Misleading Business Practices

I, like many, have fallen foul of Fortune Learning Systems and their slick sales talk. I'm in Scotland where I've been trying to make a success of Internet Marketing and a call "out of the Blue" from them was just what the doctor ordered... more the fool me! After parting with £5600 (approx. $8300) and paid by VISA, I was given a quick "run down" of what would follow in the next few days as regards documentation and gurantees, and given the name of my Guidance Coach. I had better point-out that they had some really good testimonials at the time otherwise I wouldn't have parted with a penny.

My Guidance Coach contacted me to make his introduction and set dates and times to do our coaching sessions (30-45 minutes each and by telephone). Excellent I thought, these people are really on the ball... HA!!! My first session was how to make money properly on eBay. In a nutshell I knew more than my coach and I'm not an expert.

Long story short... I've since discovered that my £5600 only covers me for 10 sessions. That means that with each phone call they are earning £560 each!!! I was given the impression that my course would last for at least 6 months not 10 weeks, and if you think about it they would be gaining £5600 for only 5 hours work... not happy!!!

And whilst this has been going on, I've been sending them eMails to ask for the receipts for the course so that I can apply to the UK Tax Office for a refund of the Tax paid on this course. Not a single eMail has been answered.

The most recent thing has been that their websites have been switched off with a message reading " Site Under Repair"... yeah right. I've also stumbled across an on-line forum that has over 200 complaints about these people. Oh and my Guidance Coach all of a sudden has stopped calling me.

Being outside the United States I'm not sure how I stand when it comes to refunds, hopefully the fact that I paid by VISA may help.

These people have to be stopped.

Rick.
