BBB warns consumers about 30 Day Success Formula, based in Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE -- The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is warning about a Wisconsin-based company, 30 Day Success Formula. In the past five months, more than 150 consumers have complained to BBB about the business -- with total losses exceeding $150,000.

30 Day Success Formula, which has an F rating with the BBB, uses three Wisconsin addresses – in Oak Creek, Kenosha and Mt. Pleasant. All of them are rental boxes at UPS Stores.

According to the complaints noted by the BBB, the company promises consumers they can earn thousands of dollars when they become a member for a fee. However, the only “product” they receive when they join are flyers to help them recruit others into their program. If consumers didn’t receive at least their initial investment back within 90 days, the company would refund their money, complainants said. Flyers weren’t sent on their behalf, and promised refunds were never issued, according to the complaints.

Complaints have come from consumers in 38 states plus Puerto Rico, most of which have not been responded to by the company. Consumers say they lost between $89 and $12,500 each. In addition, the company did not respond to BBB’s requests for basic information, to substantiate claims made on its website and to correct a pattern of BBB complaints.
