Home Income Cash System Reviews – Legit or Scam?
Home Income Cash System is the latest version of a highly controversial work at home offer. The company marketing this opportunity has continually relied on a series of deceitful sales tricks and legal loopholes to profit off unsuspecting job seekers.
For those of you unaware of this company’s sordid past let me briefly explain. This program has been previously sold under the names BlackBelt Profit System and Home Income Profit System. Here are the screenshots to show you that they continually use the same sales page, opting only to change the name of the course.
 |
 |
The problem with Home Income Cash System and its previous versions is two-fold. First, they’re sold through deceptive “advertorials”- fake news sites designed to look like the real thing. These sites feature a bogus article about a young single mom who’s making a living using this system.
They use an IP tracking script to geographically customize the article based on your physical location. The sites also have a series of fake comments praising the Home Income Cash System, but won’t allow you to post your own thoughts.
Now, at the bottom of myincomeconnection.com (the website for Home Income Cash System) they’ve added a disclaimer which states,
…Our products and services have become very popular world-wide. As a result, there are many other websites that may link to this page. Although we monitor and randomly check the websites that help us advertise our services through linking to our page, we cannot be responsible for the content of any website that we do not control. Please be advised that earnings claims of any type are strictly against our policy as results vary according to each individual’s own efforts…”
This is their way of saying that they can’t be held responsible for the fake news sites. This disclaimer is misleading, as it tries to get you to believe that they are unrelated to the websites that link to them.
However, the only reason anyone would link to Home Income Cash System is because they’re an affiliate for the program and are paid when their referrals sign up. If they cared about accurately portraying their course then they would simply ban these affiliates.
The second major problem with the company behind Home Income Cash System is in the way they sell the opportunity. They use a trial system that gives folks access to the course for only $1.95 which, after 5 days, turns into a monthly fee of $29.95.
Among the 126 negative reviews left on this site for the previous version of Home Income Cash System, the majority of complaints deal with this billing practice. The problems range from people forgetting to cancel, being unable to cancel in time, or getting billed without ever receiving the course.
Not to mention that aside from the billing complaints no one reported using the system to actually make money online. If you did/do sign up for Home Income Cash System and need to cancel the number at the time of this write up is (888) 230-9941.
The bottom line is that the owners of this course are simply in it to make money. If they had a good business opportunity they wouldn’t have to change the name of their course every couple months or use deceptive billing tactics to bilk money from their customers. They’d also put an end to their affiliates’ favorite gimmick, the fake news site.

They spam the heck out of my website with some B.S. scam opportunity. I’m getting really sick of them!
February 8th, 2012 at 6:52 am
I thought that in this day and age people would know about scammers and not fall into their tricks. So sad

I’ve recently received an email about the said Home Income Cash scheme and I did not sign up for anything. However, I clicked the link on the email. Was that somehow a Trojan that will open the door to my email account for hackers? I got the email from my Mom who said that she did not send me the email. So I guess my question is if my email was already hacked into by clicking the link… Enlightenment on my predicament would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks!
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:03 pm
I have never visited the website, or any sort of online work site…. but spam emails are being sent to all my contacts in my email about this “great opportunity” I got- and how “I was getting tired of asking people for money, and this site turned my life around.” I’m embarrassed that people are getting these emails from me. How do they have access to my account and how do I stop it… I tried changing my password…
Thanks!

Your contact list has been compromised. How it happened is not certain. There are lots of ways.
Changing the password is not going to be effective because that horse has left the barn.
You might need to get a new email address and tell your friends to block your old one.
If I were you, I’d start changing *all* your passwords.

I got an email from my wife – “We should try this”, so I clicked, realized it was a scam and asked her about it. She said she did not send any emails to me. I’ve scanned both computers and found no virus. Is there someway the web site could suck up my email address book when you visit it? Are there people out there getting an email from ME? How would I know and how could I stop it?
David says:
February 4th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Here’s how it can be done. They send an unsolicited email (spam) to an address they’ve harvested from the Internet. The link in the spam email you get actually takes you to another site and that link has the email address of the recipient encoded in one of the parameters in the link, and that site grabs the email address and forwards your browser request on to the main site.
From there, it’s trivial for them to masquerade an email as coming from, in this case, your wife. If you look at the message header, it often, but not always, gives the source away. It’s not trivial, but certainly possible, to forge the email message header.
Whenever I fill out an online form for anything new, I use a gmail address that I dedicate as a spam catcher. I monitor that gmail inbox a few times a month to ferret out the spammers and decide if I really want to use whatever thing that required me to enter an emaill address.
January 29th, 2012 at 8:34 pm
I opened an additional page, typed in a fake name, email, and phone number, then the same exact “one opening left in your area” popped up. If you read all the reviews they all are saying the same thing.
January 29th, 2012 at 2:39 am
But how do these people get local mom photos and their names?
January 28th, 2012 at 8:33 am
How do these scam outfits get my email address?

I never received any income cash system now more then 60 days.After already deduct my credit……
January 26th, 2012 at 1:12 am
Like most of you I received an email from a friend which I never get emails from unless they’re important. The email said something strange and had a link. Normally I wouldn’t click links especially if below it shows that the same email was sent to multiple people but it was from my best friend so I said whatever.
I read halfway through the article when I said to myself, “Bull shit.” I clicked any link on the “News Site” but they all led to the same site. I laughed and immediately knew it was a scam.
Seriously though, don’t trust sites like those and my advice to those that are down on their luck and are willing to try anything, you’re better off trying to win the Lottery because trying a ‘get rich quick’ scheme isn’t ever going to work.
January 19th, 2012 at 6:55 am
To quote a well known phrase, ‘it is sounds too good to be true then it probably is’. I got an email from an associate with a link to a web page, extolling the virtues of a home cash scheme. I immediately smelt a rat because I don’t normally get email of this type from this person. Sure enough, a subsequent message from him confirmed that his email account had been hacked.
Nobody is going to offer you money for doing nothing – the testimonials they show on their site are fictitious – try leaving a negative one and see how far you get.
So, yes, IT’S A SCAM. Avoid at all costs.
January 12th, 2012 at 5:45 pm
You people aren’t too bright are you?
You ever think of reading the fine print and thinking for yourselves for once? Or do you need everyone to hold your hand through every little transaction you make online?
Here’s a hint for you: USE COMMON SENSE! NOBODY IS GOING TO PAY YOU $1000′S PER WEEK TO POST LINKS ONLINE LIKE A MONKEY. USE THE WONDERFUL BRAIN THAT MOTHER NATURE GAVE YOU.
CASE CLOSED.

Not to compassionate with other peoples problems are you? There are a lot of desperate people out there who may have lost their lively hood through no fault of their own and are grasping at straws to provide food and shelter for their families. Yeah, maybe the ways they look into are suspect but let’s hope you don’t become that desperate huh?

This response is for Trish and Akash. Trish, Akash, there’s a reason the quote “there’s a sucker born every minute” exists. Just like there is no overnight cure to being obese, old, or ugly, there is also no overnight cure to being broke. Things that propose to defy the laws of nature are a safe bet to be untrue. In addition to the adage “if it’s too good to be true, then it probably isn’t” is another that I personally enjoy: “if it were true, then everybody would be doing it.”
Before you berate SMARTGUY as living an ‘ivory tower’ existence, let me clarify some things for you. FIRST, there are people out there who are less “endowed with gray matter” as you put it. It’s a fact of life but it does not make them less culpable in their decisions, however. What it does mean is that they need to expend a tiny bit more effort in doing their homework. SECOND, people like him or me or anyone else who actually do their research on any matter in life and try to make the most responsible, well-informed decision possible are becoming a shrinking minority to the mob’s herd mentality. THIRD, no man exists apart from his fellow men. All decisions affect everyone like ripples in a pond. For every one person who makes bad, ill-informed, and irresponsible decisions, it makes my good, well-informed and responsible decisions that much less effective. Case in point are the people who didn’t default on their home loans or credit cards. After the horses all escaped, the banks decided to close the gates, making it that much harder on those who refuse to walk away from their homes or default and declare bankruptcy over their personal finances. Who’s really living an ‘ivory tower’ existence here? It’s people like me who refuse to relinquish responsibility for my choices and actions (or inactions) that are keeping this country from total ruin. It might happen eventually, but so long as there are some holdouts with a sense of duty and responsibility, it won’t be today. FOURTH, you have your metaphor mixed up anyway. The Ivory Tower if you aren’t aware was destroyed along with the rest of the world because one person wouldn’t take the hard road and do what needed to be done. He kept waiting for a shortcut, a caveat or a loophole to avoid doing his duty, even though it meant the demise of everyone else. FIFTH, and lastly, I AM a member of the financially challenged masses. I AM out all the time. I AM a member of the human race. AND…I AM in agreement with what SMARTGUY said. You may not like the references he used, but his point was perfectly valid. The article is about whether or not this is a scam, not about the horrid character of those peddling it. That’s another story altogether. It isn’t smugness to point out the obvious, because apparently, there are people who overlook it. It isn’t smugness to admonish people to open their eyes, to wake from their own naivete, or to exercise their common sense. Instead of doing that, he could have stood by and said nothing. Jack may still choose to trade his cow for a handful of “magic beans” but it won’t be because people like SMARTGUY or even myself refused to stand up to the possible ridicule of those very people.

You who laugh at the victims’ fate are worse than the trash who committed the wrongs.
It is easy to tell the victims that their loss was caused by their own stupidity, but if you ACTUALLY were smart, you would know that’s not what the best course of action could have been.
Scams like these are meant to appeal to people. In desperation, people don’t see what they don’t want to see. That doesn’t make you smarter than them, you’re just not that desperate, yet.
I have not been scammed so far, and hopefully that will remain so. But, acting so smug, I do hope you get caught in a scam yourself for an experience. We will see who the smug one is then, smartguy.

January 18th, 2012 at 8:49 am
There are people in this world who through no fault of their own are less well-endowed with grey matter than you obviously consider yourself to be. And there are people who are so desperate to earn some money that they will try just about anything in order to extricate themselves from dire straits. When those two factors occur in one single individual, that person can very easily be taken for a ride.
Smug, judgemental, small-minded SMARTGUY. What an ivory-towers life you must lead, basking in your innate superiority, high above the mentally and/or financially challenged masses. Maybe you should get out more. Join the human race.

I went along with it until I got to the Credit Card bit, at which point a big red light marked SCAM started flashing inside my head. They wanted me to pay $78, which they assured me was 50% of the usual fee – applicable only if I registered before midnight tomorrow. They also told me there were only two remaining vacancies available in my area(I live in France). It all sounded so exciting – and so urgent. I can easily understand why someone who is really down on their luck would be tempted, and am appalled by this unscrupulous behaviour.
The link to their page arrived in an e-mail sent to my husband by a professional contact who should have known better. This person had circulated the message to dozens of people on the same mail. As the supposed income comes from “posting links”, I wonder if she actually earns money each time the link within her mail is clicked on. Disgraceful. I hope she will read this.
January 8th, 2012 at 2:26 pm
thank you..this scam named local woman in my area..same story.. I entered fake details to see how far the site would take me..then it asked for $1.95..for 5 day trial and then charge of $29.95 every month.. decided to quit..feel sorry for people who are being conned..

This is the same one I got… Genesis Consulting working for Amazon – sell Amazon products through your own website and earn commission – up to $285 a day was advertised on Facebook. They ask for credit card details of 1.95 for the 5 day trial and support help to get your website built. Then it will cost $29.95 per month. It’s been 2 days – I created an awesome website (one thing I got out of it was learning to build one). I was excited and every ‘not too sure about this’ feeling I had and asked them about they came back with a very logical answer which sounded reasonable. I only wanted to SCOPE it out and test the waters in the 5 day period. My gut kept setting off alarm bells when I questioned a lot things myself and came up with ‘this just sounds too good to be true and it doesn’t add up’. It took my teenage son to say – “Get out now!”. I cancelled my credit card today !!!
January 3rd, 2012 at 9:02 am
I just read an article in an apparent “news site” called “News.co.uk Weekly” about that mom who’s making a living using this system. I googled it, read this, and then wanted to try clicking anything else on the site to check if it was real.. and guess what!? Every single link, even “other related news” took me to the same page mobilemoneymachines(dot)com! So I guess it is a scam. I feel so bad cause every make-money-at-home opportunity I meet, it´s a failure, but I would love to work at home! :(
So yeah people, it´s another scam.
December 30th, 2011 at 6:04 am
I came across a site talking about a single mother making close to $8000 a month. It looked so real and genuine because they used a local name for the single mother. I felt like this is too good to be true but decided to give it a try. Immediately I got to the credit card section, I googled it and waaaallaaaaa…….here I am……. Another scam…..

I am an IT security engineer and everyday I investigate this kind of websites. I really want to send a clear message to everyone, do not sign up for any unknown website asking to make any kind of payments. There are some legit websites where you sign up, search for jobs suite your skills then you bid, if you win the bidding the employer will pass you the job. If you complete it you get paid if no you get a negative feedback. You may check these ones:

I wish I had read this before making the purchase, I am a victim of the scam. I am currently unemployed and thought this would be a solution to at least pay my basic bills.
This is the most cruel thing anyone could do to take advantage of despereate people…I hope this person will one day pay for his/her actions.

You want to believe when you read about other people’s success that you too can do that. You’d have a better chance buying a lotto ticket. CANCEL YOUR CREDIT CARD NOW if you gave them your details

Dear Trish
I googled ‘tappersuk’ but was not able to find the website. Is there a typo in the spelling?
Thanks for your help.
Trish says:
January 12th, 2012 at 6:10 am
I’m sure they will. I’m a great believer in the Law of Karma. But that’s not much help to you now. I’m so sorry to hear that you are in this difficult position. Why not try one of the websites suggested by Khalid M (next message up)?
If English is your native tongue, you have a UK bank account(to receive your monthly earnings,) and you are a fast and accurate typist, why not also try tappersuk. I do some work for them. It doesn’t pay a fortune, but it does pay, and they are a completely bona-fide outfit.
If after testing you and putting you through their induction programme they accept you as one of their on-line typists, all you have to pay for is your own private purchase of a foot pedal and ear-phones, and about £10 one-off charge for the downloading of their software. They deduct that from your first month’s pay, which is paid into your UK bank account.
Good luck to you.

Someone has been persistently sending emails to me lately linking to this program via News Daily 7. I have always been sceptical about this kind of program … too good to be true. So I googled to get some neutral third-party comments and what I gathered was as expected … another scam. Anyway I tried to give it a shot. I registered my First Name as King and last name as Kong, billing address at The Zoo, Congo. Hahaha … hope they could not seek revenge.
December 6th, 2011 at 9:36 am
This company is a SCAM !! I fell for it. They DO NOT stand behind their money back return. I am very disappointed as i am a low income person unable to work a normal job and thought this would help supplement my social security and not rely on assistance from my state. I have lost $97 and some cents that i could have used on my bills. I’m still trying to get my money back. DO NOT fall for the scam like i did.

but i had to make it clear for him that i didnt want it at the end, because of this site telling the truth. So THANK YOU! :D (he got mad) Troll :7

help, i think i may have been scammed. Does the Genesis consulting group fall into this area. I started my own website through these guys selling items from amazon last week and looking for a new hobby and maybe make some money eagerly joined up. Only yesterday a cannot find my website on google or even from their own home back office. It was working fine up until yesterday and after a few phone calls to the Genesis help line was told that my site works perfectly on their computers and they told me they couldn’t help me. While trying to find out about my missing web site i came across this site. So have i been conned and should i change my bank details?

I joined 2 days ago, I was definitely stupid. The website editing was fun, went well, but today I can’t log in my back-office with the right username and password. There is a box where they say they send you the password, but when I typed my email address it said my email address doesn’t appear in their system. Beauty! So I can’t do anything on my edited website as it seems I am deleted already after they have got the $1.95. The story was about a 5 day trial, but it’s only 2 days. So no one should register, it’s a fake thing!

yea I “being smart” recearched this site as well as many others, what I found is one calls one a scam and they redirect you to another website saying it’s legit. So I downsize that website and research it and find out its a scam. One scam leads to another scam through deceit. Think I’ll call it a night watch some netfllix. atleast they aren’t a scam.

I almost went for this too but Googled it thinking it was scam. In life nothing is this easy, unless your a banker. I put complaint into facebook as well, I am very angry they would lower them selves to this. But after thinking about it, wasn’t to much of a surprise they are just looking to make money like anyone else and don’t really GAS about anyone. Thats the wonderful world we live in ! Rock on …..
October 29th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Found their website on facebook and after completing the first section I stopped and read the small print telling me about a $29.95 monthly charge. This surprised me and so I decided NOT to go any further. In about 15mins or so American guy called ‘George’ rang on unknown number and so tried to get my credit card/debit card details.
After repeated questions from myself he got more and more annoyed. He did not want to take the good old ‘I’ll have to speak to my husband first’ or ‘I’ll log on the website to complete’ lines. Instead he kept on insisting that the offer is limited which is absolutely bullshit and that I could cancel anytime etc. I was not fooled! YOU SHOULD NOT BE FOOLED PEOPLE! this is just a group of low lifes trying to scam their way through life without giving a damn about anyone!
joe says:
November 2nd, 2011 at 9:01 pm
omg! i pretty much did the same thing..But I did not complete the section where I got to pay 1.90… then the next day a guy rang me and asked me about my details. he was persistent!
October 28th, 2011 at 4:56 am
If they have already your bank account number, it would be sensible if you phone your bank, block your card and ask for a replacement!
October 26th, 2011 at 8:37 pm
Thank goodness for pages like this… I knew that the scam was too good to be true.
October 25th, 2011 at 1:31 pm
I contacted the BBB about this. You can also file scam complaints with them and i highly suggest it if you got scammed. More people need to complain to the BBB about this so they can figure out exactly who is running this fake company etc. and end it!

I never read they would charge more than the 9.99 they ended up saying it would cost because I kept closing the window and they kept making it cheaper I feel so stupid right now!
Guess I am going to have to call my credit card company and stop the payment and make sure they don’t make any other charges.. Why can’t they find out who is running these sites and lock them up? Thank you so much for the review I always look stuff up first I just wasn’t thinking.. Yep I am smuck, I knew it as soon as I enter my card number.. :(
October 25th, 2011 at 1:18 am
Ha ha. I almost fell for it. Good thing my instinct told me to google it first and I went down to this page. Thank God. Thank you so much for this info.

The fine print – for payment:
“To access your website, a nominal charge of $1.95 USD is needed for us to know that you are a real person. Upon payment, you’ll receive instant access to your very own website for a 5-day trial-enrollment. After your trial-enrollment expires, in order to keep your website active and available on the internet, you agree that your card will be charged $29.95 per month for hosting and maintenance. There are no hidden fees and no long-term contracts. You may cancel anytime simply by calling our office toll-free at (888) 613-2498.”

I just read a new advertisment that is being circulated around facebook for Australians under the name ‘Home Working Connection’.
The really suss thing for me is the way they write – with so many spelling errors! There is no proper punctuation and the advertisement uses the word ‘check’ several times instead of cheque. It has apparently photos of several ‘real’ people holding up their cheque, for everyone to see that they are really receiving tonnes of money for doing some mysterious online activities for only a few hours per week.
Furthermore, the comments below (apparently by ordinary every day people) are all written in the same style, with the same type of language. It is so obvious they are all written by the same people!
Innocent people sign up for these scams out of desperation or a search for something better, not realising they will be charged monthly by a company who they can’t reach to cancel their membership.
What ‘Home Working Connection are doing is purely illegal! I sent a complaint to facebook and I hope this can be stopped one day.

Shame on Facebook for dealing with scam makers. Beware for this… if you’re looking how to make money on-line look for currency trading platforms, its risky but at least true. I will close my Facebook account and become a Google+ member.
October 16th, 2011 at 3:25 am
They have a timer up next to where you enter your credit card details, and also make you fill out a form with your details to check if you are ‘eligible’ to work for them!! unbelievable!! these scam artists aren’t even eligible for LIFE!
i hope somebody manages to sue your asses, you asses.
October 13th, 2011 at 11:55 am
I’m usually very cynical and careful when approaching these schemes or scams, but even I sleep walked into this one. However I stopped abruptly when I saw the payment box asking for credit card details, because for such a small amount I was expecting PayPal or similiar; I also think anything asking exclusively for credit card info is often criminal activity. So fortunately I did not input any personal financial info, but was stupid enough to complete my name, home address and mobile phone number and main ISP email details; I hope they cannot use this information to access my PayPal or bank details….
Earlier this year a company took approx £200 from my PayPal account without my prior knowledge or permission, and luckily PayPal returned the money back into my account.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Thank ALL you HONEST and informative people. My faith in humanity remains, because of people like you.

An Australian.
October 9th, 2011 at 9:13 am
Last night i fell for this scam. Usually would’ve checked it out better but i thought because of the alleged affiliation with amazon it seemed ok. stupid me. Now only one day later i cannot gain access to the account i set up with them. total rip off. Take it i’ll need to confess my stupidity to my bank and see if they can keep me safe!
October 9th, 2011 at 6:56 am
When clicking on each of the icons at the top of the page, which is designed to look like a news page, each heading i.e., ‘Politics’, ‘World’ and ‘Leisure’ takes you to the same cash scam page! Grrr makes my blood boil… targeting everyday people who are just trying to make ends meet. I am only sorry that we are not able to expose these scammers before more people fall for it.
October 7th, 2011 at 9:32 am
Buyer beware this does not make you money and will cost you $29.95 per month. Don’t touch it at all
October 6th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
Not sure if it’s the same people, calling themselves Internet Solutions and supposedly setting up an Amazon associate website for you and feeding in loads of sales for a 15% commission. The story of single mum making hundreds of pounds a day is the same as is the initial $1.95 cost and then $29.95 a month. US calls from 0016022476002 gave UK number as 08082342850. Wanted to know creditcard number to bill and bank account into which earnings were to be paid. Twp names Ivan Wilcox and Neil something. Hope this saves someone a lot of grief.
October 4th, 2011 at 11:56 am
I was taken also for this SCAM. First they asked for 49.95 and next thing you know you are being asked to sign up for hosting, search engine etc. Don’t get taken by these people. Spoke to two individual who claim they are interviewing you to see if qualify for the job. They want to know how much credit limit I have and for me to use 1500 to start up my business. After listening to these two I simple got an attitude with them and I was disconnected. I will be disputing this charge. they will keep your money if you are not wise. SCAM big time
September 30th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
i dont know why no one noticed the spelling of CHEQUE on that website
Caroline says:
October 26th, 2011 at 8:36 pm
‘Check’ is an Americanised spelling of the word Cheque.
September 28th, 2011 at 12:49 am
Thanks for putting up this information!! I almost signed up for it.
September 13th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
I have looked at so many sites like this as soon as they mention money its a scam, you shouldn’t have to pay to work. I am just waiting for the call from the American man as I had put my details in before they asked for money so I can tell him where to stick it.
August 31st, 2011 at 1:01 pm
not so long ago i fell for this, i was wrong and that’s what i get, normally I research these things but it had me this time. I hope they stop this or get caught. IF ANYTHING JUST CANCEL YOUR BANK CARD AND ALL IS WELL,THANK GOD IT’S JUST £1.95.
August 30th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Thank you so much people for these comments as I clearly haven’t sensed anything dogie before…Now that these people started calling me from USA to UK, and being so polite (with two-three calls a day) and asking me if I “feel excited” about entering the business…yeah sure…if only Id knew they have that monthly fee and all what they want is to get you involved into some kind of “exciting” training which costs £… and gives you literally NOTHING!…
I am a lucky one not to continue with this scam, but sadly unlucky that I have to change my card urgently in order to escape unauthorized payments taken from my card. Is there a LEGAL way to close them down or at least get me paid for this fraud??? I saw on other site that this business is officially closed and that it would be a great idea to get a legal advice. So people, if you can get it for free or you are in the very bad position that you’ve lost already thousands with this company, seek for a legal solution to this PROBLEM.
August 26th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Rule 1: If it sounds too good to be true, it is not true.
Rule 2: No-one ever tells their secret of getting rich unless they are becoming richer by sharing those secrets.
Rule 3: The secret is that the are becoming rich via people like you (if 1000 people like you sign up at 12$, that’s 12000) Well there are some 50m in the US alone who probably wish for some magic to happen, so do the math.
Rule 4: If an American guy is calling you because he cares to help you, tell him to walk towards the rocks. For you poor souls elsewhere, so that you know, Americans don’t give a damn about you. I am American and it makes me sad to see how many crooks and dishonest people this country has. Believe me…A LOT!
August 16th, 2011 at 9:07 am
I knew this was a scam from the start. ANY legit job advertisement will tell you what you will be doing. Nowhere in the article does it give a job description. Personally, I was wondering if it would be illegal to work with them. $5700? Use common sense!!!
August 16th, 2011 at 8:08 am
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Thanks for posting this I was about to sign up! Glad I found this article!
August 16th, 2011 at 7:22 am
Not the scam I was expecting, but, did suspect it as a scam for a “pay to spam” type garbage like you see on facebook games for “free credits”…
August 14th, 2011 at 10:42 pm
Knew it was a scam as soon as I saw the constant referral to the ‘checks’ I would receive, don’t know about anyone else but i’d prefer a cheque.
Sacha says:
October 30th, 2011 at 10:27 am
Check is american, but did you notice on the fake new page, if you click on any other articles, sections etc. it comes up with an advertisement for it?

OMG how do i stop it? i tried that number but its not working i am in new zealand someone please help me

Holy !!! was ready to go with it (could do with some extra cash right now) … even scrolled down to check the feedback … luckily i decided to google “scam” … lo and behold everything that you mentioned is correct THANKS
August 11th, 2011 at 10:29 am
i successfully pasted this link to my facebook so hopefully others will see it and posted it to complaints about the ad

August 5th, 2011 at 8:03 am
Bad website for sure
August 4th, 2011 at 9:51 am
This should be a lesson to all programs that claim to make you a lot of money. I wasn’t scammed by them, but believe me, I’ve been scammed by a lot of other programs. We live in the computer age where most information is at our fingertips.
If you find any program that you may think is too good to be true, check it out. In your internet browser, type (name of program) scam? (without parenthesis). Some may not be outright scams, but are “shady” deals. And if you can’t find any information on the deal, that doesn’t mean they’re any good. It’s just that no one has caught on to them yet!
July 19th, 2011 at 6:18 am
The disclaimer at the bottom of the page practically tells you that it is all a work of fiction and the stories they’ve mentioned have been faked. What more do you need???
July 6th, 2011 at 2:52 pm
I just got the phone call from some American guy, thanks to the reviews on this page I knew what this was all about. I did not give my credit card details on the web form as I thought it looked dodgy I was right
thanks for you honest reviews
July 5th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
How interesting is it that Facebook is actually blocking this review site from posting it on the News Feed? Very disappointing from Facebook, I wanted to warn my friends to no avail!! is Facebook part of the scam??
July 3rd, 2011 at 1:40 am
This review is really helpful! I was tempted at first, but good thing I thought of doing a bit of research if it’s really legit or just another scam.. Well, thanks for this review and to all of your comments guys.. :)
June 18th, 2011 at 10:30 am
I put my details in, email address, mobile phone number etc, got to the next page asking me for $1.95 and closed it all down!! An hour or so later an American bloke rang me up and tried to hassle me, I stopped him talking and said I’m not interested thank you! I have been also inundated with emails from the company saying allsorts of weird stuff, like “I’m not sure you should be getting this email, but I’ll make a spot for you and talk to our manager tomorrow” and “You can make $1200 per day if you click on the link” etc etc!! Beware DO NOT give them any of your details, do not especially give your Debit card details, I didn’t, thank goodness but now I have to get rid of all the emails!!! There should be “Internet Police” to shut these scammers down!!!!
June 12th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
I signed up for this the other day. As soon as I did I knew I had done something silly. I phoned up my bank account and confessed all. I was advised I could cancel my debit card so that no future payments could be taken from my account. Hands up, lesson learned only honest work for me and no quick get rich schemes ever again.
May 27th, 2011 at 4:37 pm
Still on Facebook, now as “HOME WORKING CONNECTION” the same design and fees and everything. it looks really tempting, but anybody with common sense will think twice. I’m glad i did my research and found you, before did something really stupid.
May 20th, 2011 at 11:07 am
i signed up for this. entered card details and got charged 1.95. after that realized it was Nt i signed up for and quickly realized oh my god how stupid am i. phoned this number to cancel 0808 234 2850. got an american man and i asked him to cancel it. whether he did or not i dont know but i phoned my bank and cancelled my card and they are sending out a new one. WHAT A SCAM. hope this helps.
April 4th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
This scam is currently advertising on Facebook – the ads says:
Part Time Jobs
aol.com
Can you type? Get paid working from home part time. Requirements: Computer
When you click on the ad you don’t go to aol.com you go to a fake news website: ws8daily.com/2/ From the links on there you get taken to: myincomeconnection.com/myincomeconnection/?publisher=CD1274&sub_id=400173
Further research reveals that the myincomeconnection website is owned by Genesis Consulting Group | 3116 S Mill Ave Suite 212 | Tempe, AZ 85282 genesisonlineconsulting.com
1 (888) 230-9941 / 0808 234-3438
A report on rip-off report reveals that this is just another company offering high priced coaching to “help” you set up an affiliate website (which is unlikely to make you any money) as well as over-priced web-hosting at $19.95 per month: http://www.ripoffreport.com/websites/genesis-consulting-g/genesis-consulting-group-susp-cf8d9.htm
That poor guy paid $2000 for “coaching” on how to create a crappy affiliate website which is unlikely to earn him anything.
These people should be locked up for taking advantage of people’s lack of knowledge in order to rip them off.
April 1st, 2011 at 2:54 am
I did fill in my details on the first page, I thought it was for FREE, but when I proceed to the next step, you need to pay for $1.95 for postage and then automatic monthly payment of $29.95 taken from your credit card for your so called website. Then I realized that this is a scam and decided not to provide my credit card details, THANK GOODNESS!!!
WARNING! NEVER FILL UP YOUR DETAILS LIKE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, EMAIL, PHONE…believe me, they will send you a follow-up email regarding their scam…..
March 20th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
I was suspicious since this “professional” site mispelled a word on the 1st page: Sytem instead of System. A child can see that this is a scam.
February 26th, 2011 at 10:11 pm
When I came across the website, I tried to keep an open mind because I’ve been burned by stuff like this before. But what triggered the alarm bells is the fact that I was presented with conflicting information.
On the front sales page it says “Get your FREE kit”. I thought to myself “Well ok, if it’s free that means I won’t need to pay anything upfront”. WRONG! On the very next page, after furnishing them with my (fake) details, they asked for a fee to cover shipping, plus an ongoing monthly fee which kicks in after a few days. So that was a blatant lie on the home page – NOT free at all. Keep away.
January 28th, 2011 at 8:20 am
I thought 40 hours of work for £5000 in a month sounded too good to be true. Not that it isn’t still worth working at home on other more honest kits.
January 21st, 2011 at 8:25 am
I always tend to research these things AFTER i’ve signed up… i’m trying to learn! I did fill in my details and try to sign up, but for some reason they said that my card details were declined and I needed to go back and correct something. When i clicked on the link below that said return, all i got was a blank white page saying thank you!
I’m wondering now if it’s because I was using my pre-paid Mastercard and it only had a balance of £7… maybe they declined it because they couldn’t get the authorisation for the higher amount…?
I THEN decided to search a little info about the company and ended up here… i’ve fallen for it again but I think i’ve just had a close call and nothings gone through.
Fingers crossed. When are we going to get genuine home based opportunities that don’t require buying and selling, or delivering catalogues?? With all the technology being used these days you would have thought more online jobs would exist!
January 7th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
Thank you for this site. I almost signed up but then googled the company and got this site.
I will NOT be signing up. I signed up stupidly for a similar site – it cost me £19.99 (but they took over £33 plus another £69.) What an IDIOT! I am not usually gullable but when you are desperate financially you will get suckered!
December 14th, 2010 at 4:30 am
Beware I tried this scam and had to cancel my credit card as it was impossible to cancel it with Home Income Cash System. Money was coming out every month, and No profits were coming in. A COMPLETE SCAM.
December 10th, 2010 at 9:18 am
Am a poverty stricken single mom myself; looking for a legitimate way to make an income stream online. Many, many, many thanks Reviewopedia for your post as i was tempted to go onto the site for a look-see but decided to Google first. The warning bells started when i kept getting ‘stop’ pop-ups on trying to exit the advert page!
December 8th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
this is a total scam, i read the very bottom of news screen and smelled a rat, then i googled the name and arrived here, very glad i did .thankfully before i entered any bank details.
December 8th, 2010 at 4:41 am
Luckily my bank queried the attempted deduction – for more than 2,000 pounds!
Stay away!

January 23rd, 2012 at 10:17 pm

December 7th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
i should have looked at this first cos i have 20 pounds a month taken out and not received the kit how do i cancel, is there an email or can i block my card through my bank please help ty
November 22nd, 2010 at 9:44 am
I too was suspicious when I came across this, and like some of the people above, stopped before entering financial details. Coincidentally, I’m writing a review (Negative review) on one of the other products they sell the same way. Congratulations on putting a pic of the ‘smartphone page’ on your blog. They use this frequently, and also a number of so called ‘news’ features. Unfortunately their ads appear in so many places that I’m sure their still making a fortune. I suggest that if you receive an email from an affiliate to one of these, immediately unsubscribe form the affiliates list. If enough people do it, it may send them a message. Call this a scam? It’s daylight robbery!
November 15th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
As a single mum looking to find work,extra income my partner told me to check out this website i had my suspicions so decided to check out all your reviews soo glad i did!! If anyone asks for money upfront or bank details steer well clear!!

P.S. I’m glad I didn’t “apply”!!!
October 29th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
I check out sites like these from time to time. I have a prepaid credit card I use to do it! Placed £5 on the card for this and spent £3 b4 signing up!
This is an absolute scam! As soon as you sign they offer you discounted rates on affiliates to advertise on your site!
So they make money on referring you and charge you $39.99 to have a free advertisement on your website.
Would be easier and cheaper to build a website using your isp and then signing up for specific affiliates depending on the site you host.
Good luck to these idiots trying to take more cash from me!
Advantage of a prepaid card, I would suggest this to anyone trying sites like this in the future. Do not give them card details that lead to your own bank account. Take a prepaid credit card and use that for transactions and only place enough cash to cover the initial cost.

October 26th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
hi there, thank god i read this page before i progressed any further with the “home income cash system” and luckily i have no credit cards in order to complete the 2nd step of the application, too good to be true…
unfortunately to get to the 2nd screen of the 3 step sign up process i had to fill in the 1st screen which was the basic personal details, which i filled up & stopped as soon as i saw the $29.99…
does any one know if i’m going to regret having done that?????
cheers
October 26th, 2010 at 3:20 am

Thank you everyone for the advise, thank god that was a close call!
October 9th, 2010 at 2:37 am
you can see in the url it is a php code which is suspicious so i downloaded the file (with a downloader) and where the city name there is:
document.write(geoip_city());, document.write(geoip_region());”
THUS it uses a ip tracker to get where you live it is fake do not trust them
October 6th, 2010 at 12:08 am
Thank you for this review. Appreciate it. DONT give them YOUR details!
Lets break this crap now and give it for free ~ From what i can gather from the “myincomeconnection.com” site in the video they show you their pitch. What you are paying for is a website builder with themes, and then providing a way to “drop ship” goods for sale into it. You could do this with many of the free website hosts (with shopping cart) and still drop ship goods for sale. You take links from sellers, and then sell their goods for them. If you make a sale through your website, you get some of the money for that sale.
October 5th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
I came across the Home Income System in two different forms and must admit i was interested enough to fill in the form for ‘free info’ only to be met with a request for $1.95 + a monthly fee. I rang the toll free number it gave. It went through to the States (I’m in the UK) and I quizzed the lady who answered about fees etc and she was adamant I would get my money back if I canceled and when I asked what exactly I had to do to earn the dosh she told me that as I had filled in the application someone would ring to explain. I then did an internet search and came to this site. So a close call, especially as I always put an incorrect number on web pages ie car insurance ‘cos I hate being called and pestered. I pity the poor sod that gets my call! It’s also worth mentioning that I emailed the Daily Telegraph as one of the adverts shows the ‘Telegraph’ logo as they had ran an article and had given it credence. Unfortunately they haven’t responded : (
Thanks for the postings though folks, it’s my money and i’m keeping it ! :
October 2nd, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Yaaa….First thing it asks is how would you like to be paid? That screamed scam, so I googled it and low and behold…scammeroony-doony. Cheers for the post!
September 29th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
I saw a link to this thing through Facebook and knew it was a scam right away. The site it was showing “reviews” and the article on was made to look like a news stations site. Then when you go to exit the site it gives u a popup trying to get you to stay. A new company wouldn’t bother putting that popup into there website for a simple article, but a company trying to get you to buy it would… Also when I went to go to the websites homepage, it brought you back to the article and the only other news on the site was this one program.
Also when it said there where only two days left I knew 100% it was a scam because there is no way I just happened to see the site with only two days left. If people found a way to make the amount of money they say you can, for such a little amount of time and effort. They wouldn’t be telling other people about it trying to get them in on it, that would cause them to lose money since other people would be taking away from what they could make.
September 28th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
I’m panicking a little now because I got caught with something like this before & i have bloody paid & fallen for it again. Looks like i will have to cancel after reading all the above reviews & contact my bank tomorrow to prevent further payments being sent!
Grrrrrrrr,
Jen.
September 28th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
I subscribed to this like an idiot paid the $1.95 then started getting phone calls which seemed strange. I did a search and found several places where I was told it was a scam.
Tried to cancel it with my bank but you can not complain until the $1.95 is taken from your account and then you have to complain and wait 31days. In the meantime they take a much larger payment out, after that if they try to take more out and they succeed the bank has to pay you back.
The thought of the larger payment coming out pissed me off so I went onto the website I had started to design and went to contacts and put a threatening email on there telling them if they took anymore money from account I would go on to every forum I could and post as many times as I can warning people this was a scam. If they just stopped taking payment I would forget about it and not write on forums. Within 24hrs my account was canceled in full.
Hope that helps
September 25th, 2010 at 8:59 pm

When I first read about this, my first question is how. How are people able to make this amount of money so easily? What are they doing and how does it work? Although not all companies explain in detail how they operate, most have something they point to indicate the type of business they do.
Any company who asks for financial information before explaining how their system works is bad news. The original advertorial I read definitely makes it seem like an amazing opportunity.
When I tried to go to the HICS site Google Chrome blocked my attempt *twice*. That’s when I know something is ‘up’.

This is going to be quite a copy and paste, but it is rather noteable:
” It is important to note that this site and the stories depicted above is to be used as an illustrative example of what some individuals have achieved with this/these products. This website, and any page on the website, is based loosely off a true story, but has been modified in multiple ways including, but not limited to: the story, the photos, and the comments. Thus, this blog, and any page on this website, are not to be taken literally or as a non-fiction story. This blog, and the results mentioned on this blog, although achievable for some, are not to be construed as the results that you may achieve on the same routine. I UNDERSTAND THIS WEBSITE IS ONLY ILLUSTRATIVE OF WHAT MIGHT BE ACHIEVABLE FROM USING THIS/THESE PRODUCTS, AND THAT THE STORY DEPICTED ABOVE IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY. This page receives compensation for clicks on or purchase of products featured on this site. ”
The above came from one of the pages about a single mum, that I clicked on, not to make some money, but because I am cynical and was interested to see to where it would lead. As expected a scam, but cleverly so – they even tell you its a scam! Just in very small writing, right at the bottom.

Hi everyone, it pays to check on these review sites. Is there anyone out there who is offering genuine opportunities? As they say if it looks to good its probabally a scam. just a few clicks saved a lot of money and grief.

Hi everyone,
I so nearly signed up for this scam!
I am easily taken in by things like this but I decided to do some research first before I committed to anything and I am sooooo glad I did!
Thanks for your feedback, it just saved me a lot of time and money.
It just goes to show that unfortunately “If something seems to good to be true then it probably is”
Oh well
Back to work!

Thanks for the review.
Normally reviews that have ‘scam’ in the headline go on to praise the program.
Yours was genuine and to the point.
I filled in my details on the site but first decided to check it out.
I’m glad that I did. You’ve saved me a lot of hassle.

something just told me this was a scam, im glad i followed my intuition. thanks everyone for the comments. ive just canceled my card through the bank after realizing how insane this scam really sounds and to hear people getting stung for £39.99. they certainly are not getting a penny from me.
September 9th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Thanks for the postings everyone – I almost put my credit card number in then decided to google the company first. Cheers!

Hi all,
Thank you all for the information provided in this blog. I nearly fell for it. Once again thank you so much for all the postings…:)))
September 7th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Thank god i did not fall for this scam….i filled in “where do you want us to send your check” section but once i got to the credit card part i had a pause and decided to search and see if it was true or a scam. Thanks everyone for talking the time and write up your stories it has saved a lot of people.
TIA

I am so glad I thought to look up the website on google to check for scams before I entered my credit card details BUT…….. I had already entered my personal details in to the first page. Will this mean they will send me invoices or inundate my mailbox with trash about their product?
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:58 am
Just an add on. My girlfriend just found this site and asked me, then I found this site.
There’s a bit on the website that says free trial end tomorrow (my girl was tempted), I entered with fake details to get to the next step and what d’ya get… enter bank details. If the offers too good to be true – It’s not true!!
Thanks for the warning.

I just came across the Home Income site and have my credit card ready. thank you all for the above warning. Obviously these scam artists are going to try more ways to rob people. If only people would be honest with themselves.

Oh how happy am I today! Stumbled across this site having read the alleged newspaper article exclaiming that a housewife is earning loads working from home. Got suspicious when ‘her article’ did not reveal How. Then of course there are the seemingly ‘genuine’ testimonials which, as soon as you click on them take you straight to the site page to sign up and give your account details for them to ‘send your cheque’. Of course it’s a scam, what else could it be. Thank goodness I’ve learned to check things out first.

One other thing about the cancellation phone number. When I used to work for BT, we didn’t allow calls to get to 888 numbers in North America, so unless they changed that you might not be able to call them anyway. Didn’t like it when I tried to follow the links on some of the ‘stories’ and they all went to the ‘rush my order’ screen, and anyone who asks for credit card details before really saying what they are providing has to be suspicious.
August 30th, 2010 at 5:14 am
I put my card details in and hit ‘send’ then thought to check the bulletin boards…. oops, it’s a scam… what to do? call your bank helpline, they will block your card. then send a new one with new numbers. takes a week. fixed. you would be advised to have a separate debit account for online payments keeping only as little as you need in it, topping it up online as necessary. then only the card for this account is blocked. not your regular everyday card.
August 29th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Yes – I too also nearly fell for this. Glad I always look around on the net first before I sign up for things. I was suspicious when I realized we had to provide our details under the “Where do you want us to send your checks” section, which just seems to hope you’re blinded by a desire for money. Anyway, thanks very much on the info.
August 28th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Just here to say thanks for the warnings and reviews. I almost fell for it, but I decided to check out some blogs or reviews on it first.
August 21st, 2010 at 2:31 am
Scam!
August 14th, 2010 at 2:46 am
HI,
I WAS TAKEN IN BY A SIMILAR SCAM SOME TIME AGO.I GOT MY MONEY BACK BY INUNDATING THEM WITH EMAILS,OVER 200 TO BE EXACT.THEY WILL KEEP TAKING THE MONTHLY CHARGE.
YOU COULD ALSO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY OR BANK,AND TELL THEM THIS IS A FRAUD AND STOP ANY FUTURE PAYMENTS TO THEM.
HOPE THIS HELPS

I paid the £1.99 and decided that I didn’t want to carry on with the company. A gentleman did ring and I told them that I was not intersested and didn’t want anything more to do with them. To then find out I have been charged £38.95. I saw nothing of this fee and was not expecting any money been taken from my account.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:52 am
i asked for details of this system advertised “professional” too and been asked to pay a fee of £1.99 but then further £38.95 have been taken from my account without my permission. i have been contacted by a lady who said she will call me in 5 min but never did. please help!!!
August 5th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I asked for details of this system advertised in great detail on a “Professional” looking website being led to believe that all it would cost for the information was £1.99, which having ordered the information
was taken form my bank account by recipient “HBIAcademy.Com” I received NOTHING further but to my dismay and disbelief I see they have also taken a further£38.95 from my account on 04/06/2010 without my
permission please advise who I can contact regarding this theft and internet fraud. I did receive a phone call from an American gentleman but did tell him I was NOT interested in progressing anything further.
