You’ve heard the stories of people finding success with an online business, but you don’t know how to get started. You have dreams of owning your own successful business. Tafiti Consulting is scam of a company which promises to deliver a full range of products and services that can assist you with creating a successful online business. Knowing how overwhelming it is to start a business, especially to new business owners. Tafiti Consulting prays on this feeling.
Recently, I was approached by a company Concepts Execution claiming to be a mentoring program,step by step hand holding 100% certified to make more money (by joining the program). The program costs a minimum $ 2,000. I paid my fee in full as soon as possible. This company works hand in hand with Tafiti Consulting and possibly the same organization.
The following week after processing the paperwork (money) The “mentor” contacts me and gives me some very generic questions about my expectations “goal”. And that was about it with the phone call. As Melissa the “mentor” rescheduled another appointment to call and asked me to make a list of my interests. After this call I really started worrying about this program the people seemed very much unaware of how to market “today’. Needless to say I tried being patient waiting for the all important training, hand holding & it never came. The Last call I received from my mentor I was being transferred to the green group and she was going out of town …Possibly on my cash investment??
I complained to the company and their answer was that the agreed upon eight weeks was finished and if I wanted more time then I could pay for it. I believe this company then sells your information to other unscrupulous companies like Tafiti Consulting/Concepts Execution/Media Learner LLC or whatever they are calling themselves this week.This company approached me regarding this mentor ship program through an affiliation to Rachel Ryan Stay at Home System at the time. I would recommend avoiding Tafiti Consulting for these reasons and basically due to the overall negativity associated with this company and its major partners.
By the way, you should dispute those charges with your credit card company. I have done exactly that..But I can not say it works because I have not gotten my money back.But at the very least the I would put in a complaint. Don’t worry about trying to be kind to this company. This company is still doing business on the internet and still taking advantage of people. I may not get my money back but I feel better knowing I will possibly be helping the next guy or gal by making this company change their evil ways.This company is clearly taking full advantage of their clients.
I hope this company’s shifty tactics become evident to more and more people in the online community so that they cannot continue such practices without being shunned by potential customers.

HI Kathy-
Stay as far away from Tafiti Consulting as you can. They are scammers of the worst kind.
I made the terrible mistake of signing up to process rebates with Angela Penbrook or Angel Stevens or however, she is this week. Angela was a scam and then your information is then sold to other businesses like Tafiti.
They are slick and very high pressure. They prey on the naive (like I used to be).
I did not have to pay their fee of $3500. only be cancelling my credit card. I also was being charged $39.95 a month for a website that I could never access any more than the wonderful videos that were suppossed to help instruct me. I can't believe that credit card companies take their side in these disputes.
I have read other people's problems with Tafiti and some of them have had to pay over $10000. WOW!! FOR WHAT?
I am so glad to be rid of these people and I can't help but notice the people I dealt with are no longer listed. Maybe they developed a conscience and got out.
I hope this helps.

For all those scammed by Tafiti, as I was, why not file a class action suit against them.. If interested post here, I will get a website up and running in a couple of weeks and will be the front man on the lawsuit..

I guess I am the most worst at being scammed. I give Tafiti $9710.00 to provide me with my own website business. After 6 months and many hours of my hard work, I have nothing. I need help to get my money back.

Dawn,
The sad truth is;there are so many company's taking advantage of consumers.
I was unsuccessful in getting my money returned.They are sneaky and obviously need to be stopped.
They promised one on one training and I had gotten 2min conversations maybe 2-3 times.My "mentor" had no clue about internet marketing.
That being said,at this moment I have chalked it up to a lesson learned.
Don't let what they have done to you derail you from what you know is possible.
Thanks for your comment!
Kathy
