Why after all these reports, credit/debit card disputes, US Postal service fraud reports filed and this website listing the same complaints from everyone, is this continued to go on?
I've taken the necessary steps and reported this company to all officials, the newspaper who posted the ad and have signed that I would be willing to prosecute.
These "pond scum" are worthless. I realize with all the scams out there it's time consuming to keep track, but when reports are filed, why are they still left to scam more people.
I also fell for this "great income opportunity working from home". I paid the $339.00, but on my debit card. This is harder to get a refund than a credit card. Anyway, I received the CD & instructions. It indicates that I need to register with county clerk, get an EIN #, open a business checking account, then contact Processor Support to get set-up & software program activated. On 08/17/11 I spoke with a woman named "Clara" (dialed 866-230-7441). She was very rude and ignorant==to say the least! I told her I wanted a refund due to the fact that after reading the statements posted, this was a scam. At that time, there were 37 postings. I advised Clara of that & she said "well, we have over 3,000 people working for us, so 37 complaints aren't too bad". -She also said they do not give refunds. She also wanted to know where I got this phone number from & proceeded to tell me the customer service is 877-422-7270 Good Luck to us all @ getting our money back. Not sure if I really want to continue-I just hate to throw away $339.00. I might just contact my back again & see what they can do.
I am being scammed by this outfit. I responded to an ad in a local newspaper. The man's name was Steve (after repeated phone calls I got his last name - Steve Fritz). He said the name of his company was Physician Data Base. I too would be pad $425.00 part time which would be approximately 17 hours per week. I was afraid it was a scam but desperately needing work I gave him my credit card. The company name charged to my card for $339.00 was INTEGRATED ADVANCEMENT, LOS ANGELES CA. That's what brought me here. I called Steve and told him what I found and thought this was a scam. He was very indignant about it and said he would have to cancel my software purchase. I agreed of course. They still sent me the software and actually supplied a phony fraudulent email showing my purchase. THERE WAS NEVER ANY EMAIL EXCHANGED. I have no return address to send the software back and I now have to fight with my credit card company to get my money back.

Alice, I did get my money back on my Chase card. Write an in depth letter to your card company once they send you the dispute. Include a copy of all this info here on this site Integrated Advancement company and also all the stuff they sent you (there is no actual software on the CD Rom they sent)., Send all this as a part of your dispute paperwork. It will take about 90 days to get your money back, but you will get it back. When my card company (Chase) called them to speak to them about their end of the dispute, they never bothered to answer or to call Chase back after Chase tried to contact them repeatedly, so it became obvious to Chase also that these guys are scammers and crooks. Several of us are still working on findoug out where tehse people are so as to file Federal Mail Fraud charges on them among other things. If you need any help please let several of us here know. We've been through are or going through this., Temija@aol.com
This person's name was Ron and talked about working from home. You could work 17 hours a week and earn 425.00 or 37 hours and earn 850.00. You paid for a program that cost 339.00 and you would get the money back in 18 months. I used my credit card have been chared and received nothing in the mail yet. I would do the training and in 2 days call and information would be sent to me via UPS or Fex Ed enter information in to the computer and send it back via electronic. I don't have the phone number and now I'm begining to think I have been scamed. Help if you can.

Believe me, you have been scammed....they do NOT have any doctors lined up for you to work with and that's IF yuo get past the test. You're setting yourself up for verbal abuse and theft. This scam has changed from $319 to $339 and from 12 months to get your money back to 18 months. I too fell for this but I have gotten my money back from Chase (my credit card provider). What you get from them is NOTHING that will help you work for them or anyone else. Believe me, they didn't even bother to return Chase's phone calls to them. If you need more info, as there is a growing group of us that are banding together, please email me at temija@aol.com. ~ Teresa

Hi Shirley, The person I spoke with was Steve Fritz. He gave me the same pay information, same charge for software. He said his company's name was Physicians Data Base and was to type data for a local doctor. I was never going to be reimbursed for the software however. I called my credit card company to tell them I was afraid it was scam. After the charge came through under Integrated Advancement, I researched it and found this website. I called Steve back at 800-501-9408 and told him. He acted very insulted. I asked for proof that this was a legitimate job offer but of course he declined. He said he would cancel my software. BUT THEY DIDN'T. THEY SENT IT REGISTERED MAIL WITH NO COMPANY NAME ON IT FROM SEATTLE, WA. I SIGNED FOR IT AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR IT. I'M NOW CORRESONDING WITH HSBC TO GET THE CHARGE REVERSED AGAIN!! THEY ALSO SEND A COPY OF AN EMAIL THAT I NEVER EVER SAW. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ANYONE CAN DO THAT-IT ACTUALLY SCARES ME. I think if you refuse the package I don't think your credit card company can charge you. Just tell them it's a scam. Good luck to you and wish me luck as well. If I wasn't so desperate for a job right now I never would have fallen for this. I thought I had myself covered but now I see they are really bad people.
Like everyone here I have feel for this scam... I did pass their so called test and they have sent me 6 different doctors name and address with an attachment of a letter, analysis and health agreement. none of which have panned out. Currently I am trying to get enough information to put together a Civil Suit against them. If anyone would like to join me please e-mail me at ssherryla@aol.com. I worked for a attorney for 7 years and I know that we can at least try a civil suit. What I am going for is exactly what their add called for:
Local data entry/typists
needed immediately. $400 Pt-
$800 Ft/weekly. Flexible
schedule, work from own Pc.
800-920-4851
I was told I was guaranteed work. I do have all this on recorded. That makes it a verbal agreement. I started in January ( I know what took so long to do something, just have not had time) I have figured they have lost me a total of around $12,000 in what they claim I could have made. Should anyone want to join me please e-mail me.
