Well, I have been online reading many, many blogs about this company but nothing recent. I tried ePerks when they first launched. I knew that it was a start-up company and that they were trying to get off the ground…BUT, they had a money back guarantee! So, what’s to lose? Nothing, right? WRONG!

I tried ePerks for 8mos just like I agreed. I received approx 6 leads- they were all either wrong #s or bad email addresses- I never spoke to any of them or set up any apptmts so when my time was up, I requested to be discontinued & for my refund. Of course they tried to sell me other things or give me a few more months free if I didn’t have to have the refund, but I got nothing from them, so insisted on the money back. They agreed & even sent me a certificate with an authorization number  showing that they verified that I did not close any of their “leads” over the 8mos I was with them & that I would receive my refund in the amount of $739.50.   I emailed eperks support last wk b/c I still had not received my refund which was to be put into my acct no later than 12/15/08.

Yesterday, Michael with ePerks called me on my cell phone & said that eperks will be filing for bankruptcy & will not be refunding my money. I was floored. This is really upsetting to me. I cannot believe that a company that is STILL selling memberships would tell me that they will not keep their word. He said that I have 2 options- that I can walk away now with 20% of what they owe me “so that I get something” or I can agree to be pd out over the next yr, but if they file for bankruptcy then they owe me NOTHING. We discussed this for several minutes & I told him that I wanted my options in writing & that I would contact an attorney to see what my rights are with regards to this. He said “an attorney will tell you to take what you can get b/c once we file for bankruptcy you will get nothing” He ultimately refused to send me my options in writing – he stated that I have to choose which one I am taking & then he’ll send me that one in writing. I told him that I was taking the option where they put my $739.50 back in my account by 12/15/08 & he said that isn’t going to happen

WOW! Take it from someone who just lost over $700 – If ePerks is contacting you & making promises, please-please, do not believe them. I have not had time to consult w/anyone about what I can do or if I will get my money back, but I felt like vomiting when the rep (Michael) told me that times are really tough for the company with the economy being like it is and unfortunately eperks didn’t get to be part of the government bail-out & doesn’t have the money to pay back all of the people that want their money back. He said that he even had to take a pay cut….

I am sure that he could care less about what is going on in our lives or that they took over $700 from a mom with 3 elementary school age children… The sob story from the eperks rep just topped it off. If they can’t keep their word, then they deserve to fail in this industry!

If you have had a bad experience w/them please post it so that others will know & will not fall into this trap. Thanks for reading & Happy Holidays!
