Consumer complaints Investigation:
WSI, a privately-owned company is legitimately established and is forthcoming about its location, identities of theirsenior management and its franchise opportunity. The company discloses any and all information about their operations to ensure the highest customer/franchise confidence.
Most complainants investigated to date by consumer complaints appear to be competitors or ex-employees, although 3 of the consumer complaintss had complete, bona fide contact information. WSI is actively working to resolve those cases. In many cases IP addresses of individuals "claiming" to be from the United States or from various countries internationally, but were actually found to be posted in Toronto, Canada - indicating reports were most likely filed maliciously and falsely under various identities, but were actually from the same group of only a few individuals.
WSI has experienced rapid growth. In the past it experienced some growing pains with respect to customer responsiveness, but has overcome it with additional support capability and improved customer service, systems and processes.
They appear to be a caring company - They work with and for kids around the world showing goodwill and financial support through many charitable organizations.
The company maintains strong reputable business partners, who help them enhance their operations and support; which includes IBM, Oracle and Price Waterhouse Coopers.
They pledge to fully address each and every person who has a bona fide complaint about them utilizing recommendations set forth in the consumer complaints Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, which WSI is participating in fully.

NOW TO THE ORIGIONAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
=====================
A franchise that only focuses on getting your 50K to open an Internet Consulting Franchise.
They conduct numerous interviews to make you think that you are being qualified to run a high tech, high demand product that will sell itself. They claim that there is little competetion for thier services, and they throw numbers of success at you that they don't dare publish anywhere.
Once you are suckered and pay up, things change dramatically!! They have been advertising that they have 700 franchisee's in 87 countries for 2 yeats now!!! When I went to training, there were at least 50 new franchisees in my class, and they do this twice a month!!! That to me is 1200 new franchisees a year!!!
Thier production costs are not competitive, yet they claim that you can mark up the client 5-10 times. This means that they expect you to sell a basic website that they charge $800 to develop to your client for 4k -8k!!! People look at me like i'm nuts!!!
You will not be able to sell these products and services to any competent business people... stay away from WSI.
I am wondering if anyone has attemped to get thier 50K back. They protect themselves diligently, probably because they have to. I would love to join a class action... Anyone with me??
