I have been given a beautiful website and have received online and live training with experts. The techs do some of the work and teach me to do the rest. I need to know how to add/subtract items I sell, post blogs, advertise, etc. All are included in my training.

1 phone call. Sounded good... had to check with the manager. ( a used car trick)... should have known better. I invested 5k. Second call they went into the hard sell up grade. I was looking at this review and decided these guys were pushing way too hard. So i called the credit card company. STOP payment. Don't play with these guys. They just want your money. Talk a good game. But the game is take your money... run away NOW

I have been contacted through a 67.00 ad and tricked by my own desires to lose 8600 I asked for my money back and was switched to a different guy with Kreative who then started talking about more and more money. I am disgusted I have a website that is so lame that nothing will sell and it is not complete. I am supposed to learn how to finish it. The products on it are too expensive and horrible selection. No way will I spend any more money. Why don't we look into a class action lawsuit. Contact me if interested

This is a complete waste of time and money, They leave out all the important things you need to know. Marketing, state tax laws, and especially how you need to continue to give them more money each step. Even then you never seem to get anywhere. They will show you websites and how profitable they are. All part of a scam. Keep your money!

They have no problem taking someone's money and not giving it back. I was looking to make a little extra to pay off hospital bills, and they just put me deeper in debt. Piss poor service, and it takes forever for them to get anything done. Your money will be better spent elswhere!

Beware of Kreative, Business Venture or John Giles. I paid $42,282.14 into this business and worked my site (EverydayHammocks) every day and as of 5/31/21 made 0 return! Kreative makes you sign another contract whereby you must pay $99.99 per month for 24 months. I informed them on 10/14/2020 that I couldn't afford this monthly payment as a widow but they kept charging my bank account so I've paid an additional $1,199.88 and have submitted an email to cancel my entire account with them. They put me in debt and I finally refinanced my mortgage for a lower interest rate and cleared and cancelled three credit cards. Instead, I joined Airbnb & Vrbo and have been renting out my 1st-floor unit to vacation tourist and have made more money than my entire bill to this company. This company has such a poor rating which I should have checked before joining them. BEWARE of these con artists! I would be happy to provide a copy of the costs paid, but this site won't accept the attachment.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from Kreative, Business Venture, and John Giles!

When I started my Ecommerce business I was promised 24/7 Technical Support, Customer service, Mentorship, Website analysis, Premium SEO service and likelyhood of a seven figure annual income. Not One of these promises were delivered. Training was delivered by Filipino instructors who could barely speak English. Technical Support and Website Analysis was non-existent and when I did get through, all they could provide were excuses why they couldn't do their job. Absolutely the worst investment I have ever made in my life..

I was led to believe if I did all I was told I'd be successful. That wasn't the case. After 2 years I never made one sale. I had to terminate with them, however they kept my website I paid for up and running to use as their portfolio. I believe they showed me a defunct site when I signed up. Additionally, I was hesitant to purchase the platinum package and stated so. I was told that they'd reduce the price and I'd be one of their success stories, that they'd interview me before and after. That never happened. I take full responsibility but feel misled after being convinced that I should take a home equity loan and was guaranteed I'd make the money I borrowed on my house back within six months. This is truly a buyer beware scenario. Now I owe a lot of money I invested with nothing to show for it. As a retiree I've had to go back to work because of the sales job. Do your research. Don't take out any loans and be wary of a coach telling you how quickly you'll make money. Oh, and BTW other than setting up the website, you'll do all the work. As a sidw jote, the platform is warhead.

March 2020 began with the news of the Corona virus which in turn, left my husband jobless because he could not travel anymore. After months of looking for supplement income, my husband was approached by Kreative. Biggest mistake of our lives. Tyler Hill is a smooth operator, promising that he and they (Kreative) would be with us throughout the whole process of setting up our own website. I say us, because according to them, I had to sign the contract too even though this was to be my husband's business only. Me, thinking they were a reputable company, obligingly signed. Shame on me for not checking the BBB and other sites that have given Kreative horrible reviews. But they are very high pressure, saying you must get this promotional deal right now or it won't be available. This was in August of 2020. The idea that you can use training videos to teach the average Joe how to select inventory and manage a website are ludicrous. Not to mention, we had to spend an additional $2000 for additional training on top of the original $14,500 plus $119.99 for 2 years. Then, we had to pay a distributor (one they recommended) DOBA an additional $3800 for use of their merchandise. So, all total we are in this for $23,179.76. At first, Tyler was very approachable and available. But the longer it took to get the website up, the harder it was to get in touch with him. Kreative would send e-mails practically everyday about how they had checked the inventory and we were to sign off on it. We didn't know what we were signing off on. So, in October, when we were sent something saying we signed off on their work, we thought "Great, our website should be up and running soon." They kept saying, give "it" another couple of weeks. Well, here we are in March 2021 and we still don't have an operational website. As a matter of fact, when I try to pull up our "exclusive website" I got this message. "ShortysTacticalSupplies.com is parked free courtesy of GoDaddy.com". And did I mention, we can't get anyone to answer the phone or call us back. We are out almost $******* with nothing to show for it. Shame on you, Kreative. If nothing else, I hope others will read this review and not be taken in by this scam like we were.

We all need to work together to try bring them down so they will not rip off any more people. They got me out of $10,000 and I refuse to give them any more. All they want is your money and will not give you the help to need. It's like they want you to quit because now they have your money and you can't get it back because you already passed the 3-days mark. We need to find out who is the CEO and own for this rip off business.

I initially called CMS *******248 for posting links online. I was contacted by Interractive Business solutions and solicited for an e-commerce business for 8,900.00 (the cheapest). I was then contacted by Progressive Business Services and solicited for $3,995.00 & $2,995.00. Then contacted by Kreative Llc (coaches) and solicited for $14,000.00. I cancelled after the last 2 solicitations (30 days later). I have no website and no coaching. They refuse to refund my money stating their programs don't fall under the initial 60 day money back guarantee. I am disputing these charges with my bank. I urge everyone who is a victim of any of these companies to please file a complaint with the FTC & the ic3.gov. We must stop this financial victimization. Thank you

I would first like to add that I would give this company zero stars if it would allow. They are definitely SCAMMERS! Most of us think of scammers as someone who calls you and says you have an over due bill or something, gets your card information and runs with that. Not these people. These people, (as there are too many who contacted/harassed me to count) scam in a way that catches you off guard. They ask what your goals and dreams are and then emotionally and financially manipulate you that way. This never ending nightmare all started in November of 2020. This was shortly after Covid began and everyone was hurting financially, losing their jobs or being stuck at home. I was one of those people who lost their job. So of course, just like online shopping, I began looking online for work as well. The other reason I started this process was because I was trying to fulfill my dream of getting a sentimental family saying trademarked. As I was searching the internet, I came across Kreative (unfortunately for me). Then the scam began. Of course, I reached out to them and they initially asked me about these goals and dreams I had. They then used these completely to their advantage to sell me this scam of theirs. They told me that instead of making the website that I was imagining for this trademark, that I had to first make a different website with them. They asked me more about what I wanted for my "future" dream website. I told them about myself and the story behind the saying. I am a mother of five children, whom are all grown up now. My disabled son passed away about thirteen years ago. My whole family would say this meaningful saying to him and each other. This has made it incredibly special for us, especially after losing him. My plans were also to have sustainable income for the future, which would allow me to stay at home and be with my grandkids more. We continued on with Kreative (many other companies as well) to have them build me this website. Throughout this process, I would have meetings with my "coach" to try and help me understand what was going on. They would have different employees call and basically just ask me for more money for something that would "help" with my website. Always saying that I "need" to do this to be successful. One of these other companies being Digital Guidance (who also scammed me and got a ton of my money). I'm pretty sure they were just partnered together to scam even more and more people. After a while, I got so many different calls that I didn't even know if they were really from Kreative or not and was sick of paying them large sums of money. I can't even stomach saying publicly how much money they stole from me. I feel robbed and humiliated. Unfortunately, all of this pain and suffering was not spent alone. I talked my daughter into investing with me (of course before I know it was a scam) and she is now as emotionally and financially distraught as I am. These people have ruined our lives. We have no savings, struggle financially everyday and it takes a toll on our mental health as well. Just having this burden over our shoulders is a huge weight on us that feels as if it can never be lifted. We have felt nothing but stress for years now. We never came from money and sadly we have even less than we did before this all started, which was not much. We are writing this to warn others to not fall for this SCAM. It will ruin you financially and emotionally. The worst part is that they continued to try and get $100 a month from us and when we refused, they took down the website they made for us which we never made a dime on in the first place! This almost three year long experience has been unbelievable and life changing in the worst possible way!

I was searching online ways to make money since I was out of a job, came across an ad that could help do that, paid 37 bucks to start program and was informed I would gets details as to what it was all about. I spoke with the first guy Brandon who basically sold me on spending 4500 for my business with training included being a few times a week up to 30 mins on the calls and would have my site up in about 45 to 60 days and soon will be making money, never once did he mention that It would be essential to have tax help or better yet Marketing! Which ended up costing additional thousands that I did not have to begin with. He also told me if I need help with my Cc payments to let him know, I did a few times and still nothing! Now I'm out of 9500 and they need more money to do additional work that I dont have time to do since I'm back to work & school but I am beyond tap out money wise and not even sure this is gonna work. Wish I never did this to begin with because it put me deeper in the whole financially and my site has been live almost a month and nothing. I'm pissed they only give you three days to want to cancel and hopefully get your money back. Now coming here and seeing everyone else reviews just seals the deal about what I've been feeling about the whole ordeal. Beware people who are considering work from home ads online, if you have the money to give away then go for it, maybe things will work out and you'll actually make money.

A fast speaking agent called and talk me to do a business with this company. Of course if I can I would rate them no star, but the system does not allow that. I waisted entire year and almost 20k in an effort to get the the WEB business going. After the WEB was up more than 3 months, there was no single sail. After I complained to the company I was told that my nitch is not helpful; well it was forced to accept it by my first consultant. "He has been doing this 15 years and I do not nothing".
In conclusion this is total scam company oriented only toward stealing as much money from yo as possible. They use any tool to do so. My mistake was that I did not do full investigation before giving them any money. Seatle BB has so many complaints the they issue a red flag to this company. My recommendation is stay away

Tip for consumers:
I have only one tip STAY AWY FROM THOSE SCAMMERS

Products used:
The Kreative LLC promised a wonderfool WEB that would sell products like a hot cake. They assisted with creation of the WEB but I sent way too much time creating their own errors and mistakes. Finally when the WEB was set live, there was no single sale. In conclusion I wasted almost $20.000 and countless time. The only purpose of this company is to get as much moneytfrom you as possible. They have zero interest to make your business working.

What the hell does this company even do besides scam people? Well here's my odyssey with them: I was looking to get into the dropshipping business and I found these guys online through some sort of click-bait or ad on a website I was on (I can't exactly remember). I didn't deal with Kreative at first, but after a series of transfers/emails/me filling out online forms and a $30-$40 payment to get more info I was directed to them. But let me tell you, all I ended up getting in the end was my money taken. And they took it no problem. Once they had my phone number and set up a call, the first guy I ever spoke to sounded like he lived in his mom's basement and just gave me an overall uneasy feeling. He kept asking things like "are you ready to make some real money?" but in a sleazy way. He was obviously supposed to be some kind of initial screening to gauge my level of seriousness. Maybe I should've stopped there but I unfortunately didn't.

Anyways since I passed the test, I get granted an audience with the "big money millionaire", aka the guy that supposedly made millions in the dropshipping business. Now it's time to put up or shut up, because he had me commit on the spot to a significant initial investment. Of course, he claimed they would match me to show their own commitment, but I had no way of knowing if they actually did. From here a few days went by, and I get "assigned" to someone that would be my "coach"/main point of contact. I will say he was decent at first and seemed like a nice guy, but shortly thereafter I found he was ultra hard to get in touch with (I was always calling or emailing him) and I'm honestly not really sure what he did for the company. None of what I talked about with him ever came to fruition and the timeline he put me on was not upheld in the slightest. Eventually I stopped hearing out of him entirely, so now here I am out a ton of money with nothing to show for it and no idea what to do next.

Well at least a couple weeks go by and I get a phone call from another "coach" telling me he had taken over my previous "coach's" contact list. Ok no big deal let's move forward. Second guy was certainly better than the first. For starters, he was much more accessible. Over the next several weeks we made good progress, but still never got to the point where I launched a dropshipping website or had a healthy list of suppliers. To be fair I probably could've done more in terms of reaching out to suppliers, but somehow I don't think this would've mattered much. Funnily enough though, I found out from the second guy that the first guy (who disappeared) had been fired because "he wasn't the right fit for the company". Hmm. Needless to say hearing this did not raise my already waning level of confidence, and I certainly did not appreciate being left in the dark for 2-3 weeks while I was reassigned. Oh and by the way, they told me in the beginning the first guy had been with the company for 8 years and he was one of their best! So you're telling me I just so happened to come along when you decided that your superstar suddenly wasn't the right fit? Gimme a frickin' break. Then, I stopped hearing out of the second guy altogether! Fool me once shame on you fool me twice... you know how it goes. I kissed my money goodbye at this point, because I was not about to wait to get put on a third guy's list. It was clear to me now that this was going nowhere except deeper into my pockets.

So I made moves to get in touch with their customer retention department to get out of this mess. I get on the phone and climb that ladder til I get to the top where I demand them to let me go no strings attached. I can tell the guy on the phone was pretty disappointed too after I'd explained to him my experience with Kreative, and he told me "this is not the way we usually do business", so I told him "well I hope it isn't for your sake because if it is you guys will be out of business." He tried his best to retain me by waiving website maintenance fees and promises of trying again later with the same initial investment as long as I stayed on with them. But I tell you what, at this point I'd had enough and I was ready to cut my losses. I knew I wasn't going to get any of my money back, but I didn't care I was done dealing with them. Good riddance. One last little tidbit if you aren't convinced of their ineptitude/shadiness: The entire 5-6 months I did business with them I got charged $40/month for maintenance on a website that was never once operational!

To anyone who reads this, STAY AWAY. Judging by the overwhelmingly negative reviews on this site I can see I'm not alone in thinking this. I mean there's literally ONE positive review. Also, because of the other reviews here, I realize that if I didn't cut my losses when I did then most likely I'd be out far more money than I already am. Scary thought. In other words I got off easy compared to some here and I really feel sorry for them. It's just not right. So if there is any silver lining for me in this sh*t sandwich it's that. The more I think about it, I think they knew how much credit I had available, and this is how they arrived at the amount of the initial charges. They could've told me whatever they wanted in terms of cost and did, because how could I possibly know what all of it would cost? Again, scary. Maybe I'm wrong but I wouldn't put it past them. If you really think about it, how do I know if ANYTHING they told me was true? Kreative is a complete fraud, and they deserve to be brought down sooner rather than later. I really hope all this catches up to them one day, and these people see the inside of a jail cell.

Last July I wanted to start my own website so I signed up with Kreative for help. I did a ton of computer work, but help was not easy to come by. Nine months later and after spending $12,000 of my money, I never got a viable website, and NEVER MADE ONE DIME! They prey on honest people who are trying their best to make some extra cash. They have no problem in taking your money and leaving you with absolutely nothing! They are just making money on you're dreams! Don't waste your time and especially your money!

I am devastated with my experience with Kreative. I spent many months working diligently on creating my site because I believed in what they promised me: a good online business. Wrong! After paying $6,000 for their program and an additional $6,000 to them for FB advertising (which I am still paying off), I have not had even one sale since the site went live in 2016! Nothing!

This business is total scam. They charge you for things you do not get and tell you how important it is to be on the first page of googles search engine but they don't tell you the only way you will find your company is by the actual web site address. I. E. If you sell hammers, you cannot enter the word HAMMER into the search engine and find your web site. You have to enter your website address "hammers big and small" to get to your web site. If you are starting a new business, who's going to know your web site address? And for this aggravation they charge you $16,250.00 that they call "Marketing" which I have yet to see. They also charge you for a software app. For $3,000.00 which I have also yet to see. In total they will charge you about $20,000.00 for work that is poorly done, incomplete, or non-existentant. You are better off using Go Daddy then using Kreative.com unless you like giving money away because that is all you will be doing when you use them.
