Contractor Beware IPA CONSULTING GROUP

cid

IPA COLD CALLED MY OFFICE, got their foot in the door and brought in a sales leader to degrade our business and get us to believe we needed their help. Next day 3 men came in to the office to what I believed to be an analysis of what could be done to increase profitability, asset protection, liability and llc, corporation strategy. IT COST ME $8400.00....for the day.
I wish we could spend the day at a "potential clients" coming up with ideas and give them a bill for *$8400 plus, including their air fare, meals etc. I was so high pressured and swindled into feeling that I would need to do this. A big red flag appeared when the previous salesman told me It would be 15000.00 to set up business llc's, necessary corporations, asset protection, partner buy-outs, family planning, wills etc.. All would be done for the 15000.00 he quoted.
Well come to find out it is just the strategy plan for 15000.00. Not the actual work of forming the corporations etc. NOW When I told them I was unsatisfied after one of the 3 men asked us to post date checks and he condoned my partner signing something on my behalf. After doing research on IPA, I failed to google IPA SCAM or IPA rip-off. I believed them when they came to my office and said they were the fastest growing consulting company in History. That their fees would be paid by them improving my bottom line with findings and leaks. However, They fooled me.
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY IPA> They said I could stop and ask them to leave anytime when I felt not satisfied with their work. I did ask them to leave, However the collection lady for IPA said but thats not what I signed..The paper work said that I must present them at the close of the day and Now IPA bills me for the next day even when I asked them to dismiss themselves. NOW IPA tries to Bang me another couple thousand for the day even though noone showed up. Third day legal documents are flying into my landscaping office like you wouldn't believe. I have been in business 23 years with over 20 emloyees and never, never, have been swindled like this...DO NOT LET THEM NEAR YOU> THEY ARE DECEITFUL. GOOGLE IPA _RIP OFF< IPA SCAM AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF>>>. ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE HEAR OF THIS?

Never give a cold caller the time of day. After all, if it was something you wanted, you'd be calling them!

We discussed them before in this forum. All I have to say is Oh God they still call me 2 years later.

They kind of did the same thing with me degrading me "Oh you don't have $500 to spend do you?" I thought it was just the sales person's style but now I see that's how they train.

"No I do have $500 bucks but I have no idea what you are asking me to spend it on. You can't show me sample reports or anything to prove that I am actually buying anything more than some recent college grad sitting in my office for 8 hours who will then hand me a stack of papers. Show me a sample report from some company you've done, erase their name and contact information, and I will review it. If I think it can help me I will glady spend the $500!"

She said "We don't have samples because everythign is customized around YOUR business." I said "I can appreciate that, show me someone elses so I can know what to expect."

As best I could tell for $500 they would do a bunch of quick books print outs which I can do myself.

mahlere

Whenever I get calls from someone who's selling something and they won't take no, I simply hang up on them- that's all. No need to keep listening to them and trying to make excuses, just hang up.

Bone Saw

my SOP for dealing with these is "hold on let me go get the boss", I set the phone down, and forget about it

running a saw (or impact drill) near the mouthpiece works too!

Chris Johnson

WOW, that's all I can say, went through the Rip Off Report and the Class Action. These guys are real scammers.
