As many others that have experienced this ripoff, I begin by saying that I was drawn to a National Grants Conference back in September of 2003. At the end, there was a short seminar about internet marketing, and I stayed and took notes and got all excited about it. I signed up for the follow-up seminar a few days later. I paid something like $129 for that, and it was, admittedly pretty good, it was promoting the Unimweb basic business website, and offering some extra websites as well.

A few days later, I was contacted by a Unim representative, offering me a position in some kind of "pilot program" to use their product to create a site to promote their product and service, and including all kinds of incentives. The pitch I got was: unlimited supply of the Upgraded Web Site CD's for life, a package of 125000 opted-in emails to market to, a 12-week telephone coaching program to help me build and promote my site, and a copy of Corey Rudl's "Insider's Secrets" course. Well, I got the Rudl course, and the coaching program was OK, but everything else has been pure crap... the CD's are outdated and dont even have the right info on them about hosting costs. The templates are CRAP, the tech support is non-existent, the expenses revolving around the merchant account and gateway were never revealed at the seminar.

I was charged a whopping $7440 for this package of useless crap, and I was assured that I could "easily" resell these websites at $999 a pop, so all I would hafta do is make 7 or 8 sales to recoup my expenses. I guess that makes me pretty d**n gullible, and for that, I feel stupid. But these folks are *SO* slick, they make it sound like pure gravy-train, when instead, it's all coming out the other end, if ya know what I mean....
