Ecoquest International - Best Finance ripoff, basically lie to you to get you into the business Collersville Tennessee

I can only say that just let the technology prove itself ... very few people have no clue
just how bad there indoor air quality is ...after trying a FreshAir by Ecoquest out you might be surprised at how many people jump at the chance to have a clean home..by the way I'm 84 and i would have no reason to fib...

I am an employee and I have only been with the business for 3 months! I am currently moving up the ladder fast! I have placed 30 purifier units in the last 2 1/2 months. I am currently on pace to make 6 digit income and also have effected many families life in the meantime. Selling anything may be hard. You will here "no" but any sales with any company is a numbers game. I havent had a problem selling my success packs i have gone through 6 of them myself in the last 2 months and my team has gone through a total of 22 of them in the 2 months! You have to have your ducks in a row and now your facts! Presentation is everything. This is the best purifier on the market and that is why the price is the way it is. We are the only clinically and NASA approved system out there. There is no other purifier out there than can cover and area and control the amount of ozone that is produced! We have over 200 units tied to the pentagon. The system is great! We are now very active in the CF community and very active in the asthma and allergy community. We have been placed in many colleges nationwide. As sales person if you present the product properly the system will sell it self!

I dont know where most of these negative responses about EcoQuest are coming, or why they are coming. But it IS NOT $3000 to get started. Its $49. It is up to you to purchase a fast start kit, or an individual purifier.

Secondly, this is no pyramid scheme. The effort you put into this business will equal the results you get out. Its marketing, and sells a great product. But if you dont put any effort into it, why would you expect anything? If your plan, when joining the company, was to go to your family and friends to get your business started, then you werent serious about it in the first place. No one gets rich off their friends and family.

I would suggest to anyone to seriously ingestigate this company before getting started, as I did. If you have the extra time to put into it, then I say go ahead. But dont expect something if your effort level is 0.

By the way, there is a good reason why NASA uses the FreshAir purifier in their space shuttles. They have the money to buy and use the best, and they do.

It is funny how so many people will complain when something doesn't work out for them. But usually, as long as things are going fine, there is no thought of posting about success.

It seems there are a lot of negaive initial reports here on this site about EcoQuest, however, are "defended" as someone mentioned by those who are willing to work for thier successes.

I do not think "defend" is the right term to use at all. More like provide the facts. It seems that when someone wants to vent about how THEY failed and want to blame someone else for thier failure, they tend to leave out the details to take the blame off them.

I am an EcoQuester (been with this company 5 yrs). I am not rich, nor successful yet. But this business and thier products are the best there is, hands down. They have the testing to prove it. My parents are my managers and I have seen first hand their growth in the company, financially, and personally as well.

I am lucky to have great Managers and leaders in my organization. Unfortunately, not everyone can be a good leader, which is a downfall to MLM systems. But if you are buying a business, you need to be your own leader. Don't blame others for your lack of involvment.

a lot of the ebay units are left over warehouse purchases and don't carry warrantys so if people buy them they are getting beat.

Actually, first I want to say that I paid $50. to sign on with Ecoquest and chose to work hard to educate myself on the technology. I didn't buy a success pack at first but I sold 3 units on the information alone. When I got Certified as a mold inspector we were told that Ecoquest made the best technology in the world and now that I own one and have seen all the testing done by Kansas State University and the University of Cincinatti, I agree.

I think the problem is that you probably had zeal for the company and the products because of the excitement of the person who signed you up. Ecoquest was rated the #1 business opportunity in the world 2x and Bits and Pieces Magazine gave it a five coin rating which no other company in the world has ever recieved. Success from Home mag featured them in Oct 06 and is doing it again in Jan 07. Healthier You Mag also featured them in Oct 06.

Point being is it is easier to sell if you have units and a success pack is best. The units practically sell themself if you know how to approach people. People don't want to be sold but they love to buy. I tell people that I am doing a field trial and am not interested in selling them a unit but would rather they try it and give me their feedback and in most cases after I walk them through the sanitization process, the buy it. I am sorry that you failed, but it was because you didn't try hard enough and gave up easily.

My manager works part time, drives a Volvo SUV that Ecoquest pays for and makes a lot of money but he helps me a lot. It is unfortunate that you got signed up by an irresponsible mgr cuz you really have a great opportunity. I signed up just to add to my mold business and now I am all about Ecoquest. I love it and financing the successpack a few months later was the best thing I ever did. Ecoquest is not a rip off at all. It is an opportunity like no other.

As far as MLM, everyone knows Kirby vacuums are the best in the world and they are mlm too. The salesman can be a pain but the product is the best, so is Ecoquest. They have the only technology in air purification certified by the space foundation. When I can easily pay cash for my childrens college 20 yrs from now I will have ecoquest to thank...and my mgr of course. To all of you who signed up and got burned, please call me if you still have the machines and I will help you sell them. (( phone number removed by ROR)) , even if I have to call local places and set up trials for you. Though you may have come accross a bad dealer, the company as a whole is about helping eachother succeed!

Well Steve, there are a lot of companies that cost less than $3,000 dollars to get started on a business. In fact, $3,000 is really a lot, considering that Ameriplan is less than $100.

I have to say that I am not surprised by the comments on this site. EcoQuest International is a cutting edge technology based company, who has chosen multi level marketing as their sales strategy. Most people who decide to become a dealer, and yes I said decide, because no one can make you do something you dont want to do, anyways Most people decide to become a business owner for the wrong reason.


They have this crazy idea that they can sit at home and buy leads or sit in front of the computer the day after they recieve their success pack and bam! magically everyone wants to buy. Well it doesn't work that way, It does not work that way in any company. You have to first take responsibility for your own success and educate yourself before you make the descision to start a business. Just because this is mlm does not mean that it is not a real business. You have to know how to market and advertise. you have to. You can not sit there and blame the person who told you about ecoquest for not showing you how.


You must take responsibility and learn these things on your own. Also you have to educate yourself on the product that you are choosing to market. So that you can be the best servant to your market place. It is so typical of our society today to sit on their but and blame everyone else for their misfortune. Why is it that we have people that come from a 3 world country with nothing and are millionaires in this business. I think it all has to do with their outlook. They are not looking for a hand out, they dont have welfare syndrome. They understand that success in any business takes work. Which is obviously not something most people are willing to do.


The fact is you stated that "if you are looking to buy thats fine" so you must have confidence in the product. The fact is when you fill out a contract with best finance it states the terms and conditions right on the form that you signed. Most companies have restock fees. Besides I dont realy know of any other company that will help you get started by giving you interest free financing to get some inventory to get started with...Does McDonalds, or Subway?? and what happens to all of your money if noone comes to those business' do you think McDonalds will refund all of the unsold hamburger patties and buns? Your argument sounds silly, but I understand why you think that way. Maybe you should read a book that I found very helpful. It is called If How To's Were Enough, We Would All Be Skinny, Rich, and Happy. by Brian Klemmer. It talks alot about taking a responsible approach to everything in your life.

My wife and I were recently contacted by an Ecoquest associate and encouraged to join. We reviewed the materials, talked about the idea, asked questions and researched the product. Then I jumped online to look at websites. But before completing my research, I decided to come to ripoff report as well as other consumer reporting sites.

After reading page after page of rebuttals, arguments and statements on this very website, my decision is clear. Regardless of any points made, regardless of the purported ripoffs, the grand stories or the products and market structure, the decision is easily "NO!"

The choice to stay far away from this company is based on one simple element. The enormous amount of back-and-forth debate and argumentation with no professional involvement of tact and concern.

All the associates and pro-ecoquest participants in these discussions managed to hang themselves with their own verbose and overly defensive demeanors. I don't need to be a shrewd businessperson, I don't even have to "do the math" on anything.

Too much negative publicity where the reaction is a scrambling effort at defending the company or condescending the complaintants is plenty enough reason to stay far, far away from this organization.

Thank you Ripoff Report. Thank you to ALL parties involved in these debates.

Ok, you think you were ripped off by a dealer from Ecoquest. You said you were lied to. The information on how much it costs to get involved with Ecoquest is widely available. A startup cost of $2,500 to $3,000 is not unreasonable for any business. Yes there are stories of people starting a business with $5.00, but those are few and far between. You said that you were told $300 to $600 and then said you spent $3,000. If I was told that the car I want to buy is $10,000 and then I was told it is $50,000, I sure would ask questions before I spent another dime. I am at a loss to figure out how anyone was told $300 to $600 and then spent $3,000.

Ecoquest is a business franchise. Did you know it costs $5,000 just to get a sign for a Subway restaurant?

It looks to me that you have some very unrealistic expectations on business startup costs.

Ecoquest is not for everyone. But for those who have reasonable expectations and work hard, it can be very rewarding!

Being a former business owner/buyer. I have learned to do due-diligence on the company I am going to buy or do business with. If someone approached me and said I could get started in business for $300 and then later said $3000. I would walk away from the liar. Bottom line. Not doing so put you in jeopardy to potentially lose some money. I would like to think it happens at one time or another to all entrepreneurs to some degree.

I lost $24K because a piece of paper wasn't notarized and left me liable for employee tax with holding at a company. It will never happen again. I have friends that signed up with this company eco quest and experienced the same problem you faced. People selling the machines at or below the cost you paid for them online at auctions. So I guess my advise is to always do your due-diligence before investing or starting a business.

Hope this doesnt discourage you from future ventures. Best of luck in the future.

You can try to sell your bridge to someone else! You can try to be funny if you want to but when you are ripped off, hope you can tell someone else how funny it was.

I was told between $300-$600 which was fine. When someone tells you one thing and then lies to get you into the business it is a problem. Just for your information the money was not the problem, my problem was the fact they had to basically lie to get me into the business and still take my money for all the returns in the end.

You said in your report...." They never actually tell you how much it is to start the business, it costs like $3000.00."

How in the world does anyone spend $3,000 to start a business...which is very inexpensive these days, by not knowng how much it costs?

If you spend $3,000, then you must have been told sometime that it costs that much.

$3,000 to start a business is nothing. It is up to you to know if you are a business person who could do this business.

If you were talked into it, then I have a bridge that I would like to sell you.
