In May I received an email from STORESONLINE.COM stating I was invited to a preview with free evening meal at the Novotel Hotel in Manchester United Kingdom. So I went to the preview with my sister which lasted about 90 minutes,the storesonline team gave us the hard sell and managed to convince me and many other people to pay 20.00 and attend a workshop at the Lowry Hotel on the 14 June 2004,which is also in Manchester UK. The workshop started at 8.30am and finished at 6pm and was a very well worked sales pitch in which you were pressurized to purchase 6 websites sold as store packets of 3. We were subjected to high pressure sales tactics for hours until we finally gave in and paid for 6 websites, all this is done by credit card so they get your money instantly.

We all thought this would be a dream come true, what could go wrong with all this help and backing they had promised. Well,to date I have received no help and I am left with not one website up and running with no sales. My cost for these sites was 3,899.00 I emailed to cancel shortly after I realised the project with storesonline was doomed and all these charges started to emerge,I asked for my money back they refused. Then in July 2004, I was called and told I had been chosen to be one of the 5 UK success stories, my first website had not even been finished due to faults , how could this be? I was asked to pay 3,500.00 for this special coaching experience to help with cost of advertising.

Then I realised it was just another money making scheme and refused to go ahead and was charged 350.00 I should imagine every person will get a phone call and told you are the chosen success story, how do these people sleep at night. It is just a nightmare experience, I just want my money back! Now storesonline have started their business activities in the United Kingdom, and going about their usual tactics to snare unsuspecting members of the public and turning their hopes and dreams into nightmares.

I would like to thank all the people from around the world for sending me emails, sharing similar experiences with Storesonline. I recently went to a workshop in Liverpool UK to confront the sales team there and handed out flyers to of all the complaint URL'S to the people arriving it had a great affect and many people thanked me and left, storesonline promised to look into sorting out my refund, still waiting!

#3 Consumer Suggestion

good question...

AUTHOR: Fe - (Singapore)

POSTED: Sunday, May 01, 2005

I wonder how they sleep at night too.

Anyway, I'm glad that you were able to confront them and hand out flyers to alert potential victims.

Besides waiting for them to look into your refund, I suggest that you continue to take action by compiling a detailed list of events from the date, time, place and conditions of sales and purchase, to every communication you've had with them -- emails and record of who you spoke to and when.

Check with your country's laws and see if they've broken any, in their conduct of sales there. See if you could lodge a police report, if viable.

Also, contact your credit card merchant bank to request help from them to deal in this matter.

I hope this helps and all the best in getting your monies back!
