I have been trying to get a refund for 2 months. I have been told they have no record of me, but when I requested a password they sent me one with just my email information. I have called 6 different numbers. I've sent over 20 emails. They have promised me my refund. Yet I have not received a credit. I went through my bank and the phone number they have record of for Penbrook Productions is another company. Angela Penbrook is a lier and a thief. Not a business woman.
Joined to Process Rebates at home. Given a 3 month trial to see if I would like to do this. After I worked on this for 1 month I decided this is not for me I couldn't contact anyone for the companies that offered the rebates, I couldn't contack Penbrook Productions for the material that was promised. I called to cancell and requested that my refund be returned I was told that it would take 3-5 business days to process I have been doing this now for 5 months and keep getting the same response and that is a account representative will contact me and process my refund. I was given a website to request my refund and this also has given me the same response and I will be contacted to return my refund. This has not happened after numerous request with www.fastsupportlive.com. I donot know what to do to get this company to return my $197.00 charged to my credit card.
Thank You,
Richard Griego
The only way that you are going to make a difference for yourself is to contact The Better Business Bureau. Just go online and google them and their official website link will come up. Put in the company's name and it will show you if there are any complaints about this company. Also, it will show you the Rating that this company has been given from the BBB.
Next, with all of their info handy, you compose a message about what you've experienced and the full amount that you've invested in the company and need to be compensated. The BBB will send this letter directly to the company and they will have time to respond. In the end, you will, most likely be refunded this money.
The BBB is a very reputable establishment that deals with exactly these types of situations. The company you dealt with does not want their rating to drop or to be given a bad rating. They will lose business from this.
In fact, any time you want to try any new job venture, you can run them through the BBB and make a wiser choice.
Sounds like what you got yourself involved in was a scam, but the BBB can help you.
Another Consumer... ; ) Good luck!
I have been charged 39.95USD for months now and I do not know how they got my credit card. All I did was search thier website. I never would have acknowledged payment for any rebate processor scheme. As a result I had to cancel my present visa and they are sending me another one so the payments can stop! By the way I tried calling the so called phone number for customer service they give you in the credit charge email, nothing! all you get is dead air! it's as if the number doesn't even exist. go figure. There probably is not a valid number so noone can call them and complain that they are being ripped off! There has to be some way to catch this scam artist. I got off easy I only lost a bit over $100.00 even so it's enough to make me have to go to the trouble to cancel my card and get a new one.
In Mid March 2008, I applied to this company to be a rebate processor. After about 3 days of intense direction following that made no sense or progress, I contacted the company and tried to have them help me. I could not get my id to come up on any products. They walked me through the process, exactly as the directions stated and I had been doing, but still no id was placed. I then called back and told them I wanted my refund from their "Guarantee of satisfaction" I spoke to a lady named Gracey and actually got a verification number - [protected]- that the charge was reversed on my credit card. Much to my avail, I called back several times over the next 2 months to actually get the charge reversed and each time it was a different person and a promise and verification number that the charge was reversed. Each month I had to go round and round with my credit card company disputing the charge. Finally, I could not justify to the cc company that the charge was a scam and I had to pay it. This company is a hoax, scam, and a RIP-OFF. Do NOT give them your cc number for anything they promise. You will regret it.
I ordered a rebate processing from home for a trial period. I decided it was not for me and requested a refund within a week of placing the order. I was told it would be done in 3-5 days. Now 6 months and many calls and emails to www.fastsupportlive.com later I still have not received my refund. This is a total scam. I have not ever heard back from the company when they replied that someone would get back to me on this matter.
Thank you,
Kevin Weeter
This morning I opened my email and found an email from Angela Penbrook regarding a transaction to my credit card. I didn't order anything from Penbrook Productions. In fact, the transaction was only minutes old when I found it. I went online, filled out a complaint form. I receieved a support ticket number. I called the customer service number. I got a woman who asked me alot of question. In the end she told me my account would be credited the 39, 90 (notice the comma, not period) that had been charged and it would take 7-10 days.
I received an e-mail the other day thanking me for a purchase I made totalling $39.95 that had the last four digits of my credit card on the statement. I looked on my credit card statement and though that amount was not present, another one from the same EZ Income was on my statement for $7.95. I seem to remember ordering some make-money kit and paying that for shipping, but I never ordered anything for $39.95 and I never received said package either. (If that was what I'm thinking it was.) I tried contacting Angela Penbrook twice and got no reply. I'm a little more than upset since I'm in college and trying my best just to get by.
Penbrook Productions is a scam. I lost 197. but they called wanting me to give them 1000's more so they could teach me how it worked. I did not get my money back even tho I disputed it on my Citi card. This Co. needs to be reported to any agency that will take the report until their doors are closed. All these type of Co.
need to be stopped.
Yes, I too have been SCAMMED by Penbrook Productions. And of course my Credit Card company said they couldn't do anything about it, since it has been so long. I guess that they can't even do What they promise either!
There Stupid People employed by Penbrook Productions!
There are hundreds of us that have had the exact problem with Angela Penbrook Productions Rebate Process Program who is also owned by Angel Stevens Porcess at Home that was found out by ABC 20/20 News who told the LABBB about CEO of the companies. This guy listed as CEO of both companies is now claiming he is only a Consultant and filed paperwork for the real owners of these companies, but won't give any other info out. We have been working with producer Ann E. Varney / Ruth with ABC 20/20 News to try and find out who is the real owners of these companies, which we have checked with all LA/OC County Records Clerks Offices and couldn't find any companies registered under their numerous DBA's/Website names. We then contacted the CA Attorney Generals Office who sent letters out to complaining consumers by their Public Inquiry Unit signed by S. Regalado stating they would check this company complaints out and get a response for us which they never did or followed up, so when ABCs' Ann called the CA Attorney Generals Office and asked about consumer complaints or any info on these companies they stated they had no consumer complaints or have knowledge of these companies. Which means they received our complaints and didn't do anything with it, but sent a letter to us which feels like it is to show us they will investigate these companies but actually it was just a show. Even Ann said she felt like she was getting pushed aside when asking about a scam that's been based in California for years and has hundreds if not thousands of complaints for Penbrook Productions / Make You Famous Consulting Inc. in Irivne, CA with the BBB, FTC, CA Attorney Generals Office (who now denies knowing anything about these companies) as well as numerous scam/fraud posting websites. When we checked with the Secretary of State CA Debra Bowen the only company registered was Make You Famous Consulting Inc. Irivne, CA Penbrook Productions address, so when we tried to file complaints again and let Sect. of State CA Office and CA Attorney Generals Office know about these scams companies who use CA address's but are not registered anywhere they just responded by saying we have no info on these companies except for Make You Famous Consulting and put in a bunch of codes to go and get a private legal action. We could have sworn these offices are there to STOP SCAMS in the state they serve and are pushing hundreds of consumers complaining aside from all over the US, even when we are asking for help finding the correct owners so we can take legal action which is what we really only wanted they just pushed us aside and told us to use certain codes to make this CEO talk. So we have tried to get the correct information on these companies with all Offices that business's have to register with to operate in CA, CA Attorney Generals Office and Secretary of State CA and none of these Offices has any business info on any owners/registration of business names used with their LA/OC address' on websites/emails for Rebate Processor jobs or will they help us consumers/media get any information to do anything against these companies scamming/misleading people still to this day operating in CA. It looks like these scam artists are being protected by the Offices that are suppossed to help consumers against Scam/Fraud compaines in their State and are not even willing to properly investigate this Rebate Process Program Scam that would put them in the News if they actually wanted to show people they're doing their job. Just like AOL-Careerbuilder.com and YAHOO-Hot Jobs advertise these companies on their site and don't check business's wanting to advertise on their site because they claim to be to big, but have a fraud dept. to report after the fact. Who is keeping who in business here? If they really checked all the companies advertised on their sites they wouldn't have anything to post so by them saying they are too big is just a cover up for what they really know would shut down their site. So in other words we consumers are on our own here to stop a scam that looks like everybody is making money on one way or another and doesn't want to stop the income form a SCAM.
I ordered their work at home program and then the next day I found out alot about the company. I called that day and requested a refund they gave me my cancellation # and said in 2 to 3 days the $197.00 would be credited back to my credit card. Well they did credit my care for $197.00 but then charged my credit card AGAIN for $197.00 and now I just get an answering machine and haven't received my 2nd refund. This is from April 07, 2008 that all of this has been going on. If anybody knows how I can get my money back please help me? I work hard for my little paychecks and need my money really bad now. This company does not talk to anybody that I know of. Everytime I call which has been all hours day and night and I just get a recording. I want my $197.00 NOW!
These people have been billing me for $39.95 each month for 4 months and I have no idea who they are.
When attempting to contact them by email - there is no address. When attempting to call their 866 - it is busy.
I do not know what the charges are and do not see a product. I know what I purchase and get billed for - and this is not one of them.
They are billing me under EZ INCOME and see this: -----------------------------------------

Thank you for your order.

Again, do not know who they are and must now cancel my credit card to stop them from billing me - and know I did Not order anything from them - especially not by the name of this company. Funny thing, I know I have not made a purchase from a woman. I do remember many months ago looking at something but not purchasing after doing a google search and finding out it was a scam. I'm
wondering how they got my credit card number. That is scary.
Susan N.
charged my credit card. then when i cancelled i got a refund # and everything but never recieved my refund
I ordered this program for 197.00 on 3/14/08 and ask for a refund on 3/15/08 which they gave me after they added an additional 197.00 to my account so actually they did'nt refund me at all and now I cant contact them at all. My credit card company Discover want a confirmed letter from penbrookproduction which is crazy because I can't get in touch with anyone it's a scam I don't even have my credit card company behind me on this Discover sucks also. I have been trying to get my money ever since it now 12/14/08 and nothing yet this is really wrong to do people that wants to make a honest living.
I subricribe to this home bas business and was never able to successfully get started-- no support,
human contacts etc..etc..
I cancelled well within the grace period but no one responded to my request for my $200.00 I paid by check.
I would just like to add that the Angel Stevens Scam is not just the process rebates at home, but much more. The Rich Jerk is another scam that I believe to be directly related to this monstrosity in some shape or form. I was reviewing the scam myself and they use MidPhase as a hosting service. I started a live chat with the MidPhase tech support they told me it was a legitimate business and they are….. …. Yes that’s right boys and girls “Affiliates”, MidPhase should cut business ties with people that lie to cheat others out of large sums of cash. Tech Support gave me an email address to a/the/someone manager to voice any concerns. Underground Cash Secret also conveniently uses this same hosting service. (I found this one out by looking at http://www.scam.com) Is this a coincidence? MidPhase is good about refunding money to those who cancel.
