PMI,Professional Marketing International and My E Biz
Complaint 21570 Details

Basically the same story as others. A high pressure salesman keeps calling until you finally answer the phone. Then he insists that if you don't hear him out you will be missing out on the opportunity of your lifetime and that he must evaluate you to see if he can even approve you for the opportunity. Basically what this consists of is how must cash can you occur from combining all of your credit cards. I now know that if you have poor credit your not one of the ones that are going to succeed. I wish I would of had poor credit then I wouldn't have been taken. By the time you receive anything to review from them its past the three day cancellation period and your refused a refund. At this point your stuck so you decide to give it a chance although your feeling are telling you not to waste and further effort .Well it ends up having nothing to do with the teachings in Anthony Morrisons book regarding network marketing, which is how I started getting calls from PMI salespeople. You don't find this out until your first scheduled coaching session. Until then you are under the impression that you are going to be doing affiliate marking. They give you no details on the business and ensure you that all will be explained in the package that will be arriving in 2 business days. It shows up in 5 so cancellation is not even possible. Even if is did show up in 2 days giving you one day to review and cancel it states nothing so you still don't know what is going on. We really didn't really know what we were going to need to do until our first session.We found this out by asking the coach questions about doing affiliate marking in NY and he had no clue what we were referring to. Next comes the PMI toolbar and I had the same issues although we finally got this working. The MyEbizPro welcome paper in the information packet said that my website has been created and gave me a licence # and password to access it. I had no clue what was going on with this so I decided to check it out. I followed the instructions and nothing worked. I called the phone number they gave for assistance. I was then told that I have to call a different number as they don't handle this account. I am getting more and more skeptical of what I got us into. Next I call the other number and it is to a company called "Storesonline". At this point I was certain that we have been scammed. Before I agreed to the business I specifically asked Chad Jensen who was the PMI salesperson if that had any business relationships with a company called Storesonlne and he said no. He clearly lied to us to get our money. I did some brief research and this storesonline popped up with horror stories. I belive PMI and Storesonline are one of the same and Storesonline has now been changed to MyEbizPro because it had the lowest possible score with the Utah BBB. When I asked our coach about this he stated that no there isn't any website make yet. You have awhile before you even need to worry about that. They funny thing is you receive 6 months free hosting and guess when that starts. From the day they receive your payment!!!!! Yes you are paying hosting fees to a website that doesn't exist. After 6 months I receive a call no asking but telling me that I need to issue a credit card number to continue my website hosting. They really do think we are really stupid people. Now for the so-called PMI education. This is all simple common sense stuff that can be found all over the internet. They actually think this is variable information. I actually followed their plan and it's all simple straight forward stuff until you get to a certain point. If you follow it without skipping ahead like they insist you don'y want to do you will then have invested another grand or so to have a real business setup. If you don't do this then their other pattern the TAX CLUB will ensure you that you will never succeed without being incorporated. I even went to the PMI education online forum. I would of expected to see posts from hundreds of people involved in the business all asking questions to the coaches and discussing different things. The forum was joke. It actually appeared as if anything negative got deleted immediately. There was nothing of any use being discussed and I really got the impression that anyone using the forums were coaches or employed by PMI. Not at all what you would expect being in business for as long as stated. Still in dough we continued doing what we we supposed to. We registered a business name but then got stuck. This was 3 1/2 months later. The phone calls and e-mails stopped cold and we have not had any contact with PMI or any of there other alias's except for EBizPro asking for more money. Ebizpro has same address of PMI. Funny how that is. This will all come out in court if they want to play hardball.Anyone else interested in class action lawsuit please post and we will all get together. I am certain there are many more of us. Also be sure to file your complaint with the Utah BBB. That's where my lawyer told me to start and a letter to the governor of the state can also be beneficially in resolving disputes. I am checking with the local news station to see if they do what we do here in Buffalo and air complaints consumers make about companies and their personal. I am also embarrassed that I let myself get scammed. I have never been scammed before and still can't believe I let them get me. I have very intention of doing what can be legally to recover my losses. There is power in numbers so swallow your pride and take necessary action to recover your losses and prevent other hard working people from suffering the same fate .Anthony Morrison, PMI, Stores Online, Tax Club, EBizPro, PMI Coaching, PMI Education and a couple more I can't recall are all in bed together to take your money and provide nothing of any value in return. If they really truly cared about our success they have had the last 9 months to contacts us and see how we are doing. Ya right!
