Texas Elite Marketing: Bram Smith Monster Co-op Adverting Rip-off artist Takes your money and runs!!! Canyon Lake, Texas

I have had problems from this company from day 1 and suspect it all might be a SCAM! Here are the details:

I paid two amounts via PayPal

Transaction #75E53552F42982814


* -$50.00 USD + $9.95 per month subscription


* 20/10/2010 06:25 AEST


* Texas Elite Marketing: Bram Smith

I then took up the founders program offer for US$49
Transaction #2KJ03239P8814724U


* -$49.00 USD


* 27/10/2010 07:55 AEST


* Texas Elite Marketing: Bram Smith


* payments@monstercooperative.com

I received details of one account in October and started receiving a few leads a day but then after a couple of weeks it stopped no more leads and none since and it is now the 24th December

I received log in details of the second account but NEVER received a single lead. Furthermore when I tried to log into the account with the username and password I received it did not even contain my profile but rather, the profile of someone else. When I tried to change the profile to my details and hit save just it reverted back to the above person's details. Go figure and I had the username and password???

I have sent several emails over the past month and a half to admin@monstercooperative.com but have NOT RECEIVED A SINGLE REPLY.

When I lodged disputes with PayPal they refunded me the US$9.95 monthly subscription amount but here was there response to the two other amounts of US$50 and US$49:

" We're unable to decide this claim in your favour at this time. PayPal's Buyer Complaint Policy applies to the delivery of goods but not to disputes about merchandise quality."

What a JOKE! Are they serious? Does that mean PayPal support dodgy operators who do not delivery on their promises?

This all could have been averted with a little communication from Bram Smith and his admin team at Monster Co-op but they did not have the decent courtesy to reply to my emails very disappointing.
