Cornerstone Marketing Solutions,LLC - Buyer Beware!

I too got scammed by Cornerstone Marketing Solutions in Phoenix,Az after buying a website from Cornerstone Equity. I was suppose to be marketing mortgage products. After purchasing the website, a representative from Cornerstone Marketing Solutions contacted me about buying a fast track marketing package to promote the site. Unfortunately I took the bait to the tune of $8500.00! After only a short time, I noticed the marketing was not on the up and up. When I pressed for answers, I was ignored. For almost a year now I have been trying to get my money back. I've retained an attorney.

this company goes by many names it seems. They were also known as US Merchant Solutions/F.Marketing-Websites4America.

Be aware of this business as well. Mr. Dan Stenson is the head of the *** group, he along with a Bernard Haynes, Justin Walker and Kevin Lewis. They seem to be the top brass of this group of *** artists.

Beware of them and save yourself a lot of grief.

They stole over 20,000 dollars from me and I'm still trying to get my money back. :(

To Anon. & Cid50,

They are still going on hurting good people. Check out = how to report fraud on Google (in your respective states). Sorry to hear of your loss. I am now aware of many with the same problem....myself included. Shameless bait and switch artists. A few 90 yr. old victims I am aware of. Google Bankcard Empire or Leslie Mersky. Also in Phoenix and apparent connection with Economic Freedom corp. and their related scammers.....Websites4America / Cornerstone Marketing.

Call me... 808-982-****

Cornerstone marketing solutions LLC the biggest thieves of the centuries. Around sometimes in August 2008 I was looking for Job.I received a Phone call From Cornerstone Marketing Solutions LLC. Promises to help with my financial situations. I signed up with them.the first call they offer me a package for 419.95. than they call next day, they said if I want to make Money I need to advertise. they offered a package for 6999.95. I said I don't have that kind of money. then they offered at 4995 dollars. I decided to do business with Cornerstone Marketing solutions LLC. after less than a month I decide to applied for mortgage refinance. no feed back, when I find out It was a bogus. I sent letter to them to let them know my intent to cancel the contract. they did not respond to my letter. I went to prepaid legal to follow up with them for refund. they refused to pay the money back. they left me with a 5185 dollars bill through American Express. Anybody who receive phone call from those please run this is very serious matter. please hear me.

YES, I'm pretty sure they've gone to ground. Though they were telling me how few complaints, and that there are 1000's of happy customers.....just a couple of days ago, and trying to re-sell me on their systems.

I am not positive, but EFC appears to be closed. The Phoenix postal inspector is starting an investigation and they told me it is associated w/ bankcard empire. The efc site is not coming on, and the one phone # I was getting to a person on is on constant busy or turned off? And another # is not in service. Both Phoenix and Las Vegas #'s are dis-connected.

Justin Johnson is the most rude *** business man I've ever encountered ... the poster child for a criminal LIAR! John Hanson of WEBSITES4AMERICA, aka Cornerstone mkt'g acted nice, and says God Bless and all.....but sorry guilt by association, and he did tell me to profit by hanging in for the long run, and fought my credit card dispute and won.

Just thought you should know. And keep the complaints going especially to the AZ. Att. Gen. and U.S. Postal inspector in AZ.

May I please keep my complaint against websites 4 america and cornerstone marketing solutions (as they are the ones my big $ went to aka F-marketing)? Though last I heard was EFC bought that co. from John Hanson......though so many stories that I can't verify was it true or not.

I guess this is beyond help? It is beyond outrageous that the government let this go on for so long with victims from over a year ago. Blessings to all injured by this inhumane rip-off! I know it is intentionally HURTFULL...!

This group of scammers took me for $26,000 but I am now fighting through the AZ and NE Attorney General's (AG) offices. Please take this to your state AG and AZ so they have a bigger and stronger case to pursue these crooks with.

File a case with your local police department on scams. I am also looking to find any class action lawsuits to get into to help recoup some of my loses.

YESTERDAY..7/27/10 I WAS RIPPED OFF OF #319.87 I CHARGED ON MY VISA CARD. I WANTED TO EARN MONEY.

THEY TOLD ME THAT ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SEND THEM 5 NAMES AND PHONE WONDERS PER WEEK....THE COMPANY CALLS THE PERSON WHO WANTS TO BUY A MACHINE THAT SWIPES THE CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS. AND I WILL GET A CHECK FOR 50% OF THEIR COST FOR THE MACHINE. WHAT CAN I DO NOW.

IS IT TOO LATE TO GET MY MONEY BACK? OR SHOULD I CALL MY CREDIT CARD PEOPLE AND TELL THEM I WAS RIPPED OFF.
