I was contacted on several occasions by these individuals. The most recent from # 347-381-3748 I was first contacted on my personal mobile phone while driving, and instructed them to call me back as it was unsafe for me to have a detailed conversation about my business at this time. I was told he would call back the following day at the same time, so I had made myself available and no call. Several days later, I receive another call at random, wanting to provide me with details. It was no longer convenient for me, as it wasn't when they said they would call, so I did not answer. They continued calling me like debt collectors, before I finally answered as I had a moment to speak with them. They went through all of the promises as other ripoff reports, until they made it clear that they were going to require a credit card number right now. As a business person, payment never needs to be done right this very moment unless it's an auction and immediately set off flags for me. I instructed them to email me an invoice so I could submit it to accounts. CEO or not, I don't use a personal credit card for business purchases! As soon as I suggested they may not be paid right this moment, the agent started using psychology on me to try and get me to pay "As the CEO, I thought you were the one to make it happen" and "If this is too expensive, we could go with the cheaper option" amongst other things to question my position and financial abilities though my reasoning had nothing to do with these suggestions. I didn't take the bait, which agitated him further, and ultimately led to him hanging up on me as I have also heard in other reports. Although I can't believe people actually get sucked into people talking to them like that, I can believe that there is a serious amount of deception. Please, don't do business with these people. Any company that demands you pay RIGHT NOW is either a bill collector, a car salesman, or NOT LEGITIMATE. I would never call a client and demand a credit card payment or start talking poorly of them as business people. Just look at the very beginning of the Term of Agreement on the website people "Our cancellation policy states there is a non-refundable 20% processing fee which will automatically be retained on any cancellation that occurs within 48 hours of any sale. All program sales after 48 hours are final and no refunds will be issued for our service and all accompanying personalized products." How many businesses do you know, allow only 48 hours to cancel, and NO MATTER WHAT take 20% of the cancellation anyways? Even if you get them to cancel for you, they've already made money off of you. Read the fine print. If that isn't enough, check out the F grade they have with the Better Business Bureau! Most of the resolutions on the BBB website aren't even solved, but rather because the customer accepted a settlement rather than getting the full amount back! Stop getting sucked into this!
