ALTERNATIVE ONLINE DESIGN TOTAL RIPOFF, SCAM, DECEPTIVE, PHOENIX Arizona

I am 82 years old and my wife has Alzheimers.  I was looking for a work from home business.  After answering a work from home ad, I was inundated with offers.  One of these offers was a phone call from Alternative Online Design.

 I was a little familiar with on line marketing and Amazon.  They offered to set me up with an Amazon online store that would sell merchandise that Amazon would ship and collect payment for and send me a commission.  It sounded like a good program to me so I paid the $399.00 purchase price with a money back gurantee.  However the original contract was with a company called AT Web Design LLC.  

I received several calls from Alternative Online Design enquiring as to the available credit on my credit cards.  Then I received a call that explained how I could increase my earnings up to $2,000 per month.  The cost for these increased earnings worked out to be the exact amount of available credit I had on my credit cards, $6,800.  I explained that if I did not see an immediate return on my investment I would not be able to repay the credit cards.  I was assured that the income from my new business would be more than enough to service the debt on my credit cards.

So my store was aet up and it looked beautiful.  I could just see the money rolling in from all the traffic that Alternative Online Design was to direct to my new website.  About a month later I received a check for $100.  They explained that it was a commission check.  About a month later I received another $100 commission check.  I was excited becuse this was just the beginning of the promised 75,000 visitors I would have to my website.

Then nothing until I filed a complaint  with the BBB.  I received a call promising to make everything right beginning with an appointment the following Tuesday.  The appointment was a no show.  A message was left on my answering machine a couple of hours later.  We have been playing telephone tag for the last week.

 In my opinion these people are scam artist preying on ignorant peoples greed to make an easy buck.
