Recently I join this Fortune learning system I started with confidence but as days goes by my instinct told me to look it up I was really shock & sick to my stomach
What I found out. I don't know what to do I just want my money back. I am unemployed right now that's why I am looking for something that I can do at home since I can' go back to my old job due to my illness I am not mentally disable but with physical limitations. I am not from U.S. I just want to know how to proceed with my complaints so I can get my money back.

I too, was hopeful and got scammed by FLS, WholesaleMatch and Business Development Division. I hooked up with a company BCA Recovery to help me recoup the charges from my credit card company. You have up to 18 months to dispute with your credit card. The sooner the better. They charge 50% but I rather them get half my money than these culprits. So far, the charges are going back and forth because FLS and BDD are sending back reports to my credit card companies. BCA is on top of putting the accounts back on hold and reversing the charges. I am hopeful that FLS and BDD will never win. They are fighting back even thou they know what scum suckers they are. This has hurt me hard and may even devastate my situation.

My question is if there is a current investigation of these companies. Can I get added to the complaints against these companies now? So if they lose, I can seek restitution?

My experiences with Fortune learning systems mirror those who have spoken before me. I was online and spent $40 for a system on how to be an auction specialist and I am phoned by FLS within 1 hour. Another phone call after my wife came home to see if I was qualified. "Full financial disclosure", which I now think was designed to figure out how much to ask from me. They did give me 3 options as my initial investment and I chose the middle level of $7505. Man I wish I had looked them up here that day before I invested. I had a liaison call nd tell me who would be calling my (for more money of course). They wanted $2200 to build my website. I went on vacation the next week and had a doctor's appointment then next week, so I asked to have my coaching calls (2 in 4 weeks) moved from Monday to another day. I have not heard from my coach since that day (2 and a half weeks now). And this week, my 3 emails to him have been bouced back, the "other" addresses go through, but there has been no answer. The site for the learning system has been down all week and the phone number is still active, but all I get is a message that I am important to them and my concerns will be cared for. The option to get an extension is no longer active and I can't even leave a message.

I've started my own research and found plenty of sites offering the same information at a MUCH LOWER cost...$200 plus $40 per month. At that rate, I could go for 182 months before I had paid the $7505 that I gave FLS. After this I intend to ask Discover to return the charge and see how that goes.

After signing up for the auction employment agency, to help supplement my retirement income I got a call from a salesman who I at first thought was with this agency. The salesman asked me why I thought they should work with me, I

Quess it a way to get you fired up, before dropping the hammer. After being told that I was the type of person they were looking for, then came the sale pitch for fortunelearning systems, I told them I had been invovled with a similar company some years before that did nothing for me, to which they replied that they were totally different and were there to help me. The next morning I sent an e-mail saying I wanted to cancel, then called and was assured I was doing the right thing by working with them. After being contacted by other members of this company and their affiliates trying to get more money, I got 6 or 7 coaching sessions, and then told by my coach whom I will say was very knowledgeable, that I could go into the builder and build my website on my own. In conclusion it cost me 4 grand I didn't have to get coach once a wekk for 6 or 7 weeks. Time for someone to put a stop to these and other predators like them who take money from honest people who are only trying to figure out how to survive in today's economy.

Thank's for listening

John

P. S If anyone knows where to get help in these matters please let me know

As i have a growing family and a husband who works away a lot i was searching the net for ways of earning income at home as this would make the pressure of family life easier. A few days later I recieved a phone call from Fortune Learning Systems who convinced me they were the answer to my problems, and it wouldnt cost me a penny. They told me i was just the sort of person they were looking for-teachable and motivated. Only after i had agreed to the coaching programme they sent me an invoice for $4730! I had my first coaching session with my personal coach who explained how to sell on ebay. I told him i had used ebay frequently but he told me he could show me how to use it more effectively. Then i got a phone call from my business advisor who explained i would have to set up the business legally using their plan. This would cost me $3785. I told him i had already made my one off payment but was told that was just for the coaching this was to register the company. I was made to feel i would be trading illegaly if i didnt so i agreed.My coaching sessions continued but didnt seem to progress very far. The website templates never materialised, nor did the online seminars or the marketing strategies, and their website is a waste of time. All ive been told is basic information i could have got for free and i havent gained any of the tools needed to set up and run an e-business. This company is a scam and a complete rip off. Dont use them.
