I signed up for a course that was advertized for $97, but ended up being a scam due to asking adicional $200 per month after signing up. I called 2 days later to cancel the program, but they refuse to give my money back. Now they have went ahead and started charging my account extra monthly fees after I requested to cancelBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:I decided to cancel the class couple days after I signed up. However, my emails were ignored for weeks before they finally responded. Their business model is not for everyone and they need to understand they can NOT force individuals to join their multi level program & or don't have enough time to invest each day to make business work. Plus there is a lot more $ being asked in order to succeed in the business. I only joined to see if the trial period was something i can expand on, but once I realized it wasn't, I informed them right away. As I mentioned earlier, all my emails were ignored for weeks.

On Monday, I scheduled my meeting with the company to see if I was eligible to join the program. I was put into a ****** meet with Eyden who explained some basics. After he learned of my credit score I was told that I was eligible to become apart of the program and that I would be placed into another meeting later that day with ******** The meeting came and ******* buttered me up with false information and emphasizing the importance that once I join I would be able to get a refund without any extra steps before the first 60 days. While he is trying to persuade me to join, I am questioning him about being able to get a refund. After he won me over with the idea of a guaranteed 60 day refund without any stipulations I decided to go along with the program. While enrolling in the course he is intent on signing up for me and just having me tell him my information over the phone. I start to get questionable about that and tell him I can just do it myself and to send me the link. He then gets a awkward look on his face but ultimately goes with it allowing me to put my own bank information in as he already completed all the other steps so the only thing left was to pay. Before paying I ask him to see the paperwork retaining the information on the 60day guaranteed refund and he says they he cannot do that because the information gets sent once the payment is in. I put my trust in him and pay once I tell him I paid the deposit, He instantly goes on his phone to text and is eager to get off the phone with me as quickly as possible telling me to sign the binding documents and everything is good. I then recieve the documents and realized that the information he was telling me and what was in the paperwork were completely different. This immediately scared me away and made me request a refund the same day. Since then I have been back and forth with customer support and they have since stopped replying to my emails regarding a refund. I have not signed any binding paperwork eitherBusiness Response

Complaint: 22799566
I am rejecting this response because:I have recently made a post on bbb about my situation and the company owing me an $700 full refund. I requested a refund for the product a day after making the purchase after extensive research and feeling as though I recieved different information in the introduction process and reading the paperwork. After making the post on bbb I had thought we came to resolution to have a full refund with just a $100 processing fee, once recieving the refund I only received $100 refunded and it said $500 goes to the credited amount of around $500 which would be for the payment plan that we hadn't even made it to the point in the purchase to start that fee. This would result to the full purchase being a total of $1200. Once receiving the payment I then noticed this and sent an email but now they will not even respond back when they use to respond back in a day or two later. It has been around two to three weeks now and I haven't recieved a response to the various emails I have sent. I am unsatisfied with this interaction and hope that we can get past this situation. It would be very helpful to get a response back from the company and recieve my full refund amount.

In the training materials provided for the ****, participants were advised to open an account with ******* during Phase 2. ****** seized $18,000 in cash and $15,000 in inventory due to one item purchased from 888 being classified as counterfeit. ****** indicated that they do not regard 888 as a legitimate source of inventory.I contacted management due to their extensive experience as ****** sellers, as they had previously recommended 888 to me via the "Start Here" section of this program. Unfortunately, I have not received any responses to my inquiries for assistance regarding this issue, which has left me feeling disregarded. Given that **** is the organization that encouraged me and many others to engage with 888, it is reasonable to expect that they would provide the necessary support and resources. This support is a primary reason many of us enrolled in the **** Platinum Program, as it is essential to receive expert guidance during our Amazon journey.**** must incorporate a disclaimer stating that any items purchased from this vendor are undertaken at the buyers' own risk. Although I find myself beyond the point of resolution, it would be prudent for the organization to issue a full refund to those affected. Ensuring that future **** students are adequately informed about the associated risks of such partnerships is of utmost importance Lastly, *** continuing to charge me for the *** ELITE PLATINUM MENTORSHIP PROGRAM at a rate of $197.00 per month? I never agreed to this fee, and *** doesn't have a signed document from me or my company confirming my consent to these charges. Despite my attempts to contact your company via text and email, I have not received any response. I also requested a callback, but that request went unanswered. Therefore, I kindly request that you stop charging me this fee and issue a full refund for all the months I have been charged. **** was notified in their ***************** chat, but they deleted the message without any response.Business Response

Hey ******,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Our program provides tools and vendor recommendations based on past positive experiences, but these are suggestions, not requirements, and participants are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence before committing to any business decision. While we regret to hear about your challenges with 888Lots, we cannot be held accountable for third-party vendor actions as well as yours. Regarding your concerns about support if your inquiries went unanswered; we will investigate this further.
As for the charges related to the *** Alumni, our billing is based on terms agreed upon at enrollment, we'll remove you from alumni, and review your account for any discrepancies. Please contact us at ****************************** so we can address your concerns directly. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to resolving this matter.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your acknowledgment of my concerns regarding your program.
However, I would like to clarify that my experience with 888Lots was not as positive as suggested and has caused significant issues. While I understand your position regarding vendor recommendations, its important to note that these recommendations carry weight and influence participants' decisions, making the experience more impactful.
I firmly contend that this was not merely a suggestion. Throughout one-on-one calls, group discussions, and interactions in the Discord chat, the coaches consistently conveyed that establishing an account with this vendor was a requisite action. This requirement needed to be fulfilled.
I also want to emphasize the need for responsive support in situations like this. Its vital for participants to feel heard and supported, particularly when they encounter challenges. If my inquiries went unanswered, I believe this may reflect a larger issue within the support system.
Regarding the *** Alumni charges, I appreciate your willingness to review my account. I would like to ensure that all terms and agreements are clear and correctly applied.
I will follow up with the support team as suggested, but I hope my feedback can contribute to enhancing your program for future participants.
Thank you for your attention to these matters. I look forward to your response.Customer Answer

To clarify, my complaint is specifically with Ecom Degree University, not 888Lots. I am currently working with both a local attorney and the Attorney General, who advised me to file this complaint with the BBB to determine if Ecom Degree University would respond in good faith.
For your review, I have attached four exhibits:
- *** style="color: black;">Exhibit A and Exhibit B: These are my contracts with Ecom Degree University. *** style="color: black;">Exhibit C: Included in my initial complaint, this details Step 3, which requires students to sign up with Wholesaler 888Lots. While my issue is not with 888Lots, the concern lies with Ecom Degree Universitys role in this process. *** style="color: black;">Exhibit D: This outlines the hidden fees I have identified in my complaint, including $197.00 per month charged without legal consent. Ecom Degree University has been billing me for nearly a year, despite no signed contract, verbal agreement, or written authorization to support these charges. Additionally, my communications with Ecom Degree University have ceased, as shown in this exhibit. This lack of response appears to coincide with my decision not to sign up for their Alumni ********************
The core of my complaint centers around Ecom Degree Universitys failure to provide the leadership and guidance promised throughout the program, for which I paid over $10,000. Furthermore, the hidden fees and the lack of adequate support have effectively set me up for failure in this program.
For these reasons, I am requesting a full refund. I trust this information clarifies my concerns, and I look forward to your assistance in addressing this matter appropriately.

Hi ******,
I appreciate you taking the time to express your concerns. However, it seems were revisiting points that have already been addressed previously numerous times.
To address your core complaints:
Leadership and Guidance: Our program has provided the tools and resources necessary for success, including coaching calls and Office Hours conducted M-F, where guidance and leadership are consistently available. According to our records, youve celebrated a sales win within the program, demonstrating satisfaction and progress at some point during your enrollment. As stated "When I started my journey with Ecom, I consulted with a few virtual assistants to see how long it would take them to help me achieve $10,000 in monthly sales. They estimated it would take 4-6 months. I advised them to kick rocks because I was on a different time. 20K second month Lets Go" along with a screenshot of you having started your store and achieving this milestone within 2-3 months.
Timeline of Complaints: Its concerning that over a year after enrolling and not seeking support for 89 months, you are now seeking a refund.
Hidden Fees: Our program does not include hidden fees. Regarding your claims about the alumni charges, if there was a lapse in communication or handling on our end, we are more than happy to refund any fees associated with the alumni program. To proceed, we would need a screenshot or evidence showing that you sought a refund through the appropriate channels, as you've mentioned you've attempted numerous times.
If you wish to escalate further, you are welcome to submit a formal legal demand via email to ****************************** or mail it to:

We remain open to resolving this matter professionally.

I appreciate the effort and support initially extended, and I acknowledge the short-term success I achieved, as reflected in the milestones shared. However, two things can be true at the same time. While I was satisfied with the initial results and progress during the early stages of my enrollment, I have since encountered challenges where the support I needed from your program was unavailable. This gap in support remains an issue even today, which has significantly impacted my overall experience with the program.
Whats most concerning is the physical proof Ive provided showing that I reached out to both your head trainer and CEO without receiving any response. Additionally, there was no follow-up after I escalated my complaint through the BBB and email. Despite your claim that your company is willing to assist, Ive yet to receive any meaningful outreach or resolution.
You advised me to use Discord, where I posted multiple times in the community chat, yet my requests were deleted by your team. Furthermore, your coach, 2Wheelz, provided a screenshot of his failure to respond and actively ignoring my messages.
Regarding hidden fees, I consulted multiple attorneys who reviewed the alumni contract, the two signed contracts, and the unsigned version, all of which raised concerns about their legality. I also have evidence from other students in your program who were charged under the alumni program. One particular student received a refund after three months of improper charges by your company, further substantiating my claims.
All the information necessary to process a full refund has already been provided. This situation has persisted far too long without proper resolution, and I am requesting immediate action to address my concerns and process a full refund.
I hope this feedback provides clarity and encourages your company to reflect on how support can be consistently provided to ensure the long-term success of participants.
Lastly, please note that a legal demand letter will be sent shortly.
I look forward to your prompt response.

Hey ******,
Our goal has always been to empower our students by providing the tools, resources, and guidance necessary for success. As previously mentioned, we conduct daily Office Hours, Monday through Friday, in an open Zoom format, where students can freely join, ask questions, and receive real-time support. These sessions are a critical resource that many students utilize to overcome challenges, and we encourage proactive engagement in this environment. On average we provide 10 open coaching sessions on a weekly basis for all students to freely utilize.
In business, the ability to actively seek solutions is paramount. While I understand your frustration, reaching out to 2Wheelz and ******* via Discord DMs once without a response over a 9-month period does not demonstrate the level of ownership we encourage in our coaching style. We do take ownership in not having been able to responds which is exactly why we provide numerous open coaching calls. We aim to hold our students to a higher standard, fostering independence and accountability to achieve their goals. Our approach is intentionally designed to challenge our students to step into their fullest potential as you may have seen from the numerous student successes we have on a daily basis.
Regarding the claim of deleted messages, we take these concerns seriously. However, as previously noted, we have a strict policy of not removing messages unless they violate community guidelines. Despite your statements, we have yet to receive the screenshots youve mentioned you possess to validate these claims. If you have further evidence, we encourage you to share it so we can investigate thoroughly.
For alumni-related questions, please refer to the explanations we have provided in previous communications. If there are additional concerns you would like to discuss, we remain open to constructive dialogue to ensure clarity and transparency.
We remain committed to your success and are here to support youprovided that the resources and opportunities we offer are utilized effectively.

Hi Ecom,
First, I would like to thank you for finally taking some accountability. However, I must be honestyour words mean little to me at this point because Ecom has repeatedly shown that they are unwilling to back these statements with meaningful actions.
While I appreciate you mentioning the availability of your office hours, I am not sure why this was brought up as it does not address my specific concerns. The communication within Ecom appears to be as poor as the service provided. In multiple responses, it has been implied that I only reached out to Ecom once regarding my issue, which is laughable. The chat history with 2Wheelz can clearly demonstrate that this is not the case. Why didnt you consult with him to review the full communication?
To clarify, my communication began on March 9 with your lead trainer, 2Wheelz. At that time, he stated there was nothing he could do and advised me to contact ********************** I already had an existing relationship with. After Seller Basics attempted to resolve my account issue with ****** but failed, I reached out to Ecom again, only to be ignored. It became clear that the lack of response was because **** knew ****** would not reinstate accounts involving inventory sourced from ********
As for your suggestion to join a Zoom call, I fail to see how this would make any difference. I have had several Zoom calls with 2Wheelz, and those did not resolve the issue either.
Regarding my claims about deleted messages, while I dont have proof for the first two instances, I do have a screenshot from December 12 showing a message was removed. Please explain how informing the **** community about the risks of working with ******* violated community guidelines. Isnt the purpose of the community chat to share such information?
Finally, I want to point out that subscription services are legally required to clearly disclose any fees and terms to consumers. ************************ (***) regulations, as well as the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA), mandate transparency and informed consent. These laws exist to protect consumers from hidden fees and deceptive practices. If Ecom prefers that I file a complaint with the ************************ concerning their written assertion that this is a "subscription-based service" which does not require subscribers to enroll, please inform me accordingly.
************************ (***) Regulations: The *** enforces rules against deceptive practices, including hidden fees in subscription services. In October 2024, the *** announced the "Click-to-Cancel" rule, requiring businesses to simplify the process of terminating subscriptions, making it as easy to cancel as it is to sign up
I look forward to your response.
Please see the attached correspondence from my attorney regarding this matter.

Hey ***** ????
We understand how overwhelming starting a new business can feel, and were here to support you every step of the way. When you made the investment decision of $5.8K, it was for a program designed to hold you to a higher standard than you've ever held for yourself in order for us to help you achieve the goal you shared with us.

Our refund policy is based on completing specific action steps within the program to give a clear guidance. If the steps are followed and results arent achieved, we happily provide a refund.

I am rejecting this response because: due to the lack of information given to me at the time of my Down payment. Due to the nondisclosure of your nonrefundable policy, I feel like I deserve a full refund. I will not accept anything other than a refund. You withheld pertinent information about your policies to me and didnt even try to understand my situation or reasons For not wanting to continue. I signed no paperwork or any registration for the classes or degree program. Therefore, an action based Nonrefundable policy that you say is in place should not apply to me or my situation. For nondisclosure of your policies or guidelines and lack of information on your part is the reason I should receive a full refund.

Hey *****,
Our records show that our representative clearly communicated the terms of the 60-day action-based money-back guarantee when you initially decided to invest into our services. This guarantee is designed to ensure that, as long as you actively participate and follow our guidance, we are committed to your success. If after 60 days of active participation you do not see the expected results, we will provide a full refund.
However, the guarantee does not cover a change of mind due to external factors, such as a partners disapproval of the purchase.

I joined the free training session which was a total duration of 2 hours and 18 minutes. It was told that everyone that stayed until the end would receive a free replay of the live for future references. Upon finishing the informational live, I never received my replay. *** reached out and messaged via email and social media, but the only response I received was from an email stating that I wasnt on the live and sorry that they missed me but I can sign up for the next one. I spent time during working hours to acquire information that wasnt fully given to me as told in the beginning. This company is a scam and needs to be investigated. The dont even have a phone number for contact and they do NOT respond to emails. Its sad that we live in a world where we are already struggling and that 1% is so **** greedy that they will play on the minds and time of those trying to become successful. Investigate this thing IMMEDIATELYBusiness Response

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. After thoroughly reviewing our system, we found no record of any emails from the student requesting the recording. It was mentioned during the webinar that the replay link would be forwarded to those who listened and stayed until the end of the workshop.
There could be several factors why the system did not detect that she joined the webinar right away. Please know that we, as a company, strive to cater to our students and those who aspire to progress in life. We regret any misunderstanding and are committed to assisting you moving forward. If you still need the recording or any other assistance, please let us know, and we will do our best to resolve this promptly.

Have been seeking my $5,000 refund back from this company and getting the run around with automated messages that someone will be reaching out to me for weeks and no one has called or issued the refund. After the money was paid, we had asked to get a refund. What we were presented with upon signing up turned out to be something different after. We never started any of the classes/courses. My husband and I have made multiple attempts in reaching out to this company to get our money back and each person says someone else will be reaching out to us and they do not. We have multiple emails going to this company and they just give us excuses each time or sometimes they just don't respond at all. We've never been able to speak to a live person, it's always someone hiding behind an email as we have offered to discuss this over the phone to get our money back faster and they never call us.Business Response

On 12/5/2022 I purchased a product from Ecom Degree to show me how to sell on amazon, being that I really didt have the time to watch the videos like that I decided that I would sign up for the one on one mentorship which was purchased on 12/4/2022. This would give me access to someone who will be hands on with me and give me the guidance I would need to be successful at starting my business. After the purchased I reached out to *******, that was the guy who was supposed to be giving me the one on one training. He never responded to my text message. I emailed support and never got a responds back from them. I reached out in the group chats they had for all the students and was told to reach out to support but I had already done that. On 1/4/2023 I called my bank to dispute the two charges, my **** said they would provisionally credit my account the money back while they do an investigation. On 4/3/2023 I received a letter in the mail saying that their investigation was done and that I wasnt getting my money back. Fast forward to 2/18/2024 I decided to login to watch the videos and the access was gone. I reached out to support and this time I actually got a responds, they told me that being that I did a charged back they took away the access. I went back and forth in email about how my bank told me that wasnt getting my money back so why was my access taken away. Most important is where is my money if the bank said it wasnt credited back and the company saying they don't have it. I just a refund.Business Response

We apologize for the inconvenience the customer has experienced because of this matter. However, we lost the dispute for both payments, and the charges have been debited from our account. As a result, we are unable to process a refund. Attached are screenshots of both transactions, indicating the status of the disputes.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because there is no way a chargeback can be made and I never received my money back. Provide more screenshot than that.
Sincerely,

Basic Ecom Degree Course: Approximately $1,800.00 Elite Gold Program: $5,000.00 Expedited *** Service: +$750.00 At the moment I became an Ecom Degree student, I was starting another business, managing a family land deal, and transitioning between jobs. The plan was to pay for everything with a credit card and very QUICKLY transfer the balance into a zero-interest business credit account: THERE WAS NO MARGIN FOR ERROR.In early November 2023, I solicited help to obtain my *** and resellers permit. The coach I met with via Zoom stated that wed be paying for the *** service and the resellers permit service on TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS SEPARATED BY A COUPLE OF DAYS. I PAID IN EXCESS OF $760.00.To further complicate things, this coach insisted that I had to use my home address as my registered business address in this process. THIS EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCE AROSE WITH ANOTHER STUDENT PRIOR TO MY ZOOM MEETING, AND THIS SAME COACH TOLD THIS PERSON THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT WAS TOLD TO ME!!! I ended up having to contact the *********************** and pay out-of-pocket to get my address updated. I later received my *** paperwork, but the resellers permit was missing. In addition to this, the promise was made that A LEATHER NOTEBOOK WITH THE NAME OF OUR *** WOULD BE DELIVERED TO US, AND WITHIN THE NOTEBOOK, OR ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION AND OTHER PAPERS NEEDED TO ESTABLISH A BUSINESS BANK ACCOUNT WOULD BE INCLUDED. To date, I still haven't received any of the items mentioned above. Additionally, I looked at CorpNet's website, and I noticed that the PREMIUM PRICE OF *** PROCESSING SERVICES BEGAN AT LESS THAN $300.00 ( I paid over $750.00 ). I BEGAN TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS THAT WEVE BEEN SCAMMED . THE VERY NEXT DAY, AN ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE WITHIN THE DISCORD GROUP THAT THIS COACH WOULD NO LONGER BE WITH THE PROGRAM!!! Over a MONTH AND A HALF HAS NOW PASSED, AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY BUSINESS ACCOUNT, AND I HAVE VERY LITTLE TIME TO GET ANYTHING OUT OF THE PROGRAM.Business Response
