This is to warn unsuspecting Americans trying to make extra income. A family member of mine signed up for this "service" seeking information on what they claim to be a good way to generate extra income "posting links for Google.com" which you later find out is 100% false. You actually have to sell products over the internet from a supplier they either own or are affiliated with. Anyway, these products are cheap, and when you look them up on the internet, you can find the same things for way cheaper. So, in reality there is no way you are selling any of the items provided to you when you are selling it for a certain amount, and can find them on numerous other websites for sometimes 50% less. You pay $2.97 for processing and then come to find out 3 days after you give them your information, they charge your credit card $139 for horrible product. Their website (http://portal.xyzwarehouse.com) is down 30% of the time you attempt to access it, their "web-builder" always crashes your browser, and nothing really works the way their representatives say it does. To add insult to injury, you come to find out they don't really provide any assistance. So if you need to learn how to market these websites, you have to pay their "advanced specialists" anywhere from $500-$5000. And trust me, in order to drive traffic to these websites you need to market them otherwise people won't know they exist. So, if you don't know already how to market websites over the internet, you're screwed out of $140+.
I made a blog to keep unsuspecting, hardworking Americans informed on this, and other like scams on the internet. I don't want this happening to others like it did with my family member.

#1 UPDATE Employee
If customer would provide their actual name, we could provide a refund
AUTHOR: Director of Operations - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, April 01, 2010
Thank you for your correspondence in connection with the above-referenced matter. It is clear from the text of the complaint that all the information was not provided by the complainant in regards to the program was signed up for and the requisite charges for that program, and several facts have been omitted that once revealed will hopefully clear up this matter.
First, this program has NOTHING to do with Google or blogging or marketing websites.
The Internet Cash Machine (ICM) is a turn-key
business opportunity that offers prospective clients the ability to create
single product websites, as well as,
Mall Webstores which comes pre-stocked with products, some of which can
be sold with no product cost to the merchant. The websites are easily built with a few clicks of the
mouse, yet are highly customizable for advanced users. The websites are tied into a network of
drop-shippers and fulfillment center making it easy for clients to select
products and deliver them to their clients without handling them. Included in the program is a mall
webstore that ties all of the clients products together allowing them to
market a variety of products through an internet mall web site. Internet Cash
Machine also offers ICM clients merchant accounts with the ability to accept
credit cards and ACH services Internet Cash Machine is a membership site that
provides users with all the tools and information necessary to learn how to
post websites and webstores and launch products for auction on eBay to make
money online. In order to sign up for the Internet Cash Machine
program, the customer MUST go thru the following steps.
1.
Client reaches Internet Cash Machine site through different
internet advertisements.
2.
Client is
directed to a sales landing page to enter preliminary information. Note that
there is a
link at the bottom of the page to the Terms and Conditions of the
signing up for the program. 3. Then the customer
MUST provide their credit card information on the secured payment page. Again on the credit information page, the terms and conditions
of the program are noted on the page in several different areas. First, there
is a link on the bottom of the
page for the Terms and Conditions. Second, the Terms and Conditions and charges for the program are
listed on the page, directly to the left
of the Rush My Order button.
Those terms and conditions and charges for the service clearly state
that there are 3 different charges for this program. The first is the initial charge of $2.97 for
processing of the account. The $2.97 charge provides the customer with access
to the service for a 3 Day Trial Period.
The 3 day period provides the customer with access to the service so
they can ascertain if they would like to continue with the service and incur
the additional charges for the service. After the 3 day trial period has
expired, as the terms clearly state, the customer is then charged the second
charge, which is a one-time $139.95 charge for the service membership. The customer then has access to the
full service until they elect to cancel the service. Each month that the
service is active the customer will be charged a monthly maintainance fee of
$4.95. The exact terms that are on
the credit card information page are enlarged below for better veiwing. In addition to clearly spelling out each fee required for the service,
we provide the number for the customer to call to cancel the account. The link to the terms and conditions that is listed on each page
involved in the signup process, take the user to the Terms and Conditions
page, represented by the graphic below.
Again, ALL the program costs, charges, terms, conditions and cancellation
procedure are clearly spelled out on the page. Immediately after the credit card information page has
been completed and the customer clicks on the "Rush My Order button, the
terms are again presented to the customer in the form of a pop-up on the page
that again lists the terms for the program and service. It is at that point that the customer will see a
Confirmation Page that confirms their signup is complete for the service and
provides them with the username, password, and customer service contacts for
their account. Then a
Welcome Email is sent to the email address the customer provided us upon
signing up for the service. After the customer has reviewed the Confirmation Page, and
received the Welcome Email at their email address, all that is left for the
customer to do is to login to their ICM account. Below is the signin page to access the ICM customers
accounts. Once they are into their account, they must confirm their
personal information to make sure that they are in the correct account and
their account was set up correctly. From their the customer can set their own
path to begin to create their website. Within the administration of their
website they will periodlically be presented with additional tool and services
for their business, such as a Merchant Account to accept credit cards for their
products and services on their website.
These services arre entirely optional and the customer can bypass them
with a simple click, if do not wish to obtain that certain service.
By placing my order I agree to the Terms of Offer, which explain this order
includes the about for just $2.97 for processing. If you enjoy the 3-day trial
and continue your path to making money, you will be billed a one-time fee of
$139.95 and a monthly maintenance fee. You may cancel anytime by calling
1-877-863-3088.
