I found the same thing when I first heard of them. It seems like they specifically chose the name to be like many other names so that it would be difficult to find information about them online. That is one reason why I started my blog entry like I did, saying their name several times and the name of the software, hopefully google will pick it up and people will find SAG instead of unrelated companies when investigating them.
I don't really know anything about charge backs, I've never had to do one. Maybe someone else does? I know that SureBetPro had a lot of troubles with people doing chargebacks, and while they exaggerated what arbitrage was, at least they basically delivered a working product and only charged $139 a month for it. So if people could do chargebacks against them all the time, then it seems odd that people couldn't do one against AusSoft....
Hi, I am new to ARB trading also and received many phone calls from Aussoft doing a hard sell for their program.
I also ran a google check and found nothing other than a couple of listings that go to their website.
I am glad I turned them down each time having read the notes on this forum.
The last call I received from "Jeanette" if that is her real name the other day telling me they only had 30 places left at $7800 and that the price would go to nearly double next round.
I must say I had considered joining but something didn' t sound right. I now know I made the right decision.
On the subject of ARB trading, some time ago I received information from another Gold Coast based company called " RHODES PENISULAR INVESTMENTS".
They sent me a brochure and seemed to be above board. I also ran a google check and again found a few listings and their brochure on line.
They to were asking a figure of around $7000 for a five year period offering a "managed fund".
I said no as I did not have a spare $7000.
I then received an offer of a 1 year "trial" for $2000 which I thought sounded good so paid them with a credit card.
They assured my I would receive my outlay $2000 plus my starting bank $1000 total $3000 back within around 10 weeks.
Looking at my account it is going backwards and I must say I now feel like some of the others on the forum that I have been "conned".
I have had some trouble getting a hold of someone in their so called Customer Service or getting someone to reply to the many emails I have sent explaining my concerns.
I received a call from a fellow called Peter telling me a customer service rep would call me as one was being appointed.
I did then finally get a call from Andre advising he had just started and would be looking after customer service. They keep telling me they have around 8000 accounts.
So far I have been with them since 11 July and have seen nothing come in from their trades to cover the losing trades they have made from my account.
When I question them I keep getting told that because they deal with overseas bookmakers it sometimes can take 2 to 4 weeks before I see a deposit from Rhodes Peninsular.
Again I queried Andre advising that nothing has been deposited and am now told that of 8000 account only 3 accounts have not had deposits made due to some error that they are trying to correct.
I have a bad feeling that I have been had again!
Just wondering if anyone else here has any dealings with these guys. If so I would love to hear your experiences with them.
At the moment its wait and see.
I too am seriously considering having my bank do a charge back on my credit card.
