I was called in February of 2013. I had been searching online for a busines I could work for from home since I was getting ready to retire and wanted to work a little in an online business. After about 2 hours of conversation about the company, the possibilities of residual income, and up front returns of a percentage of small business loans, I was so pressured to "act now", that I responded irrationally. I was also told that with the leads I was getting I would be able to make my initial investment back in 2 months. I signed on for 500 leads @ $10.00 each for a total of S5,000. The invoice from them also included 5,000 targeted traffic, a uniqued domain name/search engine optimization, BBW stamp on Site, and an expanded Downline. I did receive training DVDs and a List of names that were to be my leads.
They selected a website name, gave me info on how they would build traffic to the website and get new leads.
It is now September 4. Everytime I checked the "back office" at the website I would see the same 30-60 "leads", in various states of negotiations. Many have already been closed "no sale". Some are waiting for leads to send statements, some have statements in analysis, some have proposals being made.
So far, after 6 months, there has not been one sale, or loan completed. I think enough time has elapsed that I should be seeing some results. I have been receiving calls from Betty who states she is working my accounts and I am scheduled to speak with her again this Thursday.
In addition as of yesterday, I can no longer access their web page or see my back Office.
It appears they also function under the name of JST E-BIZ SERVICES and My Green Mechant Services.
I also paid an additional $5000.00 to Adknowledge who state they are an advertising company and they will help to build your online credibility. They work in tandem with Top Choice Merchants.
I would like to get my money back and have the funds charged back to my credit card accounts. Although I realize the liklihood of this happening is pretty small.
I hold a Masters degree in Business Administration so I should have known this was too good to be true but they have a very good line and send you to different places to check out their business.
Update: 09/04/2013
I do have a copy of the invoice from Green merchants but not on the computer. My scanner is not working so would have to fax it in.

- I was called on 9/5 by Betty and of 500 so called leads only 22 were left open. None of the 500 has produced any income. She said that Karen DiAngelo would be calling me on Monday to discuss other things we could do to generate some income. Ms. Diangelo actually called on 9/5 and stated that my caopaign would be closing soon. they would finish working the 22 leads that they had and that would be it. She said that they might be able to offer more coaching or something else which I thought was interesting since I received no coaching and Betty Marshall was to be my coach. I am sure they intend to offer these services for more money. She also stated that I would not be hearing from Betty any more. Can't these people be stopped? They are using the internet to perpetrate a scam which I believe is illegal. they should be picked up and convicted.
