After paying Online Profit Masters money for information on how to make money working from home (online), I received a phone call from what I thought was Online Profit Masters. They asked a lot of questions and their pitch was they were looking for people who would become their success story. After talking with a female, I was told her manager would call me if I met all their requirements and to interview me. If I was a good fit, I would be invited to their program (meets all the requirements of web scam from FTC's website). The manager called and I was invited to their program. The education I would receive would cost about $3500.00, but if I put down $399.00 they could finance the rest at about $130.00 a month. I fell for it. I did e-sign a contract, but not a finance contract. An appointment was set up for me with a coach a few days later. He wanted me to buy and sell on eBay. I was not comfortable with this and I did set up a PayPal account and spent 10 dollars on some recipes.
The next week he called, but we didn't speak since I hadn't done much. The next phone call I received was from another person from their company wanting me to start an LLC business, but the catch here is they wanted me to use their legal team and pay $2275.00 for it. If I could put a down payment of $775.00, they could finance the rest. After this, I called the company to cancel and I was told no due to the contract I signed. The clause only has a 3-day refund period after I signed the contract. A certified letter was to be sent by me to them within the 3 days for the refund. I told them I was not going to use their product and now I have a $3000.00 bill. I was told if I didn't pay them, I would be sent to collection. They, however, said that if I send them $500.00 in the next 30 days, they would null the contract as a settlement payment. I signed the deceptive contract on March 23, 2012 and called them April 9th, 2012 to cancel. I can't believe (like many others) I fell for this scam.
