After hearing some hype about this new launch of a new telecommunication company and being asked by several retail stores what i knew about this, I decided to investigate and learned it's all a scam.

An owner of a retail store had been invited to one of their meetings and asked me come along in order for me to be able to ask questions, since any attempts to contact the telephone number on their website got no response. Any emails also got no response.

The very first red flag that when up was when I learned the meeting was held in the back yard of a house! The company claims to have a large amount of money allocated for the launch of this great product however they can't afford an office? The "District Manager" and "Regional Manager" have NO IDEA what so ever about the telecommunications industry or any aspect of the cell phone world.

The answer to any of my questions was always the same "Oh that is going to be covered in the training and are minor details" which shocked me completely! These people don't even know the difference between a gsm or cdma phone, which any one in the cell phone business is able to tell you right away. The little information that was given was vague and misleading and absolutely false.

Another major red flag is that the company is taking applications and asking personal information and making people feel like it's a now or never opportunity. The application asks you if you have real estate license, assets, and so on, they claim this information is for the progress and future of the company, but in reality is to see what sheep has the most assets and worth going after.

People please beware!! This is nothing more than a get rich quick scam if you come across anyone offering LPC Global service or to join the company simply decline it will save you a lot time and a headache!

Angry

AUTHOR: AverageJane - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, June 12, 2010

My parents were ripped off by these scumbags. Promised all kinds of lies. My mom signed me up, but I knew better, even as a 19 year old. Not onky did they promise these poor, unemployed faithful members of the church, but they humiliated everyone into signing people up. I would love to hear what happened to Abel Mesa and the other liars who did this to my family.

Solution To The Issue

AUTHOR: La Promesa Corp - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, October 26, 2009

First off I want to start of by saying that I too was ripped off by the same company.  After that I got involved with EDT, which is another program by the same people that started La Promesa Corp.  I went to the convention in Atlanta almost a year ago.  They made us all of these promises about receiving phones and great deals and here I am a year later and still nothing.  I did however learn a lot from this experience.  I then decided to take what I have learned and start my very own cell phone company.  The lose does hurt, but now I want to get what I deserve.  And this is why I am here to try and help all of you out also. No we are not going to offer fancy cars and trips, we are only offering realistic numbers and bonuses.  The best part about it is that it is FREE to join us because we know the pain of investing money and getting no where.  So we have decided to make this FREE to those who want to help us build this great company.

Now let me tell you a little bit about us.  My name is JoEllen Desssesseau and my companies name is Nationwide Wireless.  I really hope that you can take the time out to check out our website: http://www.nwwirelessonline.com.  Here is what we are offering our affiliates:

You have to be kidding me. I was at the Gala Dinner and it was a joke. No where do I hear anything about the even the bigger crooks The Video Screen Company, Impact Media. They were offering free TVs to everyone so that they could take the heat off of Abel.
No, I don't have your phones yet suckers but here is a TV from a guy named David Daffan and he is going to give it to you for free! Wow!

Anybody get a TV? NOPE! Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

Abel and Daffan should both be in jail. Are they yet? FBI where are you

A GEORGIA PEACH

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

POSTED: Saturday, August 23, 2008

Blessings to you MASA! Yours is The Best post I have seen and read pertaining to all the turmoil regarding LPC Global. I enjoyed reading your well writen and balanced point of view. It all comes down to knowing how to spot a good opportunity and taking steps to reach your goals and dreams. Not everyone is going to agree about my friend Mr. Abel Mesa, LPC's secretiveness, and Timing issues. There are many people who will lose some business because of LPC...that is True. You might agree. How is it that when you ask them if they are signed up to work with us, they will not answer. They become offensive trying to accuse and destroy the character of a man who has earned the respect of hundreds of thousands of people. Who do these people think will respect them?

Anyway, as a pastor, it is a driving force of Evangelism to make the Good News reign over the Earth. Unfortunately, many will be lost and stay lost against God's Will.
It is a breath of fresh air to hear from people like you that see things in an optimistic light. Bringing such Blessings to a world deprived of Hope and filled with Envy and Greed is not an easy task. Be well and may God Bless You and Your Family Abundantly. Your Friend, R.

LPC Global Exposed

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

POSTED: Friday, August 22, 2008

I sit hear reading all the post on this site and another site about LPC Global. I signed up for the program after a friend presented it to me and it didn't take me long to make an educated business decision based on the limited info presented to me. First of all, if anyone thinks that they are going to receive a salary paycheck with no sales or production then you are not realistic or may not understand business. Yes this company is similar to network marketing but offers salary positions which you are not going to find in a network marketing company unless you work in the corporate office. In order to qualify for the salary you must be able to build and manage a sales team that produces a minimum sales quota. I am an entrepreneur in real-estate and in marketing for the past nine years. LPC's credibility is very low at the moment in my opinion. It can go either way. I can not predict the future but I can make decisions based on my reality and capabilities as of today. As of now the LPC opportunity is a wait and see game. If you are concerned about giving out your private information then don't. I use a private mail location and I didn't give my social when I signed up. And I would only give my tax id number(EIN) out only when the time for it was neccesary. As an entrepreneur when I have to pay certain vendors I send out a w-9 and the vendor gives up their social on it if they want to get paid from me. I state this because I think everyone should prepare and protect your privacy as much as possible. In todays society, you can't get car insurance without giving up your SS number. Therefore there are ways to do things and still protect your privacy and not make yourself the easiest target.
When I look at the high number claim of employees, it does not surprise me. I know plenty of people that sign up for stuff and do nothing. Without a product no money is or can be made legaly. The real numbers will come when the product is ready to sell. If it happens great, if not then great also. Keep it moving. I am a positive person but I am real. I have strong faith in God also but I don't let it confuse me when in comes to the basics and fundamental. Companies come and go. I have been there and seen it year after year. I bought into some good ideas that ended up not working for me. I took what I could from the experience to make me stronger. I focus on building my team no matter what company comes so we then can move in or out of any company when we want to. In other words, because our faith is in God and not a company or man we work on building up each other and add a company or product to our marketing team that fits our goals. It boils down to education & training. Not a high school or college education, but real world educaion. You are going to pay for it one way or another. I paid for it by going through a bunch of Bullcrap in a couple of network marketing companies to understand what I needed to focus on and how to take advantage of opportunities without putting myself in bad situations. For example, no one had to tell me that they weren't going to have the phones ready at the launch. I had an experience with a company in the past where I worked with the founders and they were supposed to have certain things ready for their launch and it wasn't half of what they promised. I was out promoting it like Jesus was coming back that day. It put me in a bad situation and I lost credibility. But because I had burn the bridge behind me and didn't want to rebuild it to head back I kept going, hoping it would get better, and there were some better moments. But my point is that you have to look for the clues. There were no clues on LPC's website or through any other type of legitimit documentation that the phones were going to be ready that soon. Now what you consider legitimit and what I may consider legitimit may be different but you have to set your own standards. I was not going to waiste my hard earned money to got all the way to Miami to see someone tell me we are now ready to sell some phones or memberships or whatever. You can call me on the phone for that sh _ _ . But here is a key point, I may not need a rally event for me to get excited and go to work and sell the program but the average person may need it. If LPC is able to pull this thing off and send me a phone, my concerns will be in regards to the infastructure to handle quality of the service, the customer service, and rep support. As of now the clues are not there. However, we will see because if it pops off then myself and my team will sell the hell out of the program. I don't need anyone in the public or media to cosign on this program or sign up to sell it. We will show it by walking it not talking it. The numbers will do the talking for us.

Now, I hope that you don't misunderstand this long post i wrote. The purpose of me writing this was to share my insight with others hopefully to help you save some time ,money, and headache. There is a very important point or lesson I hope that you got. I am familiar with GSM and Cmda(not satelite) because a few folk on my team use to sell cell phones otherwise I would be just like the average person, clueless. Now, I do know direct marketing and how to sell. Ask me how a plane weighs more than a ton flys and how it works I can't tell you. I know I have never put on a parachute before getting on a plane. I just believed that when I got on the plane the regulatory industry and airlines did their job. Give the average person and video or manual and we all call learn something about the telecom network. But the bottom line is, When I make that call will I connect to who I am calling and hopefully it won't drop. That is it for the most part. So I will point out at least one of the points in this post in case you missed it. Build YOUR sale team instead of the companies. Be upfront and only recruit people who want to succeed and understand it happens through the business model of selling and building sales teams. Prefer to have a small team of winners and producer than a big team of whiners and losers. And of course if you can have a large team of winners would be ideal. It is not a free ride no matter what you are told. Read, watch, listen and surround yourself with good people. Identify the problem and find a solution, but don't dwell in the problem. Expect the best but prepare for the worst.

Seeing is believing, Part 2

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

POSTED: Friday, August 22, 2008

Seeing is believing. What have we seen?

A gala where folks PAID to attend on 8/15 and each person who paid was supposed to receive a free cellphone.

What has been reported: Folks who paid to attend did not receive a cellphone. Instead, they received a voucher to obtain a cellphone at a later date.

Promise one thing and do another. In some circles this might be called lying.

In other circles this might be called breach of contract.

And in some circles, this might be called SCAM!

Nothing..... and not a surprise

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

POSTED: Tuesday, August 19, 2008

The 15th came and went and nothing happened --- all of these poor people paid to go to a "gala" aka "pep rally" and none of the promises were upheld. No one left with a phone, even the almighty President doesn't have one of these phones. But it sounds like people are still believing the promises they are told.
Besides faith in god and the promise of wealth - has the company delivered any FACTS yet? What is their address? What is there tax id number for these salaried employees? What is the business plan? How can 250,000+ people make money? How can they afford the overhead of these salaries, cars, expense accounts --- and don't tell me the lies they are feeding you about this capital investment unless it can be backed up!
My guess is that this so called capital investment is probably from the same people that are "members" of the phone organization since every "member" has to join the LOC credit union. This seems like a facade to start a credit union and give more power to these so called leaders.

Could it be that LPC Global is

AUTHOR: Ladione5000 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, August 18, 2008

about to take a bit out of all those marketing marketing pre paid cellular and international mintues business???

Because Lpc markets Unlimited with no credit checks and no contracts???

I just wonder why all the negative postings were found and thought it best to do my own due deligence what I have found is Lpc Global is going to save a lot of people a lot of money if even half of what they offer is true.

It seems to me that people are angry and upset over the fact they can lose customers who they have on prepaid plans paying for all their mintues and no free nights or weekends.

My son is on one of those plans because he refuses to get a cell contract, this company is going to help him and a few of his college buddies plus make them some money.

I would have to agree if I were selling prepaid mins to people and phone calling cards I would want to put as much negative info out there on LPC because I would be afraid very afriad of losing business.

But that is the name of the game it seems like there is always something new and better coming out day in day out it is just the way life is, people have to wake up, if you dont like LPC keep using your current carrier keep paying on your mins or switch to a unlimited and pay the 99.00 per month plans they are excellent so I hear.

I will get this service ASAP!

LPC GLOBAL EMPLOYEES. ON AUGUST 15TH, 2008 WE CELEBRATE OUR GRAND OPENING LAUNCH PARTY! I AM GETTING MY BLACKBERRY AND MY WIFE IS GETTING A NOKIA N95 **FOR FREE!!!** THE DINNER EVENT IS GOING TO BE EXTRAORDINARY. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH OVER 12,000 WONDERFUL ASSOCIATES FROM OVER A DOZEN STATES, CANADA, AND PUERTO RICO. MOST OF THEM ARE PROFESSIONAL AND SUCCESSFUL. WE DO NOT HAVE POOR, DEFENSELESS, AND UNEDUCATED FOOLS JOINING US! LPC GLOBAL HAS HIGHER STANDARDS OF EMPLOYMENT QUALIFICATIONS. THE NO.1 QUALITY WE LOOK FOR IS INTEGRITY DRIVEN BY FAITH IN GOD. FUNNY THING IS HOW ALL OF YOU INCLUDING "CLUELESS 98" SEEM TO FADE AWAY. WHAT IS SAD ABOUT ALL OF THOSE HATEFUL, SLANDEROUS, AN LIBELOUS COMMENTS IS HOW MANY PEOPLE READ YOUR VENEMOUS RANTINGS AND DECIDED THAT LPC GLOBAL WAS A "SCAM!" ALL OF YOU ACTED SELFISHLY AND MISGUIDED THE PEOPLE WHO NEEDED LPC GLOBAL THE MOST. HOW CAN YOU ALL LIVE WITH YOURSELVES AND YOUR NON-EXISTANT CONSCIENCE. CONSCIENCE IS WHAT MAKES HUMANS DIFFERENT FROM ANIMALS. IT MAKES SURE THAT YOU KNOW (WITH KNOWLEGE) OF GOOD AND EVIL. WHY IS IT THAT ENVY AND CONTEMPT FILL YOUR MOUTHS. IT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE HOW "NANOHURTZ," "PLAINJANE," "CLUELESS98," AND A BAND OF CARACTERS STAND UP ON THEIR SOAPBOX HERE ON RIPOFFREPORT AND OUTRIGHT BREAK THE 9TH COMMANDMENT.. "THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS" WHY DID THESE GOD GIVEN LAWS NOT APPLY TO YOU? MY ONLY CONCERN AS A PASTOR AND PROPHET IS YOUR SALVATION. IS THIS A FORM OF REBELION? DID SOMEONE PAY ALL OF YOU TO SELL YOUR SOULS? "WHAT COMES FROM YOUR MOUTH REVEALS THE CONDITION OF YOUR HEART." NO ONE KNOWS WHEN YOUR LIFE WILL END HERE ON EARTH EXCEPT FOR GOD. THERE ARE ONLY TWO PLACE YOU WILL GO FOR ETERNITY...HEAVEN OR HELL. BECAUSE YOU AND I ARE SINNERS, WE ARE SEPARATED FOREVER FROM THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND NO ONE COULD EVER EARN THEIR WAY OR BE GOOD ENOUGH. THE ONLY REDEMPTION WE HAVE IS JESUS CHRIST. HE PAID THE MAXIMUM PRICE FOR YOU AND ME. THE LORD SAID, "I AM THE TRUTH, THE WAY, AND THE LIFE." "NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER IF NOT BY ME..." SO COME TO JESUS AND REPENT! IT IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK. ASK HIM OUT LOUD TO COME INTO YOUR HEART TODAY! DO NOT WAIT! I ASK HUMBLY THAT YOU FORGIVE ME IF I MADE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE. JESUS LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. FRIENDS, I CAN ONLY RELAY THE WORDS OF MY LORD AND HOLY SPIRIT CALLING OUT TO YOU..."LISTEN HERE...
SOON I SHALL COME, I SHALL REWARD EACH AND EVERYONE BASED ON THE MERITS OF THEIR DEEDS..." REVELATION 22: 12. YOUR RESPONSES WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
