Not happy with service

Nov 30, 2021

The assistant assigned to me claimed to be an expert. I needed help setting up my Etsy shop.

Three days after giving 123 nearly $600 for 40 hours of work, the assistant wants me to advance him $200 to work at home. At first, I was impressed with his work, but then I started to notice that he was not doing enough work to justify the money I paid him. He filled up my store with mostly Christmas mugs, 29 of all the same design.

Another time of advancing him $150 which cost $10 to send by PayPal, in the first 2 days all he did was 4 posts. I will never hire these people again.

User's recommendation: Do not hire this company, they don't even give you a chance to interview different assistants first to make your own choice.

123Employee.com Is A Ripoff Company

Jul 21, 2015

123Employee.com Is A Ripoff Company - Image 2

I was lead to this company as a bonus offer I accepted from an affiliate offer. The affiliate stated it was giving me a free virtual assistant, and a link from them took me to 123Employee.

However, as I inquired with them they told me what I was offered was only a certain amount off a package I had to purchase. They attempted to upsell me on a higher service for VA (virtual assistant) hiring. I refused, letting them know I don't earn that amount of money.

I did, however, opted to use their service of article writing, which I noticed was only $11.00, so I entered my credit card number for THAT service ONLY! Actually, I wrote the article myself and all I wanted them to do was just "tighten" it up a bit...or so I thought. I then received an invoice (#56875) dated April 6, 2015, which was fine with me.

When the article came back though, it was worst than when I had initially sent it to them, so I returned it for correction. It came back to me again STILL with the Filipino MISUNDERSTANDING of words and terms, so I just made the adjustments myself; I made a note never to use this service again.

After that, I started receiving emails for all different types of services. In other words, they had me in what's called a "funnel" in network marketing terms. In this funnel, one is subject to receiving one offer after another sent automatically from an autoresponder.

Lo and behold, on June 3, 2015 I received another invoice, and thought it may be just a follow-up copy of the $11.00 invoice for the article writing. Much to my surprise, however, this invoice (#58397) dated June 3, 2015 was for a WHOPPING $397.00, an amount I, as a partially disabled Army veteran living off a paltry, fixed monthly VA disability check, can ill-afford.

I've made steps to obtain a refund but up to now have received nothing but emails saying they've attempted to contact me. I called AGAIN today (323-214-****) and left a message with a woman calling herself Kim (kim.mclain@***.com). I also cc'd the following: Davin Michaels, davenmichaels1@***.com, Phoebe Heather billing@***.com, as well as the standard billing dept email address - billing@***.com.

In short, going through what I have up to now with this company sends up many red flags and lets me know this is a company NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

I'm a former VA of 123Employee and I definitely agree with this one. It may sound free at first but project managers will upsell you for higher VA service giving reasons like you need to upgrade because your VA need to work more so you could earn money, since you subscribed for a program which made you think you could earn then you feel you need to upgrade your VA service.

One thing you didn't know that the VA IS NOT trained (properly) for the program you subscribed and you will just notice sooner that your program doesn't work and you feel you need to cancel. . then the project manager will somehow convince you to give another shot and change VA (but the thing you didn't know is that they will just hire new VA with a script with confidence to tell you that they are experienced so they could win your trust back). And the articles?

we are just using Article spinners online for free and just correct few mistakes thats why the content sucks. 123 Employee has good VA's before, I could even consider myself one of it. . but the company doesn't know how to keep us to the point the one client sees how good the VA is, they definitely hire it outside 123 and give best offer.

123 just give their VAs $6 not per hour but per day. .yes per day, and If there are still VAS left there.

. Im sure its not good as we are before.

This is LAME

This is so lame. I have been a client of 123Employee for nearly 5 years.

I have 3 agents that I hired after seeing Daven Michaels speak at an event in Orlando. Over the years of course we have had a few issues as this is a people business and people will make mistakes, BUT the staff at 123Employee ALWAYS make it right. Honestly this is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with and I love all the content Daven and his team sends. I give them a big thumbs up.

Thanks everyone at 123 Employee. You rock.

I would agree, this is lame. I have used 123 off and on over the last couple years for data entry.

I have been happy.

Pretty sure my life is awesome because of these guys!

Jun 22, 2015

Obviously that bad review is full of lies posted by a competitor... The competitor even had their own VA draft this (basing this off the poor grammar).

I've been using 123Employee for a little over a year now and my single VA has almost doubled my business (software engineering) by posting all these blogs and youtube videos that funnel people to my site and the VA filters my opportunities so I only focus on hot prospects. Say what you want about them but their service is amazing and I doubt I would ever have an American employee treat me with such respect. Oh and my employee seems to provide quite well for her family and very happy with her income. So pretty *** sure this is BS!!!

Want some financial freedom and more time on your hands?

Give these guys a shot! They *** changed my life!!

Request to Cancel with no response.

Jun 24, 2015

I purchased this program through a webinar hosted just this past Thursday night, June 18th, 2015. I didn't necessarily have a problem with them or their product until I attempted to contact them to cancel within my 3 day right of rescension on Monday, June 22, 2015, not even taking into consideration their 30 day return policy.

I left several messages. Mind you, up until this point I had only received my purchase confirmation. I was told only one person by the name of Kim could process my cancellation and refund. Of course she wasn't available, so I left three separate messages with other reps and even emailed her directly.

All of a sudden I received a welcome email and a call from LJ, the one in the webinar. She was very nice and that gave me hope. I explained to her I wanted to cancel and she stated she would take care of it for me and should receive an email confirmation by that afternoon. I waited until the afternoon of the next day and still no confirmation.

I tried calling and of course her voice mail continued to pick up after the first ring all day long during business hours. I left another message and all of a sudden another email showed up about building a list from them. The same email was sent just the day before. I was going to cancel with hopes to return to use their services later when I was a bit more ready for it.

Now, however, they have left a very bad taste in my mouth. I am concerned that their delay tactics are not an accident but an attempt to delay my cancellation with hopes I will change my mind. This is poor customer service and I don't know that I can trust them with my business.

I still have not received an email confirming my cancellation/refund as of this entry.

I paid for the service at 123employee.com of a virtual assistant (VA) for $997.00/per. I gave the VA and the organization was given access to my personal information, accounts, and passwords.

During the first official month of service 123employee.com chose to fire my VA because she accessed my personal information and attempted to contact me outside of the organization for employment.

The VA attempted to contact me multiple times and requested that I pay her directly. This violated my agreement with 123employee and I felt my personal information was in Jeopardy.

I asked for a refund from 123employee.com because my time was wasted from having to train and employee that they had left me in a very short time. 123employee refused to give me a refund and decided to not communicate with me regarding giving me a refund.

I have canceled my service with 123employee.com.

They still have not issued me a refund and they are just a big waste of time.

Let's set the record straight BY ACTUALLY TELLING THE TRUTH. How would you have access to anything from the FBI??

Hi, I did not know about this communication and Trey is not my employee, but he is your partner/affiliate. I have never met Trey before I signed up through his affiliate for 123Employee and I did not know who Trey was until I signed up after hearing an interview with him a Daven Michaels. AND I am of course not his Mom.

I think you are confused because we have similar last name. Although I beleive is last name is spelt with an "s". This is not my words or communication between you and your partner, Trey Woods. Trey Woods is an affiliate of 123employee.com.

I purchased your service through his affiliate link. In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), you are responsible for what your affiliate, Trey Woods says and does here. I want a full refund at this point. 123employee.com violated my trust and I intend to pursue this to the fullest extent until I get a refund.

Please reply with how you will send me a refund at least the fee of $997.00. I have not gone to the FTC yet, but I presume I will. Please just refund the money to my credit card.

Please just give me a refund you will continue to have to keep fighting with me and soon the FTC. Sincerely!

Lol. 123Employee is merely a scam. As far as the what I have know their CEO Daven Michaels tells lie to all the clients and for the upcoming clients. Daven Michaels never owns a company nor the 123Employee agents in the Philippines. He is just a marketer, he markets the 123Employee all over the globe as if it is owned by him.

here’s what the real situation of a client when they will subscribed to 123Employee.

Clients are classified into categories. These are the normal clients who paid the normal packages, Affiliated clients which are from the affiliates of 123 such as the jack bosch, Anthony morrison (fast cash commission), The Lyttle sisters and many more from their referrals partners, The VIP clients which are some clients from Daven Michaels’s personal coaching, The old and loyal clients and the big named companies. So when a client orders a package they will set an appointment then tackles about what are the clients concerns and wants for a VA to handle a specific tasks. Automatically the HR of 123Employee sited a project manager who can deal with it. (A project manager of 123employee are the senior employees who knows more than enough compare to an ordinary agent). So what the HR would tell to a client is :”The project manager is good and can deal to whatever the clients needs” afterwards the HR will pass the phone or set another appointment for the client to talk to the Project Manager. As if it is now set the client and the Project manager will now tackle what are the client’s need to be worked for. afterwards the Project manager will get an agent/VA to handle the client’s tasks. Then the tasks are now performed daily until the client surrenders in the services.

This is now the worst thing that happens in 123Employee. The Clients never know the real backgrounds of the VA’s because it is fake. The Information given are fake. example: The VA is in 3 years or more that has been working in the company, some educational backgrounds are not real, SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE are all lies. Infact 123Employee never had a special training on their VA/AGENTS. 80% of their agents are new. Agents can handle clients even their status are just trainees with a daily compensation of 100PHP or $2 per day. All answer and suggestions will depend on their senior agent or PM’s which has more experience than the new Agents. Somehow their End Day Report are fake and edited.

Their pricing is to high but they can’t give enough compensation to their Employees who worked for them.

Salary calculation:

normal agents:

$7 dollars per 8 hours shift – can be deducted if have some lates.

10 percent night difference since the employees are working 12midnight till 9Am Philippine time.

additional $25 if complete attendance without 3 lates for the whole month cycle.

SO approximately $200 per month salary if you get the $25 incentives. However their are some deductions made such as some insurance. then the payout time is divided every 2weeks so a normal will only get less than $100 every 15 days. How cruel it is.

Those are just SOME of the info’s I have from them.

So all I can say to them is THEY ARE DISGUSTING.

I have been using virtual assistance since 2007 and am VERY HAPPY with my experiences with 123employee.com. I trust 123 and their team. I trust the VA that I interviewed and hired.

I have had full time assistance for years who have helped me in many ways. I have more time and can delegate the repetitive tasks that take up much of my day.

The assistant that I have right now has been with me since 2010. Today he arrived 20 minutes early and greeted me through Google Hangouts (chat). I was overloaded with tasks today, so he delightfully extended his work day with me for one additional hour.

Every few months I express my gratitude and send a small bonus $20 (a US $20 bonus is HUGE once it is exchanged into PH currency) or so which means allot to the VA. 123employee gives 100% of bonus money directly to my VA.

123 provides my VA with a computer, high speed Internet, his IT support, a phone, cubicle etc.. I had my VA print out maps of the areas I work and put them in his cubicle so that he is familiar with the California cities that we are dealing with.

Here are some tasks that I trust my VA to do:

-billing.. he takes my notes in Evernote and copies them into a Quickbooks invoice. He tallies the billable hours (perfectly) and selects the proper customer and appropriate trip charges. If the customer has a payment on file with us, he processes the payment and applies it to the invoice.

-paperwork such as filling out forms such as rebates, tax forms, applications. He prints them to my printer once I approve them.

-make phone calls.. call vendors, competitors for market research, tech support, phone companies, follow ups on everything.

-do research via Internet.. for example, call 4 vendors and check stock and price

-pay bills such as credit cards, phone bills, vendor bills, etc.

-RMA (return merchandise).. check with Dell and get credit for a part that we don’t need. Print a UPS label to my printer so that I can affix to the box and drop off.

-make purchases after researching.. for example Toner, headsets

I could go and on. If you are new to VA’s, it is important to make a list first of the tasks you wish to turn over and when they setup a few interviews, see which candidate an fill all of your needs.

I just wanted to put in my feedback. I hope that this helps.

-VERY HAPPY, LONG TERM CLIENT!

Lets set the record straight here. This comment was posted by Rosetta Wood. Our client was Trey Wood. Mom paid the bill

We take stealing clients and employees very seriously at 123Employe. 123 has spent millions of dollars on infrastructure to build our company and we take very serious measures when it comes to protecting our business.

In the early days when we opened there was not broadband internet in homes in the Philippines. Now that there is internet in homes it has created an adversarial relationship between our employees and our clients. Obviously there is an incentive for our clients to run away with our employees. Our clients can save a little money and the employee gets lured away with the enticement of possibly making more money. We rarely have this issue as most of our clients and prospects are honest, but a few are not.

When Trey signed up for our serivces he received this disclaimer:

Terms and Conditions :

Internet security laws are very strict in the Philippines to protect the interests of clients like you and companies like 123Employee that invest millions of dollars in facilities and training.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE: if a VA attempts steal you OR if YOU try and lure / steal one of your employee away from 123Employee your agent is liable for prosecution and imprisonment. Per Philippines law, it is considered THEFT and taken extremely seriously.

Reminder: As part of our service agreement you have agreed NOT to attempt to steal the client away from 123Employee. Any attempt to do so can result in legal action and a penalty of $12,000 equivalent to 12 months of full time service.

In addition, all our employees sign before doing our clients tasks. All virtual assistants sign company documents that state we will take legal action for:

* Leaking confidential data

* Client data theft

* Client theft (if a Virtual Assistant attempts / or steals a client from 123Employee)

* Misuse and sharing of client data

Clients can request that their Virtual Assistant can sign NDA's with if required.

This is a chat transcript obtained by the NBI the Philipines equivelant of the FBI, between you and our former agent:

Honestly this is embarrassing on so many levels. Looks like Trey was looking for a new girlfriend.

We have a strict no leniency rule when it comes to full prosecution with the NBI. This is a federal cyber chrime in the Philippines. The agent was arrested.

A few times a year an employee or client tries to steal each other and we have no choice but to prosecute.

We hope that Trey plans to employ his agent for a long time as she will pretty much be unemployable in the Philippines.

It pains us to do this, but unfortunately we have no choice. This record will follow our former agent for life. Every time she applies for a job etc. this will show up on her background check.

This situation is very unfortunate. What usually happens with freelancers in the Philippines is that that the employee ends up having a power, infrastructure, internet or family problem and then everybody looses. Unfortunately, your case will probably be no exception to this rule.

In addition to this, the embarrassment to her family will probably be even worse. Most Filipinos take great pride in their work. We understand that our former agent tried to recruit Trey, but it doesn’t matter, you had a choice.

Ultimately it’s the agent that pays and that is a true shame. Trey will move on, find other employees, but she will always have to pay the consequences for this very poor decision. We are still considering pursuing action against Trey in the US. Thank you.
