Specialty Merchandise Corporation SMC Refused to give refund! Ripoff!! Fraud practices!! Simi Valley, California

Your are absolutly right. There is a certain amount of "puffing" about the success potential but just like any sales business, it takes a certain type of individual to make it.

Also, a great deal of hard work. Most people today are not looking for that, they want the get rich quick plan.

This is not in any way refering to SMC's products since I have no knowlege of them but....A good salesman can sell anything, as evident by the many ROR's posted from people that purchased worthless or defective products.

I was involved with SMC for a time. I no longer am involved becuase my "tastes" have changed and not because of anything bad about SMC.

I read many of the negative comments on here and I have to say that I am disspaointed, but not surprised. One disgruntled person says that he did not make money after just one day and then he gave up and wanted a refund!

Really?

Hmm. You may want to rethink the whole wanting to be an entrepenur thing. My experience with SMC was really good. I found t eh customer service to be excellent, the products they offered provided a decent profit and I did fairly well with it. I even visited their warehouse and was VERY impressed with their operation.

I'm sorry to hear people saying negative things about them, but I will tell you they are a class operation, with a great opportunity (although they could update a some of their marketing materials/programs a little) and i can tell you first hand they really do care.

That said, I have to mention this. Most folks getting into a business like this are looking for fast easy money and getting rich overnight or they just have no business being in business for themselves. Sorry. It had to be said.

Those are the ones that fail.

SMC has been around a very long time and many have done well with it. But like any business endeavor, you have to WORK it or the business will NOT WORK for you.

On emore thing, I have NEVER run into customer service issues or ever failed to get a call or email back from them. It is unfortunate and not the norm, but the exception that happens to all businesses at some point. If McDonalds gave us poor customer service or took too long to get your food, would you consider THEM a scam? Of course not. My guess i sthe infrastructure of SMC may be growing faster than they can keep up at times, so they do need to correct that if that's the case.

Thanks for listening.
