I signed up for this "deal" with the idea that I would be able to purchase items for sale at discounted prices with the hopes of reselling them for profit on the internet. What I really got was entirely different. Basically, you have to purchase coupons from the places you wish to shop and you are limited to five per. Really, to me this is just a marketing scam so they can retrieve personal information so they can market their other products to you, like, I fear, those on startup essentials. Don't do it. If these are the same ones who ripped me off from startup essentials, then they should, and I hope will, be prosecuted in the future. Their claims are misleading and their practices are really just doubletalk and a whole bunch of fine-print mumbo-jumbo. Don't waste your time.

I received an email from them today, 9/14/71, that I was going to be billed on or after the 4th??? After having checked my account, I noticed they billed on the 6th. Let's be honest here, if this were an honest operation, why would I not have received this email about a week prior to their debiting my account? I smell a rat. If these internet companies are "essential"ly a rip-off network, revoke their web priveleges internet providers!!! Don't let them victimize others.
How stupid of me to sign up with these people in the first place. But hey, my sole purpose is to get out of debt, not further in... Go figure!!
