I talked to my customer who lost the most money in this thing and while he made a promise not to discuss what the agreement was they did reach an acceptable agreement. I am calling my other customer to make sure he was taken care of as well.
I can tell you everyone here keeping this active has helped. Alan didn't back down and accept the first offer of "give us more $$$$ and we might give you something back"
If you where ripped off make a fair and reasonable offer. I think .50 on the dollar in product (not marketing) trade would be a fair win win for both sides. Not sure if thats what they have done but I would hope so.
I say this only because I hate seeing my friends ripped off. They have no love for me up north and frankly the more people they piss off the better for me. If money was my only motivation I would do everything I could to keep them from paying out and keeping you all mad but it just isn't that important.
I hope one day this will all be over and Scotty can come back. I actually miss him on here

For those of you here who KNOW me, you can take this for what it is worth..
I did not get involved because I was uncomfortable from the beginning. I talked to them and I took the tour. It was obvious that it was not actually Bridgepoint who was doing this. I'm not saying I'm smarter than those who invested, just more skeptical, or maybe nervous. Scott is a good friend of mine. I have known him for about 12 years. He is a good, and honest man. I would take a bullet for him as I would many other close friends. I really feel sorry for him. He is a technical advisor for Bridgepoint, and is not involved in sales, etc. I'm sure he was excited about the program, especially knowing that 90+% of us are BDCC's that don't know squat about real marketing. I feel especially sorry for him now, because he is a good guy and he is caught in the middle. He has to have some degree of loyalty to those who feed his family. On the other hand, I can guarantee you that he has suffered many sleepless nights, and has pain in his heart for those who are caught up in this.
I am not going to take up for Bridgepoint here. They did try to represent this as their baby. Scott on the other hand is trying to make everyone happy. Throw your punches at BP, but I will take a bloody nose for Scott. He is a great guy with a big heart. He is caught in the middle, and I can guarantee you that he will do what he can to help US, but those that you (and therefore HE) are fighting are the ones that sign his checks.
If people would try to work with him and not throw left jabs and right crosses his way, it would work out better for everyone. He is pretty much the liaison between the lowly CC and the BP people up in their ivory tower (which I'm sure they have had bullet proofed by now.)
Bottom line is Scott is my friend, and I will defend him. Not that it matters to you, but I have prayed for those of you who have lost money, and also for Scott because I KNOW his character. So there..

Dominick,
Steve and Caryn Cameron are loving it in Atlanta too.
We are obviously taking our time to get things perfect with MyEasyMarketing.com since at Jon-Don we offer a 100% refund on EVERYTHING we put our name on. Always. Period. No excuses. It really is that simple.

I seriously read the title and thought Scott got laid off from Bridgepoint. Tells you how bad the daily news is in my town. that is all I hear.
Scott had some great info for everybody here... I miss his knowledge but man he shouldn't have even said anything about the new "Bridgepoint direct" unless he was sure about the program... I won't say things here that I don't have experience with because it could influence others to make a wrong decision... That was the point that he should have held back and let it be known that it was not "Bridgepoint" that was doing the printing... I joined here in around April of last year and asked about BP printing and he still backed it!
All I ask is for them to make it right and I will STFU!! Might even buy something from them again...

Well, there you go. I tried to tell everyone that it was going to be ok.

Scott is a genuinely good guy, who did his job, believed his superiors, loves this industry... and has been hung out to dry because of circumstances beyond his control, PERIOD.
BP has and will continue to loose business because of this fiasco, I wasn't involved at all, and I will probably never buy their products again because of this.
I have a great deal of respect for Scott, and enjoy reading his posts on the BB and hope he can return soon to all our benefits.

If what is said here is true about the way this has been handled and I was an employee of BP that had been the public face and supporter o the program I would resign from the ompany. I couldn't work for a company whose integrity is in such question. I would make it a very public resignation so as to help try to re-establish my integrity.

Steve you completly missed what I said. My customer would NOT have been taken care of if the heat was not put on them. They tried the same tactic as they are trying with everyone else. If the "lynch mob" wasn't carrying the rope there would have been no happy ending and frankly I don't know that you can call one person working something out that was a win win for them is a happy ending. Alan lost 12 grand. Alan has 9 trucks. Alan spends ALOT of money on bridgepoint chems (I am trying to get him to switch). He had a bigger stick to swing.
For the rest of the folks that got screwed do not back down and take what they offer but instead make a counter offer that is fair and reasonable. If they don't take it then keep these threads alive on any board that won't censor them. Make sure Bridgepoint Direct and Interlink Supply are in the subject line and in the body of the message over and over. This will bring them up in google/yahoo searches.
BUT if they work it out with you then let people know as well.
I think your a very bright guy, that is why I don't understand your position of let bygones be bygones with all these people who had a crime committed against them.
These people were robbed and if BP may not have made the money they were supposed to off this deal doesn't pardon them from the crime.
Conspiracy to commit the crimes carries the same penalties of committing the crime. Ignorance is not a defense. They didn't properly vet the company that they conspired with to build business and make money off these carpet cleaners. When everything went south the only ones holding the bag were the people least able to afford it. Your response was well you didn't get what you paid for you learned a valuable lesson. So I wanted to know if you would do that in your own business.
You talk about your million dollar operation, great you can afford to lose a grand or ten. I will bet that some off these guys it may put them out of business. I remember the tough time I had paying my yellow pages when I first started if I wasn't financially sound from another career the ad dollars I had to put out would have killed me.

Whoa now........ I’ve never said anything about a million dollar operation.
The whole point I was trying to make (not very well) was not to spend too much negative energy worrying about the $ because there is just too much money to be made by keeping a positive mindset. I too have been where you say some of these guys are financially, and it doesn’t feel good I know. I believe that I am a much wiser businessman, cleaner, and consumer because of the screwings I have endured. I did not want the victims to dwell on the negativity and lose focus of the bigger picture. In other words....keep moving forward... i.e........MOVE ON
I was just pointing out the valuable lesson that they now can take with em going forward. I never said not to pursue a just conclusion.
I also have to take Doyle at his word when he posted a claim option for these folks.

I have money and that is because I didn't let people screw me over. If I chose to waste money on a nonproductive product that is one thing but to get your money stolen is another. Please let us know when someone took $5,000-10,000 from you and you just moved on. I am not talking about buying a piece of equipment that didn't live up to expectations I am talking about taking your money and just taking your money.

Dang Man,
go re-read my post.
But, if you must know.........I was on the hook for over 60,000.00 a few years back with some land developers. I wrote some letters,made some phone calls, sweated some bullets, and lost some sleep. But I got up every morning, went to work,kept my focus, and endured.
I kept MOVING FORWARD, DID NOT LET IT GET ME DOWN, NOR DID I DWELL ON THE NEGATIVE. In other words I moved on with my life. I was relentless in my actions to remedy the wrong that was done to my finances,but I still had a business to run and a life to live.........
This was the point I was trying to make. Keep moving forward no matter what.
The bottom line is you just do not like the way I made my point.....You took it as harsh,brash, and un-caring. But, that my friend is the way the world of business is.
Good Day !

who said these guys aren't still running their businesses?
I reread your post and if anyone thinks I am in a negative mindset when I argue or debate someone they are wrong. Some people have the stomach for it some don't. You can't still fight and work your business

Sometimes the big boys are easier to con than the little guys.
Don't blame Scott,if he had rhe power he would refunded all the losses.
Years ago when Kawasaki entered the small engine market we built 10
truckmounts using them.
Engines were junk,We relaced all units with new units,refunded money to 2.
Got no help from Kawasaki.
When you put your name on a product the monkey is now on your back.
Bite the bullet and move on,or quit.
Good luck,Judson

This is after many reports of people getting shafted. He had the power to disassociate himself with a product gone bad but chose to blame the consumer. I another post after this he says that Bridgepoint direct has thousands of satisfied customers with very few complaints. still leading the sheep to slaughter

Warrington hasn't said boo about this since I dug it out of the archives ... completely contradicts the position he took when the program went bad
