I'm sorry if I'm suprised by the negative comments i've read but this almost seems like a joke. I've had my business for 2 years now with ispeedway, I have nothing but great things to say and have had great fortune. A friend of mine was going to sign up recently when she found this comment page and told me about it. While it's true that I've invested about $1000 into my business (software & upgrades w/hosting & additional product access), I've made easily over $50K over the past 2 years. I sell their items and my items on my website and on Ebay. I can't understand what went wrong for anyone that has negative things to say but I do stand by my decision to use their software and work with this company.

I have filed a compliant with the State of Florida against Succeed Corporation D/B/A Internet Speedway. Do not let them send you a CD, you WILL be billed (use the program or not) until you find a way to stop it!

I am still trying and still yet I havent made any money and no proof of a web site has yet to be seen. How can any one make any money if no one can see any of your products. I told them it sounded too good to be true. They asured me it wasnt!! Be carefull, because it is!!!.......

For anyone wanting information, this companys name is Suceed Corporation D/B/A (doing buisness as) Internet Speedway, 11701 E 53rd Ave Unit A
I fell for it as well and have been billed $279.96 for the past 4 months, and now they are turning it over to collections. This is happening to alot of people and something has to be done about it. I hope all you people wont just stand by and let it happen. 1000 people filing complaints and wanting refunds has alot more weight then just me doing it. I am filing a complaint with the state of Florida, the BBB and with Suceed Corp itself. I will be refunded money withdrawn from my account no matter how long it takes or what the cost. Its people that do nothing that allow companies like this to take advantage of anyone they can get on the phone!

It seemed odd to me that a company that dealt solely in internet sales gave a phone number to call and NOT a website address

If they get enough complaints they can be shut down. State or local consumer protection offices. These government agencies mediate complaints, conduct investigations, and prosecute offenders of consumer laws.1201 S. Alma School Road 15500

Full comment
As of yesterday, my account was debited for $800. This is about all I have to buy food, pay bills and meet other expenses since both my wife and I are totally blind and are on fixed incomes. I have been looking for some means of making money on the internet which would enable me to keep up with expenses much better than I do presently! I wouldn't care if I made enough to no longer need the fixed income so long as I could keep up with all my expenses and maybe better my life! I'm afraid I'm a bit desperate though at this writing! I had my bank put a stop payment on them and hopefully I'll get my money in order to pay my bills! I really should have known better! I figured since I heard it on the radio both regular and satellite radio, it would be a reputable company! I'm wondering now whether some people are making money at the expense of others!

I called when I heard the ad on the radio. I talked to a guy named Kevin Swingel. The guy told me that I would be making hundreds every day and assured me that by taking the upgrades I would double my earning potential. I tried it for 20 days and wanted to cancel. I didn't have to pay more than the 9.95 and 29.95 for the upgrade but I only made about $75 during the entire time I tried it. This guy should have been more honest with me.

I got ripped off by this company after losing my job. The sales person told me that I could sell brand names like "sony" and "x-box". In reality there products are after-market and mediocre. I canceled and they still charged me the following month after the person I spoke with assured me that I would not be charged. Now I'll have to deal with that mess.

Okay, I listen to the radio stations and its amazing on how they do the sales approach on the radio.

From reading others on here it does sound like you are putting in allot of $'s of dollars and not receiving what paid for. Well I called a good friend that is truly a millionaire that started a business similar to this and after reviewing the website that offer his comment was get out. Here's the address he found for this company if anyone wants to file complaints 1201 S Alma School Rd, Mesa, AZ 85210-2008, United States

Does anyone out there know the physical address for Internet Speedway. I think it is time that we report their "scam" to the authorities in their home district. Like so many others I fell into their Lair. They never gave me the help they promised in even putting up a web site but continued to not only charge me $300.00 for their bogas program but started charging me $29.95 a month for "hosting fees" for a web site that wasn't even up and running. these people are BAD and need to be dealt with from a criminal basis. I intend to file a complaint with the Florida Attorney General as well as the authorities in their location- If I can find out where they are hiding. Can anyone out there help?? Thanks

Okay, I listen to the major radio stations and its amazing on how they do the sales approach on the radio.

To get your free cd just call 1-800 number

I even have it in my phonebook. I spoke to the gentleman who actually was cool with me on the phone and I asked him why is it $9.95? b/c he told me the information on the cd its free but its not free. $65. per month after that which means after 12 months if I am correct on this is around $800 a month.

From reading others on here it does sound like you are putting in 1000's of dollars and not getting anything done correctly.

Also he did mention that 65 - 70% succeed b/c the other 30% are just "dumb". I don't know what that means. he told me that people think that they will make a million dollars.

"Okay, so now that we went over this are you READY TO MAKE REAL MONEY"

i told him now that I am not buying into it at all.

For me, iSpeedway is just an average program..you just need to have a lot of dedication in order for it work..also the over all is not so expensive well unless if you upgrade your account..also the interface is very user friendly..one of the problems I've noticed though is that the free templates made the sites look a bit similar with one another..also the way they market this program is for novice only..which means that more experienced Internet Marketers when they used this program find it a bit boring and too easy.

Please be careful everybody. Yall have me all scared now and the only info i gave out is my address and email address and he only got that because that the firs thing he asked me when I called. I'm going to talk to my bank about putting alerts on my account because I don't want them taking anything. He asked me if I bougth things online. I'm paranoid that maybe he can get my info with only my name and address so imma cover all my bases. As for those of you on here talking about it working for you. I don't trust you guys. I believe you work for the company and cannot be taken seriously.
I'm sorry for those of you who feel for this. As soon as he asked me for my money. I said let me research you and see what's really good. I wanted to trust them because i had heard their ad on a Christian radio show, but lest face it yall. They get paid to advertise just like anyone else.

I didn't trust them from the get-up. There's always a catch. I have no problem sending 10 bucks to get what they were claiming to give you, but their ad said the cd was free. So after I got thru the good talk he asked me to pay the shipping and handling. I said I wanted to make sure they were legit and he was really adamant about geting me to commit to the ten dollars before I got off the phone. He gave me a number to call him back, but I don't think I will. This business is too shady. It would be something if it were only a few of you complaining, but most of you are. So thank you for saving me ten dollars and a headache.
I'm also skeptical about these so-called "success stories". I wouldn't be suprised if you guys are sales associates for the company. You have the same tone of voice. " If you don't do it you're just lazy..." Nope! I'm good. I'll start my business legitimately.

I have had the program now going into my 8th month. I can't understand all the negativity and "bad mouthing" of this company. They have all been polite, helpful, and encouraging during the entire time I've been running my business.
I was recently on a message board when I saw someone say that they were charged for $69.99 from "Ispeedway" without permission, I asked more questions to this person and came to find out that they were already past the 30 day trial and was billed the first payment of $69.99 on day 35. They then decided to quit the program and wanted their money back, from what the person said, at first they were unable to get a refund but after repeated emails to the owner, the guy got a refund and he still got to keep the $400 he made while trying out the system. I second the notion that "Running a business isn't for everyone" but I couldn't be happier with my decision to try this. I am currently making an average of $3000 a month and I'm also selling a combination of the... read more »

I just heard Ispeedway's information on the radio and called them. Having been thru alot recently investing in real estate with an investor group that advertises similarly to this co, I told the guy on the phone that I would never, ever, buy something without researching it first. I kept asking him to send me something in the mail. Nope. I asked him for a list of products that I could sell. I couldn't get anything up front - no information at all except what he told me on the phone. Weird, I thought. Finally, I harassed him enough that he gave me the co.'s web site address. Then I googled it. Thank God I did! It is fraudulent criminal activity for a co. to use cc #'s without permission (i.e., charging more than the $9.95 before the 30 days are up). If such were to occur, I would refer them to the DA. Also the BBB. I am sorry to all of you who have gotten such a raw deal.

How Ispeedway works is actually different then described above.
I love my website and was proven wrong when I thought that I couldn't run my own business and make good money. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I paid $9.95 initially for the shipping and handling, after my 30 day trial I made a little over $600 and decided to keep it. I called them back to pay the software in full for $350(otherwise it would have been 5 monthly payments of $69.99, totalling $350).
Not long after starting I was contacted by a marketing person and asked to upgrade to a bigger store package. I declined and figured I would be fine and I was right. I'm not going to lie though, I had to put in some time and effort to make this work but I'm glad I did. I'm making about $3500 a month while still working at my full time job, the extra money not only covers my house payment but also gives me extra money to send to my son at college.

I recieved an e-mail from this company, and I called in to inquire about hoe to make money online. After talking with them I spent the 9.95 shipping for the business. I did happen to upgrade to the turbo version. They claim you can be a millionaire (i am far from that) but I have had some realistic success. The first couple of months I only was making around 2k per month. After working with their marketing consultants, they have hellp me raise the monthly income to over 4k a month. I would suggest this to anyone who wants to supplement their income.

I have had some decent success so far with this program. I am not yet a millionaire as the radio ad mentioned but I have been able to make an average of $2000 a month in revenue for the past 5 months. I have not upgraded to any super store options but I do have the "turbo store" and "IMALL" (both which I paid $30 for as part of a promotion). I would reccommend it for at least a test drive.

Worth a try...
I read these comments right after I agreed to do "the free 30 day trial". I was very worried and felt I had been duped, well I got my password and link before I got the package, I just decided to make the best of it and try it.
I can tell you that I have been doing suprisingly decent with my site, I've been selling a combo of my own items with some of the available warehouse items. A good tip that I can advise is to mention your site on myspace and/or facebook pages.
Obviously I don't know how much anyone actually put into building and running their sites but I found it pretty easy to set up and run without having to buy or upgrade into what the "marketing person" was trying to get me to do. I would reccomend at least trying the 30 days, if you're serious about dedicating some time into building your site and making some money, it's worth it.

The majority of the negative comments I see on here are only about the mere shipping and charging which only grazes the surface of what this company could potentially be...This is not near enough to convince me that this company is a scam. Have any of you taken the initiative to actually follow up to the full extent of what this company has to offer? Starting a business takes a lot of time, money, and the will to take a risk, that is simply common sense. Those of you who make all of these assumptions before actually putting in the time and effort to see what this company really has to offer should not be entrepreneurs. As a matter of fact, if you aren't willing to put in any time or money to follow through with starting a business then you should go back to working your job. But no offense to that, it takes all kinds. Have any of you actually done anything with this besides the first step? If so, I'm all ears.

They claim you can cancel withing 30 days and get a refund. Forget it. When I called to find out where my refund was, they said, because they had sent a link to some phony report I had to pay the $69.80---no refund. Sorry sucker!!!

This program is all about the bait and switch. Sure, you can get a generic template site going selling complete trash that no one will buy for a small amount of money. But any of the products worth selling require MUCH more up front capital, that you could be using in a myriad of better ways (IMO tossing it on 00 at a roulette table is a better investment). I have one very gullible friend that I attempted to help with this program for months, telling her that is was a scam the entire time. Eventually, she believed me...

*****DON'T DO IT - DON'T DO IT - DON'T DO IT*****
INTERNET SPEEDWAY IS A TOTAL RIP-OFF NO MATTER WHAT PLAN THEY ARE PUSHING ONLINE TODAY
I fell for the hype in Jan 2007 and paid approximately $1400.00 for a "professionally done web-site" and all I got was a generically templated site that I could have probably gotten for a lot less elsewhere. Working with the web-site was tedious and really time consuming and when I called for the "free" assistance, I was given a song and dance to move up to a $3000.00 dollar site.
The products that were advertised were for the higher level site, but that wasn't revealed until I had already joined and been scammed. The products that were available to me at the lower level were inferior and over priced.
Customer service was less than helpful for the most part. It consisted mainly of being handed off to a salesman and being pounded to upgrade and always at higher and higher dollar amounts.
I filed complaints with the Better ... read more »

You have to admit that it sounds good...until you call and get sucked into spending $300. My first phone call to ispeedway resulted in me purchasing a free trial...wait a minute I just paid $300 for a FREE trial!! I was told that I would be able to sell products such as Playstation, XBox, Sony, etc. When I asked which particular models he was talking about he didn't have access to that info. Lets face it no one wants to buy a Playstation 2. That didn't stop me though. I bought the package anyway. Minutes later I received an email with my activation #...called a marketing representitive as I was directed and her advice to me was to click on everything and learn about the website. Which I did and still was unable to build a website that was even remotely appealing. The most exciting part was building my store (briefly) until I discovered that I only had access to a very limited amount of product. I called to return my package and was offered the free upgrade to 500 products and a profess... read more »

Ispeedway is big RIPOFF,everytime I called for support or technical advice. I got a sale pitch from a high pressure salesperson. Most of their merchandise is extremely over priced. I personally didn't have any good dealing with them.

Hi everyone I just received an e-mail from ispeedway and called them immediatly. They talk a good game. After reading all of your comments I now have mixed emotions about it. I am a single mother of 5 and I could use the moneyif it is as good as ispeedway claims. If I had to spend anything over the $300, it wouldbe a problem for me. They are uploading some information via-email until I get my prepaid visa card loadedto pay for s&h. Could someone give me an honest heartfelt opinion pplease?

Do Not purchase anything from ispeedway!!! They will take your money and will do nothing to help after that but give you a run a round. We were one of the idiots to give them over 3000 dollars and make zero dollars after much time and more money spent paying for other services to help our web site. They say that they will direct buyers to your site and we did get visitors (scam), but no person looked at anything behind the first page which we talked to them about and got another run a round. Please donot fall for their line of B. The products that they give you to sell are overstock type and no great buys on the customers side

I received the software package and determined it was not what I was looking for. I had decided on an alternate vendor and contacted the company for authorization to return what was received. Authorization was received and once I returned the package I continued to be billed every month.

Upon receiving the on-going billing I contacted the company and was told they did not show any return from me and would investigate. They would stop the billing the date of my call but would not refund any amounts prior to my telephone call.

I was told if I could not prove that I had returned the package or if they could not find my telephone number in their customer service data base there was nothing they could do and they would not return prior charges.

Had I not returned the product within the specific time frame I would be more understanding but I had followed their directions to the letter.

Sorry Guys,
I haven't had but good results with ISpeedway, Inc. They have been more than helpful to get my Superstore set up just as I want it. I had choices of what color and background and everything. I'm looking forward to my online store sales very soon. They were VERY nice to me, explained everything I was getting with the silver superstore upgrade. I took my time in deciding IF I wanted to upgrade because of the prices. They were very patient with me through it all. Sometimes I DID get a response for me to go ahead and give them my credit number so we could get started. But like I said before you have that option to decide when and they allow you to take your time when you are ready. Afterall, They have to make living too. But no pressure sales whatsoever in my experience with ISpeedway Inc.
Good Luck in your adventures.
A word Of Thought: This takes VERY hard work and lots of reading and analyzing the situation as to whether it's for you personally.

I ordered my CD from Ispeedway back in Feb so now my 30 days of free trial is over. I had to work very hard and long hours to set up my website but I did it all myself. I have never done anything like this before also. Added products and made my website appealing to my customers. Yes, I had to pay $9.95 for the P&H of the CD. I also paid 199.99 to set up to have the ability to accept credit cards and transfer money if I have a sale on my website. Applied Merchants Bank was very helpful in getting the account set up so I would have the ability to send and receive payments to and from my customers. I'm sorry guys but I think I have something going for me here at Internet Speedway Inc. But it takes a LOT of time and patience and determination on your part to get it off the ground. I have added lots of beautiful jewelry and cosmetics to my website. I haven't upgraded to a Super Store yet. But in time I will so I'm looking forward to that very soon.

I told him I wanted to cancell my membership and he said ok, was there any reason why I wanted to cancell and I said yes, that I would not be able to get the upgrade because I would not be able to afford it, well he said I'm going to upgrade your account up 500 products and have it professionlly built for me for free, and I said wow, now that was cool becuase to upgrade is very costly, so I didn't cancell because I finally got my site on google in the number one spot for all my SEO efforts.

I have recently heard the internet speedway advertisements on the radio and I decided to give it a try. Sure, the CD was free, but I had to pay $10 for shipping. I have not once used the CD. They gave me all the information I needed to get started via e-mail.

So here's the catch: You can only put products on your page from THEIR warehouse. They don't exactly have the best product inventory. As you browse through the categories and products, reaching the 4th or 5th page in EVERY category, you'll start noticing a bright "Upgrade Membership Now" logo on every product. You can not add that product to your page until you upgrade for approximately $3000. And most of the products you will view on the first 1-4 pages that you ARE allowed to add to your site to sell, aren't the things people are searching for on the internet. I even paid an extra $15 for a traffic-builder for my page (which, by the way, doesn't work) I have had 0 visits to my site and 0 sales! I will surely be sen... read more »

Here's a thought for you..If all of this hipe was so great, why are they working for someone else when they could be making "thousands" running their own business with ISpeedway. Just a thought..

i believe that i speedway is guilty of firstly naming this business i speedway and secondly of passing out supposed, free cd's you just cant do this type of thing in a world, not only full of negatism, and skepticism, but also in a world thats looking for a handout. However, this is what seemed to have drawn the common thought that i can speed my way,freely and effortlessly my way to riches and that if things dont go ones way for whatever reason being they whine, it has always been a known fact that nothing in this life has ever been free be it monetary, nor your time, moreover, that anything worth having is worth working for but first not only does one have to believe in him or her self but also in that of their endeavors...I have only experienced, honest, speedy, helpful, as well as good customer services with my speedway.

The guy that said Internet speedway is legit and people are sitting back wanting something for nothing probably works for internet speedway. He is the one getting something for nothing, he's getting our money for nothing. I ordered the CD and immediately moved money out of my account. My bank called me to tell me a company has been repeatedly trying to access my account for over $200. I explained to them about internet speedway and showed them this scam site. He promptly turned to his computer, put the insufficient fund charge back, wiped out all negative comments and wiped my slate clean.. then said have a nice day. I was lucky, its normally not that easy to have your bank save your account.

Heard the radio ad, spoke with Angela. She wanted my credit card info for 9.95 shipping. I told her NO - I would send them a USPS Money order. She said they cant accept that. I asked what the address of the company is and she said she was in a different location. I asked where that location was and we always came back to the question of "Whats holding yo u back today Charlz?" I told here I needed to research them first and not just haphazardly hand out my CC number. She made it sound like I would get 6 months for free then I could easily cancel. Warning, if a company gets your CC number and they wipe out your account, it takes 1-3 months to get it corrected. I had this problem with GOOGLE advertising and even though they admitted the problem was their fault, it still took 2 months to get that money safely back. For the internet, use a prepaid card or use an account with a limited amount of funds in it. For any online venture, search the name of it and add the word scam to it. You will ... read more »

All of this bashing on it not being free. Why do people expect to get something for nothing ?

If you look @ ispeedways website, ALL of this information is readily available. 9.95 non refundable shipping and handling charge, if you decide to keep the product, you pay the 5 payments, or you have a choice to pay it in one lump sum and get unlimited pages for your internet website, and you SAVE $100.

I've done my research, and I think that starting a business with Ispeedway is something that holds promise for me.

Business' take a lot of work, REAL WORK, you can't expect to get a free site, and it do all the work for you while you sit on your rear ends eating donuts just waiting for the cash to come into your account.

Internet business' take time, proper website development, like meta tagging, search engines, etc. As well as knowing how to market to the proper client base depending on who your target consumer is.

I thought it was to good to be true--a free CD to start your own Internet business. When I ask the representative to give me their physical address (so I could check the BBB), he said, "he had to check his business card because no one had asked that before!" If that was TRUE, I am shocked that someone would allow a business to bill their credit card $9.95 for shipping a 30-day trial product ($69 x 5 months or $350 total) without even knowing their physical address. He fianl gave me the physical address. I told him that I would research the company and call him back. He tried to pressure me into purchasing the product, but I said, "I will call you back!" This advertisement has been running on an Atlanta radio station that features a national known African-American radio personality--I am SHOCKED!!!

Why should we have to send a 'free CD' that we paid 9.99$ for back? It's a total scam. The best thing to do is call your credit card company, explain what ispeedway is, and they will back you up 100%.

We got our credit card canceled, so that ispeedway couldn't pull fake recordings, and make us pay things that we never ordered in the first place like they've done to billions of other citizens.

I repeat in capital letters. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS CROOKED COMPANY!!!. They are a fraud and should be put out of business. You invest time and effoort in this investment and when you call for help, they hustle you to get more money. Their so called professional built websites are mirrors of each other and they are not up to par with the latest in e commerce technology (ex. search engine optimization). I too was scammed into thinking that this program would work. But how are you going to compete when your wholesale costs are higher than most other retail priced items sold by other websites. The thieves make their money charging higher wholesale costs, bogus warehouse direct membership charges and inadequate websites.
Does anyone know if internet speedway provides annual report of their successful merchants or how much internet speedway is making scamming people. They should be held accountable for their deceptive methods and unethical customer support practices!

About 18 months ago, this company started charging my wifes credit card out of the blue. When confronted, they immediately went into a script of how we ordered their program and didnt cancel in time to avoid monthly 70 dollar charges. We never ordered anything. They pulled their recordings and it wasnt us that ordered it. They still refused a refund. I had to call the company CEO about 6 times to get a response, but the money kept coming out. I was finally issued a refund check after leaving countless voicemails for him. I received just a check, no apology or explanation.

If you do a search on Google for "powered by internet speedway" you get all of their sites. Ask the owners of the sites how they do, none of them are happy, I never got one positive response.

It used to be that on Google, if you typed in Internet Speedway, you got a question back "Did you mean Internet Speedway Scam?".
