Warning Before You Sign: Serious Concerns Raised About Create Business
This article is based on customer experiences and publicly shared reviews. It reflects reported experiences and allegations from individuals. Readers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence.
Allegations of High-Pressure Sales Tactics & Lack of Transparency
One potential customer shared that after considering signing with the business, they were immediately concerned by what they described as:
- A secretive sales approach
- Refusal to provide detailed information
- Refusal to provide referrals
- An unwillingness to connect them with existing operators
According to this review, when hesitation was expressed, the response was persistent follow-up calls — including from different and withheld numbers — and repeated text messages over a two-month period.
“Due to their lack of openness and questionable tactics I would not recommend this business.”
The reviewer also claims they received three emails during May, including an invoice for $8,997 dated May 8, despite expressing reluctance to proceed.
They further allege that some positive reviews online appear duplicated on the company’s website.
✍️ Serious Claims Regarding Signature & Documentation
A second review raises more concerning allegations regarding documentation practices.
The reviewer claims:
- Terms and conditions were placed below the submit button
- No visible mention of terms and conditions before submission
- They were allegedly coerced into providing a signature over the phone
- Their signature was later used on documents they claim they never intended to sign
According to this account:
“They were falsely using my signature to documents I never intended to sign and showing that as evidence on dispute.”
The individual states that after receiving login details, they realized they had allegedly agreed to a contract they would not have signed had they seen the full terms beforehand.
They say they immediately requested a refund on October 23rd and later disputed the transaction through their bank (CBA) on October 24th, 2022.
The reviewer also questioned whether the company operates as an educational program or a franchise model, claiming a lack of clarity about the business structure.
💰 Refund Concerns
The second reviewer also alleges difficulty obtaining a refund despite the company marketing itself as refund specialists.
“Even though they are claiming refund specialist they don’t refund.”
The dispute is reportedly still ongoing and described as “hard to deal with.”

Read What Real Users Say
I initially considered signing with this business, but the sales process immediately raised red flags for me. The sales pitch felt unprofessional and lacked transparency. When I requested detailed information and asked for referrals to existing operators, those requests were refused.
As I expressed hesitation, the pressure increased. I began receiving repeated phone calls from different numbers — including withheld numbers — along with persistent text messages. This continued for up to two months after I had already shown reluctance to proceed.
In May alone, I received three emails from a company representative, including an invoice dated 8 May for $8,997, despite not having committed to moving forward.
What concerned me most was the refusal to provide contact details of an existing operator so I could independently assess the viability of the business model. That lack of openness was alarming. If everything is legitimate and successful, there should be nothing to hide.
Additionally, I noticed that some of the positive reviews appear dated and are duplicated on their own website, which raises further questions.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend proceeding without conducting very thorough due diligence. Please be cautious before committing any money.
What You Should Do Before Signing Any Agreement
If you are considering joining any business, franchise, or educational program:
- Request written documentation before signing anything
- Read full terms and conditions carefully
- Ask to speak to existing clients or operators
- Record timelines of communication
- Avoid signing documents over the phone
- Consult a legal professional if unsure
- Use secure payment methods
📢 Final Thoughts
These accounts raise serious concerns. While they represent individual experiences and allegations, they highlight the importance of due diligence when entering financial agreements.
If you’ve had a similar experience, documenting it clearly and factually is important. If the company wishes to respond to these concerns, transparency would help clarify the situation.
