World Wide Marketing And Associates, LLC NationalOpportunities, LLC Sold me an online shopping business for $9,975.00 that has not made a penny in over five months. Greenwood Village, Colorado

I have been retired for a couple of years and had been looking around for something I could do on the Internet to supplement my pension. I came across something from National Opportunities that sounded interesting.

I paid them $499.00 for a website. They said someone would be calling to help pick out a domain name. They said I would earn $7,000.00 to $10,000.00 /month. They did call but were no help picking out a domain name but covered how the business would work using four different market areas. Now they were saying that to make it work there would have to be advertising.

Eventually, a Chris Scott talked me into spending another $9,975.00 for advertising. I would not have to do anything except collect the money every two weeks. He said I should take 10% of the top and put it in the bank to re-invest the next year. So far, this 10% is $0.00. I have checked the site since April 10, 2009 and never had any income.

In a few more days I had calls from Shawn Casey to spend more money on TV commercials. This would be another $7,000.00 for 50 commercials or $10,000.00 for 100 commercials. He I told him I would wait until next year if it was showing a profit. I have since seen a lot of emails and web sites about how much money he makes. I now see how he does it.

I have not made any money and all I have done is create another expense of $400/month to pay of the credit card.

I have been calling them on the phone for months. No one ever answers and all I get is a message center. I leave a message and some one calls back in four or five hours or in a couple of days. By that time I have usually gone out and the whole thing starts over with me calling again. Nothing ever gets resolved.

I am pleased to run across this website, everyone is helpfull. I lost my job making decent wages at an optical lab back in January. I encountered major health problems without insurance, and other major financial difficulties. It was one thing after another all down hill for me financially. I was in the process of looking for jobs collecting unemployment so I could keep up with the bills. I have a part time job at a dental lab and I am 3 months behind on my condo payments again. 1 month behind on car payments. I have NO toilet since it does not flush, no air conditioner, I CANNOT repair these things since I was completely robbed out of $16,000 which started out at $26,000 from World Wide Marketing and Associates, LLC.

 

My family and friends are ALL avoiding me because of my involvement with WWM&A, LLC! I keep praying for answers. I also received a call from Mike King back in February during the time I was unemployed. He was a snake oil salesman, who kept calling me sweet heart or something of that nature. He wanted me to sign up to pay for this website that I had signed up for a week earlier for only $199.00 I figured I could take the hit with that smaller amount if it did not work out. Little did I know the snake oil salesman would call me again for me to fork out more money! Mike King said I MUST by all of this advertising for a total of $26,000 and put it on both credit cards. I said NO WAY. He could not explain anything very well as he was salvating trying to sell me a load of CRAP! He kept interrupting as I was asking him questions about the website. He was very demmanding and forcefull with me. I started cryingHe the King said this is all normal you will make tons of money!! I was wrong! I told him I CANNOT DO THIS, I am unemployed! He would not take no for an answer.

So I finially caved since he was relentless. I do not normally do that! National Opportunities, which used to be Paramount is their customer service portion of the company. I called them along with WWM&A, LLC and they have a no refund policy. I was verbaly told by Mike that I had 30 days to cancel. Well, they lied! I tried every method with my credit card company and they are sticking up and siding with WWM&A, LLC! I put it in fraud, dispute and reported the card stolen. After the 3rd card my credit card Co. issued to me, the total amount kept following me of $16,000. I had $9,000 due on another credit card but WWM&A, LLC finally removed that amount.

I have filed a complaint with the BBB, my consumer protection dept. in my state of Wisconsin and National Opportunities and WWM&A, LLC COMPLETELY blew me off! I am scared and I do not know what to do! My state forwarded the complaint to the Federal Trade Comission. I do not know if that will help and how long it will take since they are probably back logged! The almighty WWM&A, LLC will probably blow them off too. How do these people get away with this madness!?!?? The FTC is my last resort since I CANNOT afford an attorney, the free ones are not really free and work very few hours. I cannot miss work since I am broke! Thanks for reading this! If anyone has any good suggestion about what my next move should be Please let me know.

Thanks!

MS Antivirus & ESafeBill Transaction

so called http://222.73.37.203
Internet , U.S.A.

Antivirus ripoff.This company supposedly sells antivirus. I stupidly responded on the internet when I saw that I had some messages about viruses on my computer. Being naive and not very computer smart I saw this name MS Antivirus and thought of “Microsoft”!! How wrong I was. Not only was the amount that was debited to my credit card different to that advertised by them but I ended up with a complete mess of a computer and battled to get out. They actually infect your computer with all sorts of viruses that I have had to now send to an expert to have my hard drive reformatted with consequent loss of a lot of personal data etc.
The so called web address they sent on the payment confirmation from a crowd called eSafeBill is impossible to get hold of.
I would like companies like VISA & Mastercard to block payments to such unscrupolous operators.

800Notes – 202-403-0827

consumer alert

Got the call this AM too, the Career Network. Knowing the laws, I asked to speak with a supervisor. They were just suppose to be verifying information, right? The girl first time around, gave me another number to call. When asked to be transferred, they girl hung up. I called back. Got a lady by the name “Pinky”. Asked if that was her real name, she stated yes. Went through the explaination again. She could not or would not give me any information but the name of the company & 2 different numbers to call. She could not even supply me with a physical address for the company. So, I called the first number: 678-691-4060, got a fast beep. Called the 800-875-5677 or the Career Institute. Got a little more information. Spoke with a Hannah. Told me that the Career Network (202-403-0827) was an outside 3rd party that they use. I asked to speak to a manager since I have not applied for a job in years, let alone use my cell on the application. I was told that the manager Mark Brown was in a meeting. I was politely asked to call back in a few hours to speak with him. I fully intended to do that, however I suggest everyone call Mr. Brown & complain. Maybe he will stop using this “outside 3rd party” to soliciate “students” to a crappy school.

Caller ID: 202-403-0827
Caller: Career Network

Caller Type: Telemarketer

This was a follow up call to an email I had recieved about a Logistics Coordinator position. They told me they were part of the Career Network and I had to be at a computer to complete the screening. Being at work I couldn’t but I was given a number to call back to, 646-520-0697, when I was able to call back and verify. I looked it up and that number brought me here. as well as the number on my caller ID 202-403-0827. Sounds like a scam, I’ll give it a miss.

Caller ID: 202-403-0827
Caller: Career Network

Caller Type: Commercial

It’s a scam and a waste of your time.
Here’s some info on Career Network. They’re incorporated in Delaware, and operate local offices under this name, in various states. There are similar companies such as Education Bridge, Inc, based in
Bellvue, WA, that will be calling you as well, since these companies sell each other your contact information.
Basically, they are advertising/marketing firms that submit fake job ads online, in order to get your personal information and try to sell you things.

Here’s what I do:
Search through the Secretary of State’s website for that State that they are incorporated in, for example, Career Network in Florida. Look up their latest business filings, and from them, you can get the name of
the president and officers of the company, and/or their lawyer. Call them and ask them if they are interested in furthering their education.
Or, do them a favor and sign them up to the calling list.

Phone: (321) 293-3236

I received another call from 202-403-0827 (Career Network). This is in reference to an online job I applied for — an obvious scam; marketing ploy. Despite my repeated requests to be removed from their calling list, this time I called them back, giving them my actual cell #, then told them, “No, this is not <MY NAME>”.

I was polite and told them, “I live in <HAWAII>, in an earlier time zone, and I keep getting calls”. The rep was VERY apologetic and said she would “Let them know to remove my number…. and that I will no longer be contacted”. GREAT!!

Then I proceeded to call my local telephone company to report 202-403-0827. They were very helpful, and instantly placed 202-403-0827 on a 90-day block, FREE of charge!

Therefore, if/when someone from 202-403-0827 tries to call me again, they will automatically be filtered to an automated recording informing them that “The number you are calling is no longer in service”. What is even better, I will not hear my phone ring either!

In the meanwhile, I have filed a formal, written complaint to the BBB.

They keep calling, leaving automated messages to call back and speak to a Verification Specialist. I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THEIR GAMES, so I got smart and called back, this time in a sleepy voice. When asked to verify my ph# I did ONLY because they already have it from some bogus job ad I applied to. Next when they asked my name I pretended not to be NAME then said, No, that’s not me. Then I said how I keep getting calls and now it is 5 AM because I live in HAWAII, just to derail them. Then I said, maybe somebody must have given you my ph# by mistake? I proceeded to ask them all sorts of WHY questions in a concerned voice. The so-called Verification Rep was VERY apologetic telling me she was sorry and would have their dept. remove my ph#. Since then no calls from 202-403-0827 BUT just to be sure, I called the local ph company where they put a 90-day block on it. So next time if/when Career Network calls, then they will be filtered to a disconnected #. What’s even better, I will NEVER hear my phone ring again from these scammers who keep preying on innocent job seekers!

Caller ID: 202-403-0827
Caller: Career Network

Caller Type: Telemarketer

It is AMAZING these scammers are still in business! It is tough enough being unemployed and having to sift through the many bogus job ads. I get calls from them at least twice a week asking me to call back and speak to a ‘Verification Specialist’. The first time I did & answered Yes when they asked to verify my name, add, etc. I thought it was strange since all that is listed on my resume. Then I get another call and another so finally I asked to be removed from their mail list. They say will do that but they just lie because another call comes in from a different person. It is just a vicious loop, an endless cycle repeating itself until they pester you to give in. All they want is to get you in front of a computer. **BIG RED FLAG** !!!!! BEWARE !!!!! NEVER give out your social security # and driver’s license or credit card information!! These people are trying to get you to register for online schooling. They post FAKE jobs on multiple online job websites and operate under several alias’.

I ended up calling my local phone company and they placed a 90-day block on this number. This should STOP anymore calls from 202-403-0827.

GLOBAL CLEARANCE INC LOTTERY AND SignSWEEPSTAKES SERVICES sent me a bogus $4,450 check for MEGA MILLION SWEEPSTAKES with instructions to call Doris Mckenzie to start claim process. Edmonton, Other

Phone: 778-319-8029

I do enter so my heart skipped a beat when I opened the envelope and a check for $4,450 fell out.  From a comany called JEWELTEX MFG. CORP.

Suspicous, but hopeful, I googled Jeweltex and lots of websites showed up.  I got a bit more excited.  This might be real after all.  I am an unemployed single mother in danger of losing my home for my children.  Times are tough, but I am trying to work through it.  I sound like your typical spammer if I go on with my situation, so I won’t.  Suffice it to say that if this were real, it would be an enormous benefit to me & my kids.

Then I Googled GLOBAL CLEARANCE INC and the phone number included 778-319-8029 and the claims agent name and number.  Thats when I found Ripoff Report.  I am glad I found this before I made a fool of myself by trying to cash the check.  At first it looks real, but now I notice that there is no stub with it and no phone number for Jewltex MFG Corp.  The letter included shows all sorts of Claim numbers, lucky winning numbers and best of all a balance of $120,550.00

And why would it come with the name of a Tax Agent (Carla Westbrook) and an address in London (1640 Voss Road, London, UK)?  hmmm?

Just for kicks I called the number and surprisingly there is no answer.  More hmmm?
Anyway, I think it is a lousy thing for them to do to anyone.  There are alot of folks out there in much worse straits than I am and they might be desperate enough to fall for this.  These people should be ashamed of themselves.  I know they are not, but by all rights they should be.  I am Totally Disgusted with them.

I went to this plastic surgeon to get a quote for a facelift; they ran my credit. My medical dr. Advised me against it; I cancelled the surgery. They have charged my credit card $6700, and despite certified letters, and numerous calls and visits they will not credit back my card.

I have met two other women that have the same problem with this dr.

I bought their software called Registry Patrol, along with a free Driver Patrol software. I paid #39.95 for the product with my bank debit card through PayPal which is how they received by money.

The product didn’t work, nor could I use the codes they emailed me. I tried to contact them, they only emailed me that they would get back to me in 24-48 hours, that was about 3 weeks ago.

Now I can not even find their website, nor will they contact me after all the emails I sent trying to solve this problem. They have vanished into thin air like the ghost and the ghouls of holloween past along with my money.

ATB Trust Financial services Inc
10221 102 street NW
Edmonton, British Columbia
United States
of America
Phone: 778-865-6977
Phone: (778)865-6977

On October 28th, 2009 my 66 year old father received a letter with no return address. When he opened it the letter looked very very official. The letter head was from ATB TRUST FINANCIAL SERVICES
INC located at 10221 102 street NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 4CS, Canada. Phone number 1-778-865-6977, dated October 22nd, 2009 and a claim number. The letter stated that he was a sinner in the “CONSUMER PROTECTION SWEEPSTAKES DRAWING” held among randomly selected individuals/ customers of Wal-Mart (notices how WalMart is hyphenated?), Home Depot, Sears, Safeway, and several telecommunications companies located in North American & Western Europe. And that the drawing was held on October 16th, 2009.

The letter stated he had won $250,000.00 and that it would be delivered by certified check. He just needed to contact his Claims Agent Donna Lynn at 1-778-865-6977. A check was enclosed for the sum of $4,450.00 which he will use to pay the Non-Resident Government Service Tax, payable to the tax agent by Western Union as stated below:

ALLEN BUMPHERY, 2 Thornton Court, NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 2E7, Canada or to JOAN LUGGARD, 46 ST Martin’s Lane, London WC2N 4HX, UK and that the tax amount is $3,990.00.

They asked him NOT to act on this letter till he speaks with Donna Lynn his claims agent. The letter was signed by a JAPHET GUIFULD (promotions Manager) and stamper APPROVED at the bottom.

I want to thank Mr. Brad Prosser of the Magnolia State Bank for notifying my father of this fraud. The check is a fraud, and if my father had acted on it he would have been out of $4,450.00, on his pension and Social Security.

I hope this helps others.

FEDMOD.COM – FLM – Federal Loan Modification Been ignored by your mortgage company (OCWEN) try hiring a lawyer for real abuse Los Angeles California

FEDMOD.COM – FLM – Federal Loan Modification
Phone: 877-394-6873
Fax: 323-658-3030
6420 Wilshire Blvd Suite 200
Los Angeles, California 90048
U.S.

After $1500 and three weeks of being ignored still nothing has happened with our loan modification . In fact this company called me last Tuesday to ask if they could process the remainder of the payment (another $1500) 28oct08 of course I asked what was happening with our modification and no one knew what was happening . I told Daniel Geffen ( the man that told me fed mod was a group of lawyers ) { what he meant to say is they are a group of liars } well they took the money from my bankaccount after being told the money was not there . I was notified Wednesday by my bank that I was $500 over drawn. I then attempted to contact Fedmod several phone calls and no one returned any calls (all I get is voice mail)

I was first told Cindy was my case worker . I found a message on my home phone from Cindy . I tried to call back when I got home ( I guess it was too much trouble to call my cell since I am not home in the daytime ) of course she never returned my call . Now after Daniel processed an unauthorized payment I made several attempts to contact someone at Fedmod I finally got a hold of June. She told me my money would be returned .(June has been the only person at Fedmod to actually return a call). June first put me in touch with Jeff Brotton . He called me on Thursday after I still had not received repayment . He told me that my money would be processed that day and He was going to talk to the mortgage company this afternoon and would be in touch afterwards He even gave me his cell # of course he never called back Friday morning I still had not received the payment reversal . Now I was told by Jeff that my case worker was Taren and was given her number . She has never called me . Now Monday after several calls to Jeff Brotton which were never returned . It has now been a week since the unauthorized withdrawal several phone calls to June finally 3pm my money was returned . Now I still have my mortgage company crawling on my back so what is happening with my case? No one knows ! I have since called the California State Bar (fedmod is supposed to be a group of lawyers) surprise!!! they are not registered with California. But I don’t really care and shouldn’t matter since my finance company is in Florida. but anyway California State Bar told me to look up fedmod or Federal Loan Modification at the Better Business Bureau …Guess what surprise they have a D rating urging CAUTION when doing business with them. I did a search before I gave them any money …of course they have only been operating for 6 weeks so here I am warning you about them .

Oh and why did I hire attorneys to deal with my mortgage company ?? Look up OCWEN….and remember my complaint is not in there since there are so many complaints I figured it would be another waste of time …..no one will read all 1500 complaints (and counting)

I am going through the same situation

About 3 months ago I saw an ad for Fedmod and knowing my parents needed help I suggested them. We called and spoke to a man by the name Andrew who spoke well getting upset at the right moments and sympathetic at the other moments. After about an hour of talking with him we decided to think about it. I did checks on the company, but never really found anything on them since they were pretty new. At that time there was no listing of them on the BBB site nor ripoffreport. We needed help and called Andrew back and talked another half hour. We finally decided to sign up. We took a loan to start the process and struggled and pinched pennies to pay the rest of the payments. We was told at the start we will be updated weekly but never once got a call. We was told after we sign up they will put in a freeze on the mortgages and for us not to pay them. We had to call them weekly for an update, but we was always told the same thing, we are working on it and it takes time. We was assigned a case manager named Cindy. She never called us and always told us well if you dont hear from me next week call me and we would and she never answered unless you caught her by accident. I believe they had caller ID cause they would answer Hi so and so Cindy will call you back. We left message after message with no call backs from Cindy. We started getting calls from the mortgage company demanding money and threatening forclosures. We would try calling Cindy to let her know but she rarely got on the phone. We would get ahold of Andrew a little more and would tell him of the situation. All Andrew would say is “That is their job to scare you and collect money”. Well 3 weeks ago my mother had a heart attack (she is doing better) but she was desprately wanting to know what fed mod was doing since she is stressing out. I called and was told Cindy is training people so she is out of the office. I called Andrew and spoke to him to tell him everything that is going on he appologized for the slowness and offered sympathy for my mother. He then followed with asking me when can they get their last payment. I asked him when will we get results and he swore to me he will call me the next day. 3 weeks later we never got a call back and been so busy with my mothers health and my back surgery we didnt have time to call. I finally called back yesterday and was told Andrew and Cindy are no longer with the company. No one knew why they were gone and no one knew who is now handling our case. I was told I will get a call back today by a manager so I will update later.
