Scam Alert

Hi Fred,

found your site while trying to find a legitimate home business. What can you tell me about EDC Gold and MyOnlineIncomeSystem?

I'm totally new to online marketing. I have zero computer skills beyoned being able to do basic online searches, use email, download songs from iTunes. I am NOT interested in learning how to configure my own web site and write HTML. I need something that a high school kid could figure out how to do.

Thanks for your time!

I would like you to report ASI Healthcare as a scam and would like you to investigate them. If you need more contacting info. on the company, pls. email me.
Thanks.

I went to a website today called scamxposer.com and this guy trys to get one up on people by dis-crediting other review websites and the best part is he uses his kids as leverage to really work you over. What a scam artist. We appreciate your hard work Fred so keep it up

Hi Fred
Signed up with Angela Stevens about a month ago. So far, no luck. Can you share your personal experience with her.

Thanks

I would like to know if you have any info about this site.

Thanks,

Hi there. Just want some info on IPaidSurvey. Yes or no? Also, survey companies asking for a one time fee.

you guys should check out profitlance.com
it has had no negative feedback that i am aware of after googling if it's a possible scam, plus there are numerous different youtube videos by different people concerning this money making scheme.
check it out?

Response from Fred:
Yes Profit Lance is a great and legit program, you should do well with it. http://myonlineincomesystem.com is another very good program at half the price.

whythrive.com and thriveli.com --I signed up with Michael Matthew workathomemillionaire and then they called me with this opportunity. I signed on but now I'm scared it maybe a scam -- they sounded like the 1-to-1 coaching thing that was on your site here but it did not have any feedback on this and charged $5150 on my credit card -- they help you build a website that is ecommerce ready and hook into ebay and wholesalers learning somehow give you 3-4 mos training and then life time of reactive support. Can you check them out and let me know ASAP -- Thank you.

Fred:

Tim this company is legit and so is the one-on-one opportunity. If you are going to stick to the coaching program than go for it however if you arent serious about it, it wont work.

Hey Fred, I would like you to investigate closely a, what seems to be, bogus money making opportunity offered by Mainland China Trading Co. I actually was an agent that signed up and quickly moved into a position to help run the business. The owners always had a level of secrecy and after a while I was able to piece together what was truth, what was misleading or a withholding of the truth and what was a bold face lie. What fools people is the fact that the industry, (import/export) which this opportunity deals with, is completely legit and can make you a whole lot of money. My problems/questions are with Mainland China Trading and it's owners, not the business opportunity/industry itself. Thank you so much for your consideration. Please contact me for details and help with beginning your research. There is way too much to cover which won't fit in this first communication between us. Thanks again and have a great day.

Best Regards,
John

this company is great i have increased my sales over five thousand per month. greg

Paid survey Bank:

Can you give the low down on this survey;
I received from them a check for $4495.00 and instructions to deposit the check and then do three tings with the money.
1 probation pay $300.00
2 required funds to be transferred by money gram $4465.00
3 Money gram service charges $130.00
4. funds need for shopping
which all equal the check amount 0f $4495.00
is this a big scam or what?

Hiya!! :)
I've been checking out this online company called
http://www.theisecret.com/
and I wanted to know if you knew anything about it. I've searched all over google and yahoo and whatnot, and I've found nothing to disprove or prove that this is real. People have speculated that it is, in fact, a scam, but they don't have any solid facts, only that it 'looks like a scam'. Can you check it out for me? Pretty please?

Thanks so much!!!!

Baily,

A great program thats really helping a lot of people right now is My Online Income System by Kimberely Hoffman. ISecret doesn't have a bad rap that I am aware of but I can tell you for sure that My Online Income is working!

Fred

Can you give me information about Jeff Paul's program? I ordered it but didn't open the package yet. My Husband has Alzheimers and just lost his job. I am looking for something he can do without too much thinking. I am currently working with the fourpoint online group. Supporting company is Melaleuca, the best program I have found.I can give more info if you need it. I have been sick so much I need a mentor to work with me and make calls if I am unable to. They have 3 free websites, no product ordering for others etc.

I'm a little weary of this, because there are so many scams out there. What do you know about this system? Is it legitimate?

Laura

My Online Income System is one of few systems I HIGHLY recommend. This is a great program that anyone will do great with.

Fred

Hi Fred,

I have heard nothing but good things about "My Online Income System" by Kimberley Hoffman and especially how good the support is. But, I have emailed support, which I believe is Kimberley's email which is: info@myonlineincomesystem.com with no response to 3 big questions that will help me make a decision to sign up with her or not. If the support is suppose to be a 10 out of 10 why are they not responding to my emails ? On her website it says Kim offers support second to none but this makes me think that this is in fact a scam. Please help.

Scott, check your email. Your sending emails to the wrong email address.

Hello - Data Entry Made Easy is a great program!

My daughter received this email and wanted to know if it is worth checking out for the one-time $30 fee?

Good Day Fred,

Fred I'm writing to about a company whythrive.com they called and I had told them I was really interested in Michael Dloughy plan. right off he started putting
it down saying it was a scam..

-----------------
Martin, whythrive is actually a very good company and they are legitimate. Thier sales team may have come accross the wrong way however they have helped thousands of people become successful online.

Fred

Jessica Jones: keep sending me this email telling me that I can get paid by filling in surveys. I am tired of being lyied to. The cost is $57.00 a one time fee. Paid Survey System

I subscribed to this freelance work site, thinking I would be making extra work. All that is in my email account is advertisings everyday. Since I am already a member, I should not have all these advertising. Everytime I sign in I can not get into the jobs section and always encounter an error on the pages. Yes, I have tried to send complaints to them, but they act like I have never signed in. Here are some scam articles I found my self, but I need to find out if they are a real company or REAL SCAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Tonya

Re: Fred

Give me some time to look into this and I will see what i can find.

Fred

Dear Fred,
I need your help badly. I did as you recommended and bought MyIncomeOnline and did all that I was supposed to. I was given a website which I then purchased a Domain name for but when I go to my website, I am unable to do anything with it. I can't get an answer from Kimberly Hoffman on this so I am hoping you can help me. I believed what you said and have spent a good deal of money doing everything that the MyOnlineIncome told me to do. Oh, please, say you can help and email personally. Thank you so much.
Sincerely needing your help.
Donna

Donna,

Fred

thanks

Promise instant credit and gives none or very little. A waste of time!

The Thrive Learning Institute eliminates “trial and error”. The reason trial and error is not a valuable method to use when starting your own business is because it uses the two most valuable things that the majority of people like me and you lack the most, which is “time” and “money”. Any person can go out and figure out how to start there own online business without a coach of course, but in doing so you will end up using and wasting time and money and potentially delaying your success or profit. Which in turn is something that nobody wants to happen, we all want to see profit as soon as possible. Having a coach with years of experience there to walk you threw the process step by step and to show you what works and what doesn’t is a very valuable resource which will stream line your success. Now too touch on the subject of “tuition”. The Thrive Learning Institute is an immense advocate of “OPM” and “capital leveraging”. These two financial strategies are most commonly used among the most successful entrepreneurs because it doesn’t require you to use your own capital to begin the business, and allows the entrepreneur to create profit from the business before repayment is due. Bill Gates used these two strategies when he began Microsoft as so did Donald Trump on a daily basis. When it comes down to it, in merely depends on how serious the individual is to see a change in his or her financial situation. If you are serious in making a change and you are invited to work with the Thrive Learning Institute, they provide a written guarantee of results.

I want to sign up for this program. Is it a scam. I have checked out other sites some say it is a scam and the ones who review and actually do the program say it is not. I want to know, "is it a scam."

Re: Fred

Six Figure Yearly does work and is a good program. You have to understand that people throw around the term "scam" to often and it's usually the lazy people who wanted to make money for sitting on thier butt's doing nothing. Let me clear somthing up:

A SCAM is when you pay for something and get nothing in return or you can't get your money back. A "SCAM" is not something that you INVEST in and are too lazy to implement and make money with. PERIOD

I feel that I have been taken! By Angel Stevens, Rebate Processing. How do I go about getting my money back?

Could you please let me know what is Thrive Learning Institute? I just started with this companey and know very little about it!!!! If you could , could you please let me know a little about it!!!! Thank you alot!!!!The directer is Maryanne Kenedy!!!!

Thrive is a legitimate company. Please see the other comments toward the bottom of this page.

Please stay away from "Gary Jezorski's" Currency Exchange..all they do is take your money and then act "Invisible"...I lost @250. from thes scam don't you.

Re: Fred

My Online Income System is the better choice, I have never had a problem contacting her.

Other than the cost of the programs, I am trying to decide whether to purchase Profit Lance or My Online Income System (purely based on the merit of the actual programs and not this site's particular affiliation). It seems as though you've given both favorable reviews, but Profit Lance has actual youtube video showing success... and from what I've read in some of these comments Kimberly Hoffman may not be responding to questions or requests in a timely manner. Please provide unbiased advise. My parents have been repeatedly scammed by home-based business. But I'm trying to do this right... The first time.

Thank you.

Fred,

While I believe your intentions are good, I think your guidance on www.whythrive.com and the Thrive Institute are misguided. This company has been banned from doing business in several states (most recently Illinois) and the AuctionProfitsLLC name is a known high-pressure sales scam. For your own edification, visit the following sites:
www.auctionprofitsllc.com, www.auctionwealthinstitute.com, and www.internetauctionsolutions.com. The addresses on these sites are parking lots in Utah - not legitimate mailing addresses. They falsely claim to be eBay certified providers (I am a consultant with eBay; this is 100% false) and have used legitimate programs and titles at eBay to falsely promote trust in these programs. If you are reputable, I challenge you to post this information before others lose tens of thousands of dollars on their unethical and most likely illegal business practices.

Re: Fred

Paul, please have a look at the other comments from other people who have got in with whythrive.com. They provide a legitimate coaching service that I have personally used. They provide a viable learning solution to anyone who wants to start an online business.

As for high pressure sales I cannot attest to one way or another, I however don't believe this is a crime. Annoying yes but I dont believe its a crime.

As for the other companies you mentioned I have never heard of them. Your comments are now posted here though for other possibly engaging in business with them.

hey fred,

i signed up with angel stevens and they deducted 197 dollars from my account i'm assuming there is no real way to get it back huh?

Re: Fred

You can try but no I dont not consider Process at Home as a choice program to get involved with. See the top 10 on this site.

Hi Fred,

I have a list of websites that I would like to have your opinion on:

http://www.cashmakingpowersites.com/index.php?pv=1

http://www.prepaidlegal.com/

http://www.autopilotprofitsinc.com

I would like to know if these are scams or not.

Keith

Hi Fred,
I just received a call from whythrive.com. What I would like to know is whe I get called back by the "supervisor" tomorrow morning am I going too be high pressured
by him to invest a large amount of money in this program. Thanks in advance for your help. Mike

Hi Fred, I have been scammed by AWSM Technologies, Search Marketing and Dopt ventures. these are all the same companies owned by the same individuals, although they will not admit this. I would really appreciate any information you have on these companies and the Microsites/blogs they have sold. I need individual names, positions, etc as I am going to pursue a lawsuit against them. Please post any response for all to see so no one else is burned by these people and send any confidential info to my email. They are located in Phoenix, Arizona. Thanks Fred, JW

we signed up on the "process at home"
did everything that we were told and nothing.
i have e-mailed the support person 4x asking for help,,now i want my money back
how?

What do you know about a site called "Underground Cash Secret?"

The have called me back and want me for $6030.00 to allow them to mentor me in creating a diversified internet business. They utilize claim to utilze the "Thrive Learning Institute" for the training portion.

Thanks for any info
Mike

Yes, Angel Stevens is a scam, sorry for your $197.00 loss. To all thinking about trying out “Process at home” please check out this report first http://angelstevensscam.us/, in addition there is site that is giving a misleading positive report on Angel Stevens process at home not sure why they stated this was a good program. http://www.sitereviewauthority.org/work-at-home/indexv3_sq.html. Good luck to all and stay positive, work smarter not harder.

J.

Is company ligit and does it produce results . Co. name =Underground Cash Secrets/Vincent Micheals.The BBB.ORG has noted all complaints was resolved.

Hi Fred,

I have joined vrious programs to start an online business. Some Cash Leveraging System and It Pays forever.i have been doing a lot of advertising but no luck. Any advice,are they scams. Then Proptr. This must be a scam,cant get hold of thm or connect. What is your opinion.

Looking forward to your valued input.

Regards.
Francois

I am seriously thinking about ordering myonlineincome.com. Question is how much $$ is required to get going after my initial expense? I am willing to work at the business.
Thanks,
De

Please beware of any of the following:

Angela Penbrook/Penbrook Productions
Angel Stevens/ProcessAtHome
Maryanne Kennedy/Online Data Institute
Cutting Edge Media
Tafiti Consulting/Media Learner LLC
FX Marketing
Angela Christianson
Michael Allen Brooks
Timothy Darvin
Christian Carwell

All of the above are from the same "cut of cloth". They advertise that you can process rebates from home using names of very well known companies. However, you cannot download the instruction material you pay $197 for. They then apparently sell your information to Cutting Edge Media who in turn sells it to such unscrupulous companies as Tafiti who high-pressure you into believing that they can have you up and running an Internet business before the first payment comes due on your credit card. These people want to know what your credit limit is and want thousands to set up a website, etc. These people are all scam artists and are in California, Ohio, Utah, Nevada, and many more states.

They need to be put out of business, but Internet crime hasn't made it to the foreground yet.

www ecurrencyarbitrage.com is not paying money back; read yourself: http://ecurrencyarbitrage.blogspot.com/2008/10/refund-requested.html And when you want to have a look on their whois-data, you get a "locked data" ...enough said :O(

I AM REALLY CONSIDER ONE OF THESE COULD YOU GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON THE TWO? THANKS.

Getting Scammed will happen to you a couple times before you find any success online.

But the term scam with online marketing is over saturated. If you are paying for information then you are getting what you paid for. But if you pay for something that you are not happy with, then that is not a scam, thats just money wasted.

The point of purchasing information is getting you into making money. every program out there offers an affiliate program regardless if its terrible or worth it,There are key factors in truly determining what is worth your time. In Fact Low cost, Low Stress, Simple Automated and easy to understand is what will make your business flourish. If you decide you want to get into Niche marketing then you will have a hard time doing this. It requires alot of money doing alot of testing
(niche marketing-Promoting a product that is in need all the time)

now if you truly want to make money online with out spending a dime, then take a look at this program. This is how you truly determine if your gonna get scammed. Forking up Crap loads of money up front before you make any money. When I started marketing online I did the same as many of you, the only thing is I actually was paying for my education instead of seeing it as been scammed. Now I have developed my own product showing people how to make money online with out spending a dime in advertising. I built my Step by Step Video course Through my experiences in failing. So dont be mad if you fail at first, this is your education.

Check this one out, that I found Affordable and Free to advertise. Very simple 22 step by step videos + great Support. By far the most reliable business on the internet because of cost and Money that you can make. http://LivinYourSuccess.net
