For the past several years, commenters on Ripoff Report have been complaining that PosiGrip is a scam. Here’s the latest from Thomas:
Posigrip is indeed a total ripoff! Nothing else!

I bought a dealership about 1 year ago! First of all it’s not a Franchise!!!! It’s just a dealership you purchase, you don’t even get a Territory!! The product works fine and is easy to apply. The problem is the company itself!
It’s just a “whole in the wall” in Daytona FL, 2 rooms and a small warehouse. The training you get takes 30Minutes! I should have canceled my check and run the moment I saw it…well I didn’t…my mistake!
Now to the facts: it’s extremely difficult to sell the stuff!
There is ABSOLUTELY NO support from Posigrip!
The advertisement they promise never happens! They don’t attend any trade shows as they promise you! I never got any lead from them, there are NO corporate accounts as they promise. In the whole 12 month the only times they did contact me was for money. They offer a free display for expo, which you’ll get…the display is a piece of sh… it cost you more shipping than yopur own one would cost you.
They don’t even send you an email about new products, what’s going on in the market or whatever!
The post cards, introductions, or whatever they offer you….just forget about it – to much work, to much cost – not working at all!!
There are other companies in the market with the same product. If you think that business is for you, talk to them, but stay away from posigrip! It’s a very big ripoff!
Any questions or complaints or ideas or if you think I’m wrong or if you have any helping ideas!!

I don't know why I didn't see this before we bought "into" this company. I have $15k worth of their stuff in my garage and house now. We researched and found not much on Ceil-Tech, but didn't see the info on PG. To Bee Careful, can you give us any insight into how you go about marketing this on your own? I pretty much had a feeling that we would have to do a TON of legwork by ourselves, and really wasn't surprised by the "whole in the wall" office (which it REALLY is). However, we were really hoping these products would help us get a decent business going.
As for the training, we were there for about 6 hours. Half of that was on Ceil-Tech and half was on PosiGrip.
I'm sad to even share this finding with my husband as he was so hoping this would be a great thing for us. Any advice on how to make a real go of it will be greatly beneficial. Thanks so much in advance! We have yet to get our business up and running and there are more fees to pay for that. We need to be able to pay for our initial investment at least. UGH.
Hi Rochelle,
I would be happy too. I will need an email address that directly contacts you.
Regards
No problem. I have a gmail account you can send to. It's rockisjunkmail with the at gmail dot com at the end. Hopefully this will come through. I'm not sure what the rules are for posting emails and such. Thank you SO much! Also, where are you located? We are in FL.
Hey Rocki.
I dropped you an email. Please let me know that you received it.
Thanks. Got it.
Hey bee careful,
I'm a young entrepreneur, found posi grip online. Couple questions if you can answer. I seen this business as a good idea because I have a few potential customers and have good experience marketing any type of product.
1.) how does the service sell and what are the prices?
2.) what are (if any) the competitors in the market. (Midwest, Michigan)
I am thinking about buying into Posigrip, if bee careful or anyone else can help me make up my mind I could use the help. [redacted]
Eli..would love to try and answer questions.. My email is up there under Nov 30. [redacted]
Bee Careful, I would be very interested in asking you some questions about Posigrip as well if you wouldnt mind. My email aaddress is [redacted].
[Note: To exchange contact information with another commenter, both must contact unhappyfranchisee[at]gmail.com giving permission. Thanks. ADMIN]
I would be happy to help any of you in need. Again, I wont trash the company as the product does work and I have sold the service however, I just don't like being told that they are high on support (gaining clients) when that is simply not the case. You will be for the most part on your own which is not much different than starting any biz but dont tell me that your going to supply potential accounts and then supply nothing.
I will email the admin giving permission to contact me directly.
