IPA, ITA, International Profit Associates SCAM, FOR CONSUMERS AND EMPLOYEES, JUST A SCAM, I'M AN EX EMPLOYEE, THIS COMPANY IS NOTHING BUT THIEVES, LIES, DONT SIGN A THING, kICK OUT Buffalo Grove Illinois

My spelling is bad due to this company is not worth me slowing down or even proof reading, so read, understand, if you still believe IPA, I have a bridge to sell you.

Next quick topic is if you are reading this you will see that when you put IPA in the search box, you pulled up other companies too. This is IPA, let me say it agian, THIS IS IPA , let me say this one more time so you will learn, THIS IS IPA employees told to put these additional stories about who knows what compainies, all this is done to push down the true IPA stories SO YOU CANT SEE THEM, so go back and continue to look, there is about 1 complaint from a client, or employee every two days. Also to see what a mess this company is go to ---, they have alot of good stuff too, oh yea and ----- is a good one too, this guy will let you email him to here his story.

Don't feel bad if you are reading this spot and it is two late. You don't have to pay a thing, they don't have any legal ground to stand on, if you get a call from a attorney of theirs, ask him his name and check with the bar association, if it checks out, I will guarentee that if you call that attorney from the number that the bar association gives you then that is not who you were speaking with. This company is full of lies.

If you have one of the IPA employees in your building, HERE IS THE SCOOP! Make them read this, watch their expressions, laugh while this is happening, you have them by the balls. NOW HERE IS THE SCOOP ON THIS COMPANY

Cold callers will presure anyone who doesn't just hang up the phone, if you listen one sec. you will have 5 phone calls in one day, then you will recieve a call from a so-called manager apologizing that this happend and would like to offer you a $250,$300 or maybe free analytical reveiw, so you can see where your business stands(if you paid anything your a sucker, sorry, I'm just telling the truth)if you let them, the analyst will be there the next day.

The Senior Business Analysts, are SALESMEN(HIGH POLISHED)but ask them for their ID, references, where they went to school, cause your gonna let them look at your f/s and tax returns if they stay.

Let me tell you what really happens here. IPA hires everyone on commission ONLY. That is cold callers, sales people, senior businss analysts(sales people), project manager, and consultants. If they don't get anymone from you they don't get paid.

Let me clarify this point, SENIOR BUSINESS ANALYTS ARE SALES. None of these people are qualified to be looking at your F/S and Taxes.

I know this cause I went to the week long training course before they shove you out. The individuals in my class were not even qualified to be in a class about basic accounting, basic math, or even basic taxes. It didn't matter to IPA, they just teach you how to push your way in, be pushy during an interview to make you think they may be smart(even know they have no clue), they will supposedly call a research team, which is just their Director(ssd). He's listening while the so-called analyst puts you down in every way possible, if he isn't doing a good enough job, than he will tell the so-called analyst what to say.

No matter if your company is doing good, they will find an angle( why, cause they are commission only and their director will chew their butt out if they dont.) NEXT they will slowly start to manipulate if you let them. Sort of like a pozy bank scam. They will produce graphs and charts that only benefit their cause, if a chart benefits you, you won't see that one. On their software they can manipulate charts in either way, so it really doesn't matter.

If you fall for this b.s. than they will get you to ask them for help, that is when they know they have you(beat you down mentally till you look like a broken, homeless puppydog, then comfort you a little, twist one conversation and boom your asking for IPA's help, remember analysts are really high powered sales individuals in disguise.) NOW from this point they will act like they have to call the office to see what the research team has to say, like aaa This company has shown me they are a 100% committed to change and I would like to recommend them to be robbed(ha Ha) to be a client. Then they will pause and tell you how many hours it is going to take to fix your issues, believe you me, when I say the analyst is the only one making any decisions here inless he is new, and hasn't figured he is a part of a scam.

If you sign, You will have a project manager there tommorow, he is no more qualified than the analyst, his main job is to see how much liquid money you have, and beat you up mentally if needed. There will also be a consultant, who once again nothing about nothing, his job is to keep the job running as long as possible with just basic knowledge that you can learn from the internet. This knowledge is worth about 10 dollars an hour NO MORE, though they charge you 245 plus per deim's and travel and hotel. If the project manager is there for a day with the consultant, than you are looking at 4,000 dollars for one day. Now back to the consultant, when you realize that your not getting your worth out of this agreement then you will start to complain. This is where they will present you with a bill and say they are leaving.

IF SOMETHING IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE THAN GUESS WHAT.

This company has 150 analysts running around the nation scaming companies. Call the attorney general of IL. and check them out for your self. They will tell you IPA is under investigation as well with other attorney generals in other states.

If you really want to see the proof in the puddin, than steal that fat white book of theirs if they have it, in it you will see them step by step showing the so called analyst how to mentally beat you down, and come back at you if your trying to argue with them. This book also has personality graphs to place what kind of person you are so they can manipulate, as well as alot more. If I was ever sued for these comemts, and believe you me, they know who I am, I will produce this book for the whole United States(this would make me feel really good too)but they would not, cause then one single honest ethical(somewhat)man would destroy this huge fraud.

This is not a new scam, this has been going on for years, George S. May is the same thing. You can't stop a corporation for having over priced consulting fees by 9000%,yes 9000%. They are worth about 10 dollars an hour and that is being nice. You would think this is stoppable(nice word, oh well) but in america, just because your over priced and people are to gullible (sp),( see I can't even spell), is not a reason to shut them down. These companies can pay for big politicans to be at dinners, great web sites, and fake referrals and since they are private companies they can say anything about their financials and you will never be able to know if this is true.

I feel really bad, I would say more, but I don't need any issues with scam artists in my life. Good luck

P.S another good, and I'm sure very true letter is under IPA only and is I believe May 15.

Lies lies lies, I can't beleive these people are still in biz, but when 9 out of 10 are failing, well that's a lot of victims to choose from. I also want to add that most of the business analysts make 150 plus by robbing the poor and innocent.

Hi Woody

AUTHOR: Anthony - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, December 15, 2006

Woody and I used to work together at IPA actually we were on on the same sales card. The one thing I think that is missing here, is how IPA trains everyone to manipulate the emotional want. The entire week of training for a SBA is geared towards finding an emotional want of the client and then twisting it in them like a knife in order to sale.



Just a side note I was qualified to look at taxes, but probably one of the few within the organization. I was a CPA by trade.



As much as I hate the company the Vegas trips were always fun...



Just my two cents...

Woody,



I cannot believe that this company is still in existence.



As an ex employee, after going through their training, I can positively say that without a doubt, (there are a few exceptions) they are the scumbags of the earth.



Don't get me wrong, Stockholders and company board members of any Corp. are even worse than IPA but IPA is such a bottom feeder that it is astonishing



Mind control by people who have no morals is what runs this company.

#1 UPDATE Employee

I'm B.F. and high up the chain---ssd king - I apologize to all the small and meduim size businesses that I have ruined, and destroyed their childrens college funds

AUTHOR: cj - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, August 26, 2006

i agree, my methods of controlling my analysts is by screaming at them and beating them down. I have recently divorced, and now I'm feeling guilty for all the wrong doing that I have created over the past years, verbal abusing, and convincing analysts that we at IPA are doing something good. I already have all the info I need to put them down, I hope I bring to all the people and businesses that IPA has done wrong to justice. Finally after all these years I'm going to feel relieved.



I would like to apologize to all the analysts that i have mistreated and was extremely rude to. Even though I make $300,000 a year doesn't make it right to verbally abuse everyone beneath me. And I also apologize to all the small and meduim size businesses that I have ruined, and destroyed their childrens college funds.



For all you individuals that Ipa is calling for either consulting or unpaid balances. Just say B.F. the ssd said I don't have to pay and stop calling me.
