Marketing Solutions - Steven James Ripoff NO PERFORMANCE NO RESULTS NO REFUND NO CONTACT!! Tempe Arizona

Marketing Solutions offers an affiliation based website where you are supposed to make commissions on sales through the "free" website that they sell you for $49.95. They then sell you packages of internet traffic. This is supposed to be QUALITY traffic, the best that you can buy.

On 12/9/05 I purchased $3000 of this Quality traffic only to find out that they were using MYGPT.com (pay per click on websites), getcheaptraffic.com ($20.00 for the same amount of traffic, mostly proxy hits!), and BUYHITSCHEAP.com (same as GETCHEAPTRAFFIC).
After 3 months of no results, and making many calls to complain, I got a call from Steven James. He informed me that ALL CALLS ARE RECORDED and that I had agreed to give them one year to let them prove themselves. He was correct. On one of the many calls, I had said "okay" when discussing the "you can't lose" refund policy. Needless to say, I never made a penny even on the items that even I purchased through the website.
As per the agreement with Marketing Solutions, I was to be refunded the difference of the $3000 minus the sales after 11 months if I sent a letter requesting a refund. I mailed the certified letter in the timeframe agreed upon and called them to verify that everything was okay with the letter. A woman named Sara got it on 11/22/06 and forwarded it to Steven James in Quality Management. I have called them over 20 times in the past two months, and Steven James will not return my call. Apparently, he is the only one who can issue a refund (Principle according to BBB).

Since then, I have seen the claims against them on www.ripoffreport.com and realize now that this is a scam. Marketing Solutions has a bad rating with the BBB in Phoenix, even though they are not a member. Since you are entering a "business agreement", the boiler room salespeople collect your social security number and banking info "for tax purposes". I see this as a VERY dangerous scam at very least. Yesterday I filed complaints with the Phoenix BBB, the FTC, and the IC3 through the FBI website. Right off the bat, I see 4 other complaints on this website. Maybe a class action would be in order???
