Bill B. I totally agrre with you. This is an internet scam. I've spent countless hours also. It seems as if they have their own employees hit sites to make it look like you are getting some interest. It is very starnge how all the sites get the exact same amount of hits.

Agree with you totally. Howvever Clickbank and Paypal are legit companies. E-mail both of them detailling the scam and they will
withdraw their connection if enough people complain.

CHRISTINE R. Hi,i too joined up and did 2 test sales off my husbands email address.Guess what? he paid his money and i received it through Paypal.Thats as far as it goes.I neither received an email to say i had made a sale and my husband didn't receive one to tell him how to download his "PURCHASE". I too found that the LIVE CHAT is automated and it takes days for your reply to come through and then they do not answer your query. However,i did ask for a full refund and i did get it. They still keep sending me stuff and last night i had an american chap ring me trying to get me to UPGRADE!.I was sounding him out and he was on the phone for 20 minutes.I wanted to hear what he had got to say. He said i was eligible for a 1 to 1 support and help with my websites. As soon as i told him it was a waste of time and i wasn't interested,he slammed the phone down on me. I also asked him that when we are given the websites to chose from,does everyone else have the same ones,,he said YES. no wonder nobody sells anything!!!!I have also looked at my website statistics and have noticed that they seem to be almost identical! I have put my prices up to max price to stop people buying them.Please,does anyone know how to get these websites off my computer?

CHRISTINE R. Further to my above message,my two website statistics both state that i have not made any sales yet even though i have made 2!!!! BEWARE,DO NOT JOIN UP.IT STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frank G. Did you get your money back,because I'm in England and have just been caught by the same thing.

F Daley

Shannon I. Hey I just got screwed too. Did you get your money back? I tried sending an email but who knows how long that could take. I've been screwed by places like this before and they charged me monthly fees. Does this company do that too?

Wayne C. i am so glad for you people... i was so close to sealing the deal. no lie! the offer looks well put together. the sites in my browser work excellent... no lie! luckily. i had a few mistakes in the pass. i no longer purchase a product online without...PRODUCTNAME"review" . we have to use the search engine to our advantage...sorry if i went off there...anyways, i want to thank you guys to get these reviews out. it saves me some time.

thanks.

Shannon I. Is anyone else recieving calls 3 times a day from a 1 866.... number? It's been happening to me ever since I signed up! Excuse the language but.. $#*!! Sigh... ok, I'm good now.

Frank G. Ive got a call saying ive been chosen to be one of 10 lucky people who will recieve a call from a director personally,but as always there's a catch. They try and hit you with another charge, i don't think so!. If you are still within the 60 day money back guarantee then i suggest you call them and request your money back,because that's exactly what I'm doing

Shannon I. Ugh but the phone number isn't 1 800 so i'm just going to end up paying long distance... sigh.... would you be able to pass along the number?

Thanks,
Shan

Bernadette B. And I've been had too. It all looks so real and makes clear from the get-go about all the hard work and hours needed to be successful and earn, but no mention about the layers of payouts from ones own pocket... I am so disappointed about the whole thing. I have just requested my money back - watch this space for an update.

Frank G. Hi Bernadette,
Please let me know how you get on, as I will be. I fell foer paying for the additional pro too. Not only that,you have to have a business account with PAYPAL which there is an additional charge every month for that,talk about preying on the vunerable. I've had this for a month now and not a penny have I received,not only that you will find that you have the exact websites as thousands of others.Fight hard for your money back. What is their number to ask for a refund anyway?

Bernadette B. Hi Frank
Well, the two payments I made were to Dotcom Internet Marketing and ClickBank. Apart from the long distance number as I'm not paying out any more cash, once bitten and all that! I tried all the contact numbers etc. with no joy! I ended up requesting a refund through the PayPal account I was forced to open during the process of being ripped off - I'm shaking my head in utter disbelief. Thankfully I opened a regular PayPal account so no monthly charges for me there! I put in my request for a refund from Dotcom Internet Marketing through the PayPal Resolution Centre as a dispute under the heading 'Significantly Not as Described Dispute'. I then emailed ClickBank, again using PayPal, at paypal@clickbank.com. I resent the clickbank email several times just to make sure my email was not missed. I have been contacted and advised by both Dotcom and ClickBank that my money will be refunded in 48 hours. It is a real shame that everyday people that work hard to scrape a living are being ripped off left, right and centre. Watch this space for an update.

Frank G. Hi Bernadette,
So its best to go through PAYPAL would it? How are they refunding you,i mean by which means?

Frank G. Right. iv'e sent a request for refund from Dotcom internet and ClickBank. Ive also found out that automatedhomeprofits.com are one of the same as homewebsitecentre.com. and apparently been known as several other companies. How many hundreds of people are these cowboys ripping off i wonder. PAYPAL must surely be aware of this rip off company and should close their account down with them.

Shannon I. Hey guys! send this message "Please can you cancel my account, I understand that once I submit this request all my websites will be disabled and I will never be able to receive payments from any sales they make again" to the customer support team email. It might take a week or two to get a response. They will then cancel your accounts and websites.

To get the refund (if you paid for it through click bank) go to your clickbank reciept that was emailed to you.
Click on the link under "customer support" -- it'll open up a page with your purchase details
Click on "click here to get support"
click on "other options"
click on submit refund request"

I just did this tonight so I'll let you all know if I get my money back... dear god I hope so!

Good Luck everyone!!!

Frank G. Have a refund from Clickbank on its way,just waiting a reply from Dotcom now

raheela h. Thank God I'm not alone!! I'm sorry, I know it sounds awful but I thought I was the only one that wasn't making any money on this! I only joined a couple of weeks ago but it seems like forever because of all the advertising I've done just to get one sale..but I would like to know if ANYONE out there has ACTUALLY made even one sale. After reading many comments, I have to agree that this is a con as one is led from one page to the next, emptying our bank balance at the same time, hoping we'll end up getting it back through our 'business websites'. The last payment I made was for the PRO and recently received an email saying I was one of the lucky ones to be selected for Platinum. I clicked on the link and guess what..? Yet another payment was asked from me, which I rejected. I thought I had lost my money but after reading your comments, seems like I might be able to ask for a refund - which I intend to do. Thank you for your help and advice. Good luck to you all!

Frank G. have my other refund from dotcom internet marketing now so have all my money back thank god.Anyone who like me, was stupid enough to think this was a money spinner should ask for your money back asap

Frank G. Have received my other payment back from Dotcom Internet Marketing,so thankfully have all my money back. Do not continue with this sham rip-off website and get your money back asap. Note that you have 60 days to get your money back from the homewebsite they say,don't believe them,they either won't take your calls or fob you off with excuses.Please also note that this company has been trading in a number of different company names,don't fall for it!!!!!!!

Chris O. Hi Sasha,

Work-at-home schemes are almost always either straightforward scams, or mislead people into spending more and more money before they can get anything back.

I have only ever heard of one that returns any money at all, out of probably thousands of copies of these schemes, and I can't remember now, which that was.

A very large number of people get dragged into these things, because everyone is broke and has a family to care for, and there's so little money to be earned even if you are working a day job.

Unfortunately, con men (and women, I expect) take advantage of people who are broke, as they have always done. It is easier to take hundreds of small amounts from the hopeful poor, than it is to take one big amount from a rich person and hope to get away with it.

If a scheme asks you for money up front, it's one you should walk away from before handing money over. If it's a very well known and trusted name, and still asks you to pay up front, expect to be having to work very hard to make a small profit even though the business is legitimate.

Remember, if people offer to make you rich, they would already be rich themselves and wouldn't need to pass the secret along to anyone else. Things that look too good, usually are.

If you go on with home working schemes anyway, just be very careful indeed if you deal with online companies. They may not even be companies - in many cases, these are just people like you who are re-selling their own work on to other people, and they get paid by how many new people they can catch. They get paid by the scheme and they get paid by their victims, who are at the bottom of the pyramid and never, ever win.

T N. good tips, nina!
