Financial Resources Unlimited - F.R.U. ripoff They never sent a paycheck! They did not respond to my complaint letter,either. Willowbrook Illinois

In September, 2003, I received F.R.U.'s blue flyer exclaiming, "You could be earning BIG PAYCHECKS within two weeks... If you act NOW!!" I thought I would give it a try, so my husband and I scrounged up $110 in order to receive 95 of their sales circles.

We received our first package of flyers, envelopes, and address labels 2 weeks later. I eagerly stuffed every envelope and spent over $35 to send them all the next day.

Then, we waited to receive a paycheck before ordering more flyers, because we could not afford another batch. (They lied when they said that they require a "one-time computer processing and materials fee." We found out that we would have had to pay $110 more to order another batch.)

I sent an e-mail questioning the wording of the flyer I initially received from them. I was confused as to how long it would take to receive my first payment. The flyer said two weeks, but a different flyer said four to six. F.R.U. responded by saying that it would take six to eight weeks.

I waited some more. I sent a second e-mail at the end of October, but I never got a reply.

I waited... and waited... and waited... Each week I would hope the paycheck would come, but it never did. Christmas came and went.

I was fed up, so at the beginning of January I sent a complaint letter. It has been a month since then, and still no response or sign of a payment. It has been four months since I first responded to F.R.U.'s offer, so they have stopped tracking my commissions, if indeed they had tracked anything at all.
