Same experience here with the Las Vegas BBB — they’re definitely covering for TSF — how distasteful is that! Would love to expose that situation as well.

As I mentioned in my previous post of 2/22, I enlisted the help of my credit card provider to get my money back (after reviewing all of my documentation, they debited TSF’s account and credited mine, and made sure that TSF could never re-debit my account). But I remain ready at any time to join any effort to shut these people down. It’s outrageous that these people are ABLE to continue doing what they are, with no intervention from any authority.

Those who have paid TSF by credit card should pursue the same remedy as I did.

i just filed a complaint with the BBB. after doing so, i checked their complaint history. The BBB has no record of a complaint being filed int he last 36 months!!! That makes me wonder about the BBB!!! I know people are filing complaints.

I think TSF was targeting web design companies, Stan, which is why I got the call. Web designers do not have the best reputation for integrity and follow-through, and adding TSF to the mix only worsens the problem. I would love to see you all start a class action!

I too am willing to participate in a class action. TSF didnt even get my sales script right. We are primarily a campaign media company for churches going through building programs. TSF sent us a sales script that advertised us solely as a web design company. I have been trying to collect my money for over six months only to navigate the same guantlet that the rest of you went through. My attorney has already written them a letter, which we are yet to get a response to. These people need to be shut down. Sign me up.

I too am willing to participate in any group effort to stop these people. I submitted my case and all supporting documentation to the credit card provider through which I initially made my payment, and they investigated and credited my account. Mary Ann and others, if you paid by credit card, you may wish to try the same. During the final weeks of my phone discussions with TSF, I actually recorded all the calls and TOLD them I was doing so (!), but it did not deter them from continuing to deal with me as they did!! While I now have been made whole financially, I remain committed to helping prevent others from becoming ensnared in TSF’s practices, if there’s a way…

Advice to anyone reading this blog BEFORE signing with TSF and paying them any money (which I wish I had had the smarts to have done): DON’T do it!

We’ve had the same awful experience described the others. Is there a way to file a class-action lawsuit? I would be willing to participate.

I have found TSF to be untruthful and disingenuous every step of the way. I too am chasing a refund (for half a year, when their contract clearly states 21 days) and being BSed at the most insulting level — I am astonished that these people have not been stopped and can continue as they do. Count me in as a willing participant in any effort to expose and stop this operation.

Why would Heather post this? Do people who had a “ruff start” search the web to post comments like this? I don’t think Heather’s comment passes the “sniff test.” Do you?

I too have worked with TSF Sales and as in almost all sales they have their down sides and it was a ruff start, but in the end they helped me land some major clients. I have a cleaning company. I did have to call a few times and ask “hey where are my appointments” but besides that, I had no problems. It’s not a scam. They find people who are interested in my services, but then it is my job to keep them interested. They are located in Las Vegas, NV (not a red flag, there are tons of companies in Vegas. It’s a major city in U.S. Like any other, it just happens to have mostly entertainment.) and if you have doubts about them, they will give you client to contact whom you can talk to.
Thank you for your time,
Heather.

@Arelia – good to know you left the ‘dark side’. If you remember who I am, you remember we had some ‘words’ together. I understand now you were probably under some serious pressure.

Anyone else out there, I can confidently say that my experience with TSF Sales / TSF Enterprises has been the worst experience of my very successful 3-year business. They really make you feel like throwing up…
