Hey FACT! You sure sound like a lawyer to me but then again you are not man or woman enough to show your identity are you? But that isn't relevant in your eyes anyways.
It's kind of funny how you avoid the subject until you have no choice but to admit it in the end. You finally admit that the report doesn't cover the ten years your company has duped consumers into your phony packages. Oh wait and that compliance thingy you talk about? Yes, it might of been improved in the last year before the raid but kind of funny you would mention that since you guys were under a state investigation at the time. Geez, I would change my company's questionable practices to if I had the feds watching over me constantly. Here is a reminder in case you forgot.
Case Number: L05-3-1172
Subject of investigation:
Strategia Marketing, LLC
Subject's address:
8751 Ulmerton Blvd., Largo, FL 33771
Subject's business:
Inbound/outbound telemarketing sales
Allegation or issue being investigated:
Unfair and deceptive trade practices regarding telemarketing sales and unauthorized debiting of consumer bank and credit accounts. Acquisition and use of stolen consumer data from Certegy Check Services, Inc., including personal idenfiying and financial information.
AG unit handling case:
Economic Crimes Division in Tampa, Florida
You "rebuttal" me like you teach your agents to rebuttal your unsuspecting victims. It's what you don't tell them that got you in trouble. Like the 15 different company names that was used by Suntasia/Strategia throughout the years. Remember FACT. Let's see Capitol Vacations became Agents Travel Network that became Travel Agents Go Direct. Distinct Advantage became Variety (same website to. lol) Florida Passport became Floridaway and so on and so on. Every year your company changed it's name with the same script. Why? Because too many complaints came in and you had to change it in order to keep "things" going. That was preached constantly when I was there but I am sure you'll deny that also.
Oh and what about that script with the "slick" wording in it. Yes FACT it's what you DON'T say in it that is the reason your company is shutdown.
They never tell the consumer:
* There are 3 numbers to call if they cancel ALL three packages.
* The customer service number in case they want to cancel unless pressed by the consumer to do so.
* There is a $29 processing fee charged if they do succeed in cancelling.
* The $100 gas vouchers are only to be used $10 increments at a time and you don’t get all of them at first
* The $400 travel vouchers cannot be used all at once either. Your travel ticket has to be $600 or more to get at least $100 off and even more restrictions after that.
* The second package (FloridaWay aka Florida Passport) was a timeshare which many people didn’t want and the agent was not allowed to mention even though the consumer might of stated that during the sales call.
* Suntasia/Strategia DOES NOT track their package so the consumer will know when it will arrive.
So continue with your PR damage control campaign FACT because like I stated before your future is in politics not telemarketing. lol
Go ahead and re-open, I can't wait because NOW EVERYONE knows who the REAL scam artists are. This time people will be more aware.
Oh and just in case you missed it, here is a link to another story that was done last night on your precious Strategia. I am sure you have a "rebuttal" for that to just like you did to your unsuspecting victims that were called. Let me guess as to what you're going to say. Those people were dilussional right? They don't have their FACTS straight, right? Oh wait, they are just disgruntled ex employees. That's it!
Well in case you missed it, here it is for you to see.
