Default Money back guarantee - won't refund my money

Hi All

I'm a sucker.. I admit it...

I signed up with EDITED... Had sooo many problems, got offered a money back guarantee, which they now deny.
They have my software, I have nothing, and had to re-finance the house in order to clear the credit cards to make life a little easier.
Threatened them with legal action, to which they basically said 'Bring it on'
They changed numbers without telling me, got prank noises on the phone when called them, and never get replies.
All they do is lie, and when I do finally get hold of them, the person in charge is 'out of the office', or 'overseas' so they can get their case ready.

I really need help if anyone can offer any assistance.

And if approached, my 2 cents worth would be that I would never sign up with them if I could go back in time.

Thanks.

Unhappy

Can I ask how much renzo? sounds like an arm and most of a leg. Im sorry for your loss, unfortunately these types of businesses just cant be trusted. Better off going with your own selections. You migthnt win but at least it wont cost you what you lost with these scammers.

Smile renzo75

Hey renz,
I can't help, sorry. Just wanted to say this forum must be full of poor sods like you (and me) that have been shafted by ******** like them. Starting from NOW!!!!..... remember you can't buy a magic system. If such a system exists it simply would not be for sale at any price.
The good news if you can tough it out long enough , is that there are ways to make a steady income from this game, but it takes dip sticks like myself a year or two to see through the haze.
My opinion of how hard this is requires you to pass a simple test. For the first year of betting only use $1 bets. This will safely test your systems and supply you with enough data to bet mega. You may think I'm on a prescribed drug but it is my honest opinion .
Fire away guys!

Default Hiyas

It was a 'discount' price of $5000... may not sound like heaps, but considering I'm paying for my fiance and I's wedding (no points for grammar huh hehe), it's a fair chunk.
All I can do is leave things, and learn from my mistakes.
They did everything from no phone calls being returned, to delaying it by 'the directors are overseas', EVEN though they JUST sent me a fax a while back (called them right back)
I've asked for a copy of the contract I signed, which they can't seem to find as I don't think I signed one, and their lawyer isn't much help either, but the lawyer I spoke to said it wasn't worth the money at the moment, as they usually cover themselves pretty good.
Thanks for all your comments anyway, and take heed.. LEARN hehe

Hi renzo - sorry to hear about your troubles.

Best thing for you to do is report them to your state business/consumer affairs dept and ASIC if they have registered as a business to see if they can help. Maybe - maybe not but at least they will be aware of these people if not already.

Been there,
I know it's not right and smudges the whole industry.
Idealy, if any current affairs show can do another stint and use the power of the media, get as many as possible for a class action court case.( I think that's the terminology) and make it a point this time so it goes down in history, one to be remembered.
Hound them and hound to the ends of this planet and out of existance.
I am sure there are many student journalists who would have a field day at this if it could.
Or, how about asking "Big Brother" if they can do what they do now ( and it's soo boring anyway) and get on to these sharks.
Penalty should not only be a refund of money taken,but also make them distribute their software for free with source codes,compilers, the whole lot.
Kick their butts to oblivion and beyond

Just re-itereating I reckon you should also complain to the publication where you saw this thing advertised, as the more complaints they receive MAYBE they will do something about it,.......maybe.....

"yes it is... you 'follow the smart money' where others are betting, it's between $5000, and $10k exactly (well $5k if someone has gotten a refund like they said)."

They were renting the office in ......got kicked out...EDITED

Default That's them :-)

re: BACO

Yup, that's them...
****EDITED***** was one of the directors, as well as the dumb receptionist...

Don't know how that info will help me, if at all, but am pleased to know they got kicked out due rent unpaid...:-) x 100

Wonder how they can continue to operate then...

Anyone seen any ads in the local paper advertising from them? They just gave me a call out of the blue - don't know where they got my number from.

Thanks for that info.
