I had an appointment with to Lori Sage in May of 2006 (Clearwater, Fl)with my invention idea. She had told me that she moved from the Pittsburg area and came to Florida to open an office. As a Regional Director I believe she deceived me by representing her company even though, she was fully aware of the FTC violations, and BBB reports against her company (Inventhelp).
The initial Basic Information Package was $945.00 with a $100.00 discount, I paid $200.00 down and a remaining balance of $645.00 within a few months. She intentionally used deceptive information to deceive me. I am in the process of filing an official complaint with the Consumer Protection Department and the Better Business Bureau. Why is INVENTHELP still in BUSINESS? I want my money returned. Fostoria Tampa, Florida

Do not let them bully you into a partial refund. They tried the excuse that "it's been 10 years" with me-as well as a gag order. I want the full refund as required by the FTC-94 ruling. This is the minimum I will accept to even think about not talking about this scam. I have the list of alleged "companies" from their highly touted "databank" that had NOTHING to do with what I was trying to market-much less that I needed foreign patents and was told I didn't-a violation of FTC-94.
I don't care how long it's been. All this scam information and rulings have not been available for 10 years so who cares. I, myself, didn't get internet access until 1999 and was a real rookie then as to how to search and access information. I am quite a bit better now and they will pay-either me by way of a full refund or in loss of revenue which I know has already exceeded what they could/should have refunded me.
Keep us updated. We must keep these slugs in the public eye to save others from the same fate.

Inventhelp- Coercing and Harassing Me to recant complaints
AUTHOR: Fostoria - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 13, 2007
On February 5, 2007, I filed a complaint with the BBB and the Department of Justice (Pinellas County) Clearwater, Florida.
On February 9, 2007 at approximately 12:55 I received a call from Lark Blasi (Pitts, PA). She asked me why I filed a complaint, and by law Lori did not have to reveal to me the other complaints filed against them, I told her I just want my money back. She stated that I basically needed to comply with her because since she was the compliance manager and she was the only one that could give me my money back.
I said "no you're not the only one." She asked me not to file any more complaints with anyone else until she calls me back on Monday or Tuesday.
Lark called me on Monday Feb 12, @ approx. 12:20 PM. She said since you are upset about what happened, I will put you a check in the mail but only if you recant your complaints with the BBB and Dept. of Justice. She said once you sign the agreement and send it back to me I will put your check in the mail.
I told Lark I did not want to hear anything else she had to say and just send me my money! I feel that I am being harassed by Lark and she is using coercing tactics to refund my money. The only response I want from the company is that they will send me a full refund and stop the harassing calls.
I will not recant my statements. Why is this company allowed to operate in Florida or anywhere.
I might not be able to get my money back but I am going to do everything in my power to stop them from ripping off someone else. CONSUMER BEWARE
