Refusal to Refund
Hello Mr. Morrisette -
I am sorry to hear about your friend. These companies do not discriminate against old, young, unemployed - they have no conscience and don't care who they rip off!! As far as putting these thieves out of business, I really don't know why it hasn't happened but slowly but surely the FTC seems to be getting a lot of these scam companies.
I am familiar with this Tally guy. Please contact me via e-mail or phone and I am sure that we can help your friend. We do not charge anything until your friend gets a refund!! We help people get their money back and it is a great feeling to see justice done!
Regards,
Mary

Refusal to Refund
Since I originally wrote my complaint, I have been compliant and followed the recommended Better Business Bureau process. This led to an arbitration process that was 100% favorable to PMI. I firmly disagreed with the hurried, BBB-backed decision, and have informed the Attorney General of Utah, whose office in investigating my case. I have not heard any positive feedback yet; perhaps justice will be served, and senior citizens who are targeted as "sucker-consumers" by marketing companies, such as PMI, will be offered some type of protection and respite from being ripped off as I was.

I'm still having nightmares about the $10, 000 I'm having to pay back on my credit card because of PMI. One thing you have to applaud PMI about, they have the number one scammers and liars on the internet!

Refusal to Refund
In August of 2010 I signed on with Professional Marketing International (PMI) of Lehi, Utah. I was assured that within a few months I would see some viable income from a venture into the world of selling quality wine racks on the Internet. I studied the lessons they supplied, and worked hard at accomplishing everything I was advised to do. As time went on and there were no sales and thus no money coming in, I had to obtain a part time job just so I could pay essential bills and keep on top of credit card payments associated with the purchase of PMI learning materials. I fell farther and farther behind in my payments, though, as I struggled to at least make minimum payments on my debts that resulted from this association with PMI. The amount totaled nearly $15, 000.
PMI, through an advisory coach named Jordan Foutz, was very much aware of my financial situation, and my availability. I dedicated every Thursday to working on the website business, since that was the only work day I was able to do so. Yet, the coach insisted on calling me for our telephone conferences six times on Fridays, out of a total of 11 times, with no rescheduling considered at all due to my working situation. Instead, PMI records show that I was a “no show” for these missed sessions.
Wouldn’t you think, upon reviewing a list of these conferences and seeing that all of the six “no shows” were on Fridays, something was odd? Why were no attempts made by PMI to reschedule these at a time that I was available, instead of simply blowing them off? They were promised as a part of the original package. By the way, until quite recently, I was totally unaware that I was “cheated” out of these six sessions. I find that itself unbelievable.
The company never made any offer to change me to another coach until I had filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau of Utah on 4/25/2011. Initially, PMI offered me a $2, 000 “rebate for business expenses.” Yet, they had the audacity to tell the BBB that I had received the “rebate” and “agreed to continue working with one of our top consultants.” I have NOT received a $2000 rebate, and I never agreed to continue working with this company. As a matter of fact, there was no follow-up or checking in with me to see why my site was not functioning, nor any contact from PMI, until I filed the complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
I did receive a form authorizing the monetary “rebate” a few days after their “offer.” However, I read it very carefully, and then faxed the required paperwork to PMI, attached with a noted amendment that I had written. I signed the amendment in place of the original standard form from them, the reason being that I refuse to sign any document which states that the entire situation is resolved by my signature, and that I no longer hold PMI responsible for any further action or financial reimbursement on their part.
I trusted PMI to do a credible job, since they were recommended by a business associate of mine, Dan Vega of the Blue Star Business Institute of Springfield, MO. I never expected to be flat broke to the tune of over $15, 000 because of the trust I had placed in PMI. All I have to show for my efforts is an extremely undesirable and damaging financial crisis. Our office received the attached letter from you which indicates that you are not satisfied with the decision rendered by the arbitrator in your case, Jason Burger. While we understand your frustration, please understand that the decision is final.
After seeking resolution through the Better Business Bureau of Utah, all avenues were exhausted since PMI never was really ever interested in settling with me for a full refund. An arbitrator was assigned to the case in November 2011. I was totally stunned when his decision was the same as what PMI originally offered me. I notified the BBB of Utah that I would not comply with that decision. The letter follows:
Regarding the Arbitration Decision of Jason Burger in my ongoing dispute with Professional Marketing International, in the many pages of documentation that I had submitted, I believe that I had made it very clear that it is impossible for me to work with PMI for a period of six more months. In these uncertain economic times, I do not possess the finances necessary to even pay for an extension of all the services and fees related to the maintenance of the website.
All the study materials can be easily returned to PMI. I have no problem with that. The problem is money: I have none left because I put everything I had into this ill-fated investment. Therefore, I will pursue this dispute as long as I must, since there are other avenues that can be used. The reasons listed by the arbitrator in his Decision show a poor understanding or a misunderstanding of the many pages of testimony I submitted. For example, PMI knew that my site was providing no financial income for me and that I had to get some type of gainful employment before I lost my home. They knew my concerns up-front. I was always totally honest with them. Unfortunately, they were not honest with me. They made no allowances whatever for rescheduling sessions that I could not possibly attend. PMI makes it sound like I “cut” the sessions, on purpose. That is ludicrous.
How could I be available for prearranged sessions when I was working another job because I had to generate some type of income? Thus, I HAD to be “simultaneously involved in a variety of business ventures as well as writing a book.” I still had sufficient time to “devote to the development of this business venture, ” attested by the fact that I researched and wrote many articles to promote the site, as well as studied materials on the days I did not work on my other “business ventures.”
“If there are less time constraints on Mr. Cortese now, I recommend he take advantage of the ruling.” What if there are more time constraints now? The Arbitration Decision merely repeats the “offer” made by PMI of $2, 000 refund IF I agree to continue via their mentoring hotline for a period of six months. The Decision makes no allowance for any other alternative. That is totally unacceptable. Please notify PMI that I will no longer “take advantage of this opportunity, ” since it is not an opportunity; rather, it is an impossibility.
I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY PMI, AND KNOW THAT I AM ENTITLED TO A FULL REFUND FOR THEIR MISREPRESENTATION AND NONDELIVERANCE OF CONTRACTED SERVICES. PLEASE HELP.

Refusal to Refund
PMI has NEVER refunded me any money, much less $2, 000, as claimed by Marque “Q” Trosper, Vice President, Customer Relations. That is a blatant lie. This matter has NOT been resolved legally, or otherwise.
Spencer Heward, Investigator with the Utah State Department of Commerce, Department of Consumer Protection, says PMI is not in violation of any consumer laws in Utah. Perhaps ethics and morals do not matter in Utah.
How this company has managed to hoodwink me and many, many others demonstrates how well it has mastered the art of deceit. The company employs pathological liars disguised as mentors who pounce upon and take advantage of good people.
Judging by the number of people who have filed complaints against this company and its affiliates, I am not alone. I cannot be dismissed as just an “occasional dissatisfied client, ” as Trosper labels me in his written response to Heward’s investigation. That is not the proper term for my complaint.
Mr. Trosper, write the truth. I could not complete the tutorials because you denied me access to the lessons. You locked me out of my own educational material on your PMI Education Center.
In addition, you never afforded me the opportunity to make-up sessions I missed when Mentor Jordan Foutz was fully aware of why I was unavailable at the times he insisted he call me. Despite that fact, I still completed 87% of the lessons and assignments, BUT have never received one red cent from selling products on my site, following the PMI formula for success. What a farce!
Mr. Marque “Q” Trosper, I was NEVER refunded $2, 000 on 12/13/11. Where is your proof of that claim? All that has ever happened since the woeful day you first conned me into maxing out my good wife’s Wells Fargo credit card is you and PMI have taken and run with the money. Period.
How can you or the BBB, or any arbitrator, or any so-called Consumer Protection Division call yourself truthful, or honest? You, Mr. “Q, ” have never spoken with me or communicated with me directly. Had you ever done so, instead of insulating and surrounding with your employees who told you their version of my complaint, this matter would be resolved quite some time ago. It is I who have sought resolution, not you and PMI. That says it all!
