Perhaps I was simply too gullible and uninformed. At first someone contacted me wanting to help me earn money on-line. He was very friendly. He was contacting me to see if I had the credit to invest. When it was determined that I did have good credit, he turned me over to someone else who told me that I could have a viable business working 10 hours a week. He said "failure was not a option." They would make sure I succeeded. Then I was contacted by someone from focus who wanted to sell me the whole package of selling on Ebay and the e-library. So, I got excited about that. That was $5,000. They suggested I sign up for Gogodropship for $1,800. So, I did that. Selling on Ebay was much harder and time consuming than I anticipated. I was despairing of ever getting my money back. Someone called me and I expressed my frustrations. They convinced me that the way I could make my money back was to have a custom website built. Again, the salesman was very encouraging and acted like he really cared about me. He said that Ignite would do everything for me so that I could start making money. He even "discounted" the price. So, I invested another $12,000. Boy, were they wrong! They really failed me on the marketing. I haven't had one sale. Now I have companies calling me telling what is wrong with my website, that it will never make money and wanting me to spend more money for them to fix it and market it for me. I am just sick about how much I've invested. Money that I didn't have to lose. I realize that I made a choice to buy into this. No one put a gun to my head, but I feel like I was led along with false promises.

  • you were lead along with false promises not to mention they breach their own contract. i see they have changed the hype by not saying you will make so much in 3 months. if you have not contacted any one concerning being scammed you should. you were scammed, don't take it as your fault. there are several agencys available out ther for you. i suggest the one you go to is the FTC.org and it opens the door to many more from that site or GOV>org. not to mention have you disputed this with your credit card companys? Don't accept what happened, work for your rights and to get your money back. it isn't easy and i have been working hrd on it for almost a year but refuse to give up and refuse to pay. i am trying to get policys changed by making banks responsible as they have first hand knowledge of scamming companys and when they see a charge from one they should contact the card member and share the information , then allow them so many days to investigate for them selves and decide if they so choose to remain with the company or report tham as a scam. i find the banks negligent in many ways yet it would be so easy for them to change a few things and work for the consumer and help stop scamming. anyone who is interested is helping me do this would be great because we can change things if in numbers and i want my money back and this company shut down.
