I apparently ordered/downloaded an online business tool; however, I have no idea what they are talking about. I do not have an online business and would not have agreed to monthly charges. There have been two charges on my account for $69.95 and one charge for $2.95, their "trial software" I supposedly purchased. These charges have caused my account to become overdrawn and bank charges have been incurred. I spoke with a supervisor who informed me that I didn't read the fine print. I cannot even find a page in my web history that shows I visited their site. I never received any software or a confirmation email, which they said I was sent. I looked on all my downloads and nothing. They have only agreed to refund one of the $69.95 charges. I am going to see if that happens then I will pursue the rest. This sucks my time, energy and money and just sucks period.

hey everyone i'm surprised to find this forum because i am a current i speedway user and the results are nothing short of phenomenal.

Hey Aussie, It sounds like you are the only one with anything good to say about iSpeedway. I am optimistically excited about this, Hoping it is not a huge mistake. Was a little nervous about it anyway, now that I tripped across this site, I am really nervous. I jumped into it with both feet (Platinum) and invested the maximum. I believe that you have to invest money to make money. They are still developing my web-site so I obviously have not seen anything yet. If you don't mind, give me a shout at my e-mail. Would be interested in chatting with you more about it. Not sure if I want to believe all of iSpeedway's alleged success stories. [email protected]. Thanks, look forward to hearing from you.

THIS WORKS! DON'T GIVE UP! I reluctanly signed up and have found some success. It does take work, though. You need to do your homework. It is not a "get rich quick" opportunity, like they might make it sound like. However, I am making about $1500 per month using Internet Speedway. Although most of my profit comes from my own products, the resources they offer are helpful it you use them and work. Yes, it does help if you have a little bit of money to start. Yes, there are people who will fail. But isn't that with anything else too?

I recently purchased Internet Speedway and didn't make the commitment I needed to get the service working for me. But I did call Internet Speedway and was going to cancel the order but I was passed the 30 day return and only have one more payment of 69.99 to make. So I figured since I have let it go this far...makes no sense to stop now with the money I have invested now, which isn't much to some but could be used somewhere else. So they gave me a free upgrade and put together a 500 item store.
I was playing around on the internet today and saw this forum, seen good and bad feedback. So basically I am asking the ones with good feedback to assist me with some positive feedback and some helpful ideas to get the store up and running and some help with computer side of the business and what is useful info related the technical side of the store. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
rutjr

What I dont understand is how I got a freakin' thing in the mail telling me I owe $180 to Internet Speedway, FROM A COLLECTIONS AGENCY nonetheless. I never signed up for "internet speedway". I have no idea how they got my name and address, but now they want me to pay them? this is such bull****!

Hello everybody. I hope EVERYONE who is considering to sign up with Internet Speedway reads this post first.

After reading this entire thread, I felt so bad. I felt really really bad actually, for everybody in here. Why? Simply because I USE TO WORK THERE!
Yup, the truth. I worked for Internet Speedway for a VERY VERY short period of time. I needed a job, and I was looking into tech support, so I signed up with a temp agency who set me up with ispeedway.

BIGGEST mistake of my life. That job is not even on my resume. I am now a network admin with a respectful company and I am glad I got out of that shithole. Ok story of my life.l

That being said, DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM. They ARE scammers, and Aussie IS an employee there (or was) while I was working there, and he DID come in here to give good words about ispeedway to try to change your mind.
They are thieves, and they will take your hard earned money from you in a hearbeat.

After 2 weeks of working for them, I found out what the company was about and quit without even giving any notice. A big ***** to them. I was desperate for money, but not desperate enough to steal from other people.

PS: Something that will help you guys, DO TAKE LEGAL ACTION!!! When you take legal action they WILL REFUND YOUR MONEY!
I refunded as many people as I could the day before I quit. Hopefully those went through.

George White, the floor manager (OOOOOOH, for what? 3 people who work there on the phones??? Yes, you talk to the SAME people over and over and over) IS a liar. If you talk to them about getting your refund, he will LIE to you and say that there is NO WAY you will get your money, and that you AGREED TO THE USER AGREEMENT ***** note before you paid the $10. But do NOT believe him. If you take legal action, THEY WILL refund you. They have to, or else the entire company will go down for being SCAM ARTIST ******!!!

To retracd:

"They are still developing your site"????
Guess what, your site is already made. THey make it seem like they are working on it. They make it seem like they know what they're doing, but guess what? Whether you have platinum, gold, or silver, your website looks ABSOLUTELY the same.
When I said it is ALREADY MADE, I am not joking. They have premade websites, they just pick one, and assign it to you. No custom work was done.
You have been scammed.

STAY AWAY FROM INTERNET SPEEDWAY, HOW ***** HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND???
DO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND ENGLISH? I USE TO WORK FOR THEM AND I TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

Hello,
I to tried internet sppedway. While I admit I didn't give it a full opportunity, I just wanted to sell products on e-bay and couldn't figure out how to do that because i was afraid of the costs associated with their e-bya listing progran. AHHHH!!! I canceled it, but it did cost me more than it should have and I didn't make anything. Now, I have found a couple other methods that actually work.

I got bitten by Speedway too. Failed to check them out before giving information--cancelled after three days, have not received cd yet. Will change credit card #s tomorrow. Hope it is only $10 so far. I just wanted to build a website to market my hobby interests. Think I will raise mushrooms--and eat them all myself.

My question is for those that have had success working with IS. Why don't you post a link to your websites so we can see your products and pricing ourselves.

I recently had an experience with Internet Speedway. I heard their too-good-to-be-true radio ad and called for the "free" 10-dollar CD. Once I learned about the charge, I got into a debate with the salesperson. He tried to convince me to "just try" a debit card that I knew was at $0. I kept telling him that I'd call back when I got paid, and that's when the pressure tactics began. Like Oprah always says: If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and looks like a duck, IT'S A DUCK! My spirit tells me that something's fishy at IS. Buyer beware! I'll keep looking for a great business opportunity or will create my own. It's better to "look before you leap"....in every area of your life. God bless!

heres my update.
i recieved my package wich i told them to cancel.
i still havnt recieved my 9.95 refund(i understand that there will be no refund).
i quickly realised that the activation code was "already used".
i e-mailed them and still have not recieved a response.
1 week later.
so i am 3 weeks into my trial and i cant even try the program for myself.
however, my "sponsor did call me to help me get started with my program.
he didnt know i havnt been able to activate my account.
he also didnt know i recieved an email earlier before talking to him,that my account had been "cancelled".
i never activated in the first place!
even if they are not a scam, they certainly are very un-organised!

emanjungle,

Sorry you experienced that sort of difficulty. They really acted like a typical scam outfit. You might contact the BBB and the Attorney General. You might also call American Express.

Perhaps one of these entities can act on your behalf.
