Hi, I was curious to know if this particular group affilliated with Coastal Vacations is a scam or is this a authentic company?

[Fr_Chuck]

Here are some links to statements from prior members who clain it is a ripoff or scam. I am not saying it is or is not, but there were a lot of compalints I found doing a web search

There was some info that linked them to these names: Success Synergy Systems, Nick Thomas, Prosperity Automated System
All of them appeared to have been sued in federal court, I can not say they are one in the same, this is only info from the internet I found doing searches for the company you listed.

I will say this they are selling a multilevel marketing sales position. And your job is to selll vacation packages to others, So if you like to sell, and like to promote ohters to sell. ( since that is where the money is, having others sell for you)

Any of the mutli level can work, ( nothing wrong with Amway, one of the older)

But if you are good at sales, you may do as well if you got into sales for some non mulitlevel company.

In all of these things, they are not going to do all the work for you, if they could, they would not need you. You are going to have to do the selling of these, vacations

Does anyone know anything about the Coastal Synergy Group? Is it legit or not?:rolleyes:

[Fr_Chuck]

You can do a search on this site for their name, there is a lot of negative information about them on the internet and a bad Better Business Bureau listing on them

I have no perosnal first hand info on them

I hope I am not too late and that you haven't signed up yet.
The idea of CSG is great but their product is NOT!
First off, all of their money exchanges is done by certified checks or money orders. So, if ever you are not happy, you won't be able to get your money back.
I didn't realize how lousy their travel package was until I started to use it for my own travel needs. It was one disappointment after another. Right now my package is sitting in the garage gathering dust while I am dealing with a travel agent to arrange a trip to Hawaii. Don't be fooled by their flashy ads, webcasts, etc.

The Coastal Synergy group, not a job... it is a business opportunity that enables, the average person to earn an above average income from the comfort of home, or anwhere else in the world, where there is an internet connection and a phone.

In business for yourself, but never by yourself.

It is a valid business opportunity. It is not MLM, but it is a 2 up.
Each associate is required to make 2 training sales, with the help of their director, who mentors and teaches them to become a successful Coastal Director, and in compensation for the much appreciated time and effort, that director retains those first two sales. Upon completion of that second sale, the associate is then given a Director's release.
That release means that the new director is forever qualified to profit from $1000 and up to $9,705 on every transaction.

I guess I goggle different than Rick does, but I can find pages and pages of info about them, and people who call them scams. Here is a couple

Warning: Coastal Vacations Call Center - CMG (Coastal Masters Group)

When you wish to find the negative about a company in a search put the company name and another word, sich as ripoff, cheat, illegal and you will find the negative things.

This does not mean they are good or bad, only that there has been many complaints

[smfishe]

Those Call centers are for people that don't want any control over their own business. The people that use them are in business for themselves, and by themselves, and letting somebody else run their business. And they are not apart of the CSG

Does anyone know anything about the Coastal Synergy Group? Is it legit or not?:rolleyes:

Yes the Coastal Synergy Group is Legit, and is the most lucritive business in the entire world, when comparing investment vs. capital gains.
There is a marketing system in place that does about 90% of the work, and a training, and support system that is second to none. Everything has been laid out in place, for each of it's members, to be able to succeed.
The wholesale travel package is awesome. Did you know that one of the cards allows you to become an independent travel agent? And that you can receive commissions on the vacations that you book for yourself, family, and friends?
The CSG is running two product knowledge calls per week, and will be premiering an online global theater presetation, just for the packages.
So Latonact.. your not telling the price of those money orders... a whopping $6.95 to activate a complementory vacation, or that they are life time memberships... According to you .you are a coastal member, but are you a Director?

[RickJ]

Coastal Synergy Group is Legit, and is the most lucritive business in the entire world, when comparing investment vs. capital gains.

Can you direct consumers to where they can find/verify this information?

smfishe,

You appear to be here for one single purpose:

I have long thought that the question asker and the person who answers these are working together for ad purpose, except they don't expect all the true negative things to be posted.

About two or three times a year we get a brand new member ask a very similar question, then in about one or two days a brand new member answers the question telling how great it is, but not giving any links or web sites ( and there are good sites, I only showed the bad, since it makes a person doubt about these) but there are company web sites from this company that makes them look great.

About 6 months ago I even got a few personal emails basically threatening me for my posts on here from a email address that would not accept any return mail.

So yes NeedKarma your opinion is also mine, but if this person is an employee or member of the group and they like it or believe in it, they have a right to post it here.

But I am amazed that the several times this company shows up, it is always from a new member and the positive answers is also always from a new member who joins only to say good things about this company.

It it looks like a fish, smells like a fish and swims like a fish, most likely it is not a cow

[RickJ]

Like with other complaints about companies on this site, people from the companies take note since this site has such awesome search engine recognition.

If you Google this company in quotes you get 793 hits. This thread is #11.
