I dropped 45k on these fools, wait, I'm the fool now. I listened to all the BS they could sling. I called their bogus, employee, references. I took it all, hook line and sinker. Here is the info WSICORPORATE.COM is just a website to make it look legit.. Address 5915 Airport Road Mississauga Ontario L4V 1T1 Here are the contacts I spoke with ;Hoarace, 404-852-9675, Alex 215-873-5222 and Berry, 202-633-8994 WSI has contacts in 27 countries, BS, not real contacts, Chamber of Commerce's don't count as contacts fools. Why don't you take some of that money us poor members have sent you and develop us a real business, instead of vacationing in the sunny Bahamas. I won't quit pestering you and filleting your poor business ethics until I get my refund. George, I have your number, I will call you tomorrow. Shiela Markley ville, West Virginia

#5 UPDATE EX-employee responds
my experience I think that they are a bunch of overworked overzealous hypocrites
AUTHOR: C - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 11, 2005
I used to work for the company and frankly I think that they are a bunch of overworked overzealous hypocrites. They fired me because I was not willing to work more than 35 hours a week and I did not subscribe to their cult like positive attitude like they think they are somehow better than other people.
As far as I am concerned - It does not matter that they have been rated #1 - they are too indoctrinated like they are going to be the next Microsoft. Like that is a great thing to want to be Microsoft is just a Capitalist Bully that works there employees to death and they are out to crush every one of their competitors to me it's a pretty shallow goal to want to be like them.
I was a good person before this company destroyed me since they fired me 6 months ago for no good reason, my wife has left me and I will tell the world what a piece of s**t company this is until the day I die.
Here is my gift of retaliation I am posting a copy of their Top Secret Project they have been working on developing as a joint project with the Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute

$50,000 is a lot of money just to learn a lesson. But I learned my lesson, WSI is a freakign scam. My god I can't believe I fell for their lies and BS.
The whole nine months I was with them I never once made any money. Their training left me stupider than when I started and they never answered a question I asked them with a straight answer. They always tried to put things back on me.

They figures a good wany to make money. They are scammers selling air. They are a sham and do not come thorough on wha t is promosed, like training, supplier, business assistance, anything. They take your money and run. Its sad these people are not in jail, where they belong. I wish I did not ever invest here, because now I am broke and lost. I had to sell my home and pay back the loans. I have had nothing but problems with WSI. Thanks for nothing!

WSI SCAM

Personal mentor on vacation more than at work. That just about sums this BS business up. After you pay your set-up fees you are on your own. Try getting help when you need it, forget about it. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! They are the worst and are so freaking blatant about it. They only make money off of the franchise fees, NOT IF YOU MAKE MONEY!!!

WSI Lied to get my franchise money
AUTHOR: Margo - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 17, 2005
When I started my search for a franchise, I came across WSI. I couldn't really tell what they do, the ad is very,,,,,confusing. So I inquired, 1 888 678 7588, spoke with William@WSIINC.com. He did a great job, selling the business to me. I called the 3 other associates for their experiences, all good of course. RA was one of the associates I spoke with, this is one of WSI s Platinum members. So I took the agreement looked it over, and took 40k out of my 401k. I attended the training classes, with 12 other new associates. When speaking with them, we all got the same sales pitch from William. Having paid for the training and web support access, I am not completely at a loss, as to what I was thinking. I have had nothing short of a full and total loss in this investment. Not one thing has materialized that William and the training team indicated would happen. For every single piece of information I need, I make approx calls or emails to WSI for the answer, poor response time to say the least. I have has 3 other successful franchises in the past, I am not new or naive to the business and don't expect WSI to do my work, but this is not even close to what was promised.
