Thrive has had 35 complaints in the last 36 months according to BBB of Utah. What an outstanding record!! That's an average of 1 a month. They are rated "C". I bet they do not have people look this BBB website up when they are trying to scam people out of their money!!
Internet Income Solutions has an "F" rating so stay far, far away from them. They are BAD news just like Thrive!!

BEWARE how slick they are playin with people if you really look at the Utah BBB rating ( C-) it is totally a crock of cr** They tell us that good ole Thrive has only.... get this ONLY[u][/u] 36 complaints in the last 3 years!!! I got news for you BBB on your own Dang site it states that they started up in March of 2008 that would be duh 18-19 Months!!! So simple math would say 3 years more like 65 + complaints Do you really think that is a C-?

South Dakota is one of the states that have Business Opportunity Disclosure Laws.
Is there anyone out there from South Dakota who has been scammed by Thrive? I was. I would like to get some more complaints from SD to take to the AG of SD.
You can answer here or contact me. Thanks!

Hey where is everybody?
I was looking for my report I filed against Thrive on Ripoff Reports. I cannot find it. They say they DO NOT delete those but guess what?? I cannot find mine or Kona's.
Interesting!!?? It is my guess Thrive paid them off too.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just pay us off instead of having to pay all the slime bags outside their door??

Did anyone do a balance transfer on their credit card with their sales floor company? Unfortunately I did. They did the three way calling thing and had me so distracted that I really didn't know what was going on. Any way I found out from my credit card companies that balanced transfers are not the same as a regular charge and aren't protected by charge backs or fraud reports. So basically it was like I handed them cash! I am such a fool!! So doing the credit card refund route is not going to work for me.
For those having trouble with the credit card companies with a regular charge from Thrive/sales floor there is the special provision of Claims and Defenses. If you made a purchase over $50 and within 100 miles of your home ( if Thrive/sales floor called you then the purchase is considered to have taken place in your state) you can protest the charges and refuse to pay the disputed charges by showing that the product was not as advertised or services were misrepresented (an understatement) while they do an investigation. So if you are past the 60 day charge-back time and they are hassling you about a fraud report try this method. Although you only have one year to do this and you have to do it in writing.
Here is where I got this info:dca.lacounty.gov/tsCreditCardDispute
