Hi Guy’s
My story is pretty much the same as yours only I was scammed over the phone. Never went to a seminar. I only bought a book from Anthony Morrison and when they called me that is who I thought I was doing business with. They never told me they were a seperate company. They got me for $8555.00 charged over the phone. There was nothing in that call about storesonline, pmi, nmr, or myebiz. At the end of the call he did tell me that the credit card charge on the bill would be itstraining. I have never seen a letter of discloser or a time frame to opt out. These people are using very fraudulent practices and I am sending them a letter to try getting my money back. By the way is there anyone else in Iowa having trouble with them? I’d sure like to know as when they tell me no return I plan to make as much trouble for them as I can.
Thanks everyone for your input.
Shirley

On May 7th I attended a StoresOnline training in Columbus Ohio with my wife Crystal Richards (who’s name the account is in). Everything I heard in the large group session sounded good for the business my wife and I where starting online. They at once provided us a private consulting time and when asked closer about their product everything from the consultant looked like it would work for our my online business he also verified with manager that I could use my standard shared hosting service that I currently have through my company.

After getting the package home and digging into it I discovered the following lies about the service.

StoresOnline’s website can only work with 2 different website domains unless I pay $29.95 a mont to host the sites with StoresOnline. This was by far the first and biggest lie. I asked my consultant if I would be able to use this product with my standard shared hosting server. He informed me it would work without a problem. The consult informed me that the software would be easy to download from the website and start working right away. I had to speak with a tech agent on the phone and request a CD that provided me the information to install to my website. After receiving the disc in the mail (a standard department store burned CD with no label or documentation). I loaded the disc into my laptop and discovered that the software would not work on a standard shared web hosting server. It requires a hosting server to provide root access which is only given to dedicated or VPS services.

I asked very in depth questions at the session to receive green lights on everything until I got home and discovered nothing would work with my system and without purchasing additional services.

I understood all the questions I asked at the session and I informed the StoresOnline consultant that I worked for a web hosting company and that I was unable to purchase web hosting from them because it was a conflict of intrest to my company. Yet they still are demanding that I purchase their web hosting to use the service in the manner they promised me would work with my current services.

Well, I have certainly been ripped of. I spent the 6K on the pro package, which would have been fine for me with the limited amount of time I have actually spent building my website. However, their backhanded salesmen managed to talk me into spending ANOTHER 16K on marketing, then they want MORE money so their Tax Club people can make sure you have listed your company with all the proper LLC’s and related. I passed on that one thank god. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THESE PEOPLE. You can buy Macromedia and market yourself much cheaper, and if you are business savvy enough you don’t NEED Storesonline, PMI, The Tax Club or My eBiz. Does anyone know where I can find the information for any suits files against Stores Online in the state of Montana?

Becky,
I would like to visit your “built site” what is the web address?
You aren’t getting any traffic to your site because you have not agreed to “buy” more training to learn how to be successful for another $10,000 to $20,000 – Stores On Line will be more helpful.
So instead, you have a site, that you may be making some changes on, but you don’t have much traffic, so you aren’t generating any money. Except they have you paying probably $29.95 per month to host your non profitable site.

That’s why they make so much money. We are idiots who purchase their product and then they don’t build the site or it doesn’t work and then they stop building it if you don’t pay the $29.95, so you are screwed or you have to pay the $29.95 and hope you finally get your site up and running. I refused to publish my site because they just could not get the shipping calculations to work with the weight of the products. I don’t know why, but they couldn’t after two years I refused to put out any more money. They already took $7744.00.

Storesonline targets those people who are retired, out of work, elderly, people who want to start a little online business to make some extra money. Unfortunately, they have no ethics, morals and apparently border on the what is legal or illegal.

I just say good luck to all of you who try to stick it out with that company, but watch your wallets.

That is the problem with Stores On Line.

Domma, you should be glad that you are getting your money back! Some of use didn’t get a chance to cancel because of lack of knowledge of this site. I will say, since my attending the whopping $6,000 class. I have gotten a website built and are waiting on the revisions. I mam very pleased of the website, and as time pass, I will maKe other changes to it myself. I’m waiting to see if my products will sell.

So far, I have had nothing but positive from customer support and from my programmer. He speaks english.

I have only me to blame if I don’t get many hits. I chose a product I believe in.

If you bought the $6,000 site and paying SOL, I’ll say get a niche you beliebe in. I went to nichemonkey to get ideas on possibly to see, I kept thinking of another product, but I stayed with my initial products.

It took me a little time gathering information that I needed, I didn’t want to lose anymore money before I got my site, therefore I didn’t sene all the pictures I wanted. Some business didn’t want to let me sell the items without having a published website, so I will certainly add products afterwards.
