Was contacted by a Ruby Cunningham regarding this network hosting business opportunity. Was reluctant to part with any money and advised that I would need to think things through before going any further. I would receive an upgrade to the Elite package for $188.00 instead of the normal $288.00 price and four search engines. Ruby however was guaranteed that I would get my money back if things did not work out so I therefore signed up and parted with my initial payment of $995.00 for the Training Package. That same day, I was contacted by a Frank La Roca and was advised that a Trainer would be calling me every week to build this website. Approximately 1 week later, I was telephoned by an Oliver who again reinterated the guarantee and proceeded to further advise that to truly get to my 'niche' market, I would be required to further update my membership, to enable additional traffic to visit my site. I parted with another $3,500.00. The crux of the situation became evident when on 2nd September, I was contacted by a Evan Rogers (The Tax Club) and Dominic Suarez who both advised that because I was an Australian citizen, American citizen would be reluctant to visit my store if I was not listed as a 'limited liability company' and did not have an EIN Number (same as an ABN). They would then appoint a Resident Agent (a legal point of contact for business) who would handle all my tax/business affairs within the USA. To become a global interprise, I would need to have a global address. At the time, I agreed to a further payment of $4,785.00. I was contacted by Jerry Suntharo the next day and advised that he would be my Account Executive. On the 6th of September, I contacted by financial institution and advised that I had changed my mind. Fortunately, the payment at this point had not gone through (due to it being the weekend and a holiday in the US). I was advised by the bank that it could not be stopped however they would not authorise it. I was advised by the bank to contact the company involved. On the 6th of September, I sent an email to Jerry Suntharo from the Tax Club and another to Online Hosting Network. I received a phone call approx. 48 hours later from Gary, their Quality Controller advising that I would could not opt out of the programme as I would lose my whole investment ($4,863.00) and had the wait the 90 day period. I am still waiting to hear from the Tax Club. The bank further advised that if the amount of $4,785.00 was debited on my account, a dispute would be issued and they would get involved.
Stupid me, have read about scam but never thought I would be so gullible as to one of the people scammed. So ashamed and downright stupid!
