MISLED 2. I was scammed by "Josh" as well back in June 2009. Signed up for the WEB-STORE set-up for over 3, 000. Started from scratch doing niche marketing research, keyword spreedsheet, finding suppliers, etc. ALL ON MY OWN with very little input from their "coaches" (who don't often agree one to another). A good example of this was when I got 2 versions on what to do about my homepage. Add to this confusion, calls not returned promptly (like the next day); constant busy signals on the phone and their servers being down (so that your can't access the site); etc. B.S. Then AFTER ONE MONTH OF THIS, can anyone who is a reasonable human being WONDER why I STILL DON'T HAVE A fully operational WebStore up? That's ALL the time they give you because their price DOES NOT INCLUDE the actual setting up of your site.
Enter their WEB-BUILDER affiliate who will now try to extract web & hosting fees (while your site has yet to be up). And the parade continues...give us MORE MONEY...they couldn't care less if you're so close to becoming homeless or that you now have debts because you bought into their SCAM. What really took the cake was when one of their low-life affiliates who called himself Jamie E. telephone harassed me for $1, 700 to get my site "optimized". He represented himself as an "affiliate of thriveli and of Lightwave Builder". Judging from a few KEYWORDS that he let slip out of his liar mouth, THIS WAS AN INSIDE JOB (due to the content of the info. that he revealed). This was my confirmation that I bought into a SCAM in the first place. Because when I refused to accept this crook's fax, he stopped the phone calls cold turkey. NO MONEY BACK anywhere in sight.
I'm cutting my losses (thank GOD I didn't pay anything to the their Web-Builder, either) AND I'm GETTING OUT. What I wish on THEM (all those who knowingly destroy peoples' lives) IS that they GET BACK WHAT THEY CAUSED ME 10 FOLD. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND (with an impact).

I'm up for a class action suit. I signed up, put my $15, 100 on a cc and when I asked what I was getting for my money, did that include inventory and such? They told me yes, and other things. This site doesn't provide ANYTHING except some weakly done videos that don't provide detailed information on how to do anything. I started working with them explaining that my financial situation indicated that I needed to get another income coming in as soon as possible. They assured me 3 months (I translated to 6). They position themselves as a coaching team for folks who don't have any computer experience. The better to screw you with, apparantely. The bleeding just begins, you will NOT get any help on finding product or dropshippers, plan to spend money there and good luck finding a dropshipper that won't also pick your pocket. You will be paying monthly for your website, your merchant account, any activity you do on e-bay (one of their big pushes on making money - sell stuff you have around the house!) You will also have to pay for SEO optimization, they don't provide site mapping, you will pay for payperclick advertising, you will pay for pictures to put on your website. Well, you should be getting the picture. You might be unfortunate enough to get a couple coaching calls from kids who have no people skills what so ever. They will be condescending, vague and their profound guidance will be - watch such and such videos and do what they say. That would be those same videos that are vague and totally lacking in detail. You will also be inundated with calls from telemarketers who are hooked up with these people to sell you all the stuff thrive won't be helping you with. Well, I could go on. I signed up with these thugs in October of 08 and my website is completely invisible, no traffic, but lots of costs.

Dear Sir,
I gave you 14, 320.36 and for that I have received 2 coach's calls. You lied to my credit card company today by telling them I had received a lap top computer which you know is not true. I have no help consoldating my pay pal account and E bay account when I think a phone call from you would have been helpful. Instead, pay pal sent me to e-bay and vice versa. I received a letter today from the wired group wondering why I have not participated in any of the group sessions. The reason why is because you need a microphone and a headset even though I was told otherwise by the wired team which is another lie. The sight will tell you need both and gets angry if someone just has speakers on. So, consequently I am being billed $39.95 for nothing. I think I have been taken fraudulently and I am seeking full compensation as I do not want to do business with a company that lies. Also, no phone calls have been returned to me since I called the company yesterday saying I wanted out for these reasons. I am also going to contact the FTC and I have contacted my bank to ensure no more payments from Bright Builders can be taken out.
Respectfully,
Cheryl Matthies
