Easy Typing Cash Review: Is it a Scam?
Easy Typing Cash (easytypingcash.com) is a new program that makes the standard make money from home claims. The owner, Tim Thomas, says that if you follow his course you’ll learn how to make a lot of money typing simple articles, blog posts, and placing media.
Whenever I come across an online program that has anything to do with typing or writing I’m immediately put on guard. The reason is because the majority of these programs use misleading pitches to target data entry from home job seekers.
Most of these data entry scams have been shut down by now, however since data entry work is still in such high demand proponents of these scams are finding new and more clever ways to abuse this niche with false information.
So what’s Inside Easy Typing Cash?
Based on the income claims made on the sales page of Easy Typing Cash, it’s fairly clear that this not a standard job or straightforward writing opportunity. Only professional writers get paid up to $75.00 for one short article and up to $35.00 for a blog post, so how is that any customer of Easy Typing Cash can make that much money.
The answer is simple; they are not selling a traditional writing job, what you’ll learn is basic affiliate marketing strategies that involve writing and typing. This is a clear example of the aforementioned strategies used to mislead data entry job seekers.
The only way to make the kind of money promised by Easy Typing Cash is by earning commissions through product promotion. Basically they’ll instruct you to write hype articles and show you were to submit them for maximum exposure. The process works as follows: someone reads one of your articles, follows your affiliate link to the product website, completes a purchase, you then earn a commission – usually 30 to 50 percent of the sale price.
This same concept applies to blog posts, you can start a blog on any topic you wish and sell appropriate products or eBooks from your posts.
So is Easy Typing Cash a Scam or Not?
Technically the course is not a scam, as long as you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. Internet marketing is not easy and if you choose to run your promotions on major search engines you need to have an advertising budget prepared that might not be recouped.
The bottom line is that you need to forget any notions about getting paid for writing/typing. The process of earning money involves, choosing a product to promote, writing about said product, getting your article/blog post to rank (involves learning SEO), and finally getting paid upon completion of a sale.
Now there is nothing wrong with this process but Easy Typing Cash misleads you about the true nature of what they’re selling and make it seem like all you have to do is write a couple paragraphs and wait for the cash to roll in. The other little bit of deception is in the true cost of the course.
For the initial $47 payment you will get the Easy Typing Cash tutorial but you’ll also be automatically enrolled in a 7 day trial period of something called the Instant Money Toolkit, it’s not clear what this additional program is but if you don’t cancel in time they’ll bill you $39.95 a month until you do so. If you’ve purchased the course and want to opt out of this costly program you can call 1-800-207-1132 to cancel.
Overall, I would advise proceeding with caution with EasyTypingCash, they’re not confident enough of their product to market it as what it is, an internet marketing course, instead they disguise it as a make money typing opportunity. They also throw in that monthly auto bill, a clear attempt to fleece their customers.
Now these transgressions could be excused if they were offering a stellar product, but unfortunately customer reviews paint a different story. The majority of people who’ve purchased the course have reported dissatisfaction on many consumer report websites.

This is a scam for two reasons. They lie to you about what they are selling. They charge you without telling you though it is hidden in the fine print. You have to read the fine print section right at the end of the document. It is written in small light grey text after the submit button. It is only here that they say that you are going to be charged a monthly subscription. They provide no receipt email of any kind listing what was charged. By the way the last paragraph says "THE STORY DEPICTED ON THIS SITE AND THE PERSON DEPICTED IN THE STORY ARE NOT REAL." I suppose they are covering their ass if someone tries to prosecute them in court. Regards Paul

I ALWAYS go onto the internet and explore these "easy money making" schemes if they make me interested. You will find most that time, that they are not what they seem. (Now there is a surprise!) Never sign up for something you haven't researched, anymore than you would work for an employer without researching their company in the real world. It isn't a "scam" per-say, but it is deceptive to what the real money making is about. Most will pay the cash upfront only to find that they cant use it. I do wonder though how many go back and ask for a refund. Another gimmick for these people to make money because most will not ask. The other thing was pointed out that the "free trial" if not canceled will cost about $40 a month if not canceled. Again, how many will cancel that in the first month and not get billed for at least the first month, which they loose and cant do a thing about. But maybe many months because they are lazy and don't look at things on their bank account statement that they didn't buy! More money for the company putting out these fast money making ideas!! These businesses probably make enough money on those two things alone to be able to offer a money back guarantee up to 12 month after purchase!! Remember too, they ARE businesses out to make as much cash with as little overhead as they can, in the shortest time frame!! "Buyer beware" is a saying for a reason!!

I have just enrolled in the Easy Typing Cash program, but only for the $47 part. From your review, I have decided to withdraw from the program. As I live in Australia, I would like to opt out in favor of a more reputable plan. Is there an email or web site where I can cancel and have my money returned please?

I have reviewed a few of these scams and bought a few too where they start charging you monthly ,so now I know to look into it first so I don't get deceived. Thanks for the info and research you do.

Hi, Its a shame the USA doesn't have laws that forbid these scam companies from operating, in Australia they would be shut down very quickly. Any fine print relating to additional monthly payments being taken from your account is A SCAM in my books, so this company should not be allowed to operate. Like all scammers, they will eventually rip off the wrong person in life. Jason

On January 19 I paid $47.00 IMTOOKITTED V8 WHICH IS EASYTYPINGCASH.COM and within 2 hours I called (800)207-1132 and talked with a woman who identified herself as Pauline --I was on hold for over 20 minutes before Pauline answered. Pauline told me that it had not been run threw my account and I asked her to cancel-- the order was run through my bank on 1/22 and I called (800) 207-1132 and again conversed with Pauline and again was on hold for over 20 minutes before Pauline answered -- she informed that I needed to wait 5 business days and assured me the money would be back in my account. My bank informed me on Monday 2/3 that the money had not been replaced and I called (800) 207-1132 at approximately 2:30 p.m.cst so according to my math skills it was 12:30 pst and I got a recording saying thatI needed to call back in there regular business hours. I called back later that afternoon and was on hold for over 20 minutes and finally hung up. I called again on 2/5 and talked with a lady named Sue and she said that she would make sure accounting put my money back into my account. This report was written on 2/6/2010.

Thank you so very much. Honesty is all I ask for and you gave it! The hidden agenda is just that hidden. It sounds like all you have to do is type and there is no mention of the month fee after signing up. Thank God I decided to do some research first and found this web site. Again. May Good Karma and Blessing be upon you!

hi, since you seem to understand the work from home businesses, are there LEGITIMATE SITES to check out, that actually want me to work for my paycheck, rather than just suck money out of me. thanks for the info.

Thanks for all tips. I just get to step which I have to put my bank acc's infor. to pay 27 usd. That site doesnt look professional at all, so I decide to go to check about it before I paid, and find out some help full info. here.

Well I think I will be calling them to cancel first thing in the morning. I wish I would of found out about all this before hand. I was only charged 27 bucks but thats money I didn't have to waste. If I wanted to waste money I could flush it down the toilet. That is what this scam is sounding like a sewer plant that takes your crap and keeps it and still charges you for the turd you left last month with them.

To Tim: I sign up for your easy typing cash last night but since that time I have changed my mind because you said that you would not touch my account until after I started making money and You withdrew out of my account on March 3rd. So please refund my money and cancel my application ASAP. Naomi Ross

Hi, I am also in this mess. I was charged $27 the first time i became a member of this easytypingcash program which they managed to cheat me for i did not read the terms and conditions very well. However, i wonder why such people are allowed to operate in the united states while they are cheating people with false promises. My question is will they charge me monthly if i do not cancel it? Because it has been more than 10 days since my first membership. Thank you,

I was going to get into this and gave my credit card # for $47 dollars. When they called, I found out that I would have to pay more than 47 dollars to prosper. I looking for something that I can grow into and prosper. If I already had money, why would I want to get off into a home based business
March 14th, 2010 at 5:16 pm (#)
Thank you for the info. There site would not open, after I paid $27 to start. I called and finally they emailed me, to say I could get on line. So, now that I know what it is, I can just forget about it. Leslie

Well, I am toast! I gave them my card number before I learned of this scam. So probably the next few days I will try to get my card adjusted back...................especially the $47 I gave them!

Having been really scammed, I was very skeptical about this website and decided to check it out. I'm very happy I did so. thank you so much for the good work you are doing. There was a time when we could not even believe the reviews bcoz even those who wrote the reviews seemed to be having an agenda of their own and never gave the correct picture. Thank you once again, and God Bless You.

YES, THIS IS A SCAM! I am having the same problem! I called (800)207-1132 on 2/22/10 and talked with a woman who identified herself as Pauline –I was on hold for over 20 minutes before Pauline answered. I asked her to cancel the order the same day it the money was debited from my account. Pauline said that I would received a credit in 10 days.
I called (800) 207-1132 again on 3/11/10 conversed with Sue and again was on hold for over 20 minutes before Sue answered and I explained that I had not received by refund. I asked to speak to a supervisor and Sue said that their was no one available to speak with and that a Manager would call within 48 hrs. I never received a return call from anyone. On 3/15/10 I called (800)-207-1132 AGAIN, and Grace answered the telephone. Grace told me that my account was never canceled. I told her that when I called on 3/11/10 , Sue told me that she saw where I had called in on 2/22/10 and that their company is a scam and I demand my refund.
I also told her that I was calling BBB, Chambers of Commerce and whomever to alert about their SCAM and to prevent them from taking advantage of innocent people. Grace told me that I would receive my refund by Friday 3/19/10. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! From now on, I will read online FIRST about ANY OFFERS! Thanks for all the helpful info.
March 15th, 2010 at 6:12 pm (#)
Grace and all the others should be locked up behind bars for their deception and flat out lies they tell the consumers! I have called for my refund and she informed me that it would not be visible until the 27th of march. We should all flood the BBB with our concerns. Has anyone found a legitimate home based business?

Wow, i received an email from easytyping wit all kinds of sweet deals... mentioning things like data-entry wit one bloody story abt a guy who was bed-ridden. i thought about it and decide to carry out research and found this site. I love this site, you have just saved alot of hard earned money slipping into the hands of scammers. Write now i am posting a report to my blog to warn anybody abt doing biz wt easytypingcash.com. And to visit this site about other scams.

WOW Fantastic! A real review of a product. Im so impressed with your honest original, and independent opinion (and not a rewritten copy of the sales letter). Iv booked marked your website for any future reviews on products. I dont know you for a bar of soap, but right off the bat you presented like I can trust your opinion, cause you gave information that is not recorded but only found by literally reviewing the product from the inside eg: purchased it. Thanks again this has saved me time and money!

Wow...wish I had read this first....I just accepted after debating about trying one of these work at home sites for over a year, and somehow this one caught my attention it seemed more realistic I just checked my account and my $47 bucks which began at $27 to be a member was just deducted from my account. I am so broken down right now to think I could possibly fall for another scam. May the wrath of God take these people a place they never thought of....

I checked before ordering with the Better Business Bureau and the rating of this company is listed as a F on a scale of A+ to F. They have also have had 10 reported complaints against them. Also listed as not a BBB accredited business.

to whom it may concern; this is a low life scam. I am a disabled person that makes a little over 900 bucks a month which doesn't amount to very much money , when u got house payments. and utilities to pay. so another words I'm starving and it doesn't matter to anyone right? thanks for nothing.

Just like others before me, I was looking for a legal way to make some extra money. I clicked into Easy Typing Cash..scrolled to the bottom to get the cost..decided NOT! I closed the link and went straight to INTERNET SCAMS. Thank you for your Top Recommendations.

Thanks so much for alerting the public about these ridiculous internet schemes that prey upon unfortunate people with their lil sob stories, who are just trying to earn an honest living making real money... because if we had extra money to spend we wouldn't even be looking at these websites. I hope all of them are found out and shut down!!!! But what about posting ads for Google online, what's up with that one is it LEGIT or not??? I keep seeing it on the news websites but at the bottom of the screen they say you'll be charged a monthly fee also??????

I thought I looked into what this was actually selling and felt confident that it was linking with internet marketing and that I would probably be writing product reviews etc and data entry. I have signed up after looking at the information and doing some research. NOWHERE did I see anything about monthly payments. I signed up for the two packages. I should have found your website first as I probably would have backed out!
I have professional skills and report writing capabilities so should be able to come up with something but am not depending on this. With any "gamble" I guess it is about what you can afford to lose. i figured a less than $100 investment for me was ok, BUT I DID NOT expect to be debited monthly payments so will be deciding what to do in the next 24 hours. I would usually not sign up for anything like this, but with a husband about to lose his job on June 30 I figured I could take a look. I will keep this site informed of what happens.
I would advise anyone to NEVER risk losing money that you can't afford to lose.

Thank you very much for the warning i was almost going to sign up with them but i decided to read their terms and conditions and was confused so i decided to wait.Thank you once again.

I'm so glad that I decided to check this site out. After I enrolled in the program I tried to go to the link my computer was not able to get me there. The program stated that there was a problem getting to that link. I decided to review this program and found this website. Thanks for the tip. I canceled immediately the same day I enrolled.
