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 ahead of creditors. I fell farther and farther behind, though, as I struggled to at least make minimum payments on my debts that resulted from this association with PMI.
The company, through an advisory coach or consultant, 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!”
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 expense.” 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. Let the consumer beware, and always read the fine print before signing anything. Or so I was taught.
Allow me to share with you that I am a scholar, researcher, a voracious reader, a published author, and an experienced educator with two Masters Degrees and two Doctorates. I trusted PMI to do a credible job, since they were recommended by a business associate of mine. 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.

This company engauges in fraud on a daily basis. DO NOT buy anything from Dean Graziosi or his other company called PMI and Tax Club. I lost more than $7, 000 bucks from these jokers. Dean Graziosi is under review from AZ Attorney General for Fraud. In addition, Dean is being charged for raping a minor in AZ. The guy is a crazy person!!! DO NOT BUY anything from these people. Just a warning. :( Bad news

Google Better Business Bureau - Tax Club has an F rating! Do your homework

Good afternoon!

I hope that this e-m reach you in good healt and spirits, But i have upsetting news, and I am very dissapointed your 3rd party pmi company,

Mr. Morrision I am not sure if you will get this e-mail personally, but I would like to let you know what I have endured today with your 3rd party company PMI 1800-860-8068 rep named Ben Petersen called to see if I would like to participate in your program he asked all the question and collected the in he need than for ward me to his Supervisor Mitch Reve, to finish the process, well You have a big problem on your hands and he make your company look very bad, he was very nasty, arrogant and ignorant, He discriminated against me and he Antagonize me. I hung up he called my home 5 times, the first 3 time I did not answer my phone I hung it up again my phone ringed more than 10 to 15 time, I finally answer the call again that stupid jerk told me i lack integrity and a bunch of BullS. I am very angry and up set and I do not never want your 3rd party to every call me every again. I have never experience this type of unprofessional-ism in my life, if you would like a copy of that phone call I will make you a copy and send it to you. I spoke with Customer service dept she froward me to Quality Assurance I spoke with Greg Billbomb he advised that he would escalated to the manager he pretended he did know which manager he will esc to this was at 11:56 am texas time. I called Ben Petersen and ask for Reves superior have told me Mr. Chris Baltold ext 3329, I spoke with him he said that the company record the phone calls also, and I told him that I want to file a complaint, he pretty much told me I could with him I said I want to speak with vp, ceo or someone who will take this matter serious and he told me that I will not be able to take to vp or ceo that they don't take calls, I told him that I would file a compaint with BBB and the FCC, He said please dont file a compaint as if I was joking, he that he would write him up, to call him to marrow around the same time sarcastic, So my only other option is to put my tape on the Internet and so everyone can hear this hot mess, may be you should not nolonger have a contract with this company they will help you lose business more business. I left a message with Mr chris brown who suppose to be the vp, I wait for his phone call and go from there, maybe be the ceo will have both rep apologize for their unprofessional behavior, I just thought I would let you know the garbage you have calling people are very unprofessional.

This company said we could make good money easy, its not true . We spent at least 100 to 120 hours trying to find a supplier but all the ones we found won't sell whole sale, and that means we would of had to charge more than the people we would get the product from, so that means we would have to over charge for the product we are no theives, at least to the people that didn't look further on the net. But like myself I look for the best price on products so that means no one would buy from us. And when we tried to get at least some of our money back they said it has been to long $14.000 dollars ripped off, my advise is don't use this company at all...

I am interested in learning about PMI & working with them on web based advertising. I would appreciate any info. good or bad. I can't afford to lose any money as I live on Social Security. I found one web site that had about 1/2 good things about them & 1/2 said they had trouble getting their money refunded & didn't get any help in setting up the program. They did say they have been referred to as Professional Marketing International coaching in the past.
