I am very new to this, so if I am violating any standards let me know. I have been researching this company and decided to check to see if there was a Wikipedia article on them. I have no idea who started this article, but it there seem to be some references that are not accurate. I do not intend to edit nor add to the information presented, but my experience is that the company is a sham. Numerous attempts to contact Ontraport have gone unanswered and I receive daily spam referencing the company. A complaint to the BBB was made and it too went unanswered. 2605:E000:AA84:5100:9DC4:2135:B44E:AB96 ( talk) 15:40, 6 April 2015 (UTC) reply

I am pretty new too. This seems like a press release, and they also run a conference that seems spammy too. Dsbinla ( talk) 00:32, 14 June 2017 (UTC) reply
