GroProject Scam – The Opinions & Views of Past & Present Users

Is Shopping Cart Elite compliant? Ask for the results. It is your responsibility as a business owner to know.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a worldwide information security standard assembled by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). The standard was created to help organizations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud through increased controls around data and its exposure to compromise. The standard applies to all organizations which hold, process, or pass cardholder information from any card branded with the logo of one of the card brands.

Validation of compliance can be performed either internally or externally, depending on the volume of card transactions the organization is handling, but regardless of the size of the organization, compliance must be assessed annually. Organizations handling large volumes of transactions must have their compliance assessed by an independent assessor known as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), while companies handling smaller volumes have the option of self-certification via a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). In some regions these SAQs still require signoff by a QSA for submission.

Enforcement of compliance is done by the bodies holding relationships with the in-scope organizations. Thus, for organizations processing Visa or Mastercard transactions, compliance is enforced by the organization’s acquirer, while organizations handling American Express transactions will deal directly with American Express for the purposes of compliance. In the case of third party suppliers such as hosting companies who have business relationships with in-scope organizations, enforcement of compliance falls to the in-scope company, as neither the acquirers nor the card brands will have appropriate contractual relationships in place to mandate compliance. Non-compliant companies who maintain a relationship with one or more of the card brands, either directly or through an acquirer risk losing their ability to process credit card payments and being audited and/or fined.

You had a long day at work?  Sit in traffic on the way home?  Worry  about life and money? You finally make it home to the family and sit down for dinner going over everyones day and have a nice time. Then during this precious time the telephone rings and you get up to answer this interuption……………..to find out it is some IDIOT Pitching a Business proposition that you can not pass up on “one time only” “today only” yata yata yata….and all the other promises proposed for only?????? $$$$$$$

This is the present ongoing problem that setuno inc, shopping cart elite and gro project venture have become… “TELEMARKETERS”  — yes, those annoying never ending losers that got your home number or cell and always know the wrong time to call you.  BEWARE OF THIS SCAM – FRAUD – RIPOFF being offered to you.

Telemarketing has been negatively associated with various scams and frauds, such as pyramid schemes, and with deceptively overpriced products and services. Fraudulent telemarketing companies are frequently referred to as “telemarketing boiler rooms” or simply “boiler rooms.” Telemarketing is often criticized as an unethical business practice due to the perception of high-pressure sales techniques during unsolicited calls. Telemarketers marketing telephone companies may participate in telephone slamming, the practice of switching a customer’s telephone service without their knowledge or authorization.

Telemarketing calls are often considered an annoyance, especially when they occur during the dinner hour, early in the morning, or late in the evening.

A recent trend in telemarketing is to use automated messages in a sales pitch. These often include intentionally deceptive tactics, with computer recorded messages saying things like “Don’t panic but this is your final notice” or “We have already attempted to contact you through the mail.” These messages are often outright lies, intended to incite concern or fear in the potential customer.

Work-at-home and telecommuting scams are common. Some of these job offers are scams appealing to a “get rich quick” audience but in fact require an investment up front with no pay off at the end. The problem is so pervasive that in 2006 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) established Project False Hopes, a federal and state law enforcement sweep that targets bogus business opportunity and work at home scams. The crackdown involved more than 100 law enforcement actions by the FTC, the Department of Justice, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and law enforcement agencies in 11 states. In four of the new FTC cases alone, consumers lost more than $30 million. “Bogus business opportunities trample on Americans’ dreams of financial independence,” said FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras. “If a business opportunity promises no risk, little effort, and big profits, it almost certainly is a scam. These scams offer only a money pit, where no matter how much time and money is invested, consumers never achieve the riches and financial freedom promised.

The FBI warned of such scams on February of 2009, as well.

Of the 3 million+ web entries that surface from a search on the terms “work at home,” over 95% of the results are scams, links to scams, or other dead ends. Work at home scams earn over $500 million a year. Home business scams account for another $250 million/year. Even the sites that claim to be scam-free, often feature ads that link to scams.

According to Christine Durst, there is a 48-to-1 scam ratio among work at home job leads on the internet. This statistic has been used in coverage by Good Morning America, CNN, Business Week, and The Wall Street Journal.

As we look around at many Ecommerce shopping carts and different types of businesses on the web, it is funny that usually the companies that develop technology usually use it for themselves as a marketing point and to display it to the potential customers that they are confident in their technology or products.

Far from this in the case of Mimousa and Auto Accessory Store. In some recent post’s in our FORUM we have noticed a particular thread that discusses them NOT USING the Shopping Cart Elite technology. Their reason is “everyone else will suffer”. This seems to be an excuse as they do not have enough confidence in what they offer to their potential customers. It may be good enough for the general public (you) they are selling this turnkey business too and take money from but not use it themselves?. This would be like the Owners & developers from CRE Loaded, Magento and OScommerce not using their own Shopping Cart Technology that they spend countless hours developing. We have linked to the above Ecommerce Shopping Carts to their FORUMS for your own Analysis, Questions and Views.

There is much hype from the sales and marketing team from the company (setuno inc) about what this cart can do, how supposedly great it is, perfect for conversions, seo, the data, the back office tools, functions, automation, design, how much money your going to make from it and the rest of the technology, (plus how they state they figured the perfect algorithms  for ranking from google, yahoo and bing)  the problem is most of these ideas are just ideas and not even a stable built reality yet, and the company themselves do not have confidence in it to use for their own retail website (autoaccessorystore.com) or their wholesale distribution website (mimousa.com) where they offer Wholesale Drop Ship Auto Parts & products. People mostly fail from their customer service, Manufacturing and shipping. Read this post

As of 08/05/09 these sites are as you see them in the images, on another platform and not on the shopping cart technology they are trying to develop and profit from. On or about May 2009 this issue was challenged by Gro project users (Business Owners) and the answer from a shopping cart elite owner had gotten redirected with an excuse that was copied and can be read extensively in our FORUM.

If you sell Aftermarket Car Accessories, Performance Car Parts, Marine & Boating Equipment or are just looking for a Wholesale Parts Distributor or Shopping Cart Platforms for your new or existing Business then sign up on our FORUM. We are putting together Industry contacts lists and information for your business to further succeed.

Now we are not completely knocking down the above company or information but from a business management standpoint this company has a “get them in and out”  reputation and thinking process with no control and a cloudy business plan. Like most MLM and Ponzi schemes there is a sense of hope being sold to people with only Projected large returns back as long as you invest now.

You can use many shopping carts and have certain aspects changed for conversions and optimization. CRE Loaded has a great shopping cart and is PCI Compliant, it also has the ability to make these changes with ease. Join our FORUM to find out more or add your own ideas and experiences for others to learn from.
