I paid $297 for 4 coaching sessions. Before coaching begin, he attempted to sell me one of "his" businesses. See email below.
"After thinking about your situation and the way the
bidding ended so abruptly with out you really having
a chance it got me to thinking...
I purchased a very profitable online biz 6 months
ago for $6995.00.
You can check it out here...
http://www.jempublishing.com/infokit.htm
It's been a great income generator, however in the
past 3 months, I've not had the time to really push
it.
Here's what I'll do you for you Jim:
I'll give you the entire biz, product, website, ads,
domain, (create-simple-info-products.com)and 6
months of my coaching.
I'll let this all go to you for ONLY $2250.00.
This is the best I can do for you.
A quality, pro web business for a fraction of the
cost.
Let me know asap if you want this and I'll set it
up for you.
Wishing You The Best,
Gary"
A search on Google came up with this address:
http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/56948
The same product with Master Resale Rights is being sold for $5.
"When I sent email saying I wasn't interested in that business and wanted a refund for the coaching that never took place,
here was his reply:
"First off... Do NOT send me an email with insults
you knucklehead.
I don't know where you get off with this attitude.
Whatever you found is pure J.U.N.K.
My coaching fees are NOT refundable.
Sorry."
Then the subsequent email from me.
"Hello Gary,
This is my third request for a refund of the $297 paid for coaching that did not occur.
I quote you below:
"Whatever you found is pure J.U.N.K.
My coaching fees are NOT refundable.
Sorry."
If it is truly J.U.N.K., then why would you charge me $2,250 for it and more to the point,
why would you say you paid $6,995 for it.
You lost my trust.
Now, I am making a simple reasonable request.
I have just bought the domains www.internetmarketerscam.com and www.onlinemarketerscam.com
Can you guess who will be featured the first month and then in the archives forever?
...
Hopefully, that won't be necessary and we can settle this amicably.
Looking for your response.
Regards,
John
P.S. Web sites and postings will start 48 hours from now if no response.
So far, no response. Paypal has been no help either so I will
request a chargeback on my credit card.
What do they call a person who takes someone else's money without giving any service or product in return?

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
