Horizon Technologies
Reviews and Complaints

On Oct. 25, 2008, I bought into the company, based on the sales pitch from Pete, for $2449.00. After the transaction, I came across the postings on '[redacted]' which were mostly negative. Should have done that first.

On Oct. 27, I called the company and talked to Shawn and told him I wished to cancel the contract and get a refund. He told me he couldn't do that in his position, but would put me in contact with the district manager Tay Craig.

Tay called me about 1 1/2 hours later, and asked why I wanted to cancel. After our discussion, he agreed to refund my money. Later in the day, I received a phone call from a secretary stating the credit had been issued to my credit card, and subsequently has been credited to my account.

As I would complain about negative communications with the company, I find I must also communicate about the positve also.

There lies were about the next big thing in GPS and a powerful sales tactic to start great business. They said it was the best I could do after being laid off with their great team of support to help me get started. The deal was a special time offer during the first call.

Then another caller said 'you need a sign for your business' and persuaded me to buy mailer post cards to special lists that they would send me a list of recipients when they went out. When the time period of two week to get cards printed and mailed came and went I called to find out and they ignored me.
I did all they said with no response and when I called back for help there was no help. They said I would have all this help and anyone could help but no one wanted to when I called.
I kept trying to call until their voice mailbox was full and did not take anymore messages.

I signed up with Horizon Technologies in late Nov. 2008 to be an independent rep for their Millenium Plus GPS units. Initial investment was $2449.00. This bought me a GPS unit of my own, brochures and postcards for mailing to prospective clients, and a website of my own. In 6 days they called with a 'fool-proof' marketing campaign. For $13, 800 they would mail 1000 postcards to prescreened selective fleet businesses (a guaranteed customer base according to their smooth talking sales rep) every month for 12 months. Mailings were to start in January of 2009. I was also charged $19.95 monthly for tracking my own GPS unit (which I never installed) and $25.00 per month for my website. I have been charged for 3 months of these charges and the business shut down on Jan 26, 2009 without any warning to its clients.

I used a credit card to fund this purchase and I intend to go after them for fraud. No mailings were ever done. My website was only up for one month before they shut it down. They had no intention of doing these mailings. They told me they had been in business for 4 years and were a friendly 'family' owned and operated business. I have read that they are trying to start up again under a new name. Please beware of this type of business scheme. if I am able to recover any of this investment I will post the results.

First I had to pay $1, 000. Plus I also had to pay $50 per month for service fees for l year. I became sick so they said they would advertise for me and charged me $1250. I never made one penny from this company during the year I was signed up with them.
