| Prosper, Inc. Prospering.com Misrepresentation, No refund Provo, Utah |
| 13th of Jul, 2011 by User871279 |
Prosper, Inc. has 296 complaints filed against them since they were rated by the BBB in 2009. That alone should be a red flag. And, although they say the majority of these have been resolved, the mere fact that they complained at all should be considered. The BBB formula for resolving complaints is hazy at best. It appears that all Prosper, Inc. has to say is that they negotiated in good faith and walla "resolved." It is my opinion that they misrepresent themselves, misrepresent the justification for using your credit card to pay for the program, misrepresent the value of their services. I signed up for an affiliate program Six Figure Program. Within a day, I get a call from Prosper. I told them I had already signed up for a program with Six Figure Program and they said they knew and they were a coaching service to enhance the Six Figure Program. They represented themselves as a business extension of Six Figure Program. Fast talking salesman and you have to make a decision right now and their promises that if I use my credit card I can pay the amount off within a couple of months led me to join this business. I had the orientation phone call and two coaching phone calls, each less than 30 minutes. That is the total personal coaching given to me for my $2,800.00. I called them and told them I was not satisfied with their services. That they did not give me anything that I could not get for free and I felt they misrepresented themselves as being
linked to Six Figure Program. I asked for a full refund and they said flatly NO. I then asked for a cancellation of the Financing (2,000 + 200 interest) and they could keep the charge to my credit card ($600). Ryan said he would have to go to his manager and ask if they will allow him to do this. I am still awaiting a response to that. I told them that two less than 30 minute coaching sessions in which I was coached on nothing -- just given a list of websites to sign up with (all costing additional money) was not worth the amount of money they wanted me to pay. I did get them to admit that had I paid more I would have gotten more coaching. So from that I deduct that the cost of one less than 30 minute coaching session is $1,400.00. Pretty high if you ask me. I am a 72 year old female on social security trying to enhance my financial position and not live from social security check to social security check. I believe this and companies like this target the older community as they are the most vulnerable. |

| i have the same situation, james salazar introduce himself as an extemsion of six figure. he told me that $1, 000 to $2, 000 a month is easy to achieve. he told me about ten hours a week coaching and a fee of $600.00 for one year. i said i can't afford it so he made it $50.00 a month which really look affordable, but i cannot sancel for one year. since then i am recieving emails instructions and websites where i can go and download some audios and videos where i have to learn the technique, applications and a lot of BS. they call me but different numbers, so i don't answer they just leave a voice mail telling me to call them back but it's another company like success network or other company. i called them but the answering machine told me they can respond within three working days. we, the victims should bring this matter to consumer protection. i''ll notify my bank to stop the payment. |
