Apply Knowledge Institute
Complaint 198682 Details

I signed up for a program online that was supposed to help me start my online business for ($49.99), hoping I could start making money at home. Shortly after I was contacted by Jeff Jeffries from Apply Knowledge Institute saying he was aware of the purchase that I had just made and was able to help me get everything going with some “coaching.” I would be making money in no time!!!
Jeff told me that all I needed to was to pay start-up costs and they would do the rest ($4,800). I was then directed to sites that helped me learn more about selling more using Ebay and such websites. The sites worked fine for a little while then it stopped. I contacted Apply Knowledge and I was told that someone would contact me to walk me through fixing those issues. I was contacted by some pushy little snot named Bryan, telling me that I would need to upgrade the program and that would cost me ($1,700). A few days later I was also contacted by someone from The Tax Club informing me that I needed to have accounting help once my business was up and running. That cost me another ($2,300).
I haven’t spoken to a “coach” in months and I’m sitting here trying to figure out what it is my money really went for. It certainly wasn’t for ME to make money at home. It went straight into their pockets. My online business hasn’t produced anything because they did not do a thing!!! I tried contacting Apply Knowledge several times hoping that I can get my money refunded back to me and to cancel with them. They informed me that I was under a contract and I could pay the full amount, which was another $2,700, or they would sue me. I told them I would be contacting the Attorney General to straighten this out and hung up. I refuse to give them any more money. They never did anything in the first place.
I did some research on Apply Knowledge aka eVertex aka 6-Figure Consulting and The Tax Club. Neither have good reputations for providing the services that they promise. THEY ARE ALL SCAM AND SCUM!!! In my research, I came across a law firm that helped me get my money back with no money up front. I spoke to this very lovely woman named Cheryl @ 319.423.7643. She really got the ball rolling and I am SO THANKFUL to her.
Moral of the story….DON’T TRUST ANYONE WITH 2 FIRST NAMES(Jeff Jeffries) and certainly don’t trust Apply Knowledge Institute. They are no good and are only out to take money from people.
