Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

My story is a bit different from the other gentleman. I saw an ad on Facebook to mail out postcards so I contacted them and the next thing I knew I was getting credit cards to purchase a $10,000 website plan and get all the things I needed to set up a online pet store business and they were going to do Facebook Twitter tick-tock Pinterest and I was to have a phone meeting every week with this trainer and be up and going by Black Friday and Christmas and oh I’d be able to pay the payments and they told me to say that I was making $90k year which was a lie to get these credit cards they said oh but you will be and that’s what they mean is your potential income well potential I haven’t made a dime I’m going to just tell him I’m done and I need my money back and hope that I get it and if I don’t, I hope you guys can help it all seems so believable there with all these people I talk to you for different things and different problems. I talk to somebody else and somebody upset at my computer and it just went on and onto where they had me believing that it was a real business, and then, when I was to pick my products, there was nothing unique, and I was to pick things that were made in the United States or Canada stuff. You could go to Walmart and buy for pennies to what I was selling it for and it just is very disappointing and I don’t have the money to pay these credit cards back and $32,000 in debt.

I was told one thing and delivered another

I have read the first complaint and want to add what happened to me because it is very similar. First off, I don’t know how they got my email, but they contacted me and asked to set up a call. After back and forth conversation that involved me opening 4 credit cards to fund things, I was made to pay an initial $7200 for website design.

A few days later, when niche was discussed for my e-commerce business, I was asked to take my new credit card #2 and purchase $12,500 dollars worth of marketing including SEO, a YouTube video, social media posts to all the major hitters like instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok , and an implication that all of this is building a business on credit like our forefathers did before. A week later, marketing dept took $10000 to start a campaign that included all the social marketing automation, a promised press release and other ways to get sales. Again, no guarantee of sales but strong implication that it would not take long to see results. My ROI would be phenomenal.

What I received was very bland, generic videos and ads for social media, which included none of my store’s products and generally looked like they were made in 5 seconds by AI. The website, which was reported as fully custom tailored to me and my brand, was nice enough, minus spelling and grammar problems, pictures that did not represent my products, and copy that was vague and suggested I would be available with my team to guide clients through interior design; I just want to sell wall art and decor. As an artist I was looking for a way to integrate my personal work with a thriving site. The business consultant, supposedly helping set up an llc in my website’s name, told me never to get scared and use my own money to pay the credit card bills. The profits would come very soon. Between the first two or three weeks. 60 days have passed with 0 views on my site, almost no traffic to any of my social accounts and absolutely no revenue. It wasn’t until another business friended me on Facebook that I changed my confidence level. Their site was a clone of mine, down to the horrible grammar and spelling mistakes, product images and layout/responsive elements. The ad work was lacking any social input, video reels were boring and off brand, and all materials were promised to be great for the audience. As bills mounted with out sales or views…VIEWS! I decided to follow their return policy protocol and initiate a return of my now $29k investment. The support email for purdesignteam.com kicked back with mailer daemon claiming it didn’t exist. Elevatedmarketingsolution.com, the main company I paid for services, returned my email with a phone conversation, there was a promise of someone getting fired for this egregious misstep and an apologetic decision to redo everything from the website design to the marketing strategy in 5 days. They have two more days. When I spoke with the customer support rep, he didn’t even acknowledge the ROI problem I had, nor did he seem like this was anything to worry about. I have another call with him on Monday, at which time I want to readdress my refund requests. But I don’t want to tell them I think this is pretty scammy. I want access while I take them down. I kept my contracts saved in my files, and have let my card carriers know I believe there is fraud involved.

They were going to help me open a business online. Originally it would cost me $9000. Total. Then they add another $12500. Saying this was for marketing purposes. I paid $5000. Which was all they could get from the credit card I had used. Wanting to put the remainder on another credit card they said I would need for the business. It was declined so I called the bank and put a hold on the credit card because they wanted financial information. The company said they were still working on getting my business launched on line while waiting for payment. Today I went on line on another computer and the business was actually running. On my version I have only 5 sections and no product. Online there are maybe 10 sections and has product you can purchase. I believe they are using this website forgery to get me to pay more. I canceled my credit cards and tried to print the agreements I signed and they are not available anymore.
