IBS, Inc. advertised a $2,500 website is mine free if I act now. So I sent IBS, Inc. my $76.95 for the advertised "free" website that will automate my business. When I get materials, including CDs, etc., from IBS, Inc., I learn from IBS, Inc. that in order to get the free website that they said they (IBS, Inc.) would give me, I have to pay IBS, Inc. $29.95 a month for my website monthly maintenance fee. This monthly maintenance fee is not mentioned in their advertisement, just that they (IBS, Inc.) will give me a $2,500 website free if I send in $76.95 "...if I Act Now!" So now, I learn that IBS, Inc. cannot or is unwilling to give me the website they advertised until I pay them an additional $29.95 every month. So IBS, Inc. stating that they will give me a free website if I get the $76.95 to them in time is is disingenuous to say the least. I say it is misleading and deceptive because in their ad they go on to describe how their business runs virtually on auto-pilot on the Internet, describing how it will make the IBS Distributor's life so easy. I find appalling that IBS, Inc. and their employees at least in the response from their support person is clueless that this tactic by them is or could be misleading and deceptive. Their support person opined what a shame it would be that I would quit so early, but my question is why would I want to represent a company such as IBS, Inc. that engages in tactics such as these? Especially, when they could easily mention in their ads that their "free" websites would be given upon payment of monthly maintenance fees of $29.95 per month.
