WorldWide Consulting Services

I also went to the class in Weymouth Massachusetts back I believe 2000 I paid 3000 for the flash flash sales training after everything that I was promised I never got anything I never felt like that before in my life I got a fake certificate

Paid the training seminar fee. Traveled down to their location and there was no other people for the training. Sat in a room and watched videos and on the last day Peter came in and asked some questions. It was a total joke. Several weeks passed and no assignment and no further training. I never got to talk to Peter again, would not answer or return my calls. Biggest scam and ripoff.

After reading an ad for ales trainers i decided to apply , After proving to them my track record i was invited to attend their sales training program , they stated ill have plenty of work , every week i will work , I paid my training fees , thought this was strange i had to pay for my training but i did i flew into their office rented a car stayed at a hotel , for the first two days the owner Peter Ferrigan was their teaching us his ways after that we watched videos , on how to train what a joke . Not at any time do you know who the other trainers are , its all very hush hush , they send you out to a dealer and expect you to interview 2 days and train 3 days all while promising to hire people and charge them 650 for a class , you keep 250 per student the rest goes to peter , you have to lie and cheat these people . all they care about is their money nothing else .. beware

I did the 3 day training with Peter Farrigan and he guaranteed that everyone who made the graduation would be hired , even if it was at another dealership ( other than the one he was hired to do the training). Yes you would need to interview but dealerships are always hiring and having this training will give you a leg up. What I find interesting is all the complaints that he is a scammer,etc . Thing is he will do his best to get you a gig in the industry and the $500 is worth the training he provided. Just be prepared upfront that you will need to pay for his services.

i just went through the same thing w/Pete Ferrigno at Mall of GA KIA... Pete gave 10 of us his huge 3 day 'orientation' all about the chrysler/dodge/kia/jeep and sucked us all into paying $500 for our 'Certification' and promised we would get the money back one way or another 1. if we decide we dont want to work there, the manager would write us a check for $500, 2. If we don't 'work out' in sales, we wouldn't be fired, we would be moved to another department 3 after 90 days employment, we would get the money back, with interest- $625. well, after i completed my certification Sunday, I came in Monday and was FIRED!!! I asked why- no answer! I asked for my money back and they told me "WE DON'T HAVE YOUR MONEY- PETE DOES! and everyone in that dealership refers to Pete as "Pete the liar" because everything he told us those 3 days in our orientation class w/him was LIES! That was when I got nervous and found this website after googling his name! I was nervous during my certification and surely enough I had every right to be! I told these people I just moved back to GA, I was a single, widowed mother and that $500 was for my new house but I invested in this job because I saw a future- I was assured I was part of a 'FAMILY' now and i would get my money back! Well, now i am out $500, plus the $100 I spent on clothing, shoes, supplies for this job- not to mention I had to pay $200 for a babysitter those 2 weeks and I drove 3 hours a day to get my kids to the sitter every morning and get to work, then do the driving again after work each day! I was going through a tank of gas every 3 days!!! Then i was FIRED! because why? well, another employee informed me that I missed a 2 days because I hurt my back and the people of this dealership told me i need to go to the ER and take care of myself because i could barely walk- I brought them a form from the hospital and they still held that against me!!! I have never felt so low and played in my life- I am 30 years old and have had many jobs and been fired once or twice for silly things but never in my life have I felt like this!!

Seven individuals and I were promised a job with Lou Fusz, and everyone paid $600 each for training and yet, I am writing this review... We "trained" for three days (Wed-Fri) and received and automotive sales manual that contained grammatical errors and spelling ONLY after paying your money. The trainer , Ted Saras talked around absolutely everything without giving honest, clear answers. We were guaranteed everything in writing and copies of the things we signed at orientation after training and didn't get one receipt, document, or certificate. Ted Saras took cash in hand, debit and/or credit linked directly to his phone, but no checks; go figure. After everyone had paid their training dues, that Friday, Ted Saras disappeared into thin air, claiming to hit Chicago and go train individuals there, promising to return in three months to check on everyone and their job performance. No contact number was given for him. We did however, receive a number to a Placement Hotline. This hotline guaranteed you a job for life and this was the number to WORLD WIDE CONSULTANTS. When you call this number, no one states the name of the business being World Wide Consultants, just their first name. The General Manager of Lou Fusz Larry Buckhhorn, took extremely and unprofessionally long to speak to everyone individually after Ted Saras that Friday, and and apparently Larry told us all something different. Larry Buckhhorn told me and another one of my peers that his staff were waiting for 5 out of the 7 background checks to come back and Larry Buckhhorn wanted to move forward with orientation as a team. My peer and I was told that we were to be given a call by him the following Monday to get orientation and on site drug testing to start that Wednesday. Orientation was to be held at the LOU FUSZ NISSAN location. Monday came around, I gave Larry after anticipating his call and with time passing. Larry, then told me that all of the background checks had not came back and he would call me the next day (Tuesday). Tuesday came around, I give Larry a call again, he then informs me that the background checks had not came back and that orientation was off for the following day(Wednesday). Larry did not contact me on Wednesday, I then attempted to reach him that Thursday. I was told that he was off work that day. Friday around noon, I visited LOU FUSZ BUICK/GMC on 10950 Page Blvd, Saint Louis, MO; where keep in mind all of the "training" had taken place that week prior. I asked to see Larry and was told by his receptionist that he had been in a meeting all morning and there was no telling of when he would get out. So, I politely waited. Fifteen minutes later, he approaches me and we had a sit down. I asked him what was going on and Larry Buckhhorn, General Sales Manager of Lou Fusz, lied directly to my face. He continued to claim the background checks still had gotten back and then twisted and turned and said he forwarded my application to Lou Fusz Mazda. Then proceeded to tell me that I had not been hired on that location and that I had not been guaranteed a job from the beginning. He let me know that he did not have my $600 and that Ted Saras was a subcontractor that he allowed to come in and train people and sell his book, however, no one was hired on. I received a phone call from a South Carolina are code number and spoke with Brian who called to set up my initial interview, claimed to be new to Lou Fusz and St. Louis therefore couldn't provide me with local directions. There was a representative who went by the name of Sam and he informed me that I was guaranteed a job or my money back. I let him know that all I wanted was my money back and he pretended to work on it. In conclusion, Brian, Mr. new to Lou Fusz and Sam the World Wide Consulting Rep in South Carolina have the exact same mobile phone number. Lesson learned, don't pay for job training!

This Company has used several different names over the years due to there complaints and practices and yet still no one has done anything to them, they have operated under more then there names listed if you look into the Internet, they exist under several phone numbers and everyone in the office uses different names because they lie, cheat and steal from everyone and every person so they can't be found, the BBB has a huge file on them, the phone numbers for this company are 855-217-****, 855-313-****, 800-351-**** Peter Ferrigan owns all these companies but yet is still in business because he tells dealership a fake name! If you are a dealership and you have been called as I was and use there service,you might as well plan on refunding the people they hire there monies they paid for Training $600.00, they do not do placement and they do not make things right they hide from you and give the Dealership a bad name. save your reputation by not using there Service.

I do have to agree with some of the others. Services were rendered. The person went through training and got the job. How is this the trainers fault? Stopping payment was illegal and hopefully was resolved. Talk all you want about the sales training, but he did get hired and then decided to quit. So who is really at fault here? You want to complain because you quit? It can't be that bad because there are millions employed at dealerships all across America. And for those that didn't pay, so what? You weren't offered a job. The whole point is if the training nets a job, and in this case it clearly did.

I took the class from World Wide Consulting in 2009 at a local Auto Dealership. We were told from the start that they couldn't promise us a job. I paid the $630 for their "manuel". I did get the job with the dealership. I was also told that after 30 days, my money would be refunded by the dealership if I "worked out". I did but when I asked the dealership for my money back ,they said that they knew nothing about this. The owner of the dealership did refund my money,but he was not happy about it. His unhappiness was with World Wide Consulting, not me. When I tried to contact World Wide Consulting to help me find employment with another Auto dealership,as they had promised, they ignored my calls and did nothing for me. World Wide Consulting can't do anything for you that you can't do yourself. KEEP YOUR MONEY!

This company is a scam. They hired me as a trainer and took my money ($2640.00) and I never got it back. They lie to the trainees as they cannot get everyone a job they promise. I did this twice as a trainer and realized you have to lie to these poor people who only want a job and I can't do that. Don't trust Logan Bentley or Pete Farigon. These people are total scam artists. They will tell you anything to get your money. I don't know how they sleep at night with all the stealing they do.

"Deceptive Business Practices"; Multi-level marketing (MLM), or Chain referral sales and a new style of Pyramid Sales, sort of sums up this catalogue of events to a tee. This report contains valuable information; facts and guidlines that has been researched due to the outcome of one or more relating to the above illegal Fraud Practices/actions occurring, information that may help State and governing Authorities to pursue action against the ongoing practices etc... Cutting to the chase - the above company practicing under its latest "Title" as United Consulting Services Auto, Inc working hand in hand with the local Dealership - in this particular case Royal Ford & Mercury Motors, Owego NY. Timeline to particular Incident:> ** Advert placed on Binghamton Craigslist requesting Sales people - ID Posting #220716**** (has now since been removed) during the week ending 12th February 2011. ** Individual responds on the 13th February with a phone call - leaves message. ** Individual calls again on the 14th - sets up appointment for Interview with Secretary at above location. ** Individual attends Interview on the 15th at above location, along with approx 15 other potential 'Auto-Trainee' Salespersons, conducted by Consultant representative for UCS Auto - introduced as David S Monicatti, from Michigan State. ** Individual is advised during the above introduction seminar that there will be a cost amount involved for a "training kit" - amount as yet undisclosed - parties interested in pursuing a Career in the Automotive Industry are encouraged to consider this as they will eventually earn high scale $$$$. ** Individual is recalled for second more in depth interview by David S Monicatti on the 16th February - details of the "training kit" is offered along with a request for $629. ** Individual states that it will be necessary to discuss such investment with members of family, as individual is currently unemployed and not in a financial position to procure such an amount. Individual also noted that out of the original 15 interviewed, only four have been selected. ** Individual discusses request with members of family - a enquiry is also made to the local Police Station to clarify the legitimacy of such a financial request and the validity of the company pursuing this action - UCS Auto. ** Individual is expected to return to the Dealership on the 17th to confirm and accept proposal, as well as provide the requested funding. ** Phone call is received from local Sherriff on the 17th – approx 1 hr before appointed time…..confirming that the request for payment in order to access "training for the Automotive Salesperson" seems to be in order. ** Check is made out to the Dealership for the sum of $629 - Individual returns at appointed time to complete transaction. David S Monicatti is unable to accept the check as it is made out to the local Dealership - requests alternative funding, confusion in conversation leads individual to understand that they are required to provide cash. ** Individual returns to office of family member to discuss concerns now evolving - family member clearly indicates that under NO circumstances is cash being handed over - that if the presented check is not acceptable then the 'investment' is not viable. ** Individual returns to Dealership, and again discusses the outcome of the conversation with David S Monicatti. David S Monicatti makes phone call to family member - family member discuss validity of "investment" - the underlying intent with regards to the "training" being offered and what would cause a loss of that said investment ie "In the event of....". David S Monicatti was very careful not to implicate any "guarantees" but turned the conversation over to the persona of the Individual - the recognition of their future as an Automotive Salesperson - the professionalism that was exhibited and so forth. Family member again pursued the quality of the said "Investment" - and that under no circumstances would cash be paid over - regardless of how David S Monicatti respectfully viewed the Individual. ** David S Monicatti then stated "Absolutely - fully understood - had never indicated that Cash was to be paid - just needed the check to be made out to me in person" - proceeded to spell the name. Further explained that he accepted the check in his name to avoid any issues with bounced payments etc - and that he in return would be making a total "company" check payment to the Dealership for their involvement. Also expressed that he was due to return to Michigan and had a set time for completion of the documentation by 5pm that day (17th). Family member requested assurance that a legal receipt would be provided for the payment of the "training package"....David S Monicatti stated "absolutely". ** Family member and Individual discussed concerns for over an hour - and 10 mins prior to appointed time Individual left with newly written check made over to David S Monicatti. ** Individual spends the next day (Friday 18th) procuring suitable clothes for their future as a Professional Salesperson under the flagship of the local Dealership.

Finally after the 90 days "probation Training scheme" Individual should receive appointment to Auto-salesperson earning a % of actual sales. This also tiered on the basis that Individual met a quality background check; had no serious violation on the Driving License and passed a Drug Test. ** Individual returns on the Saturday - 19th February for an appointed Interview with actual owner of Dealership, the interview was noted for 10.30am. Individual waited patiently till 1.30pm before actual Interview was given. During said Interview the Individual was faced with extremely invasive questions concerning personal achievements, family background and current lifestyle etc. ** Individual was given to understand that current employment prospects were on very thin ground - that there was little evidence of stability etc. After Interview Individual indicates desire to become the "Best" subject to proposed 'Training package", and stayed at Dealership beyond Interview to show genuine interest and keenness. ** Individual was asked to return for start of Dealership promotion - Monday 21 February - Orientation was set for 8.30 am start. Individual arrived with three other potential UCS Auto selected Trainees, each was asked to introduce themselves to the group. On said Individual's turn - a derogative and unprofessional remark was made by a senior staff member of the Dealership directly involving Individual. ** Individual retains composure - continues with introduction and sets focus on day's "training" that will set Career in progress. Individual also notes that Auto-Salespersons from all over the State as well as Out-of State Sales personnel are arriving in to procure clients/sales on behalf of the Dealership. ** Individual along with the three other UCS Auto "Trainees" are required to stand for 12 hrs without involvement in any form to the day's activities.

Advised (February 2011) latest Individual that New York State area as being "Lucrative". February 2011 - ....Also advised Individual that he makes regular visits to several Dealerships in the New York State area.... Advised potential "Trainees" at Dealership in Owego, New York that UCS Auto had been in business for over 21 years (and in Truth that would be the case as it is a 'surf Pyramid Sales Pitch" originating from World Wide Consultancy Services and all other affiliated companies). CONCLUSION: The above practice - initiated under the title heading of "UCS Auto", can be clearly seen as an action of Pyramid Selling - "multi-level marketing" ...see below Law/s....identified observation is highlighted by Bold Text # Advertising a product or action with intention to procure 'monies' for a product determined necessary in order to be part/placed into the scheme. - in this instance "Auto Salesperson Training" # Involving a sub-client as part of the Scheme - in this instance the Dealership - who clearly receives a % of the obtained funds from the un-suspecting "Trainee". # Using the action of "Consultant" to interact with prospective "Investors", committing monies as part of an elaborate, and in many cases unrealistic "Training schemes" be it for the position of Auto Sales, Auto-Consultant and/or any other title that offers "employment" in one form or another. - Introducing, and selling the idea of "becoming a Auto-Salesperson by the purchase of a "united" course program – on-site Training with Dealership with the aid of a "UCS Auto Training guide" Consumer Frauds Bureau The Bureau of Consumer Frauds and Protection, part of the Economic Justice Division, prosecutes businesses and individuals engaged in fraudulent, misleading, deceptive or illegal trade practices. Consumer Helpline: 1-80*-771-**** - Collective evidence relating to just ONE of the many new style "Pyramid" selling now emerging is considered under many States as "fraudulent, misleading, deceptive or illegal". Pyramid schemes are illegal in New York State, as well as in many other states. Article 23A of the General Business Law of the State of New York §359-fff sets forth the criminality of initiating and participating in pyramid schemes (also known as chain distributor schemes). Pyramid schemes may or may not involve the sale of products or distributorships. The trend is to involve sales of products or distributorships in an attempt to show legitimacy. . Pyramid schemes focus on the exchange of money and recruitment. ** David S Moncatti in allegiance with Royal Ford & Mercury Motors, Owego NY, set up arrangements to advertise for Auto-Sales Personnel. At the heart of each pyramid scheme there is typically a representation that new participants can recoup their original investments by inducing two or more prospects to make the same investment. ** Auto Sales pitch indicated quality earnings at the completion of a 90 day Training induction that would require the pre-purchase of a Manual which assisted in the process. Indication was also given that at the end of the 90 day duration the Dealership in question would return said amount paid. Indication was also given that "Training" was compliance on conditions both related and un-related as per deemed eligible by the Dealership. Often there is not even an established market for the products so the "sale" of such merchandise, newsletters or services is used as a front for transactions which occur only among and between the operation's distributors. ** In this instance between the two parties known as David S Moncatti in allegiance with Royal Ford & Mercury Motors, Owego NY Therefore, your earning potential depends primarily on how many people you sign up, not how much merchandise is sold. **David S Moncatti in allegiance with Royal Ford & Mercury Motors, Owego NY agreed to FOUR participants at a lucrative sum totaling to $2516 (4x$629) of which it was understood that a % is paid direct to Royal Ford & Mercury Motors, Owego NY. Documents given to Trainees also states that none of the monies paid, is reimbursed based on various "un-obtainable" conditions. Ilegal Aspects of Pyramid Scams Pyramids are deceptive and participants in a pyramid, and pyramid sales plans are by their very nature not only deceptive, they are illegal, and the participants can under many State Laws be subject to fines and possible arrest. The con artist at the top views each new investor as a predicable set of revenues and expenses, with the revenues flowing directly to him. He happily pays out commissions for the recruitment efforts of others. "Pyramid selling" as defined by the Federal Trade Commission involves "inventory loading" and "head hunting fees". ** Through a tiered volume of Companies clearly indicating that Peter Ferrigan is either co-owner or President, each ONE introducing the concept of "Sales Techniques" by a variety of determined "Fees" - Training "Products" all purchasable. This in turn requires that sub-personnel titled as in part 'Consultant' to recruit further "Auto-Sales" Trainees ....selling the idea of "Training" and associated packages as a united front under the umbrella of the participating Dealership. At each given level there is given to understand that a % of monies is paid out – from the Dealership back up to the top of the Pyramid that being Peter Ferrigan. People who break the law relating to multi-level marketing or pyramid selling can be convicted and sentenced to a fine or a prison term. Amendments to the Act passed in 1999 now allow the court to impose a fine of up to $200,000 or a prison term of up to one year, or both, for a less serious offence. For a more serious offence, the court may set its own fine or a prison term of up to five years, or both. The Bureau conducts its investigations in private and keeps confidential the identity of the source and the information provided. However, if someone has important evidence about an offence under the Act, that person may be asked to testify in court. The above action can also be veiwed as:> UNLAWFUL PRACTICES. Subdivision 1. Fraud, misrepresentation, deceptive practices. The act, use, or employment by any person of any fraud, false pretense, false promise, misrepresentation, misleading statement or deceptive practice, with the intent that others rely thereon in connection with the sale of any merchandise, whether or not any person has in fact been misled, deceived, or damaged thereby, is enjoin able as provided by State Law. Action regarding the above incident as reported in the beginning can also be reported under the provisions of: New York False Claims Act, N.Y. Fin. Law §§ 187 - 194, allows the Attorney General, a local government, or any person to file a lawsuit against a person or a company that obtains or withholds funds or property from the state or local government through false or fraudulent conduct.. ** Peter Ferrigan President of said above listed companies, in particular UCS Auto under the management of Mike Miller, who uses field agents/contacts as sub-regional personnel, (in this instance) Consultant David S Moncatti who in allegiance (in this instance) with Royal Ford & Mercury Motors, Owego NY is conducting a "scheme" that visibly avoids/withholds registered payments made under the probable title of "Training Materials" from being taxed or reported as "extra Income". A feasible Tier indication is that for every THREE days of activity involving a Dealership based on a Four person "Trainee" induction – there is a product sale totaling $2516.00, plus the bonus of any unregistered Employee wages or unpaid Time (in this instance) at NY State $7.35 base - (12hrs per day = $88.20). Indication is that few if any stay the allotted time of 90 days - many are given a reason to be "terminated" after THREE days of commenced "Training" within the on-site Dealership. Indication is also given that the Consultant is a returning force month after month utilizing that same procedure as an ongoing "lucrative" endeavor. A person or company found liable under the act must generally pay treble damages, civil penalties, plus costs and attorneys fees. The False Claims Act is an important new tool for people to help the state or local governments recover funds or property lost through fraud or corruption. Lawsuits filed by citizens "” known as "qui tam" suits "” are filed in secret to give the government an opportunity to investigate the allegations of fraud. Individuals that file suits may be eligible to keep a percentage of the funds they help recover. The False Claims Act also protects employees from being retaliated against for filing qui tam suits against employers who may be engaged in activity or practices that defraud the government out of money or property. All of the above plus on hand documentation involving the actual Training Manual and so called "agreements" are also being registered with the Attorney General, New York for review, and/or consideration under one all of the above Laws in place for the protection of the Consumer, or in this instance the unsuspecting "Auto-Trainee" with hopes and visions that were entrusted to the fact that there was a possibility of gaining an education in Sales - other than the one of being "Ripped_Off"!

Do not Give them any Money for training class!!! Rip Off !! I took the class and did not get the job, have been trying to get a referral and no one will talk to me. Read there Web Site they will tell you in class that the Dealership will return your money if you don;t get a job, But on there website it plainly says the Dealership pays nothing. And call the Dealership and they will also tell you that they willll not refund anything. Class is a joke alot of free time and not much study time, the instructor uses Vulgar language and chases Female students away. RIP OFFF !!!! of over $600.00 taking them to Court . Also they do not give out names, phnoe number Etc of any people working there. BEAWARE!!!!! Save Money !!!! Contact BBB

World wide consulting services will take your $4980 and send you to 2 dealerships in 2 months and then you never hear from them again. I was scammed. There also trying to operated under the name UCS. They were advertising in automotive news for Trainers with General manager experience only as they know former GMs have the money to pay. Pete Ferrigan,Ken Carver, Skye are all part of this scam. They tell you they have plenty of work in the state you live in and that the dealership you do the training will cover hotel,gas,airfare but it is all lies.
