I overpaid Achieve ki $5500. *********************** has been working with me. He has acknowledged this payment multiple times.He has repeatedly told me that the $1800 of the $5500,00 is in the mail. I talk to him several times a week. I have not received a cent. I feel I am being scammed and taken advantage for my age 72. For 3 days now he has not returned my calls. On a side note , I was fined $3500.00 for believing I was as scammed and I briefly stopped working with him , but returned working with him against my Banks advise. I am not selling a thing. I get repeated messages from Amazon that most products that I had listed are not acceptable. I wanted to believe and trust this company. I took a chance after being told by my bank to get out and made a terrible mistake.. I really need this money. Several banks are involved , all the cards that I have used to make these payments are now shut down. One bank discontinued services with us after 35 years of business. I was originally given provisional credit. All the money was given back to Achieve. However , when I decided to work with them again, I charged an additional $9,000. I was told I broke contract so $3500 of that money was my fine. . That did leave me with an additional $5500.00 I overpaid.and all that was given back to achieve .****** has all the records of the banks involved and has acknowledged many times that I was going to get a refund. Besides that I have no business and making no money March 3 was the last time they got money from me which was $3500. It was a provisional credit given to them , but I had already repaid money to reestablish. For 2 months there has been no action on sslling. All I get is messages the products are not allowed to be sold. We have not talk business for several weeks. It has all been talk that I was getting my money back.Customer response
