Description

Very similar to the other complaint I read here on BBB, a sales guy from Web Success Portal called me to create a website, and promised me I would make a profit, but never made 1 penny. Hi my name is *****, you guys sold a program for $15,000 September 2023 and another $2,000 in January 2024 to my grandfather *** ****** for a basic website and affiliate marketing apparently. He hasn't made 1 sales through this "Venture" and you guys took advantage of him. Want to let you know that *** is 85 years old and what you've guys done is committed elder fraud. https://ovc.ojp.gov/program/stop-elder-fraud/providing-help-restoring-hope I looked at the website you guys sold him for $15,000 specialtyproductsonline.com and after a 30 second review I can tell you he could've paid someone on Fiverr $500 bucks for that. You guys know yourselves that website is not worth $15,000. I am a paralegal at the Department of Justice and see this stuff all the time. I can't believe it happened to my own grandpa. If *** does not receive a full refund of $17,000 immediately we will be filing a complaint under the FBI Cyber Crimes division: https://www.ic3.gov/Home/EF Anyone over 60 is a protected class when it comes to selling them Online Business Opportunities. We will also be filing a complaint with the BBB, Attorney General in Michigan, Nevada, and California, and Delaware. Along with FTC. After some basic legal research I see many "Sales Floors" like yours getting shut down left and right for this exact scam, but you guys probably already know that.
