WORKIEZ: Please Stop Deceiving U.S. Military Veterans

WORKIEZ has barraged the Internet & social media with misinformation that deceives military veterans about the true risks of the JDog franchise program.  Please ask WORKIEZ and its investors to remove its baseless claims & stop misleading U.S. Veterans & their families.  by Sean Kelly, Operation Franchise Truth for Veterans

(UnhappyFranchisee.Com)  U.S. military veterans made personal sacrifices and put their safety on the line to defend our freedom and well being.

Now it’s our turn to defend them.

For years, Berwyn, PA-based JDog Franchises, LLC & its associates have promoted a false success story that led many trusting veterans into bankruptcy and financial ruin. (See:

Companies like WORKIZ have helped obscure the true risks and high failure rates of the JDog Junk Removal and JDog Carpet Cleaning franchises by posting false information and deceptive claims.  (See:  WORKIZ LIES: The JDog False Success Story )

The truth is – according to the company’s own numbers and a warning by the California Department of Financial Protection & Innovation (CDFPI) – out of 344 JDog franchises that opened, 244 exited prematurely through terminations or ownership transfers.

The list of JDog franchise owners who had their franchises terminated or transferred includes veterans from every branch of military service, including the ARMY, NAVY, MARINE CORP. and COAST GUARD.  (List of JDog Franchisees With Closed or Failed Franchises )
