I attended a seminar here in Florida and was taken in by the intense "workshop" presented by these hustlers. They fire so much information at you, that by the end of the day you don't know what hit you! I bought or leased three web sites from them and thought that for $3400, I had their full support in bringing the sites to life. Having been badly hurt in the business sector, I was fair game for these scam artists.

When I started building my first site, the technical problem with the disk that was included in the materials had me stalled. All my calls to tech support were ignored.I began to realize that there was much more to know before starting a site. It seems that may be part of their plan. Let the sucker struggle, then move in with a sure fire way to nail him with another $8,000! They assured me that I would make that money back within six weeks and 50,000 dollars a year was a realistic goal. Believe it or not, I charged the $8000 and added to the original $3400, they had me for $11,000!! Luckily, I cancelled the mentor's program and saved $8,000. They were a little too friendly and I became uneasy. My original $3400 is gone as I waited too long to act, and writing to some guy named Joe Poelman, I was told that no refund would be forthcoming.

Poelman is the president of the company, and has been in much trouble in seven states for shady dealing (according to a report done by MSNBC). One of the great and successful web sites mentioned at the seminar belongs to his daughter. When I challenged him on that through e-mail, he sort of lost it. We mailed back and forth several times and this guy is a shark! Stay away from these people! They are real time hustlers, and won't give you the time of day once you are fleeced. At least I got most of my money back and I hope this helps someone looking to start an internet business.
