| Franklin Financial Solutions Cash Flow Capital Fraudulently charged $495(CA) to my Visa - misrepresented program and conditions. Jackson, Wyoming |
| 7th of Nov, 2011 by User758840 |
Contacted Nov 1 by Pat Dolan of Financial Solutions advising there was an opening in British Columbia for an Account Manager offering low transaction rate Credit Card programs to merchants. Asserted that the rates were far lower than market and there were no merchant contracts, no conversion fees or hidden charges and they were eligible for advance cash payments based on their volume. He also said the cost to me would be $495 but WOULD NOT BE DEDUCTED until there was a revenue stream and that I should set it aside to pay when revenue was flowing in! I am strapped financially and was terribly stressed out and stupid enough to jump at the opportunity and gave them my credit card information. I received a phone call the same day (which they recorded) and while she did say that I was being charged but Pat Dolan said to set it aside. I then did called their Customer Service number and they said they had no knowledge of the company and that my Agent ID was not in a format they recognized. I sent emails to Dolan and they were returned undeliverable.
I made urgent phone calls including to Pat Dolan who said he would straighten everything else (no response was received) and to the Operations Manager named Hugh Harris (I think that was his last name) who also said they were sending some information to me that would explain it. I have not received any information via email/mail identifying the program, contract, agreement, or any information which can be supportive legally of any commitment. They have one phone call made under stressful conditions and obscured by the preceding false and misleading information. I have just hung up from HUGH the Operations Manager who said in effect - tough luck, we have your money and you can complain to whomever you want. I demanded that they credit me my $495 (Cdn) and they have laughed in my face.
I am a senior citizen who is striving to make ends meet and was pressured into a false, misleading and fraudulent agreement. Help! Company called Franklin Finance Solutions aka Cash Flow Capital of Arizona, USA .

I know exactly what you're going through... I got scammed by FFS too. Instead of offering a management job, i was to get my own home-based business. Once i gave them my card, i was told i would have a "coach" that would help me every step of the way on making money. That "coach" pressured me into letting her charge $7500 for some "marketing campaign" that was never mentioned in the initial set up.
Have you contacted your credit card company about FFS? If not, do so immediately! Let them know that FFS is a scam and you want the charge(s) reversed. When you've done that look up your state's Attorney General (type in your state and Attorney General or you'll get other states in the search and will be looking for a while for yours). Call them up and tell them you want to report a scam. They will tell you what to do next. Next, Notify the Better Business Beureau. They will ask for your name and address so they can send you a complaint for to fill out and return to them. Next, if the BBB doesn't mention this, go to the IC3.gov site (Internet Crime Complaint Center) and fill out their form.
If FFS listed any businesses they are afilitated with, look them up and ask if that business has ever heard of FFS. Chances are they will never have heard of them. Print out ALL emails and forms that you've sent and gotten from them! Chances are that your credit card company will want you to send them a letter, explaining your situation to determine whether or not they're frauds.
The faster you do this the better. Again, i know what you're going through. I'm having to jump through more hoops just to get out of the mess i'm in and it's been an emotional hell. I hope that we both can have the charges reversed and put an end to the nightmare of this scam. Best of luck to you! |

If you haven't done so yet, report this to your local police department. It will go on permanent record and if enough people report this, the FBI will be called in to investigate.
Also, call one of the 3 Credit Report businesses (TransUnion, Equifax, Experian) and tell them you want red flags put on your reports. Red flags wll be put on all 3 of them in 24 hours and last for 3 months. Check and see when the last time activity was done on your reports while talking to a real person too.
If FFS won't credit your money back, talk to someone from the credit card company from the card you used and dispute it. If they won't refund your money you may have to hire a Civil Rights lawyer and have him/her write a letter to your credit card company to try to get them to refund the money (credit dispute).. I know it's a lot to do. This is what i've had to do and now i'm playing the waiting game to see how things play out... |

| Yes, I am a Senior Citizen who also was scammed by them. The great saleman said he would sell this to his mother and of course he lied. I said it was probably a scam and he said, OH NO, this is the greatest company ever, etc. etc. Said this was an easy way to make money without direct selling or anything and I asked for more information but he said I would get that after I paid the 499.50 and a monthly charge of 24.99. And could cancel easily at any time. After I thought about this I tried to call back to cancel many times and left messages. No one ever called me back so I called Discover to start a protest on that charge. They waited the 59 day to answer them and then sent a copy of an invoice saying this must be cancelled in writing only by email or fax and said they had my recorded message to agree to this - of course - they cut out all the stuff, they promised but only took my yes. So Discover had to charge back on my acct. and said they could do nothing, sorry. The address someone else gave above in WY and several tele. #'s were given me and also by Discover. When I called the 888 # again last night I found this was being answered by 3 people in the Phillipines and now they have moved to Surprise, AZ -- yes, some SURPRISE. This is a Scam for sure. I need to do a cert. letter and fax yet to try to get the 24.99 mo. charge off -- I got nothing but a small package of adv. saying somethng about finding cheap motels, etc. and welcome to our great company etc. OH YES, they say I signed for the CONTRACT. They got my signature as they made me sign for a FED EX PACKAGE with that junk inside. That's how they get your signature and you are stuck. I am reporting to Better Bus. Bureau but I'm sure as usual they don't do anything but record it as everyone else does. Wouldlove to see the FBI investigate to get the money back. for everyone. |

| I was scammed by Franklin Financial Solutions for close to $27, 000. There were other companies that were involved as well, like Pinnacle Marketing and Web Media Dynasty. I hired a lawyer and I lost. Finally, I was told about a company called CR Consumer Resources. They help people like us who have been ripped off by these horrible people. I was amazed that they were able to help me recover all of the money that I had been scammed out of. I have to recommend them to you if you need help getting your money back. Filing complaints or hiring attorneys didn't help me at all but they did. Call them if you need help. I am so happy that I did. I have to pinch myself when I wake up every morning b/c I still cant believe it. . 1 888.563.5558 http://www.crconsumerresources.com/Home.html |
