This is a major scam. Their policies and procedures are unethical and truly a rip-off. Buyers and investors beware. They claim to be saving people's debt situation or circumstance. However, it's how they pursue
to obtain the money and use it. Basically, they try to get you to pay out $20, 000 to $50, 000 into this business. Then they use your money to negotiate with the creditors and the debtors with the money as a "shell-game". They also are using the " Better Business On-line Certification" as an endorsement of good business practice. This endorsement is not valid. This organization takes $275.00 upfront and does not tell you that it's non-refundable or sign a document upfront prior to getting the money. A major class action suit should be pursued. My suspicion is that this organization is ripping-off millions and millions of people three ways: 1) debtors, 2) investors, 3) creditors. Stay away from this organization "Global Fortune Network" !

I also bought a lead package & had absolutely nothing to show for it except my missing investment! fortunately I was able to get most of my money back! Who ever says they made money with this company obviously doesn't know they are out of business & doing jail time. kjbr07@gmail.com Email me if you want to try to get your money back as well!

I am amazed at the fact like myself so many people have been scammed by this company... I was so embarrassed because I consider myself a good decision maker. The sales pitch was great & I took the bait hook line & sinker. Fortunately for me I was able to get most of my $$ back! I would be happy to share w/ others email me kjbr07@gmail.com

I tried to get my money back, but because I used a courtesy check from my bank credit card, they denied the claim. Criminal charges are being filed with Maricopa County AZ. Does anyone know where we can get more details about this?

I GOT MY MONEY BACK! I also signed on which cost me roughly $8, 500 and was told that this was the only money I would have to pay. After doing some research 3 months into the supposed program I came across these complaints. I got in contact with my lawyer who referred me to a company who got me my money back within about 2 months after them taking my case. The company did NOT charge me any upfront fees and did what they promised “FIAD Services” out of Pompano Beach FL their website is “fiadcs.com” the guy I worked with was Luke Daniels email “ldaniels@fiadservices.com” or phone [protected] ext. 222 all in all they were great gentleman/company to work with he was sometimes hard to get a hold of but he did what he promised nice to know there are still some honest people out there. They also added me to a list they are putting together to file a class action lawsuit against these thieves. THANK YOU! -Terri & George H

I too was pressured into using GFN as a way to increase my income - not only did a salesman (Cole) state we shared the same faith and principles but he personally guaranteed the 125% return within 2 months! A friend made out like many, she invested over $20, 000 and DID receive checks for a while (spring/summer of 2011) - now she receives nothing and her contact #'s are either no longer in service or just ring and ring (just like myself). I invested over $25, 000 (along with Web Media and ADM Ventures and Precision Data Corp - all of these companies told me point blank they were the blogger, web designers, and tax pros; also each contact explained they were my business development managers; NOT. Once these scammers had my money; couldn't contact anyone! My credit cards are maxed and while my Visa and MasterCard customer service departments are trying to help; they also can't contact anyone. GFN used Apollo and Sea-hawk (?) for the money xfer' these 2 and the main culprits continue to charge my credit cards and the phone numbers associated with their bill is not valid! I AM disabled, I am the victim of divorce fraud and my ex hiding income/cash, so I am a bit panicked! It's not right these companies trade on your faith, life situations, physical problems by stating I won't have to worry about money anymore and I would own my rent home by this March with the money return on my investments. Now I barely get by due to paying off credit cards! I am personally looking into a lawsuit (not a class action) in order to receive my investments back but also to compensate me for the extreme stress this causes which in turn aggravates my rare genetic disorder! I'm sick of worrying how I can pay for my prescriptions due to these companies withdrawing funds I did NOT approve! My cards are literally maxed - before Cole Jennings calls I was paying down cards (also a divorce problem - had to pay for my son's college even though these fund were mine and granted to me by my son's father, his step-father closed the acct!). I know many others are hurting from GFN and company! Maybe with enough complaints we will get the FBI/AZ state patrol or DA's office to engage!

The same thing happened to me but I lost close to $20, 000. I used a company called CR Consumer Resources and they helped me get my money back that was charged to my credit cards. If you need help and want to get your money back, I suggest you call them. They're real nice people and work hard to help you. The website is www.crconsumerresources.com. Their number is [protected] I got all my money back thanks to Jay Rosen, the owner and his staff. Very trustworthy and nice people. I'm so glad this nightmare is over!

I was taken by this group and their associates for $8000. I'm so embarrassed that I was taken because I felt that I had always been a skeptic and cautious, but I fell for their very well done scam hook line and sinker. I would love to see justice for all (and my money back) but since this all happened in June 2011. I feel it's a lost cause. It's just depressing and sickening that these ### can get away with this and ruin peoples lives.

CR CONSUMER RESOURCES IS A SCAM! Research them on the net. They've been scamming people for years! They charge you an upfront fee and promise they will win your case but two months later the credit card company charged the money back to my card. Turns out they just disputed the charges on my account as fraud and never provided anything. They got their money and now they are GONE! WHAT A SCAM! DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING! They will get you a temp credit but its not impermanent until the credit card company researches the charge which they original scam company is sure to respond. NOW I have been scammed twice! This is ridiculous! PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! They post comments everywhere as a scammed victim who used crconsumerresources llc and got there money back with there services. SCAM! They post all there comments as Ccook1963
