ClickBank Reviews – Legit or Scam?
ClickBank (ClickBank.com) is a digital marketplace for products that you can purchase online. ClickBank is probably the most popular resource for online vendors who are looking for a venue to market and sell their product, as well as affiliates who are looking for new products to promote.
ClickBank is a name well known throughout the work at home, online business community because many of the training programs and business opps being sold online today are sold through ClickBank.
ClickBank offers all their customers a guaranteed, no questions asked refund within 60 days of purchasing a product. This guarantee is incredibly important to consumers. When purchasing a product from a company you’ve never dealt with before, seeing the ClickBank logo lets you know that if you encounter any problems with your program or service, you can get your refund from ClickBank with no hassle.
So Why Do People Complain About ClickBank?
While ClickBank is most definitely not a scam, the problem that many people have is that ClickBank doesn’t have any requirements or screening process that stops disreputable companies from using their services. The ClickBank marketplace is literally open to everyone.
Since ClickBank is considered a reputable company, when customers see the ClickBank logo on a payment page, they feel as though that is a sort of testimony to the quality of the product they are purchasing, when, in reality, the two things have nothing to do with one another. ClickBank will sell a terrible program just as willingly as a great program.
ClickBank isn’t a review site or a quality control site. They are simply a secure payment processing site in addition to being a place where vendors and affiliates can find each other.
When you see the ClickBank logo, simply know that it means two things: 1) that your payment page is secure, and 2) that you can have confidence in your ability to get a refund within 60 days if you need it. The responsibility is still on you to throughly inspect the program you have purchased to make sure it fulfills your needs.

Click Bank is a scam. Buyer bewarr. They screwed me and it is almost impossible to get a hold of them. They are not regulated by any state or federal agency or bank. They bury this fact in their information.

Hi,
I would like to expose my situation here:
1 – I purchased a product and havent received any reply from the product supplier and no product
2 – When i contact clickbank i got no reply, so far only automated emails.
3 – I feel disapointed and frustated, this payment providers should be legally regulated by institutions like FSA that regulate visa or mastercard.
4 – I think i need to figure out the problem myself, i will contact with my bank and require assistance.
From many payment providers in the world that i have used this is by far the worst one i have seen.
PLEASE if you are considering using their services for the first time, please dont use them or you will be joining the topic conversation here.
i have been mugged,
regards,

I started my own audio production company in Hawaii 11 yrs ago and now I’m retiring at 47 in Orlando. How can millions of people sit at their PC’s at home and collect checks of 100k a month is beyond me without hard work. I will NEVER get involved with any online sit at home business. Everytime I check the scam reports they all check out as just that…..100% of them!!!!

Their customer service is non-existent. I bought some online downloads, which did not materialize using them, and they pretended to keep in touch with me after that by sending out automated messages, which did not mean anything. Eventually I have given up on ever hearing from them and have asked for a refund, which they now say (in an automated message) that they have done. However the refund hasn’t happened yet.
Moral?
DO NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY WITH A BARGEPOLE. They are very possibly fraudulent.

I signed up to be an affiliate for clickbank last night. They said they were taking $1.00 out of my account and I would have access to their sight. I checked my account today and they took $87.59. I my bank when I saw the charge and said that I had not authorized that amount. They told me I needed to contact the vendor – the payment had not yet been processed. I called clickbank to cancel and asked why they charged that to my account when they said they would charge $1.00. The answer was totally unsatisfactory – he told me nothing. He canceled my account and said it would be 3 to 5 days before I see a refund in my account. I am calling my bank again as soon as the transaction processes and disputing the charge. I want it on record that I am not dealing with these people and to accept no charges from them.

ClickBank doesn’t charge money to be an affiliate- you got suckered by some other company who sent you to ClickBank.

Well… I signed up as an affiliate and they did not and have not charged me a dime (maybe because I am yet to make any money). However, from what u said it seemed as though the charge was immediate. But this was not the case for me. I signed up as an affiliate free
