Please Be Weary Of Crexendo
Posted on 02. Apr, 2010
This is a warning to all consumers in the state of Utah to be extremely cautious concerning Crexendo who is planning and performing conferences throughout the state and has troubled consumers in the past with their other business StoresOnline. StoresOnline has thousands of complaints recorded at the BBB if you are interested in reading more. Crexendo is too new for any complaints yet.
Currently, Utah consumers are seeing billboards, receiving tickets in the mail, and ads all over the internet for upcoming Crexendo conferences.
Crexendo advertises their conferences as free. The company markets “e-services” to those intending to do business on the Internet. The conference is direct and very convincing to those individuals who have little or no online business experience. After the conference, attendees are often urged to sign up for a one-day workshop which requires a very large fee. The information provided at the workshops is completely bogus, their refund policy is very strict, and their customer service is horrible.
Advice for Utah consumers:
If you plan to attend any of Crexendo’s free seminars or workshops, you should be aware that promoters often use high-pressure sales pitches that require consumers to buy now or risk missing the opportunity. Consumers sometimes have to pay high costs for information that is often available elsewhere for little or no money. Individuals interested in home-based or internet businesses need to consider all aspects and costs of starting and operating a business.
Red flags that may signal a questionable seminar promoter:
- The offer is advertised as being time sensitive.
- The promoters hype the program but provide little detail.
- The representatives are reluctant to answer questions and give evasive answers.
- Local business people or experts are not endorsing the program.
- Little time is given to read a lengthy contract.
- Promoters will not provide the number of people participating in the program who have achieved the program’s claims and are unwilling to provide earning claims in writing.
- Promoters claim laws regulating the sales of business opportunities don’t apply to them.
Good luck… these guys are shady!
