Today (01/14/09) I was given a box and a book by my mother entitled COMPLETE STORE BUILDING PACKET & INTERNET CASH FLOW WORKSHOP published by STORESONLINE. I thought to myself great some good reading maybe I’ll learn something. All I learned is that middle-aged women will purchase just about anything from a glorified shoe salesman if it means they have a small hope of getting out of that dead-end job they use as a tool to keep food on the table. So this aside I find out that she has had this since 2003 on the back burner. YES HER MISTAKE but still I saw the receipt $4799.00 and that was with a discount. So I try to go to their site and log on with the Licenses and passwords provided inside their material because the one CD that was purchased led you right to the site. (It costs less money to create and mass produce their marketing material than they paid for one copy) So I try to log on but I get redirected to a 801 number and the person tells me “I’m sorry sir you’re not on the account”. Ok this is completely understandable. So I make a phone call and my mother calls and has me put on the account. Great we’re on our way. Not at all, I get home from work and sit down to try to log in again but still directed to the 801 number after hours. Hmmm’ I notice a little hyperlink under the login that is not at all large enough for this “companies” target market to read. So I click on it and I’m directed to a live chat. Ok finally. No not quite I get to talk to someone but they direct me to Storesonlinerenewal because the licenses have never been activated. Ok but when I get there the page tells me it will be another $400+ and that is at a discount. By this time I’m laughing so hard I almost wet myself. Ok I go back to the chat and tell them I don’t need their offer for renewal because all of these licenses have never been used. They tell me that I’ll have to renew for hosting reasons and it will be 24.95 per month. So I tell their person that I have my Domains and that they are published and hosted, they charge for this on top of the $4799, in-fact I read further into it and they are charging $2500 per license a year for keeping you published and $24.95 per month for and hosting. So I tell their agent this is a scam and I googled their name to find out the dirt. Sorry for the long drawn out story but all of you who are seeking to know more about Internet stores or online marketing PLEASE ask your kids or grandkids I’m sure they would love to help you and it will probably cost you 1/100 of the price.
I would like to know if there is a class action lawsuit going against this company in Florida.

Keith, I am also in Florida & wanted to know if you have gotten anywhere with a refund. I’ve just started this venture & wondered if you could let me know what to expect.
Thanks for your time,
Tami

Couldn’t agree more. We went to one of their seminars Friday night, didn’t buy anything because it was obviously a scam. I’ve never seen such high pressure selling in my life. I was two seconds away from punching out their sales guy-couldn’t believe how he was berating my wife for not buying. They definately prey on the weak. Unfortunately with our current economy many desperate people will believe their sales pitch and throw away money they can ill afford to lose.

I am so glad my boyfriend pushed me to research the STORESONLINE SITE. I was really looking forward to this workshop on Dec. 2, 2009, here in Boca Raton Florida. Really is there anything out there today that isn’t a SCAM. I am really getting discouraged about doing business on my own anymore. I have always considered myself very savey when it comes to business and now I will for certain, check everything out, before I go into my wallet! If you have to sign or pay anything, before yo walk out the door RUN…………… Thank you all for your comments and good luck.

Storeonline is full of bull. I attended a workshop in Omaha,NE..Run for the hills Promise a MP3 Player for attending…Completed the online and entered the redemption code on October 14, 2009 here it is December 9, 2009 and still no MP3 Player…What a surprise? Don’t attend any of their work shops all they want to do is take your money…I was smart not to pay anything…Why pay for something you can do on your own…Run for the hills…Thank you for letting me leave my comments about Storeonline…

I am currently in the process of getting my refund taken care of by Mari. I was told on 1/14 that I would get a form by 1/18 to get my refund. Her assistant did not send it, which I understand. I think they were out of the office on 1/18 for MLK Jr. day. I am hoping to handle this soon as I have the state attorney general processing a complaint and if I can end it before they assign an agent to it, it will be much less of a headache, ugh.

been to several of their workshops. info is always behind the times but useful for learning a few things. Way overpriced and overstated when you get down to the real earning potential. like most things only a few are successful. Don’t let the hype drive you, use what you can and don’t spend more than $100. What they really offer you at the end can be done at a fraction of the price – take what you learn and due your research from there. Chances are in the high 90’s you will not recover the investment you have to make at their workshop but the info can be useful for your research.

Thank you for your information. Attended free seminar and
paid my $58.00 fee for workshop on Feb.27th. I intended to be a sponge, learn and research on my own. I had no intention on spending the money. It bothers me to see this website because I thought they seemed sincere. They did let us know for those needing additional help it will cost more and classes will be offered at workshop. Cost was given after indepth guestioning. He also advised us that at the workshop they will try to sell us additional package…we can choose to go for information and knowledge. Which I feel we planned to and will do it on Saturday Feb. 27th. I will close my ears to the pressured sales tactics. Thank you for sharing….Attendee’s Beware!! Free Lunch!!

I am posting here in order to avoid the million-long list on the main page. I hope that’s okay.
I got the tickets to the lunch conference in the mail, and got so excited to go. I signed up myself and my girlfriend, and when the date came we got dressed and went to the event. (We live in Michigan) She bought the express package for $58 and we got the packet. So excited about starting our new business, we went right to researching products to sell and setting up the layout for our website. It’s past the three days for refund, which is concerning. After reviewing this website, we proceeded to contact StoresOnline through their live chat service. We actually -did- get through to someone, whom we asked for the information on our account, [because even after a week there had not been a transaction statement from them on her credit account] and he told us that the only information that he had on the account was the name and address (the address didn’t even state the number or street name, only the city, state, and zip). I am concerned with the lack of information, and I’m wondering if anyone here my have had a similar experience, or would know possibly why this is occuring? I have the chat recorded, which I will possibly post if there is a sufficient reply to this one. Thanks…

Hi Jeremy,
The concept of SOL is good, the problem is they do not follow thorough to help get your site up and running. It drags on and on and before you know it an entire year has gone by and they shut you out of the back door of your site and not longer provide any assistance, on line or phone unless you pay $29.95 per month. Period!
Do more research and find a reputable company to publish your site. It is doable and for much less than SOL. What ever you do, do not purchase anything else. The next thing is for you to go to another seminar where they will hit you up for $7000 for the Pro Program for an unlimited number of websites. All baloney.
There are numerous lawsuits and class action lawsuits in numerous states and other countries. Be glad you blew $58.00. Most of us would be happy if that’s all we lost!
Do your homework before you spend one more cent!
Good Luck.

Alan, thank you very much for your time in response to my distress. We weren’t planning on persuing [Shit Outta Luck] SOL, but thank you for your concern. However, if we do not pay them the monthly fee, can that affect our credit? Mine’s blown, but hers is still good. I mean, technically she signed a contract, right? so can they persue her in claims or court? -.-

Jeremy.there is an opportunity that you could collect a full refund from your investment with S.O.L.Contact me.Monte at 4806494251 for facts or asst.

Hi Jeremy, I know it will be difficult but she should keep up her payments, in your case it’s up to you, however, you both should file separate claims with the info on this site with Utah and in your state. You are filing a claim for a refund. If you get it, you eventually will get your money back (God Willing) and the contract will be null and void.
Hope this helps. The more people file the claims and get their state attorney’s involved and aware of this fraud the better we all will be. Good Luck!

Jeremy, another thought, if you are talking about the $29.95 for the hosting fee, you can stop that and they will pull your site from publishing. You would then have to go somewhere else to publish your site or do it yourself.
If you are talking about monthly loan payments, then she should continue to make them to protect her credit until she is successful with her claim. On yours, if your credit is already bad, it won’t matter much to default and pursue your claim. That is a personal decision. Good Luck.

Hi – just attended marketing workshop in Burlington VT have 3 days to rescind and it sounds like I should. I wish I had researched this sooner. Definitely was pulled in by the promise of independent wealth after several layoffs and no luck finding work. Hope I can get it all back without much fallout later.

Going through the same SOL stuff as thousands of others.Not a nice feeling to feel suckered. One thing that I have not seen mentioned and a lawyer could probably address is in regards to everyone who is making payments to companies like Travellers. Since I have been dealing with this it occured to me that the finance companies are well aware of the (fraudulant ?) actions of SOL and the numerous complaints and charges against them, would what the finance companies are doing constitute money laundering or something similar? I am not sure what constitutes money laundering but it should be looked into.

Kirk Burleson here,
I too purchased a similar product called “INTOSTORES.COM” (SAME OUTFIT) diffrent name. The price to start this program was offered at $175.00 plus $29.00 per month. They claimed that they had stores interested in my SMC products and I would increase my sales. Was with them for four months — never ever seen one sale. No stores, just out all my money. They did not ever provice me with a contact list of the stores (this was because there weren’t any in the first place. I called the companies support number and got a recording. I sent emails and got no answers. I finally had my attorney send them a letter with threats of a law suit and got a response that my refund of four months of $29.00 plus the original $175.00 will be refunded to my credit card. The problem with this is i used a debt card and had to have my account number changed in order to keep this company from charging me an additional $29.00 each month even though I had ask them to stop. I told the person in the email that I wanted my refund in the form of a check mailed to my address. A few months went by and no check. I had my attorney send this company a email this time. I also put up my own blog on this company. Not one blog but four or five blogs. A big warnning on my blogs about this program. Intostores.com did not like this and sent me a refund for the amount of $291.00 within one week. I also made a complaint with the BBB who told me that they have had numourus complaints about this product and are conducting an investigation. This company has changed thier names at least three times. Do fall for this scam. I was lucky to keep a attorney on hand at all times from pre paid legal and all it cost me is $16.00 per month other wise I never would have got my refund. Not all people can afford an attorney.

Help! I am trying to cancel my $58 scam…I just attended the dinner event tonight and signed up, but realized I want to get out of this. Does anyone know who I can contact directly to cancel my membership because I know I need to cancel within the “3″ day period and I can’t get ahold of anyone, thanks!

My friend and I attended two of their events here in LA. Basically, they’re good for a free lunch, and that’s it. Most of the people there looked like they were old maids and hungry middle-aged Mexicans. Really sad. Then the high-pressure salesmen pitch this service of theirs and try to make you believe that you are stupid if you don’t buy it. They charge you a fortune and guarantee nothing. Once they have your money, you will never get it back. The money you pay goes towards the trainers’ and CEO’s salaries and the cost of doing more seminars so they can scam more people and take their money too. They don’t give a ***k if you succeed at “your own personal onilne business” or not. If you don’t have a sellable product or service you can offer, it’s 100% pointless. The StoresOnline staff who attend are rude as hell and will come around and see if you’ve finished filling out the purchase form while you’re chowing down on the free grub, and if you’re not done filling it out, they’ll hover over you and make sure you do. They have 2 guys at the table near the exit door so if you try to get out without signing up, they’ll try to nab you before you get away. Oh yeah, forget about the free MP3 player, you’ll never get it. IF YOU GET AN INVITATION TO STORESONLINE IN THE MAIL, THROW IT AWAY!
