The Latest Information on known Scams and Frauds in Affiliate Marketing
A service of Ed's Ventures
If it is one thing that I do not like is some website or guru trying to take advantage of the new and unknowing. All the reviews I present on this website are those I have been involved in or by information supplied by my friends,whom I have know personally for at least 2-4 years. Integrity is a vital part of these reports. I have seen many scams and money draining programs but did not do or say anything about it, I just didn't think anyone would pay attention. However, after my last scam that intentionally took me, I decided I was going to at least list it on my website and make at least those who visit me, will not be taken advantage of, if I can help it.
The Purpose of this Review Page

                     This is a scam report on a company that has several program names and websites

  I have tried to do business with this company for the past 3 or more years. It has cost me several hundred dollars. I have tried to reconcile my problems many times over the past  few years but to no avail. I paid an initial fee well over $80.00, plus monthly payments of $36.00 for over 2 years. I received all that was advertised except for access information to the website. I had a demo website but not the one that was filled with all the software and programs I was suppose to make an income.  I tried over 18 months to contact the several administrative members but no response. I did finally have one person respond and gave me several URL's and phone numbers. All the phone numbers were either disconnected or out of service. One phone number did have an answering machine saying that if you left a message, they would return the call. Not likely. I even called the number of the company that provided security for the company, yep, it was disconnected. The company was suppose to add new products each month and notify you when they were added. Nope, not that either. I finally wrote it off and got as much information as I could from other members. Finally, that was a mass exodus of members who had the same problem I was having, so we just cancelled out accounts. 

However, another member started a new website with a great program and it was not expensive, $3.95 a month to get the program and be keep up to date with the new advantages and updates. So I signed up for it, it was a different person.  Soon after, they came out with still another program that also had some good software products and it also was going to add aleast two products per month. Only $6.95 month.  So I thought I would give it a try. I made the initial payment to start the program and received information to fill in for access to the website. You had to get a special domain name just for the program, which I did. It stated I would receive the information within one hour. The next day, I sent an email to inquire about my status and immediately received an email from the website owner, Kathie B. Stating that I was not to email her using the email and to use only the google group email to contact her. Well I had applied for the email but it took them 7 days to approve it.  I then received a group email stating that she was buying a house, (her first) and would be gone for 4 days. After the four days ran out, we received another email saying it was taking longer to get settled so whe was going to take an additional 10 days to finish up. I sent another email (group) to inquire about my status, no response. Over the next two and a half months, I sent over 7 emails and paid two payments plus the initial fee and received not one product, in fact I did not even receive the initial information on how to setup the program or access information. I said enough and cancelled and told her by email that I would make sure none of my subscribers or friends would fall victim to their scam program.

I know this is rather lengthy but it involves over 7 different websites and program names, all ran by the same people and they offer absolutely no support or refund of any kind.  These are the websites and program names to be aware of and do not believe any promise or guarantee they offer.
