Complaint 60282 Details

I received an e-mail from Karla Silver, the owner of the E-mail listed above. In addition, she is connected to www.OptimizeFreedom.com/Silver and www.guerrillamarketing.com.

After reviewing some documents and video's Karla sent, including many from Wendy Stevens, President of Local Guerrilla Marketing, I signed up to represent Local Guerrilla Marketing as an independent associate. I made it clear through numerous e-mails and telephone conversations to Karla Silver that I needed an immediate cash flow from this investment. She assured me that, not only was this possible, but that my need for $2,500 just to break even monthly was "too low."

Once I got into the business details and started prospecting, I realized that this product is like any other. There are no quick fixes. The sales process is long, especially with a brand that has no national recognizition and where many involve new technologies with a steep learning curve. This product will not "sell itself" as was promised, nor is there any chance in hell that it is going to pay me $2,500 a month.

Further, Optimize Freedom/Local Guerrilla Marketing IS a pyramid scheme. The greatest returns come from, not selling products or services, but from recruiting members. It pays $500 a recruit while the services only garner a 10% commission.

After careful analysis, I contacted Karla Silver on 1/17/12 after I received an e-mail asking for my bank account number. This is to debit my account each month for $50.00. I asked for a refund and all that she offered was to put me on "inactive" status. To reactive, I would have to pay another $1,000.00!
