Ims Barter Club Pyramid New Berlin Wisconsin

I run a small business and was called by an IMS Barter representative. It seemed like a good Idea and I soon had some business for which I was paid with IMS Barter dollars. I continued to collect about 300. The brochure that I was given showed many, many opportunities to spend the Barter Dollars that I had earned. IMS called me and gave me some business that I was unable to do. I charged nothing for my effort despite having made two 15 mile trips. At that point IMS canceled my account. But I still had the Barter dollars. I needed some dental work so I went to a dentist and tried to spend the IMS dollars. After the work was complete, the dental office said I would have to pay cash because they could not contact the IMS representative to take my Barter dollars. I asked if I could pay with barter dollars later and get my cash back (an amount of half the bill). The dental office said no. This went on for some time. I was unable to use the barter dollars I had earned anywhere,. About a year went by and my barter dollars were going to be canceled, so desperately after many calls, I found something to purchase. Total junk! of course! Overall impression, elitist insider club that takes advantage of newbies, you can provide services for 'Barter Dollars', but good luck doing something with them.
