I have been retired for a few years and had been looking on the Internet for a means of supplementing my Social Security Retirement Benefit when one day at the end of February 2010 I received a phone call from Laura Davis who works for a company called North America Marketing and Associates. She told me about this wonderful, one time opportunity program where they offered to set me up with my own home-based business of a commission driven website. The three ways to earn money are (1) shopping at 10 Affiliate shopping merchants. (2) people go through the website for mortgage information or home loans. (3) discount on healthcare insurance. After a lengthy conversation with her where I voiced my concerns about this being a fraudulent offer she handed the phone over to a Mr. Ken Bran who was a very smooth talker and finally convinced me into thinking there was money to be made by purchasing their program. The sales pitch was that I would receive a commission each time someone bought healthcare, a home loan/debt settlements or merchandise through a choice of 10 shopping affiliate merchants which are: Starbucks Store; Orbitz; PetMeds; Dish Network; Macys; Wal-mart; Apple Store; Overstock.com; Buy.com; and CompUSA. He told me that I could actually make a lot of money. The cost of setting up my website was $199.00. I was told someone from customer service would be calling to help me pick out my own domain name.

Dale Whitfield called a day or so later. He told me he was working on setting up my website and in the mean time he would help me choose a domain name for my very own website.  When my url address is intered it is

redirected to their generic 3Waystoearn website with my 4-digit customer number/ID# in front of it. So my so-called "own website" is really a sub-domain of their website - 3waystoearn.com. 

I was contacted again by Ken Bran. This time he told me that the real success of my newly formed business/website is in the advertising. He said "you have to spend money to earn money". We then talked about my goals and how much money I would like to make each month. He said. no problem but in order to make that much I would have to spend $10,000.00 for an advertising campaign. I told him I could not afford to go that much into debt. In his smooth talking and convincing way he told me I could pay off half of the $10,000.00 with my first commission check and the balance with the second commission check. Consequently I agreed. I was truly misled by that statement and obviously have not received the promised commission checks.  

Ken Bran told me at the time that they ( North America Marketing and Associates ) used an outside advertising firm call TM Multimedia Marketing. I now I know after researching that they are one in the same.

Stay away from these companies....they are frauds!!!!!!!
