Here is how the scam unfolds:
First you will order an inexpensive Internet or Real estate business opportunity off the Internet or an infomercial. Then get called a few days later by some one saying they are giving you a free consultation or something to this nature. They will call them self a start up specialist or business consultant. They will say they need to qualify you for the success team program, making you feel like this is a once in a life time opportunity. Then they will start asking you personal questions about your finances. Their only real purpose is to find out if you have any MONEY AVAILABLE on your credit cards. Once they find this info out, they will "sell you". They do this by putting you through an emotional roller-coaster making you feel horrible about your current financial situation and then build you up by going over your goals with you. In other words, "they build a dream". They make you think that this business is going to make tons of money because they will help you make it a success, and you a success story. They will then say congratulations I think we can work with you, then put you on hold so they can find a closer to talk to you. They have the closer or "senior director" call you back in 5 to 10 min. The closer will end up convincing you to give them a credit card number and charge it in the range 2, 000.00 up to 20, 000.00 dollars.
They also don't tell you these Impulse guys hire people out on work release programs from the local jails! can you believe that. One of the places they get these so-called telemarketers is from the Goodwill program and Largo Residential Re-entry facility for criminals coming out of jail and in need of a job and live at the local half way house. These are the people you are giving your credit card numbers and info to!
If anyone else has more information or details on the criminals working here please post it so others will not fall victim to this boiler room operation.
