Stores Online Pro, FRAUD, PRESSURE, CREEPY, STRANGE, MISLEADING ripoff Orem Utah

Tonight, unfortunately, I attended a storesonlinepro.com (yes they once again changed their name) "internet marketing conference." Mainly, this email is geared towards the people who are writing the rebuttals. After reading ALL of the posts on rip off report, I am writing to share MY experience with www.storesonlinepro.com.

I DID NOT sign up with them, as I was lucky enough to pick up on their obsessed, sales-hungry, boiler-room tactics. Mainly, the post referring to their environment being similiar to a "brain-washing", pressurized, no questions-asked, controlling environment, to be absolutely accurate. As a matter of fact -- everything carried out by these, "associates" and "counselors" was methodical and deliberate in the most eerie, repulsive, forceful way.

I cannot express how detestable the entire experience was. Honestly, I am always shocked to meet these kinds of sales people, (and I use the term, people, lightly) and wonder how they live with themselves or sleep at night. They are slimly, money grubbing, no-conscience, low-lifes.

ONE individual stood out amongst the bile - a caucasian man by the name of Phil from Utah. He was disgusting. Horrible person. He kept staring at my breast area during our conversation and asked why I wasn't married since I was such a "viable catch." The feeling of complete disgust is indescribable. He then proceeded to show me his two little boys in a picture; need I say more???

Throughout the night, these associates would use pressure tactics to try and get people to sign up and give up THOUSANDS of dollars. Do you actually think an intelligent business person would sign something w/o doing some research first??

Brainless Phil made numerous pit stops to try and get me to pay for the packages with my savings and constantly pestered me to "hurry up and get that done." At one point he came over and actually angrily told me, " I need you really get that done for me right now." Needless to say, I wanted to give him a piece of my mind. BUT, I didn't.

Our guest speaker, Bud Lethridge, was effective, but, nonetheless, a liar by ommission, and w/o a doubt, misleading.

Yes, you don't promise a thing, yes, people DO need to do hard work. I work full time, go to school full time, all on my own -w/o any help. BUT, as Bud said in his presentation, there is a lack of peole with common sense. In this case, the people of storesonline.com are lacking a serious "moral" humanistic chip. Shame on you.

Imergent / storesonline Liars & Thieves

AUTHOR: TonyRose - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, December 15, 2012

I went to a Stores On-Line seminar in Boise,  idaho in 2006 with a friend. I bought the 3 website package. I obtained a DBA and a business liscense. I paid over $5,000. plus hosting and finance fees. Everything they promised was not true.

They promised that any company can host your website, but they had the best hosting, and it had to be set up through them. They only accept auto-deduction from your credit card and they deduct hidden fees and costs without notification. When I cancelled the auto-deduct and sent a check they cancelled my service. I can only use hosting through them.

They promised if you did not gain sales they would buy the websites back. I cannot sell them. They are so expensive no one will buy them. They refuse to buy them back as promised. I did not recieve any sales through the websites. They are always rude when speaking with them.

Imergent placed a derrogatory, late/unpaid on my credit file when I paid the last payment after 3 years and refuses to correct this, which is still on my credit in 2012. I am out thousands of dollars that I could not afford to lose on a lot of false information and promises. I cannot even access my own websites unless I agree to let them host them. The only responses I have recieved in over 6 years are rare responses/letters basically saying 'oh well' thats too bad and we don't care.
