Told I Was "Not a Good Fit" for Asking Questions
Note: I am not an investor, just someone who was ready and able to invest.
If you are reading this, you are probably deciding whether to invest $9K, $17K, or $30K. I had the funds and genuine interest, but when I reviewed their own numbers, the math did not match the promises.
On a Zoom call with Emily, the sales rep, she sent me their presentation since I could not see the slides on my phone. On page 7, it shows investor returns for "M. Gonzales – 2024" under the Growth package ($17K):
Total gross: $22,000
Management fees: $4,370
Total net: $17,483
Emily told me that $17,483 was "straight profit." I pointed out that it included the original investment, meaning the true gain was about $483, roughly 2.8% ROI, not the 300%+ ROI advertised elsewhere.
Robbie, the sales manager, joined the call and said their model had recently changed, and they now delay taking management fees until an investor recoups the initial investment. Emily, new to the team, had not known that yet. I told them the presentation should be updated, and Emily retrained, so that new investors are not misled.
They did not want to admit that they were mistaken. When I asked for an apology for the confusion and offered some friendly advice from a former salesperson to another, Robbie called me "confrontational," told me I was not the type of investor they were looking for, and ended with a dismissive, "Have a blessed day."
So I did not choose to walk away. They chose not to take my money because I asked questions and expected professionalism.
The Zoom was recorded, and the math is simple. If you are considering investing, read everything carefully, verify returns, and get every claim in writing. A legitimate business should welcome questions, not silence them.
Update (11/09/2025): I did not yell or namecall, but I did have a firm tone and asked for an apology. I did not do the things that they are accusing me. I said they should update their materials and retrain their staff. She was new and misunderstood.
The manager said the misunderstanding was a matter of perspective. No. Numbers don't lie.
But the company did when they responded to my review. Very glad I did not invest in your sketchy company.
Win-win. They did not want me as an investor, and I definitely am glad I did not pour my money into this company.
