Ace Marketing Group LLC
Complaint 287148 Details

Ace Marketing Group LLC are a group of scammers and ripoff professionals. They called my home telephone number and gave me a big sales pitch about how everyone was making thousands by having their own "Amazon Store" online. I had heard about Amazon's affiliate business program and thought this was one and the same. It was not. I have since spoken to Amazon directly. So Ace Marketing told me that for $99 (through a surrogate company called Web Knowledge LLC) they would set up my store front (or website) where people could buy products and I would earn commissions on all sales originating therefrom. This was on July 18, 2013. Then on July 30, 2013, (Ace Marketing Group LLC) called and convinced me that I needed to buy their $5000 Standard "advertising package" and told me I could make THOUSANDS with their advertising help. I swallowed their garbage hook line and sinker. They even supplied me with a very cheesy "ad tracker" to make everything look so "legitimate" and so that I could monitor how my "campaign" was going. I told them that I didn't have the $5000 so I agreed to pay them $2500 at the beginning of campaign and the other $2500 at the end of the 6 months. So I spent roughly $2700 for what they claimed was going to be a very hot item and because I was getting into business with them at the right time (just before the Christmas rush of 2013), I would make thousands due to the upcoming Christmas shopping season. They even promised that if I did not earn back 125% of my investment for their 6-month advertising campaign, they would be happy to run my campaign for another 6 months at no additional cost. They even included another affiliate marketing website (through another surrogate company Affiliate Business Group LLC) that they said would also earn thousands in commissions based on my recruiting others to come and take part in this big SCAM. They also told me that the program was on "autopilot" because of the great advertising that they would be performing on my behalf. They even took things a step further and told me that they would be assigning to me a personal "coach" to insure my success. A red flag should have gone up at that point, because if the program was on "autopilot" as they claimed, why in the world would I need a "personal coach". After about 21/2 months I called to express my concerns and after their "refund policy" period had ended (30 days), I saw that I had no sales to report and no hits to my website. So I called them to get answers and to request a refund. They blew me off and said that they would have my "personal coach" call me back and get things going in the right direction. I never got the call. I began to realize that they had simply put me off. The refund period is about to expire and I keep monitoring my sales campaign and still see no results. So after three and a half months I have received ZERO sales and ZERO hits to my website. When I called to cancel the program and ask for a refund, they blew me off because they don't offer money back guarantee. I submitted a dispute with my credit card but was denied the refund because of insufficient evidence that they were not doing their job. Will continue to research the company to get any information that will help me get my money back
