Financial Resources Unlimited FRU fraudulently promises results and never delivers Spanish Fork Utah and Nationwide

In December of 2002, my wife saw these people's ad in a magazine, promising amazing returns for stuffing envelopes. They said that they guaranty a certain return on your investment, that you would at least have the costs refunded. Seeing this, I thought that we could give it a try. This seemed to good to be true, but after checking the BBB who said they were legit, we decided that they were worth a shot.

Well, we received their first package, and in spite of the poor English used (which reflects the owner of the company's own grammer in a post he had on another ripoff report), we decided that we would get the top package. After about 10 days of not receiving the package when promised, my wife had to call their number, which no one answers, and leave a message that they needed to send this package. After taking about 14 days longer, we received it.

The first thing I noticed was that there were promises made in the letter we received. They promised that we would get refunded for the postage, and that we would get our first check after we had done six weeks of their "program," as long as you follow their directions exactly.

After doing 300 letters perfectly following and double-checking their instructions, we sent it off, and hoped for the best, along with our order form for the next set. The big thing that happened then, was that we received a letter in which they had scratched off our old tracking number, which had been assigned to us in the first place, and hand-written a new number. We had to take each one of those letters and change the number we had written on them to reflect the new change. We got 600 in the mail about three weeks later (and this was a week after it was supposed to be at our door), and sent these off too.

We made sure to use our new tracking number, and sent these off with a new order form, each of us with the hope that they would be honest about the written promises they made about refunded postage after the six weeks (which since the packages had been late, we figured they meant three packages' worth of letters). Well, two weeks after the second set of 600 came, and no check. Then two months, then six months.

We have since moved, and I only recently found this website, but this still grates me. We gave over $1000 to these crooks, and they never delivered on it. I read the post by the owner of the company as a rebuttal on another report, and after that, I was steamed. This is directly to you, Larry. We have kids, and hope you never do. You are the worst of criminals, practicing bad business, bad character, and worst, bad english. Grow up and realize that what you are doing is unethical at best, but certainly illegal.

By the way, is it a coincidence you named yourselves F'ed aRe yoU?
