eHome Profit System Reviews
Is the eHome Profit Kit Legit or a Scam?

January 14th, 2011  |  Published in Product Reviews, Website Reviews

eHome Profit SystemThe eHome Profit System, or eHome Profit Kit, is a new work at home program available online. Created by Jason Hall, but also associated with spokespeople Brian Bailey and Michelle Matthews, the eHome Profit System is promoted as a 100% proven, guaranteed way for anyone, regardless of education or experience, to make money from home using the internet.

Hall says that the eHome Profit Kit program is so simple and easy a 5th grader could use the program and be making profits overnight.  Jason Hall claims that eHome Profit Kit is a “plug and play, business in a bag” – completely automated, requiring not even “a single idea of your own.”

In addition Hall says that with the eHome Profit System, you could be making $50,000 a month from a 5 hour work week.  Usually this program sells for $197, but for a limited time Hall is selling it for $97.

What’s the Problem with eHome Profit System?

To begin with, the spokespeople used to rep this program – Jason Hall (Home Cash Flow Solution), Brian Bailey (Home Revenue System), and Michelle Mathews (Home Online Jobs) – are all associated with other work at home programs, each with a notorious and predominantly negative reputation.

Truth be told, this doesn’t actually mean much.  These “spokespeople” could be completely made up personas for each of the companies they represent, and these particular names could have just been snagged from eHome Profit System for web recognition.  However, it’s still necessary to point out that these three individuals are associated with work at home programs that have long laundry lists of complaints.

Also, the sales page at eHomeProfitKit.com goes into pretty great detail about what this business opportunity isn’t, but they never actually say what you’ll be doing.  While you know what it’s not – an MLM business or a data entry scam – there is never any explanation of what it is.

And there is a lot of contradictory info on the site.  First, Jason Hall says you don’t need a fancy website, in fact, you don’t even need a website.  But then when he’s explaining to you what you are purchasing with your eHome Profit System one of the first things listed is a website.

Hall also says quite a bit about how you just need to follow the steps of the program to make “a King’s ransom,” but then says that he won’t guarantee earnings because it’s not his fault if you’re too lazy to do some typing every once in awhile.  However, if you read the fine print at the bottom of the page, you’ll see that “Less than 1% of members applying these principles achieve an annual salary greater than $50,000.”

Now, of course it’s ridiculous to expect someone selling a business opportunity to guarantee any sort of earnings potential.  It’s your business, and it’s what you make it.  However, Hall has gone to a whole lot of trouble to make you think you need to do absolutely nothing but what he tells you and you’ll be wealthy “within days.”  The fine print seems a lot more realistic.

HackTheStockMarket.com Reviews – Legit or Scam?

January 12th, 2011  |  Published in Product Reviews

Hack The Stock MarketHackTheStockMarket.com is a website run by John Bell, promoting a program that he promises will consistently make you money in the stock market.

Bell claims he created a strategy that helped him consistently make money with the stock market “overnight.”  In addition, Bell says that you can read his 62 page Hack The Stock Market report in 2 hours and make profitable investments that same day.

Bell claims his strategy will help you to identify stocks whose prices are dropping, buy them when they are low, and then wait a short period for them to climb in value.  Bell says that with only an hour or so a week spent researching various stocks while watching TV, you too can be making money.

The Hack The Stock Market report costs $129.00 dollars, but you will only be initially charged $4.95 for a 31 day trial period.  If you do not cancel your order before then, you will be charged the remaining $124.05.

Though I have not purchased the Hack The Stock Market report, there are a lot of claims made by John Bell which make me uncomfortable.

First of all, it’s never good when someone acts as though it’s not only incredibly easy to make money with their program, but that it will take you almost no time at all to make that money.  2 hours to read and 1 hour research a week to be making $120,000 a year from the stock market like Bell claims is outrageously hard to believe.

Second, though Bell works very hard to make it seem like his report is easy to understand and able to use right away, customers report that it is complicated and incredibly detail oriented.  Even customers who give Bell’s program good reviews admit that it is much harder than Bell says it is.

Finally, though the initial $4.95 is charged through Clickbank, which offers a 60 day no questions asked money back guarantee, there is no explanation of how the second charge of $124.05 is handled.  In addition, Bell never mentions any refund policy in relation to that $124.05, which leads me to believe that it is not eligible for refund.  This means that you should be very careful about canceling and requesting a refund within your trial period, or you might lose your money.

Illumibrite Reviews – Is Illumi-Brite.com Legit or a Scam?

December 13th, 2010  |  Published in Product Reviews

IllumibriteIllumibrite is a new teeth whitening product that keeps popping up all over the internet.  Ads for it appear on popular websites like Facebook, and they even have a famous spokesperson in Joanna Krupa, a former contestant on Dancing With the Stars.

Illumibrite claims that their system has professional whitening results.  Their system actually has two parts, an “on the go” system, and a more involved system for when you have time at home.  The on the go system includes two whitening pens and an optional LED light while the at home system includes two syringes of whitening gel and two trays.  You must use one of these options at least once a day until you achieve your desired results.

The Illumibrite system costs $9.97 for shipping and handling and a 14 day free trial.  After 14 days, you will be charged $97.97 for the product and for enrollment into the Unlimited Illumibrite Club, which allows you to reorder the product at any time for a discounted rate of $27.97.

So is Illumibrite a Scam?

As a tooth whitening product, it’s likely that Illumibrite works, but that’s irrelevant.  There are many over the counter tooth whitening products that work wonders that are cheaper, faster, and safer than Illumibrite.

First of all, the Illumibrite on the go system requires you to use the pen to paint the whitening gel onto your teeth, and then you must remain “smiling” for at least 15 minutes without allowing your lips to touch the gel.  That’s not only inconvenient, it can be painful.  If you don’t believe me, try it yourself.  15 minutes will suddenly seem like a million years.

Secondly, the active whitening ingredient is 35% carbimide peroxide.  This is an incredibly strong whitening agent, strong enough, actually, that almost everything you read about it says that carbimide peroxide is likely to cause chemical burns to your gums.  The Illumibrite instructions actually tell you to consult your dentist before you use their product because the carbimide peroxide is so strong it can affect dental work you’ve had done, like veneers, caps, and even fillings.

Finally, even though the Illumibrite webpage says that if you cancel the trial within 14 days you will not be charged, many customers complained that no matter how many times they called to cancel, they were never able to get past the automated answering service.  Without being able to speak to a real person, they were unable to cancel, and were charged anyway.

Those customers that were able to get through to a real person were still unable to cancel because the sales associates either talked them out of it, or told them their reasons for canceling were not appropriate.

There are so many decent over the counter products, like Crest Whitestrips or Rembrandt, and so many other legitimate whitening systems like Go Smile that there is zero reason to take your chances with a product like Illumibrite.

Home Profit Revenue System Reviews – Legit or Scam?

December 6th, 2010  |  Published in Product Reviews, Website Reviews

Home Profit Revenue SystemThe Home Profit Revenue System is a new work at home business kit being sold at HomeBizStartUpKit.com.  The Home Profit Revenue System claims that their set up is quick and simple, and with no experience required, you can easily be your own boss, setting your own schedule and earning as much money as you wish.

According to HomeBizStartUpKit.com, the only thing you need to be successful with the Home Profit Revenue System is internet access and the ability to send emails.  That’s it.

While the Home Profit Revenue System regularly retails for $39.95, according to their order form page, they are doing a special promotion currently where for just $2.97 you can get access to their business system to decide whether or not it’s right for you.

So is the Home Profit Revenue System a Scam?

Oh, where to begin.  First of all, if you hadn’t noticed the teeny tiny print at the bottom of the order form page before, allow me to tell you what it says.  The $2.97 promotion buys you 3 days access to their website.  At the end of 3 days, you will be charge $99.95 for continued access to the website, in addition to $69.95 for website hosting and membership.  The charge of $69.95 will recur every 30 days until you cancel.

In addition, any company that asks you for your credit card information without giving you an idea of what you will be getting in return is unprofessional to say the least, and highly suspicious.  Before you ever give them access to your credit, you should understand exactly what you are receiving for your money, and how you can contact them if you are unsatisfied with your purchase.

At any point should you decide to cancel, HomeBizStartUpKit.com claims you will no longer be charged for their services.  However, you will also not be allowed any refunds for money that you were charged before you canceled.

In order to cancel you need to contact them at 1-800-299-1749 or visit www.eSuperShops.com and inform them of your desire to cancel.  However, in their Terms & Conditions they state that since it often takes 7-10 business days to cancel your membership, you must call them at least a week before your next payment is due in order to not be charged that payment.

Since it takes them at least 7 days to process your cancellation, it seems a little unfair of them to only give you a 3 day trial before they charge $99.95 for their product and $69.95 for their services.  I suggest that if you signed up for this product and are within the 3 day window for cancellation, that you not only call and speak to someone, but also write an email that explicitly addresses your being within the 3 day cancellation period.  If that doesn’t work for the company, it will at least be something to show your bank when you dispute the charges.

MyPushButtonProfits.com Reviews – Legit or Scam?

November 29th, 2010  |  Published in Product Reviews, Website Reviews

My Push Button ProfitsMyPushButtonProfits.com is yet another website trying to sell a “fully automated” work from home business.  The idea of a “fully automated” business is that you do nothing – except pay My Push Button Profits – and suddenly you receive a business prepared and ready to go, that will earn you vast amounts of money with very little time or effort on your part.

My Push Button Profits says that they are selling their business opportunity to just 200 people for $77, for a limited time.  For $77, you will receive 10 websites that can be set up by you – with no computer experience necessary – in five minutes.  These websites will sell a variety of products chosen by you, and all products are digital, so that there is no need for you to deliver anything to anyone or to be responsible for any merchandise.

My Push Button Profits claims that once you purchase their system, you will be immediately able to start making income from your sites, and they guarantee that you earn at least $300 a day.

So is My Push Button Profits a Scam?

Here are the (many) problems with My Push Button Profits.

First of all, their sales tactics are horribly shady.  Their testimonials and true stories on their sales page are fake – they even admit they are fake in their disclaimer at the bottom of their sales page.  They claim their product has been written or reported on by legitimate news sources, but they don’t link to the reports.

Then they have a fake counter, counting down how many products are left, to give you a false sense of urgency so that you’ll buy their product without thinking about it for too long.  But even though they behave as though they are selling out of products incredibly fast, if you try to click away from their page they will give you My Push Button Profits for only $37 instead of $77.

Next, their earnings claims are outrageous.  With barely any work whatsoever on your part, you can earn $13,000-$17,000 a month?  That’s simply not realistic.

Finally, the reality is that fully automated, pre-made websites don’t ever make good money.  The problem is that they are generic, they look and function just like every other site out there being run by My Push Button Profits, and they’re selling the same products at the same prices, so you literally cannot have a competitive edge.

The biggest problem with My Push Button Profits, however, is hardly noticeable on the sales page.  It’s one line from Jack Henderson that says, “Once you’ve signed up the only thing you’ll need to do is get people to visit the sites. Don’t worry about this… I’ll show you how to get visitors to your site from day one.”

Generally what this means is that once you purchase the My Push Button Profits program, you are now going to be bothered by emails and telephone calls from the company trying to upsell you expensive traffic packages – add ons that will “guarantee” you the traffic you need to finally make your websites successful.

The danger with these upsells is that while My Push Button Profits is a Clickbank product, meaning you can get a no questions asked 60 day refund guarantee, the additional packages will likely be paid for over PayPal or another payment method, which means they aren’t eligible for refunds.
