Quick Profit Kit Reviews – Is QuickProfitKit.com
Legit or a Scam?
I just ran across an ad for Quick Profit Kit (quickprofitkit.com) and I must say that as far as make money from Google kits go this one stands alone. It’s clear that the owners of the site have heeded FTC and Google warnings to restrain claims and associations made in their sales pitch, but is that really enough to separate them from the rest of the Google scams?
These so called Google kits have inflicted so much damage on the public that the FTC had to issue new guidelines for all internet marketers to follow. And because these scammers were using Google’s name to deceive consumers the search engine giant was forced to step in with a lawsuit of their own.
So where and how does the Quick Profit Kit fit in? For starters, they’re using the exact same template to sell their information product as the hundreds of scammers who were breaking the law. The only difference being some minor changes in wording for compliance purposes.
For instance instead of saying “as seen on NBC, CNN, and Yahoo!…” they’re saying “This type of product has been featured on NBC, CNN, and Yahoo!…” also to avoid complications from Google they say “Quick Profit Kit using Google as opposed to implying that they’re offering a job working for Google.
In addition to these minor changes, which some might argue is just an exercise in semantics; they cite a long list of infractions perpetrated by their scammy competitors which they abstain from. Ironically, the Quick Profit Kit is just as guilty as the companies they lambaste.
So is the Quick Profit Kit Different or a Scam like the Rest?
While they do make an effort to comply with new internet marketing regulations and even set strict guidelines for their affiliates it’s hard to commend them for these actions. Rest assured everything that they do is for their own benefit not yours.
The reason they want to restrain their affiliates from making outlandish claims about their product is not to protect the consumer but simply because as part of the new FTC guidelines they can be held accountable for the actions of their affiliates.
Likewise they don’t care about making sure that you don’t get the wrong idea about their product, all the changes they’ve made to the wording in their pitch are done simply to keep them from being sued for false advertising.
The real reason why I don’t think the Quick Profit Kit is any different from their scam competitors is because despite all the “good faith” changes they didn’t address the main problem with these Google kits, and that’s the negative option billing practice.
They offer you the kit for a $2.95 trial but if you read the fine print you’ll see that you have only 2 days to decide if you want to keep it. Afterwards you’ll be charged a whopping $79.86 for every month that you don’t cancel.
Considering that they’re selling information on how to use Google which can be found for much cheaper if not for free this is a huge rip-off. Moreover, if they were as confident in their product as they claim to be then they’d let you try it out for more than just the unreasonable two days before charging you the full amount.
If you signed up for the kit without reading the fine print you can call this number to cancel, (866)-451-4235.
Another red flag that I noticed is that there seems to be a discrepancy of where the company behind the Quick Profit Kit is located. The domain, quickprofitkit.com is registered to:
983 Washington Avenue, Los Angeles, CAbut on their contact page they list the address a:
Farend Services Limited 22100 E. 26th Ave. #100, Aurora, CO 80019which is fine except that on their false advertising page they list the address as:
Farend Services Limited3 Athinodorou Street 2025 Dasoupoli Strovolos, Nicosia, Cyprus
Which is very worrisome as some of the most notorious scams have come out of the country of Cyprus, it also means greater difficulty in getting your money back.

This is an absolutely outrageous outfit. I am in the UK, a struggling single mother and I have been ripped off by this outfit. I canceled the membership but they still kept on taking the money. I paid on my credit card but probably no way of getting it back because I didn’t notice the terms.

I actually got a charge from this site it showed up in my Paypal account paying for it, (using their “create a card” feature works great for any charge backs for false companies) but it originated from Clickbank which when I called them to cancel the charge I simply said I didn’t order it in the first place, and didn’t recognize the name, there were 2 charges from this company, and they said they would simply reverse the charge and it would show up in my paypal account within 48 hours. No questions asked.
The Paypal feature of creating a credit card is immeasurably useful, you can create a card that can be used once, or multiple times, for any online purchases. If you are skeptical in anyway about the legitimacy of a company I would highly recommend using this feature, because if the company doesn’t return your money, within 45 days you can open a dispute through Paypal and they will get your money back. If you have returned a product or it’s a scam company it comes in really handy, not only do you not give out your credit card number, or bank account number, but you can easily get your money back too.
I don’t know if this company is or isn’t a scam, I just know I didn’t purchase it, but because it was through Clickbank, I was able to get my money back. I hope this helps some of you out there.
