Alternative online Design Alternative Online Design took advantage of my desire to make a little extra money Phoenix, Arizona. 85020 Internet

I was called by an individual from Alternative Online Designs that spoke to me for 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours.  She stated that she had been given my name as an individual that might be interested in making $2,000-$2,500 per month just by putting a Website up, and that they had the ability to do so. All that I had to do was give them $950.00 and they would get my website up and running the next day.  I would get commissions from the purchase of computers and computer items; and from people who started on my website and then subsequently clicked on something that took them away from my website and purchased something else. 

I told the individual that I could not afford to pay so much for something that I was not sure would make me any money.  She stated that if I did not make the $950.00 back in the first month, the company would refund my payment (stating that is how great this company is and how much they feel that I would be making money so quickly).  Also, I had three months to try the system out and if at the end of that time I was not happy, I could get a full refund of my payment, less anything I had received in commissions.  Before the website was up and running, I got a call from an individual who said he was the Advertising Director and that I was required to purchase advertising to make the website make the commissions. 

When I was purchasing the website, nothing was said about a $7,500.00 advertising charge, or a $29.95 per month hosting charge.  Within the three days of agreeing to the $7,500.00 advertising fee, I called and cancelled.  However, the third day fell on a Saturday.  Mr. Advertising Director called me on Monday and told me I was too late to get a refund, that there was no “Three days” and if there was, I was too late to get it.  He somehow tried to tell me that the third day was the following Monday (I had called the Saturday before and left messages on at least four telephones) and because I had not called on that Monday, that I was past the three days (I had called within the three days). 

I am on disability, as is my husband and we do not have the money to pay the fees that are required on the $950.00 charge on a charge card and the $2,500 on another card and the $5,000.00 on another card.  I have asked for a refund through the credit card companies, but the Advertising Company seems to state that they have provided me with “work product” and they should be paid for it.  I have not received a penny from any advertising; I have not been given any advertising; I have not used the website and did at least get the credit card company to stop the $29.95 a month hosting fees.  Now, just by looking up the company on the internet, I find that the fees I was charged was excessive from what is on their website for anyone to purchase.
