-THEY WOULDNT TELL YOU PRICE OF MEMBERSHIP OVER THE PHONE. THEY SHOW YOU ADS OF OTHER CO'S AND GIVE EX: OF MFG COSTS. THIS IS ALL THEY SHOW YOU BEFORE THEY ASK FOR THE $5,000. THEN THEY SAY IF YOU DONT TAKE IT NOW - YOU CANT COME BACK. WE WALKED OUT. WE DIDNT EXPECT TO SPEND THAT MUCH WITHOUT DOING ANY HW ON THIS CO. AND THEY EXPECT YOU TO MAKE THE DECISION OR FOREVER BE BANNED- WHAT AN INSULT!! THEY GUY TALKING TO US SAID I REALLY DONT CARE IF YOU JOIN OR NOT-I DONT GET COMMISSION- TRANSLATION TO ME -THEY PAY ME REGARDLESS SO I DONT GIVE A s**t. WHAT A RUDE UNPROFESSIONAL SALESPERSON. I ALSO DIDNT EXPECT TO SPEND $10,000 JUST TO SAVE $5,000. THIS MIGHT WORK FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS A LOT OF HOME REPAIRS OR RENOVATIONS. BUT FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME THAT JUST HAS A COUPLE OF THINGS TO DO-PAYING RETAIL IS CHEAPER. I HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM OTHER BLOGS THAT PEOPLE WERE NOT SATIFIED WITH PRODUCT OR DELIVERY. THATS PRETTY BAD AFTER YOU PLUNK DOWN $5,000. THEY ALSO STATE ITS MEMBERS ONLY AND YOU SHOULD BE LOYAL TO THEM, THE MFG'S AND THE RETAILERS. TELL ME WHO IS LOYAL TO THEIR EMPLOYER ANYMORE- PLEASE. THEY ALSO FEED YOU THE LINE IF YOU GO BACK TO THE RETAILER WITH THE MFG PRICE THEY WILL GET UPSET. I AM SURE THE RETAILER WONT CARE AT ALL AND JUST SAY - SORRY WE CANT MATCH THE PRICE. I AM SURE THE WHOLESALER WOULDNT CARE EITHER. IF THIS STORE IS ANY GOOD I CERTAINLY DONT LIKE THE TACTICS THEY USE TO "LURE" YOU IN. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CO. IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF GIVING THEM $5000 FOR THE FIRST 2 YEARS ONLY THEN $180 A YEAR AFTER THAT FOR ONLY ANOTHER 8 YEARS. SO THAT NOW TURNS INTO ALMOST $6500. BUYER BEWARE...

THESE PEOPLE WERE ADVERTISING LIKE EVERYTHING ON MY FAVORITE RADIO STATION MORNING TALK SHOW
AUTHOR: Joe - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 18, 2009
IN FALL OF 2008, I HEARD THIS COMPANY BEING ADVERTISED ALMOST EVERY DAY 24/7 IN RADIO SPOTS READ BY THE MORNING RADIO TALKSHOW HOSTS THAT I LIKE AND TRUST AND I THINK THEY MUST HAVE GIVEN THE RADIO PEOPLE FREE MEMBERSHIPS OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I LIKE THESE TALK SHOW HOSTS AND WAS ALMOST CONVINCED TO GO AND GIVE THESE PEOPLE A TRY.
I THINK WHAT STOPPED ME WAS I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE A CATCH TO IT LIKE MAYBE SAM'S CLUB OR COSTCO.
YOU HAVE TO BE EMPLOYED SOMEWHERE TO GET A SAM'S CLUB MEMBERSHIP AND SINCE JOBS AROUND HERE AREN'T THAT DEPENDABLE OR EVEN STABLE, I COULDN'T HAVE JOINED EVEN IF I WANTED TO. BESIDES ,WITH MY LUCK, I WOULD HAVE PENT ALL MY MONEY JOINING AND THEN LOST THE JOB AND WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AB LE TO BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM ANYWAY.
I DID GET A FREE MEMBERSHIP FROM COSTCO BUT LOST MY JOB BEFORE I COULD EVER GO THERE AND BY THE TIME I GOT ANOTHER JOB, I GUESS MY CARD EXPIRED. I NEVER TRIED TO EVEN USE IT.
SO I GUESSED IT WOULD BE THE SAME WITH THESE PEOPLE.
I BARELY MAKE ENOUGH TO PAY MY PROPERTY TAXES AND TO AFFORD SOME GROCERIES AND PAY THE WATER BILL SINCE WE CAN'T AFFORD ELECTRICITY WHERE I LIVED AND IF THERE WASN'T A COMPUTER FOR PUBLIC USE AT OUR LIBRARY, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO USE THE COMPUTER AT ALL.
$5,000 IS MORE THAN I MADE IN THE PAST TWO YEARS!
I HOPE IT WILL GET BETTER AFTER I FINISH SCHOOL BUT MORE THAN LIKELY IT WON'T AND NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER DEPRESSION TO RIVAL THE 1930S THEY TELL ME... THIS PLACE NEVER GOT OVER THE FIRST DEPRESSION IN THE 1930S.
I AM GLAD I DIDN'T FALL FOR THAT SPIEL ON THE RADIO. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH EVERY PENNY.
THANKS FOR THE WARNING AND I GUESS I REALLY CANT BELIEVE EVERYTHING I HEAR ON THE RADIO OR IN ANY MASS MEDIA THIS DAY.
I DO BELIEVE WHAT I READ ON THE RIP OFF REPORT HOWEVER.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT POOR FOLK LIKE ME NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM!
