Mr Mario you shouldn't bother trying to defend your scam operation with even more bureaucratic jargon. I just got a call from your enterprising young telemarketing fraud artists. If you're not the lowest example of company head, or if your company isn't the lowest most disgraceful sort of market participation conceivable by defrauding genuine enterprises and individuals, please explain how.
If not, pack up your cardboard offices and hang yourself by your shoelaces. :)

I signed up for the 8,000 line of credit card, and after reading all of this I would like to have my account canceled. Can't get a hold of anyone to cancel.
Ref# is 10182258.
Please cancel it.

I initially joined the NSBA for $1 and was told that I had 30 days to cancel the membership (which I wanted to use the $8000 credit line to help start up my business). I decided against the membership and returned the membership package without ever opening it the day after it arrived. I called the customer service line and I was told I would receive a credit to my account for the $149 they charged (which they told me initially they would not do) within 15 business days. This was in October of 2009. By the end of October I still had not received my money so I called again. I was told that they do not refund directly into the account, but that a check had already been processed and would be mailed out and I should receive it by the 30th of November. It never came. I called again on Dec 23rd and I was told that the $149 is "non refundable" and that my only option is to fax a letter to the manager named Romy. When I asked to speak with Romy, I was told that she will not be in until Monday. When I asked why I should fax her then I got silence. This is obviously a scam.

I did not authorize the debits to my account. When the rep called me, I initially said that it sound like something I might be interested in. He then played the prerecorded message, after which I did NOT say that I agreed to the terms. The rep then came back on the line and asked why I did not say yes. I told him that after listening to the terms & conditions it did not sound like something I would be interested in at this time. Yet my account has still been charged. I have contacted my bank, who has told me that the method used to charge my account is considered check fraud, since I did not authorize the "pre authorized" check.
Mr. Mario I have just called and left you a message. You're charges have put my account in the hole and may result in the closing of my business. If such an occurrence does happen, you can believe I will be sending my lawyer to see you.

[Bobby3]

Oh, by the way, since I never agreed to join, I never received a member #, so tell me what I need to do, please.

I was just contacted by this company today. I husband and I just opened a restaurant and we were actually considering this because the $8000 line of credit sounded great. I'm so glad I chose to research the company before signing up! If its too good to be true its usually a scam!

[mwargin]

After reading all of these complaints Dennis it definitely sounds like your business is a scam. As a small business owner myself I would NEVER put up with employees cursing at my customers. Seems to be a day to day thing with your company.

Nicely put!

ABSOLUTELY! Where are the proper people that governs these businesses. It's a bloody shame that people have to work so hard to stay in business these days and there you have people who sit around and scam us out of hundreds of dollars. They keep account numbers in there computer systems as if they are keeping a legitimate business. I do pray that these people will be caught.

[Callie1221]

You, dear Dennis Mario,180 N Luring? You need to start returning money. I didn't receive a single thing in the mail, you debited my account before the 30 days, your lady, Vanessa, answers the phone and is rude and says "we don't give out last names" (she said this before I knew what was going on) Im going to the Attorney General, and anyone else I can go to, to report this company, unless of course they can show me that they are honest, which is very doubtful... Nobody answers any of the numbers I have called... The FBI would be interested to know about this, too... I don't believe you will be in business long, or ever again, after you are investigated. I don't want on the "do not call list", I WANT YOU TO CALL! There is something I tell my children "If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough" I've been dumb, falling for your crap. You on the other hand, probably are dumb and you need to get REALLY tough where you are going!

[Callie1221]

File a complaint with the Department of Justice. That is what I'm doing! They steal money from bank accounts! They left a message on machine that I still have, that stated they were " National Small Business ASSOCIATION" NOT National Small Business Alliance. I have done a lot of research on this Dennis Mario, and it has really turned up smelling like fish, folks. I'm sucking up my loss to just being plain stupid but this guy needs to find out " when you're dumb, you better be tough" and I think he's going to have be extra tough where he is going.

[Callie1221]

They took 151.00 from my account without permission. I was suppose to get a "package" in the mail and have 30 days to look over it. National Small Business Alliance!! ARGH!! I hope that one day I have this guy as my patient...

[Callie1221]

Mr Mario I am still waiting for you to return all my money... ASAP!! I am filing complaints with every authoritative entity I can think of. Now I am hiring an attorney. You will be paying for him eventually...

I have gotten several calls from this nsba and finally I agreed to hear out this female (Alex). I had several questions and she answered most.. one of my questions was "is there any hidden fees?" she told me no the only fee would be one dollar $1 which would be taken out of my checking account just to verify I had a ligitimate business.. again I told her I didn't want any surprises down the road of fees being taken out of my account.. she was very polite and assured me there were no surprises and that they deal with millions of small businesses across the country.. I agreed and she put me on a recording which I subscribed.. 2 weeks later there was no card which I should have received (3-5 business days) and not only did they take the dollar out of my account they also took the liberty of trying to take 150 dollars from my account as well.. I called Alex back at her number 1-866-581-2498 and what a surprise she was on vacation and wouldn't be back until a week later but they gave me the number to call customer service because that was out of their control.. I called the customer service number they gave me (1-800-506-6722) and spoke to one of the reps there and explained that it has been over 10 business days and I have not received my card and that their company tried to take out 150 dollars from my accunt which I did not approve.. they said that I agreed to it during the recording and that they had the recording.. I disagreed and told them I only agreed to $1 to get drafted from my account.. the lady got pissed off and told me she would tell a supervisor to listen to the recorded call and call me back.. she then hung up on me.. I waited 5 days for a call from the supervisor and called back and they told me I had cancelled my account.. I asked to speak to a supervisor and got hung up on again.. I have tried calling back over and over and no one answeres the phone..
I would strongly advise you not to do any business with this company at all.. I have gone to the extent of closing my bank account and opening a new one..
This company will obviously practices a bait and switch.. offer you one thing and then will not give you anything but a headache.. $8000 pre approved credit without even knowing you or your credit.. come on!! Us as small businesses struggle as it is then we got these con artists calling to help you grow your business by giving you money which only has a 4.9% interest.. with $29 minimum monthly payments which go straight to the principal..
DO NOT LET THESE Thieves INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS!!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

[RigoLeal]

Company will only give you the runaround. You will never be helped.. this company tried to take $150 from my account without my consent.. will report to BBB.. Its all a scam.. don't take my word for it do your research and get an atty. To help you with your business decissions and to look over your contracts, trust me it will save you thousands of dollars, anxiaty, and headaches.. if you do not have one give me a call and ill help you in any way I can.. 956-534-0279 Rigo

[Callie1221]

They have tried to take more than the 1.00 and the 149.95, they are trying to take 1930.00 out now. I have to feed my children. I hope karma comes and bites them in the rear

[F2F2010]

DMario: I'm not really sure how you sleep at night. I was conned into "trying" your company as a brand new small business owner. My bank account has now been debited twice for the enrollment fee, and after almost two weeks, I have received NOTHING. I have left a message on the supervisor line (if this is even real and not a hoax like everything else), and I'm completely serious when I say that if I do not get a response TODAY with my money refund TODAY (every other business can refund money the same day, so you can as well), then I WILL be contacting my attorney and I WILL file a lawsuit against your company with your name mentioned. From the looks of the complaints on here, I shouldn't have any problems taking your company to court and having the court of law back me 100%. What you and your company are doing is FRAUD, and you have picked the wrong person to FRAUD! I am a single parent that takes my money very seriously because when you mess with my money, you are messing with my daughter's livelihood! I want my money back today, or you can speak with my attorney!!
