I was contacted by their recruiter, Mike in May. Originally, I was looking for online work for other companies. I'm familiar with online sales since I currently sell on ebay. When contacted, this was the impression I was under. Obviously not the case. I'm ashamed to say I bought into their spiel and thought I could use the education they promised to make a successful online business.
This has not been the case. The "so called coaches" they assign to you seem clueless. They are hard to get in contact with and at times I had to wait for almost a week for a response. There is a 10 week period were the coach calls you weekly at a scheduled time. I had about 2 calls at the time scheduled and then she would call 15 min earlier, leave a message and become unavailable for the rest of the day. One week she didn't even call and it was counted.The coach couldn't even answer most of my questions and the call lasted about 10 minutes. At week 8 I unexpectedly got a new coach who had no idea were I was in my progress or what he was talking about.
Finally, because of the lack of support or knowledge, I paid for my website design through Godaddy.com. This was an extra $1500.00. But at least they could help me immediately. I could've saved a lot of money and stress by going through a company that was professional and informative.
Focus is a joke. And on top of the money I already invested I have to pay $39.95 a month for the e library that taught me nothing. What was the $10,000.00 for?! I have attempted to get a refund or at least for the cost of my website since they were unable to provide me with the proper information to do so, with no avail.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

- you can dispute it through your credit card they charged. they charged 2 of my cards and that is what i am doing. the more proof you can send them the better your chances. copy all the complaints and the company report and fax your credit card, they will remove the charges . don't think they can just take your money and get away with it because they can't. the took almost $13,000. from me and i guarantee i will get it back. another company affiliated with focus called, never saying they were another company and charged over $5,000. on another credit card of mine. i sent him an email and told him i wanted to cancell whatever this was and it was fraud how he didn't say he wasn't from focuslc but an affiliate. told him i reported it to my credit card already and requested a refund from them (the company) the very next day i got an email saying they received my cancelation request and will credit my card back which they did that same day. this guy had told me earlier in our 1 phone call that i was past the 3 day period to cancel but within the 15 days and would take a 15% fee out but they didn't i got all my money back. when you stand up to these scammers and let them know they have scammed you then file a dispute with your credit card, you will get your money back. don't even think because they told you they can't refund you that you can't get your money back because there are many options avaailable to you. people can't do this and get away with it unless you don't do anything about it. they hacked into your computer to have even gotten your name. let them know you now know this and see i you don't get some action. hope this helped. connie
