Maybe it is time to take action
AUTHOR: Christopher - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 27, 2003
I have tried on several occasions to contact this gentleman by the name of Mark from Willowbrook, IL to no avail. Regardless of legitimacy of his offer, Mark and Financial Resources Unlimited, Inc. is just the "tip of the iceberg".
Obviously, efforts to this point to stop this type of advertising, which generates nothing but false hope, has been futile. I believe more forward action is necessary.
I am not a fan of lawsuits in today's day and age as often I believe they are frivolous and unnecessary. However, they often force companies to stop poor business practices. And I believe that telling people they can earn hundreds of dollars a week just by mailing letters is at the top of the list of poor business practices.
Here is what I am saying. Let's sue the pants off these guys. I believe it is the only way to send them a message. Maybe then we will be able to drive down the street and not see a sign that says "Make $1500 a month part time working from him".
Sincerely,

MARK Are You Paying Attention!!!!!!

Mark you stated that you are paid $10 for ever envelope that sales, your phone # is on the enrollment, and you have no control over people not following instructions. Well I would love to see your enrollemt form because on mine it says nothing about being paid $10 for every evelope that SALES. It clearly states $10 for every envelope that you mail period!!! You are right your phone # is on there however when you call it it is a recording & you DO NOT call back so what good is your phone #. Following instructions is a joke cause we did or in my case tried to but your enrollemnt and mine are different.
I have been following this page because I really hoped your company was legitate. I do not believe everything you read. SO far there has been no one really out of any money. I just don't understand what is so hard to print the truth and one address and a #that has a live person.
To me Ten dollars for each circular you mail means ten dollars for each evelope I stuff not if it sales!!! Seems to me you need to reread your circular or even better rewrite it to what you mean.

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION??????

This rebuttal is to address EVERYONE who sees it.
First of all, there is only a first name, because that's the way rip-off.com does things.
Second, we have a physical office, NOT A PO BOX.
Third, our phone number is LISTED.
Tell me a scam that does ANY of these things?
This is a business opportunity.
You could open a McDonalds and not make money. That doesn't mean they are a scam.
I have no control over someone's ability to follow directions.
If you mail letters, and they sell you are paid a $10 commission. Period.
You DO NOT mail the same letter we sent you.
When you receive your UPS box of materials, there are letters to mail and they are always different, plus they can offer upwards of 15 different offers we have. Such as bi weekly mortgage reduction, credit card services, mailing lists, just to name a few.
If you REALLY want to do your homework, you've got a long way to go!

To continue:
All Mark is doing is getting people to mail out the exact same flyers that they received and they only make money if someone makes a purchase. Basically there is no purchase--just a bunch of the same flyers going around while he makes money off of them.

Mark, why do you lie?
AUTHOR: Carolyn - (U.S.A.)

On the back of the first page of your flyer you state "Your job is simple. Just fold our special advertising circulars thewe send you, insert them into the envelopes we send you, apply one cstomer label and stick one postage stamp. When you complete the batch of circulars, jut mail them out and your check will be processed as soon as we receive your batch".
Well I have a few questions and comments in response to this:
1) Why would you be receiving any batch? Aren't we supposed to be mailing these to other people?
2) If the batch you are talking about in your rebuttal, are the ones from people who responded with a purchase from our/your mailings...why do you not state that? IE: (You will only receive $10 dollars if someone sends us money for the same exact flyer you received while we receive $90). I think that would be closer to the truth.

Ive done my research. Ive contacted people who have been burnt. And I have found, that this company has no REAL contact person other than an e-mail address (fruinc1@aol.com) for sending your CREDIT CARD info (not a secure way to purchase ANYTHING)which is always more than a little suspicious. These are all the same company. The numbers go to the same recording, and all 3 addresses are running the same #1 SCAM.
Please do not respond to their mailer, and if you have been burned, contact your local government or Federal Trade Commission or Better business BureauPLEASE! When Americans take action, horrors like this will not go unpunished! You may also get your money back.
The owner, Mark of Burr Ridge, Illinois, (notice no last name), left his rebuttal on Rip-off.com. He said, This particular report simply involves someone who read the other reports [on Rip-off.com] that are perceived to be ours. We are located in Willowbrook, IL ONLY!! The other reports listed are not the offer we sell from Willowbrook.
This is an OUTRIGHT LIE. As I stated before, the Broadview and the Westchester locations are all representing the SAME company in Willowbrook.
Which leads me to my final point. A person doesnt have to mug you in a dark alley to be a criminal. There are thousands of sharks out there and while they may be too cowardly to rob you in the streets, they will attempt to steal from you using the internet, the telephone, or as in this casethe mail.
To Mark:
Legitimate Businesses give contact names, and telephone numbers. They usually do not use dial up connections to conduct business and they definitely dont accept payments through their personal AOL e-mail account! Furthermore, any business that works with independent contractors or employees will have a written agreement between parties to establish the relationship. Real corporations also do not feel the need to use phony addresses or switch addresses frequently.

i read the complaint and the rebuttal however he gave first name only and the state he is from is not the same from the complaint. he should have given a phone # see i to faxed enrollment to them at 6306553165 to pay by cc.
i did receive a notice that it had been declined however i faxed back to tell reason was not activated they have not sent in again i even asked them to email me or to call me collect. they took your money but i cannot get them to take mine with no response as to why not here is the email i have on them FRUINC1@AOL.COM FAX IS 6306553165 good luck i still cannot get anybody to email me or call with a response. at least they don't have my money.
i even checked With bbb and was told in operation for 3 yrs ad no complaints in last 36 months non that was listed. i am shocked at all these rip offs complaint on the company that is to have no complaints at all in last 39 months.

GIVE US A CHANCE
AUTHOR: Mark - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, February 20, 2003
This particular report simply involves someone who read the other reports that are percieved to be ours. We are located in Willowbrook, IL ONLY!!
The other reports listed are not the offer we sell from Willowbrook. The consumer listed on THIS complaint DID NOT buy anything!! What's the complaint?
If you changed your mind, take the money order back where you got it, and get your cash back. Pretty simple.
However, we sell an opportunity for people to market our products by mailing materials with a code number listed on it. For every sale that comes in with a person's code, we issue a check.
If anyone EVER asked for a refund, we send it same day.
We are NOT selling a book to people!! We ship a big box of printed materials, that people put together and mail. These are professionally printed, #10 and #9 envelopes, two color, two sided brochures, and customer mailing labels.
No other firms send this!! The fee we charge covers PART of the printing and shipping fees and the rest we make TOGETHER when the sales come in.
If I can be of further service all you need to do is ask.
