders Multiple Rip-offs! ebay FRAUD! Credit card fraud! Boise Idaho

After my divorce in 2008, I got a call from Internet Auction Solutions. They did seem a bit pushy, but at the time I was in a heck of a bind financially, and I didn't know anything about ebay or the Internet.

I ended up signing up with Internet Auction Solutions and their entire program for more than $7,000! After I completed the enrollment and got off the phone, I felt horrible inside. There are soooo many scams and bad people out there I thought I had made a huge mistake. I called to cancel and spoke with the Public Relations person I think David was his name. He informed me that I had already been outside of the recision period. He also asked if things had dramatically changed financially for me. He wanted to know if I had won the lottery or something. I told him no and asked why he asked the question. He said that I had before me an entire system, including software, tools, products, and professional coaching. He also pointed out that if I had not won the lottery I should probably start using the system to make a solid income. I knew my financial situation was horrible, people at work were being laid off everywhere. He also pointed out that they offered a complete service guarantee, and would guarantee that I would at least double my initially investment. The other option I has was to quit and receive nothing. He urged me to proceed and use the system.

I am a Christian woman and spent a few days praying and consulting with friends. On November 1, 2008 I started the coaching and training and put up my first set of auctions. Since then, I have been sooooo happy I did. The following has occurred since Nov, 1, 2008:

1. I have averaged about 45 auctions per week, about $450 per week in profit!!!!!
2. I have learned the market research tool to find out what I need to sell on ebay.
3. I work part time for a florist, and crossing guard 2 weekly, this new home business gived me the freedom with about 1 hour per day to make around $2000 monthly.

When I first signed up, my friends and family were very skeptical, as was I.

But I did have a friend that told me she used to work for the Bowflex company. She asked my if I thought any of the executives at Bowflex felt guilty for building and selling people an exercise machine that less that 10% of the buyers actually use. I said no. its not up to the Bowflex people to make sure the people that buy their machines actually put in the work and see results!! I guess it's the same with this and just about anything. The IAS program is working for me, because I did what I was told. I went to every appointment. I did every assignment. Today I have great respect for David at Internet Auction Solutions. I'm not even sure if he still works there. But his professional push got me to take advantage of what I had in front of me.

Today, I'm soooo happy he did.

This is to add to my rebuttal the other day. I found out that even though Internet Auction Solutions claims to pay hugh bucks to be only one of 3 companies that ebay allows to research their database for marketing statistics, anyone can do this for free at www.terapeak.com or search ebay's market research program.

Luckily my wife was able to investigate negative comments about this company on her laptop while "Arthur" was applying the high pressure, make a decision now, sales pitch to me. And yes, what a coincidence that after a 2 hour pitch, the fee came down to just under what I regrettingly divulged to these people up front. The first thing they will ask you is what your credit card or cards, limits are. Then they want to know what your home is worth and what you owe on it. Then they will want to know what your credit rating is. Then they will determine how motivated you are. Are you one of millions out of work and need to get going now? They will tell you they are one of 3 companies that have eBay's proprietary marketing information. Then they will change directions quickly into a long sales pitch. Very convincing. Then they will show you how the business will pay for for the mentoring program itself as you go along without using your own money. These are not new sales techniques and I don't know if they are legal or not but personally I feel they are very deceptive especially when He attempted to extract $8.400 from me while I was reading about others on my wife's laptop that paid from $1,700 to $5,300 or more. He stated firmly- This is the price of the program. At that point, I lost total credibility in IAS because I was reading otherwise on the laptop. I'm not saying that the business won't pay for the mentoring but I don't spend that much on something I know nothing about. I don't know this mentoring company at all. It could be a good or a bad company, I don't know. I looked the mentoring company up online and it appears you can join them without even going through IAS. Again, the mentoring company they hook you up with may be legit but I don't have a good feeling about IAC, the middle man.
Because of this, I've asked Mr. Ao Pauga at the Utah Consumer Protection Division (www.consumerprotection.utah.gov) to determine for me if this is a deceptive situation. We'll see what he has to tell me. He is the one who sues and fines companies in Utah for hurting the public.
