L.,

I took a look at their web site. There is a section to see what other businesses think of OurGV, and it's sending up a red flag for me. It lists interviews with the CEO of Netwebtrends.org, and homebusinessinfo.org. The problem with this is that THEY ARE THEY SAME GUY! It's Chad Shapiro, and he's also the CEO of OurGV. This guy's got a couple of different web "enterprises" going, and he's using one to endorse others. This does not necessarily guarantee that it's not on the up and up, but makes me wary.

This appears to be a company who recruit people to do fundraising for nonprofits. The non-profit sets up a website through which their supporters can shop, and the nonprofit gets a commission on the sales. So does the salesperson, and the person who recruited, and the person who recruited them, on up the chain.

Please, stay away from businesses that focus more on recruiting others than they do on a quality product. It's not a good way to do business, or a reliable way to make money.

Nowhere in this website was there are discussion of the percentage of money going to the charities, or of exactly what they are selling. Two more red flags.
