Thrive is STILL Scamming!!

I am sorry I have been out of the loop for awhile. It saddens me greatly to see there are STILL people being cheated by Thrive. It goes to show just how ruthless Thrive is!!

Many blogs have been taken down because of the agreements with Thrive in order for them to receive their refund. I hope all of you are blogging about your sad experience with Thrive.

It is important to follow the steps to receive a refund. Your best bet may be with the Utah Department of Consumer Protection. Call or email to check on the status of your claim. It does take awhile. It took us about 6 months. Some take longer.

We were also told, "NO WAY" when we requested a refund. Do you really think they are just going to hand you back your money? Unfortunately, you must fight for it. It seems like nothing is happening for a long time and then out of nowhere you will receive a call.

Keep encouraging each other. United we stand. Remember Thrive has many names to go with their many faces. None of them are good nor are they there to help you.

Let me know about your blogs. Sign the petition if you haven't already. Good luck to all!!

REFUNDS ARE HAPPENING!

People are receiving refunds! So if you are feeling discouraged - STOP. Just regroup and keep working toward your goal. Remember - Thrive and their sales people know they are in the wrong. You just need to keep letting the Utah Consumer Protection department know about it. They will do their best for you.

Sign the petition if you haven't done so!

If you are wondering about blogs and statements on the forums that have been taken down - know it was part of the deal to get their money back.

Thrive is still trying to stop all the bad publicity. Problem is for Thrive - when one goes down - another picks up the torch.

There are a lot of people out there still feeling the sting from Thrives sales bee's.

Encourage others! United we can stand together and will be strong. :)

BEWARE and BE AWARE!

BEWARE!! Most service fulfillment companies don't much care about you or your future. That's why they ask about your credit rating, "how much money you owe on your credit cards", or "how much money you have access to" (on credit cards and even home equity), etc. This is to see how much money they can get you to part with (scam). Many people have lost their life savings or have been placed in a serious financial crisis.

Usually each company has a 3rd party sales company that they work for so the fulfillment company only gets a small precentage. So when you ask for your money back , you will most likely NOT be able to get in touch with the person who sold it to you. Then when you ask the fulfillment company (Thrive) to refund you, they'll tell you to contact the person who sold it to you. Sound familiar!! I have been there!! It is a circus and just part of the scam to get you to become discouraged and give up asking for a refund.

Many of these type of companies, like Thrive, prey on the elderly and the baby boomers (the 40's and 50's group). Aren't there laws in some states against stealing from the elderly?

BE AWARE!! There are people who comment positively (on some forums) about companies like Thrive and claim that they are doing great! They do not, if you notice, give any substantiation to back up that claim. They may very well be a representative of Thrive or another company. It is OK to ask that person to show you their website and tell you how many customers visit their site monthly. When and IF they post their website link, search it on the web for its statistics. But don't be surprised if you never hear from them to learn of their website!

Don't give up! These people must be stopped! Write your letters and post blogs. Complain, complain, and complain until you get your refund!

"Pay it forward" as one good person I know always says! Help others along the way. Spread the word to warn others about Thrive!

You should and can ask questions when a telemarketer calls. Ask for a copy of a contract before you agree to purchase anything. If they do not offer a money back guarantee - DO NOT do business with that company!! Hang up the phone!!

Keep this thought in mind.

"If anything sounds too good to be true - it most likely is NOT true!"
