Consumers BEWARE! Cornerstone Marketing Solutions, and the owner/manager/officer, John Hanson is at it again! They have launched a website called "websites4america." There are already complaints against this company because of their deceptive business practices and high pressure techniques.

As I continue to research Cornerstone Marketing solutions, I learn more and more about their deceptive business practices. As a matter of fact, John Hanson has shot himself in the foot in an effort to "cover his tracks" for the fraud perpetrated against me. I continue to gather evidence to file suit against Cornerstone Marketing Solutions, LLC and their partnerships companies, Cornerstone Equity, and websites4america.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE proceed with caution when dealing with these companies. Better yet, don't deal with them at all! They are your typical internet fraud companies!

POSTED: Sunday, September 04, 2011

Where are  they  now?   With  their pleas to  their  merchant cr. card  processing  companies.. global processing  and  atlantic  pacific processint.. to  not  allow  chargebacks  froam  totally  scammed  customers.... what  now!?  With  the  co's.  closed  or  in  hiding  for  months  of  not  answering  the  phone.. it  kinda'  proves  that  they've  not  fulfilled  the  marketing that was  supposed  to  continue  for  at  least  a  yr.  and  3  yrs.  of  commissions.  Makes  ALL defenses  they  have  offered  over  this  past  year  null  and  void,  and  cr. card co's  should  do something  to  repay  the  victims  of  this  Huge FRAUD... bankcard empire and  DW Scott clones  riding  high w/  no  govt.  enforcement? 

Now w/  bankcard  case  dismissed.. where is  the  outrage?

Well rehearsed LIAR......!!!!!!!!!

AUTHOR: Good Dad - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, June 06, 2011

I  see  now  that  this  report  was  from  2  months  prior  to  when  I  got  scammed  by websites4america.  And  cornerstone supposed  owner,  or  so  he  told  me  then  and  said  he  sold  to  EFC  and  Chany  Foerster, or  manager ==== A very  well  rehearsed  and  phoney  friendly  con  man!  

WRONG !   The  folks  complaining  HAVE  truly  been  promised  a  guaranteed  quick  return  on  their  investment;  and  that  the  salesman  is  my  new  found  friend  and  partner  even  splitting  the  cost  of  lead  purchase;  and  the  leads  were  to  be  actual  pre-qualified  businesses;  a  personalized  method  of  sales  is  promised;  then  what  they  and  leslie  mersky,  their  hero,  call  the  advertising campaign  blitz  happens,  and  that  happens  to  be  a  junk  mail  fieasco  to  put  it  kindly.

One  sign  up  out  of  15,000  and  they  will not  even  admit  that  the  leads  are  recycled  or  bogus  to  the  bone!  As  many  here  the  3  yrs.  of  commissions  NEVER  come.  Many  other  promises  by the  salesman,  and  then  this  manager  acts  as  if  he  would  reprimand  such  tactics.  The  truth  is  HE  knew  and  they  sure  seem  too  busy  in  disputes  to  even  call  back......so  saying  they  are  experts  at  one  thing---that  is  shifting  blame  to  first  the  client  and  then  passing  it  around  to EFC  robots.

So  it  IS  MOST  SICKENING  to  hear  that  J.  hanson  wishes  the  original  poster  well;  says  don't  believe  what  you  read;  and  the  god  bless  and  phoney  friend  manner  is  a  soul-less  FRAUD  to  mate  with  all  the  other  numerous  frauds  and  great  injuries  caused  to  the  many  complainers.  That  rich  PUNK  is  hiding  from  ALL  responsibility  for  his  cronies  ripping  off  many,  and  he  making  excuses  for  them  and  for  himself  and  his  troubled  past  revieled.....like  the  victim  of  his  scam  is  supposed  to  feel  sorry  for  a liar  and  thief????

Any  chance  for  actual  transparancy  like  what  comes  from  a  legitimate co.?????

I wonder just how many got ripped off??  We know what happens after they sign someone up = NOTHING but run around grief...I sure hope it returns on them big time.

Justin Johnson is the highest I got to only a couple of times. A Mrs. Strange is the latest one refusing to admit to their condoning Fraudulent sales tactics, and zero follow through for over a year. In a way I am afraid of dealing with these people as they HARM a lot of good people in a BIG way ---- and the families involved --- and they do not give a darn about the damage they do as long as their pocket and the corporation's is fattening off the blood, sweat, and tears of MANY.

80 to 90 yr. old victims that do not know how to post to complaint boards are prime victims.....PREY to these bottom feeders.

Websites4America is a total scam!

AUTHOR: Good Dad - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, June 04, 2011

I  can't  believe  the  employee / owner  can  even  be  allowed  to  say  the  truth  is  out & God  Bless.  He  has  been  condoning  the  FRAUDULENT  sales  pitch  if  not  writing  it  himself.....as  these  same  complaints on  the  same  script  have  been  out  for  the  past  couple  of  yrs.  that  I  know  of.  The  salesman  says  he  can't  possibly  lie  or  hurt  anyone  as  he  is  a  good  Christian.  (no  offense  to  real  Christians!).  These  rip  off  artists  have  cheated  good  seniors  and  others  young  and  old  out  of 100's  of  thousands  of  dollars....causing  financial,  physical  and  emotional  pain  to  MANY  families  all  over  this  country.

A  WWII pearl  harbor, and  batleship  AZ.  survivor  calls  it  an  ABOMINATION  that  they  even  use  the  word  America  in  their  name  as  they  are  SO  anti  the  American  Values  of  goodness.

aka Cornerstone marketing & F-mkt'g....Beware! They sell leads that are supposed to be high quality, pre-qualified by Dun & Bradstreet. The leads are totally useless and MANY have been injured for life by trusting what they sell. They do not deliver what they promise, and only an answering machine with no reply to look forward to. They are somehow partnered with Economic Freedom Corp. that has been in the news report by 3 on your side. Google both names to see these facts. This news report from a month ago is extremely mild as I know of at least 100 victims, some 80 & 90 yr. olds !

http://www.azfamily.com/news/consumer/Valley-business-accused-of-ripping-off-customers-for-tens-of-thousands-of-dollars-122197574.html

This is a  nation wide rip off, and  the  co.  has  condoned the  FRAUDULENT  sales  tactics,  but  deny  it  and  pretend  that  complaints  are  rare.  Scary as  they  are  hurting  good  people  and  act  like the  victims  deserve  their  fate  for  trusting  the  EFC and  web4amer  verbal  sales  pitch.

BEYOND  SHAMEFULL...!

The Truth and facts have been provided.

POSTED: Monday, December 06, 2010

This disgruntled client who's account is no longer active is at it again. Cornerstone Marketing Solutions has responded to her many complaints and provided all the information necessary and we have proven that all her complaints are full of lies and are far from the truth. She has issued numerous complaints in an attempt to receive a refund she is not due. This individual was never guaranteed income and was fully aware that all marketing fees were non-refundable. We wish this person well.

Cornerstone Equity, Cornerstone Marketing Solutions, websites4america

Consumers, by all means, do not take my word for it! Do your own research! Check with the Better Business Bureau in Phoenix, AZ.  You will see where Cornerstone's rating has dropped to a C- and is still falling! Check with the Attorney General's office of AZ. You'll find complaints listed there. Check out the Federal Trade Commission's consumer protection. Check other complaint boards on the internet. Do your research. Just type in: Cornerstone Equity scam, or Cornerstone Marketing Solutions scam, or websites4america scam. You'll get a plethora of information of disgruntled consumers. And just think.....there are ripped off consumers out there that haven't posted anything on a complaint board, or with the BBB, or the Attorney General's office because they don't know how, or they don't know that these resources exist.

As for my complaint..... I had $8500.00 taken from me. John Hanson at Cornerstone Marketing Solution claims he marketed a website I bought from him. But I soon learned that Cornerstone Marketing Solutions doesn' know squat about marketing a website. Heck, their own website is totally irrelevant as far as the search engines go. The graphics are broken and they don't even have a page rank. Would you want an organization taking your money to market a website when their own marketing website is totally irrelevant?

John Hanson calls me a bad apple. You're darn straight I'm a bad apple. Rotten to the core as a matter of fact! Having $8500.00 scammed from me will make a person mad, and rotten, don't you agree?

But don't take my word for it. Protect yourself by doing your research BEFORE signing a contract with Cornerstone Equity, or Cornerstone Marketing Solutions, or websites4america. The proof is in the puddin'.......................

It upset's me to see that this individual has once again submitted false complaints about our company. We are in the middle of responding to a complaint submitted by this individual. We have attempted to resolve all issues with this member but,how can we assist someone who will not allow us to provide assistance? We have provided proof to the numerous agencies in which this person has contacted and the facts have been reviewed and it was found that no wrong has been done to this member as the numerous complaints prior to the only remaining one have been closed in our favor. We run our business with good faith and have many happy and successful members that enjoy doing business with our company. Don't let one bad apple ruin the bunch.




God Bless,
John Hanson
General Manager
