I was seconds away of sending Summit Group
Publication 'REGISTRATION FORM' with $30.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling cost.

We did our check first by calling the number listed and got a voice recording that brought a partial yellow flag.

It was a recording, with no way to contact any of the personnel working there. They did say however that all the information listed on the brochure was all you needed at this time to get started and to send your registration fee with shipping and handling cost right away.

It says on the brochure Would you stuff envelopes for $1,000's weekly $5 for each envelope you stuff' and another line says, Our company is anxious to use your service in mailing our brochures.

OUR GUARANTEE: we welcome you to this program and extend to you our unconditional guarantee that everything that we have said about this program is true and that you will be delighted with the money you make. Our goals and continued success depend upon your 100% satisfaction with the HOME MAILERS PROGRAM. Payments for all stuffed envelopes are sent to you before you are required to mail them. Therefore, your PAYMENTS FOR ALL STUFFED ENVELOPES ARE GUARANTEED!'

So, you see, It's rather easy to be convinced everything is OK and no problem. I did check with West Covina California Better Business Bureau, but found nothing.

Last I did check on the web and still found nothing. However a friend did find this web site (http://badbusinessbureau.com) and informed me on the contents they found on this company.

There are so many sites with promises to make money and with guarantees.

1. I think that first off these people must have a registered business license number printed on there brochure and on the web site.

2. A traceable number with any Better Business Bureau.

3. Better Business Bureau address of that state they are working out of.

4. A toll free number to that Better Business Bureau.

5. Better Business Bureau web site. (Should be available Government funded)

6. ALL Better Business Bureau to work together and with that states Attorney General.

This number can then be checked quickly on the web with better business of that state and of course with sites such this. A check and crosscheck procedure should be available to anyone at anytime.

One more thing If Better Business Bureau was to operate more like a state Motor Vehicle License Department, this program will fund itself and protect us from the BAD GUYS.

The point of all this is to buy something with no problems and make money with no problems.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!

AUTHOR: Michael - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, April 13, 2003

I can't believe what people will do to other people to get over. I was in the process of filling out the registration form until I started thinking, I need extra money but I better check this company out first so, I went to the internet and typed in Summit Group Publications and the first thing I see is "Rip Off Report". I am so glad that I didn't send in the fees it would have pushed me another step backwards. Who ever is behind this need to be punished. Thanks to the internet because without it I wouldn't have seen the reports.

Agree, brochure very misleading

AUTHOR: Sandy - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, August 28, 2002

I recently received their enrollment brochure and after reading it became very skeptical even with the guarantee. The flyer is very well put together and looks very professional, which makes it easy to be misleading. I did not try the phone number, I looked on an interent search first, I say search since they listed no web address, and this sight is where it took me.



Also, in looking over the registration form again, I noticed they do not accept credit cards, this should be a flag, because the credit card people are very strict about who they let use the service.



The company has to show credibility and go through a rigid application process. And second they have a box for CASH, who in their right mind would send cash in the mail. Postal workers have been known to steal from the mail. Their fees for rush delivery are out of line also, you can get any of these services for much less than they are asking.



That's my two cents worth and you can bet I will NOT be sending in my registration form.
