Call several times a day asking for someone else. Yellow pages says it's from Prosper Learning in ID. They teach investment and real estate. I just want them to leave me alone.
For the past few days, I received several calls from this number. Found out that it was Prosper Learning.
Had a horrible experience with E Commerce Exchange who took me for a long ride. Lost about $300.
and cannot get it back no matter how hard I tried or who I wrote to.Had to put a Freeze on my Bank Account.In a HONEST SOCIETY this wouldn't be called for. Also had several calls from Duvera
Financial asking for money that I was supposed to pay them, all associated with ECX. That is how some folks make a living and Our Great Government won't do anything about it.
My advice is to stay away fro any At-Home Business.
Prosper obtains contracts from various vendors (Real Estate Investing, E-Commerce, Stock Market Investing, Entrepreneurship & Personal Finance) for the right to sell their educational products. They also let the vendors know that they will be contacting buyers and present them with their own coaching program.
After you purchase the vendors information, Prosper contacts you, not as Prosper Learning, but as that vendor's success team. They then state that they are looking for a few select motivated individuals to obtain success stories. The wording is stated in such a way that it infers that the program will be free.
When you talk to them, they will constantly refer back to the vendor and implying that they will coach you on the methods you have just purchased.
If you are impressed with the vendors information, it is a simple matter of just continuing to let you know that they are an educational provider for that vendor. That infers that they will be teaching you that program.
At this point, your guard is down. The promises are made and the transaction takes place.
After agreeing to thousands of dollars and going through the so-called mentoring program, you find out that it did not even cover one-tenth of the information contained in the vendor's product that probably cost less than $100.
The coaches/mentors are merely trainers that stick to the pitiful training manual supplied to you and will not go off topic. They are only interested in how well you understood the basic information that comes from the training manual.
They will not give you any advice or review any of your work.
This type of sales tactic is fraudulent and is covered under Section 5 of the FTC Act – "Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices". The FTC's legal branch has the authority to rescind a contract.
We will all need to file a complaint for the FTC to take action. Please pass this information on to as many websites as possible.
They called me up after purchasing an Internet Marketing study course online. They said they were from the same company that I bought the course from. They said they were looking for a few people to get some 1 on 1 mentoring.
So I told them to call me back. The same dude called me back and gave me an initial interview. Asked me how much money I was making, how much I would like to be making. And also, they asked me how much I had in my bank and credit cards..... Then he said he would call me back again, and I would be able to speak with the higher ups for another interview. Already it was starting to sound fishy.
On the next call he told me to write down 5 things, the last thing being investment. And here is where everything went bad. He said he could set me up with a bank loan through the company, and I would need $600 on my end to get going. He suggested maxing out my credit cards, and taking some from my savings to do this. This is when I told him I wasn't interested in going through with it, because it was sounding more and more like a scam. He proceeded to wish me luck in my en-devours, but in a way that he was telling me I would never succeed without there mentoring, and I hung up.
