PREPLOGIC SCAM............Be careful, this company is BAD!

Jan 11, 2011 3:28AM PST

Bought a few mega-guides last year from this company for various certifications for the $1 deal that they do now and again, only to find out to my horror they have put me onto a $2967 training scheme that i never wanted/agreed to. God knows how they have got me tied into this, i'm in the process of taking action against them for numerous attempts at taking money out of my bank for this. If anyone does buy anything off them, please, please be sure what you are getting yourself into first. After googling "Preplogic scam", it seems that they are notorious for getting people tied into "contracts" that they have neither paid for/wanted. I don't know how this company are still operating personally after what i have looked up on them, it's quite a scandal how their salespeople operate with persistent emails/phone calls trying to sell stuff, even when you have told them you are not the slightest bit interested.

Be careful once again people before handing over bank details with this outfit, you may well find yourself in my position if you're not careful.

Just a word of advice for you all anyway.

$1?

What would you expect for $1? Most often if something sounds too good to be true, it is.

I have never used them myself, but sorry to hear about your experience. I don't think that all too good to be true things are scams or whatever though, I use cert training that is absolutely free and there are no catches, but thats just my experience. Good luck in the future, hope it all works out for you.

PREPLOGIC LOSERS ---> Bait & Switch
Aug 20, 2011 2:33AM PDT

I, too, was lured into PrepLogic's unethical business practices. They baited me with the $1/month trial of their online courses (CCNA) which were 4 years old i.e. outdated. However, I had some extra time to invest in studying, so I called to ask that if I continued with their online program, if I could cancel at anytime and was told that I could. Then they switched that agreement once they got the credit card number and told me I was obligated for over $2000 in future payments....WHAT????? They said they emailed me some contract which I never received... but then again they are SPAM kings with all the crap email they send to bait their victims,so it's no wonder I did not sort through all their spam emails. I never signed any agreement. So I cancelled that credit card and they incessantly pester me with phone calls with threats. THEY NEED PUT OUT OF BUSINESS with these UNETHICAL/ILLEGAL SCAMMING business practices. There are about 200 complaints about them with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), where they proudly own a dismal D- rating. Also many complaints at RipOffReports.... if you are smart (unlike me), you would have googled "PREPLOGIC SCAM" before initiating any trial & read about all the previous victims they have preyed upon.
