ClickBank & Internet Secrets - 3500weekly.com Alleged Successfull Online Website Business = Lies, Scams, Taking Your Money For Nothing in Return but a piece of paper! Clarksville TN

I have been affiliated with 3500weekly for over a year and recieve $45-$70 per month. I put my earnings here: 3500weekly.domaindnseye.com/ I did nothing but follow the instructions 123makecashonlinetoday.com/

"2. I have to use their choice of a web hosting service after which I would email them the info"

Not sure if it was in the fine print or not, but never go with any "offer" that states you must used their preferred hosting services. If you try to argue with them, they will most likely try to feed you a line of BS that their hosting services is premium or that it's better than others. I've never dealt with this company, so I don't know their sales gimmicks. I know uSight tried to BS people that don't know about Internet Technology with a similar sales gimmick.

"3. Once the website is in place, it would take an additional 4-16 weeks before I actually start seeing revenue"

It all depends on how they do their marketing. If they register you with the search engines then it may actually take that long before your website will show up in the search engines. People seem to forget that there's no such thing as a free lunch. People create a website and expect people to be hopping all over it within days.

"Beware of ClickBank and Internet Secrets aka www.3500weekly.com!"

Why beware of ClickBank? ClickBank is pretty much just a payment processor. They call people that sell on ClickBank "partners" but the products you buy are not created by ClickBank. That would be like buying a hamburger at McDonald's with your Visa card, the hamburger tastes crappy, McD's refuses to refund your money, and then you post on here "Beware of Visa and McDonald's." Visa did not sell you the burger, they just processed the payment for it.

Please do not think that I am FOR 3500weekly.com. In my opinion a very large majority of these money-making schemes are complete scams. How do I know? This is what I do as a hobby, I look in to ripoff companies.

Now, the big question. Do I believe this program is a scam? You bet! And since Gamil wanted to defend the company, I'll explain to them as well why I know this is a scam.

Firstly, they are teaching (or supposed to be teaching) how to effectively create affiliate-based websites. Can you make money doing this? Of course, but their technique is junk. I've done tons of research on this topic. I highly recommend a forum website called http://www.abestweb.com/. No, that website is not a competitor. In fact, it's not even commercial. It's a free community that is dedicated to nothing but the discussion of affiliate systems and companies that allow people to be affiliates.

Next is the testimonials on Gamil's website. They are completely false! According to FTC (Federal Trade Commission) regulations, that is considered false advertising and deceptive trade practices. The first testimonial on Gamil's website is by "JoAnne Williams-Bakersfield, CA". I searched Google for that exact term and got 88 search results. Many of those results are individual domains, that is, they are actual websites like Gamil's. I have the websites listed below along with the website owner's name. I got their name by doing a WHOIS query on the domain.

www.myfreework.com - Randy Jett

www.powerfulincomesite.com - Owner information hidden by Domain's By Proxy WHOIS Privacy Guard Service (Any "business" that uses this service is not to be trusted as all businesses should show valid contact information).

I guess the company, 3500weekly.com, will state that those testimonials are that of their service and not of the individual website owners. Well, if so, then the owners shouldn't be putting false testimonials on there in the first place.

As for Gamil, you must have done pretty good. You claim you know this company is valid and you are making money. You must have the best luck in the world! According to the WHOIS information on your domain, 123makecashonline.com, the domain was registered on October 19, 2007. That means your website has not even been online for two solid months (by now). You posted your comment on November 16, 2007. That means you had made all that money and your website had not even existed for a whole month? That's impossible!

More proof that Gamil is a fraud is their website. On the website there is a screenshot of "usbank Internet Banking" that shows a date of June 22, 2007 with an account ending in 5811. How can that be you when your domain was not even registered until almost four months later (October 19,2007).

I could probably rip apart Gamil's website and find out more and more inaccurate and false data. Gamil, words of wisdom, if you are going to boast about a company and advertise your website, then be sure that you are not trying to defraud people. It shows you reside in Baltimore, MD. I have a good mind to forward this matter to the Maryland Attorney General's Office. People like you need to be in jail.

Gamil, if you want to make money online, then more power to you. But people like you are the reason why people cannot be trusted. Get a real job and stop trying to scam people because there will ALWAYS be people like me to burst your con artist bubble! And yes, I know, those transactions are of "Randy", however, the person on the site is "Jean" and your name is Gamil.

Furthermore, Gamil, the WHOIS states you are in Maryland. The transactions on the account took place in Kentucky and Tennessee. Unless your "son" (according to the website) lives in Kentucky/Tennessee.

    Just like Renee said, you try to give folks a fair chance to prove themselves. My experience with this particular company were identical to the others; i do remember emailing Randy on numerous occasions, once i learned that he set up the websites using Linux, and not Windows.

 

   Yeah, the waiting period they stated for the webiste they created for you to hit the top of google and other search engines seemed rather long...but there was one particular pattern forming with this gag that stood out, until it finally hit me tonight, almost three years after i first signed up with them..

 

The bulk of their biz seemed to be referring us to other big time webslingers, who supposedly made a lot of money, and just happened to have e-books full of secrets to tell us..for a price....it started to get this private club feel to it, like all these people knew each other, and each one was scratching the other's back..

 

Here's the deal; it's not so much that 3500weekly is a scam, which it seems to be, by presentation and application (do you know of anyone who really made money off of it??), but it seems this Jean and son, Randy, exploited the ultimate secret about this whole net biz thing, and that secret is this: you stick your hand out in the right crowd, and somebody is gonna shake it, and put a check in it.

 

It's that simple.3500weekly is a barebones model of what netrakers do: they exploit the net, as a medium for mass exposure. But unlike tv, radio and magazine, on the net, you can instantly get money from people, with just a click! You bypass the mechanics ..and the thought processes..of picking up a phone, or mailing a coupon, or setting an appointment...you simply use your credit card online, or use paypal..and it's done before you think about it fully..!!

 

All the net bizzes seem to use the same model: a full page essay, with a condensed life story of frustration, a humble revelation, a lot of hard work, obvious and documented success, and a golden opportunity for you to get on board, at discounted rates..Randy and Jean of course, offer to set you up for free...then the emails begin pouring in from their friends and new associates, who all have secrets and plans to tell,...and sell...

 

somewhere along the line, I imagine, you are brought into the fold, of this secret society, where hearts, minds and wallets are always open. Apparently, Randy, Jean, the Jerk, et al, all know of this secret fishing hole where the fish not only bite all day, but jump in the cooler at nite while you rest.

 

3500 weekly is simply grooming you to do what they all do, and it's not all just clickbank or adsense..it's reaching as many people at once as humanly possible, to sell them a dream of wealth, or at the very least, easy money with little effort put forth to earn it. What most of the catch lack in greed is made up for in curiosity. If you're going so far as to show me the money, even if its just a clickbank reciept, then chances are i'm gonna wanna know how you got it

 

Figuring that millions will see their ads, with thousands reading it, and hundreds believing it, its not a stretch to expect many to cought up $25 for a fistful of air.

 

back to basics: buyer beware...it's just like the seminars they hold for would-be net entrepreneurs: they give an hour and a half presentation, tell you all you need to know to make money off the net through real estate, wholesale drop shipping, etc...and then they sell you a set of books, via credit card, which are the transcripts of the exact same speech you half listened to for that hour and a half...the seminar itself is free; they even give small gifts like mp3 players just for coming..it's the books and clinics they host later that cost money.

 

I got gagged by Randy and Jean, but thinking back, i think they may have started out in good faith, but greed and time got the better of them. When i got in on it, their site was talking about the money they were hoping to have earned by another year or so...probably from referrals
