I clicked on an Adsense ad for something to do with rebate processing jobs and wondered if paid rebate processing jobs were scams.

The ad I clicked on brought me to a site called sitereviewauthority

Now, the word authority in the domain name makes it sound like the site is all on the up-and-up right?

And the extension for the domain name was .org and not .com so it sounded even more like a legitimate site.

So I check out the site, their #1 best recommended program to join is one called rebateprocessors dot com

I went and read the sales page for it and MAN, was it convincing.   It had all the right features on there, from testimonials to audios to really good copy, too.

Then I Googled the term rebate processors and read 2 sites that discussed this.

Both of them give this work at home program a big thumbs down, and the both sites explicitly said that these sites offering paid rebate processing jobs were nothing but rebate processing jobs scams.

Victims stated that they paid an upfront fee anywhere from $40 to over $500 for a trial program earning money by processing rebates from home. By representing that the opportunity is affiliated with 11,000 companies including some household names like Hewlett Packard and Home Depot, complainants are deceived into thinking that the offer is legitimate.

Instead of guidance and a starter kit on processing rebates, victims report that they actually received instructions on how to make money by sending e-mails, posting blogs and paying for ads on the Internet in order to sell various products.

Rip Off Report started off with good intentions, to protect people from scams and to give scammed people a voice that would be heard.

A lot of people look for bad reviews about something before buying something in order to talk themselves out of a purchase.

Some people are looking for honest reviews, too.

But what is RipOffReport?

Is it a legitimate place to view people’s opinions about something?

Is it a trust-worthy source of information?

From what I have seen and read, the answer is a resounding NO.

2 of my marketing buddies (Romell Weekly and Folusho Orokunle) are listed there due to no fault of their own.

So why are they there?

Maybe they didn’t have an online helpdesk set up to handle complaints on non-delivery issues from products being ordered…

I doubt that though.

Maybe it was because they didn’t respond fast enough to a request for help…

Who knows…

But this is the Internet and people can safely badger you or malign your (formerly) good name by writing or submitting something to RipOffReport.

Maybe the creators of RipOffReport had good intentions when they started that site/service, as did the people running Scam.com, but what true value are those sites offering people.

The ticked-off people can write whatever they want and get away with it due to having that “internet courage” but what about the people’s whose names are getting dragged through the mud for no good reason.

How would you feel if you were doing business online and  “Googled”your name only to see that one of the first few results listed on Page ONE of Google is a rip-off report submission against you.

If you’re doing business online, I strongly urge you to get some sort of online support system set up to handle all inquiries and complaints.

I also urge you to set up Google alerts and maintain your good name by getting notifications of when your name appears somewhere on the Internet on indexed pages.

Now, it’s human nature for people to exhibit online cowardice people by hiding behind their keywords and computers while irresponsibly slinging harsh words and invective against people who might not have responded ot their help desk tickets on time or didn’t produce a product that lived up to its sales page.

However, people hardly ever get motivated enough to write something GOOD about a program or person so all you really see written these days is the bad things.

And that obfuscates the integrity and the validity of the complaints and the person’s behind them.

This makes TRUTH on the internet hard to find

“Mrs Vee” is the person behind the VIP Global Marketing Solutions program.

One part of it is called V-Lane traffic and the other part is the matrix-based referral system for new members.

It’s a hybrid style work for pay, referral based income program and it is unique in several ways.

They’re not based in the U.S., therefore not subjective to US laws regarding their compensation plans.

The higher-ups in the company continually stress that this is really a work-for-pay type of income program because all the members are providing a service for VIP’s corporate clients.

The service that members provide for the corporate clients is done via the V-Lane traffic system and members are working on raising the Alexa ranks for the corporate clients by viewing and rating a certain number of sites each day.

I joined tihs company did the surfing an dsupposedly was going to get paid for my effort.

While I was doing on this useless Alexa-bumping hits generation for them, I wrote a positive review about the company which was approved, then disapproved, then finally they shut my account down for non-complaince.

THEN…

The company switched owners

THEN…

I emailed them back twice to say I hadn’t received back pay

No response to emails

The $$ never came

They found some obsucre reason to dis approve an already approved review post, and of course, they found a reason to not pay me the back monies owed.

To me that makes Mrs, VIP a scammer and it also makes VIP Global Marketing a Scam.

It’ s a paid surfing, paid to click on websites service disguised and reworded as a “work for pay” service…

The serive you provide is to click on websites to bump up their Alexa scores, thereby gaming the Alexa system and making it even less reliable than ever.

And you could spend months and weeks of doing this paid surfing only to find out that they revoked your payments for obscure unknown reasons and won’t pay you for your time due to these alleged violations.  Typcial scam formula seen in most GTP (GetPaidTo) sites

Is Jeff Paul’s Shortcuts to Internet Millions a Scam?

Let me guess, you were up late at night watching some infomercials and saw something for Jeff Paul’s shortcuts to Internet Millions, right?

How hot were those 2 ladies and how “cheesy” did it all sound to you?

I watched the entire infomercial and it was a loop of people saying how easy it was and how much they were making… One guy went from dead broke and unemployed to pulling in 5 figures daily, sometimes even 6 figures in one day.

The entire infomercial was a walking line of testimonials with no real indication being given on what this shortcut is, what this business entails and what’s required.

Aside from the cheesy-looking and bad acting in the infomercial, is the truth behind the claims?

Making money online is possible, in fact many people earn Millions of dollars every year, and some even earn millions a day (think eBay, YouTube, Facebook…). To be honest with you – you need a huge investment and a great unique idea to become the next big thing, so most likely you will not be an Internet millionaire, at least not in the next couple of weeks.

So, making money on the internet is very possible, unfortunately it takes time and effoefore but never saw the success you wanted, it’s probably due to your quest fo rshortcuts like Jeff Paul’s.

Here’s the deal with this…

Jeff Paul’s course gets sent to your house and costs less than $40.00.

There are upsells to this ocurse whic hI’m sure many people buy

The REAL upsell comes when some of their people call you and try to sell you a much pricier item for $5,000.00 or so

Basically, the whole shortcuts promotional infomercial is a hook toget you to buy the lower-priced items in the hopes that you’ll end up getting converted into the next $5,000.00 buyer of thei rhigh-end system that does everything for you.

I cannot imagine anyone giving away a drop-dead-easy system for pulling in $5,000.00 a day.  Forget the price of the most-likely-useless-full-of-fluff course you get for $40.00… Foprget that for a seocnd, the real quality product if one exists here, if the $5,000.00 upsell.

Guess how much a plug-n-play system like thei radvertising is worth in real dollars if in fact it works?

3 X TIMES the monthly income.

So if a site makes $200/day that means it makes $6k/month which means it’s really worth $18,000.00.

People often buy “magic systems” such as Jeff Paul’s Shortcut to Internet Millions not realizing that there is no such thing as overnight millions. If you want to learn how to make money online, you need someone to show you how to do it. Jeff Paul will not that, nor would his over hyped system.
