I was contacted by a man by the name of Ben Murphy from International Marketing Solutions.  He asked me about previous home based businesses and wanted to know if I would like his company to advertise for me.  I told him I was currently not working a business of any sort so I had no need of their services.

Ben then proceeded to tell me of their company's new DIY Loan Modification program and how his company could build a website for me and do all the advertising I would ever need for a nominal rate.  I listened to his rant and actually began to like the idea of this, so I told him I was on board.  I was also personally promised by Mr. Ben Murphy himself that I would see a return on my money within 60 days!!!

I split my payments to the company up in two segments, one being immediately after speaking to him and the other half after 60 days so that I could see how this would work out before I threw all my money away.  After making the first payment I was told that I would be contacted and given a web address that contained my website and another to check the traffic that was going to said site.  Low and behold that e-mail never arrived.

I figured that I would give them a week to process all paperwork and complete whatever site that they were building.  After still not hearing from the company, I then proceeded to call them twice a week.  The only person I could ever get on the phone was a lady, Sicily, who always told me Ben Murphy was out of the office and she didn't know his schedule.  I never heard anything back form them about my site or any advertising that was or had been done until it was time for the second half of my payment.

About the time that the second half of my payment was International Marketing solutions contacted me to find out if I would like them to run the same credit card number.  I told them that I had not heard anything back from them in months and that I wasn't going to give them anymore of my money.  When they asked I told them I could never get in touch with anyone regarding my website or advertising and that they had never even gotten in touch with me about what  the web address even was. 

They then transferred me to a rude little fellow named Brandon who insisted that they sent the information to me and when I persisted that they had not, he then got that information for me and tried to pressure me into giving them the rest of the money.  I told him I was no longer interested in their services and was even so fed up with dealing with them that I told them to keep the half I had already given them and I would just write it off as a tough lesson learned.

Well, apparently it wasn't going to be that easy to get away from this company.  Brandon told me that I just couldn't walk away even if I was going to let them keep half.  He began to throw all kinds of jargon at me and threaten me if I didn't pay them immediately.  He told me that he was going to send me to a collection's agency because I wouldn't give them the money for the other half of money for services I still have not received.  I asked him how this was even a collection's issue and he told me I owed them money.  I stated many times that I was not paying and there was no issue because I had not received services.  He continued to threaten me and told me I would hear from their collections department.

I am now seeking legal representation and looking for a full refund instead of just allowing them to keep half for nothing.  I would suggest that NO ONE ever do business with this company for any reason!

IMS. your rebuttals shouldn't say any thing about someone breaching their contracts. You did not live up to your end of the contract in regards to my dealings with you and you even agreed that you didn't fulfill your end of the bargain. You agreed to refund me $531.66 that was supposed to be sent to me on July 26th 2012. As of today, August 29th 2012 I have received nothing from you. Your company is nothing more that a bunch of scammers and liars. You DO NOT answer your phones at 800-337-8330 as I have called that number daily for a month. Every day that I don't receive my refund I find another business scam site on line and warn as many people as possible to stay away from you and your dishonest company. My name is Kirk Lane and I want my refund.

AUTHOR: International Marketing Solutions - (United States of America)

Mr. Brown enrolled with International Marketing Solutions (IMS) on 1/12/12. He paid 1,000.00 in partial payment towards a $1,595.00 advertising campaign. When Mr. Brown was contacted on 3/12/12 requesting authorization to charge his card the remaining $595.00 as agreed upon in his 6 month agreement that he signed with IMS, he stated that he would call IMS back because he wanted to charge the remaining balance on a different card.  IMS representatives attempted to contact Mr. Brown for two weeks.

When Mr. Brown could not be reached for payment, his campaign was put on hold for nonpayment.  Mr. Brown clearly understood the 6 month agreement that he signed as indicated on our audio recording that was made by IMS representative that sold Mr. Brown the campaign. Additionally, he knew, understood and agreed that all Sales would be final after the recording and written agreement was complete. Mr. Brown at some point called his credit card company and charged back the $1000.00 payment made to IMS.

Clearly he breached his 6 month contract with IMS, therefore our bank took the $1000.00 out of our account and credit back Mr. Browns account until dispute was settled. We instructed our bank to refund the $1000.00 back to Mr. Brown even though it cost our company money to build his website for him. So basically Mr. Brown had a free web page set up for him for about 4 months. And IMS took a loss, so this matter has been resolved as customer has received all his money back. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at 800-337-8330.
