Dynamic Merchants, Pinnacle Marketing, Ebiz Financial
Complaint 19239 Details

On 6/20/11 Sean Anderson ca. me representing Pinnacle Investment Merchants. He explained to me about this business that I could be an agent with. He said they are covered or approved by the Federal Tade Commission and completely above board, and legal. He also said my credit card company would back me doing this business and if I didn't have enough available credit on my credit card (which I did have) that the credit card company would increase my amount if I needed to. So he said, we can even call the company (Citi bank and Bank of America) and have a three way conversation! The three way conversation was not with another human but with a recording. He got all my information of available credit, etc. I thought this mand sounded so legitimate that I allowed him to continue. We were on the phone possibly for 45 minutes total. He told me all the numbers, how I would make a certain amount, how they wanted you to do three things when you got your money from this business. The first was pay yourself, pay your bills and pay the amount to the credit card company. He asked me to promise that I would follow these directions. I did. Then he referred me to three other people, Billy Bandino, Kristy his assistant. He told me in great length about himself, how he had adopted all these children, how God had blessed him with this business, how he was so successful. He said he would discount the "leads" and only charge me $10.00 per lead versus the usual $20.00, (that didn't happen) I was told the number he gave me was his direct line. When the transaction happened I was told that I would have to talk to him about further leads at $10.00 that they couldn't honor that and they ended up charging me the normal $20.00. I have spoken with four different individuals and today I spoke to the fifth who was exceptionally rude and condescending. A Russ Harris, (866)890-8511 (on my phone ID it said Ebiz Financial. I have looked up Ebiz financial and they have locations in Costa Rica and Panama! I am 61, my ex husband died in September of 2010, we had just divorced recently. So I was looking for something for me to make some income. This sounded so promising.

I am virtually sick over this. The credit card Fraud dept has paid them, they said there was nothing more they could do, that the contract seemed like it was legal and I had signed, etc. I will lose my house because of this as I was using the available credit on my credit card to pay bills, property taxes etc. I have no income, I was paid the last of my Workers Compensation in July for two shoulder surgeries. I am very scared and alone regarding this. Can you help me.
