Online Profit Masters
Complaint 339091 Details

My oldest Daughter, while a student at Michigan State University she saw a tweet from a company purporting to be “Online Profit Masters” regarding an online opportunity to make money. All she had to do was pay this company money for startup and training. The Initial cost quoted was for $ 10,000 by David Merrill. When she informed Mr. Merrill that she did not have that much and attempted to back away, the cost was revised down to $6,000 as a “student Discount”. He further advised her to use multiple credit cards, to max out her cards limits and to even open up new cards. She was also admonished “not to tell her friends and parents as they would not understand.”
My daughter is Bi-Polar and has impulse control issues.
She tried several times to contact the company and her calls were unreturned. As a last resort, I contacted this company and setup a call from a company officer using the name of Skylar Jarman. During that call regarding her situation, I explained about her illness and requested a full refund, which was denied. A second request for a pro-rated refund was also denied.
Summary of Transactions:

We feel that due to her diminished capacity brought about by her illness and the dubious business practices of “Yes International,” aka “Online Profit Masters,” aka “Your Ecommerce Support International, LLC” and their associates (Austin Bawden, David Merrill, Lorenzo Meacham and Skylar Jarman)
