My husband and I tried this program about a month ago. It sounded good in the beginning, but then they were asking us for $5,000-$8,000 to set up a website for us. When we expressed a lot of concern over such a substantial ammount, the representative became very rude, practically calling us idiots, and saying that we had more than one credit card so the ammount shouldn't matter! We quickly cancelled the program after that. Two days later I called requesting a refund, the operator that I spoke to said that I would receive my money within 5-7 business days. Sure enough, a week later the money was posted to my account. However, I have read on other forums that many people were not able to get their money back. Also, the supposed rebate processing can be found on google for free, the website we were directed to was paydotcom.com. All it is, is an affiliate group and much more trouble than it's worth. If you haven't pruchased it yet, please do not, as you may not be able to get your money back.

This scam is one of many put out over the years by the same man. This disgrace of a human being is Tom Bell. He is a known scammer and spammer:
http://spamnation.info/go/domain/offerlab.com
His latest scam is this processathome.com thing.
Here's a few of his previous scams...
Name Domain Count
Offerlab LLC offerlab.com 0
E Z Data Entry Careers ezdataentrycareers.com 0
Make Cash by Typing! makecashbytyping.com 0
Net Marketing Wizards netmarketingwizards.com 0
OfferLab LLC offerlab.us 0
OfferLab LLC offerlabmail.com 0

Today I Learn todayilearn.com 0
Type Yourself Rich typeyourselfrich.net 0
Typing For Dollars! typing4dollars.com 2
Typing for Dollars! typing4dollars.net 2
Zoolearn zoolearn.com 0
He got his start by selling government grant books on the internet in the early 2000's.
The first time I met Tom Bell was at an event he spoke at a long time ago. He was selling a high priced coaching program to market products online using CPA networks, which essentially are advertising networks that he uses to send massive email to his scams.
At the time, I didn't know any better and I signed up for his program and was very disappointed when I basically signed up for a few group phone calls for several thousand dollars. The one on one coaching was never delivered and the calls ended abruptly midstream for reasons that still aren't clear to me. His customer support is non-existent and my numerous emails went unanswered.

STAY AWAY FROM THAT SITE!!!!!!! It is a faud!! My husband and I signed on for it. . We went on the Better Business Bureau's website to check its crediability, it has the lowest posible rating that the bbb can give. We requested a refund from the site all we've gotten is a bunch of bad promises and fake numbers that when you call them a second time the number is disconnected. We been trying to get our money back for that past two months so WARNING TO ALLL WHO READ THIS STAY AWAY FROM THAT FAKE SITE THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!!

It's a scam. Do NOT invest into this program. I bought it and reviewed it for the sole purpose of reviewing. You can see the reports about online money making home business scams by searching those keywords out pretty easily on google or other search engines. Something I HIGHLY suggest to ANYONE that has considered buying a home based money making scam they believe to be legit. The processathome website falsely advertises how you can process rebates from home. First the website ad claims that...
"Companies Are Desperate For People Like You To Independently Process These Rebates From Home!"...,
and follows up with the claim that...,
"This is the only certified program in the world for rebate processing, and over 1,000 people world-wide have been certified through this program, now making the money of their dreams by processing rebates from home"...
"This program has been raved about by many in the work at home industry, and has recently been rated the #1 work at home program in America"...
and pay attention to this wild claim picked right from the website ad
..."First, you receive access to a comprehensive database of 11,000+ companies you can process rebates for! That's a lot of companies to choose from, which is great because you can never run out of rebates to process...and...you're sure to find a position you'll be very happy in!
Plus, I help you select the best company for you to process rebates for, so don't worry about being overwhelmed by the many choices! There are a lot to choose from and I help ensure you pick the best one(s) for you.
To do so, you'll get a master list of the companies that offer the highest pay for processing rebates. You'll also get constant real time updates of the companies offering the highest pay per rebate processed, so you can always be sure of making maximum money in minimum time!
And by enrolling in my certification program... you are GUARANTEED an immediate position as a rebate processor. You can even have multiple placements with different companies if you choose."...
Sounds Exciting doesn't it!?!!
It's a rip off. You are not given any of the promises that are advertised such as a rebate processor's job by some company. You are in fact rather given instructions to set up your clickbank and paydotcom accounts, choose digital ebooks etc to sell for a commission and then offer a rebate for these products to increase your sells from the ads YOU yourself have to spend money trying to get sells from. Affiliate marketing is a very tough industry to be successful in and the majority of those that get involved end up losing more money then they generate in selling products they pay to advertise for.
Remember the 100% money back guarantee this website offers? We tested it out. It required almost a week of 6 emails requesting a refund which were responded to with refusals to do so but instead offering assistance and help in the form of links to freeclassifiedads type websites where you can get started advertising the garbage you were prompted to sell. The product promised a weekly course you are to follow. Week 2 all we were left reviewing was the start up package and beat-around-the-bush email responses that asked for help.
Here's what you are promised and what you get in reality
Guaranteed immediate placement as a rebate processor (Value: Priceless)... Reality: Information on how to get started with paydotcom and clickbank which everyone already knows how to do. THIS is your rebate processor position! You have just placed YOURSELF into the position to advertise products for a commission and then offer a rebate... worthless
Lifetime access to the Home Rebate Processor Members Area with dozens of resources, and more added all the time (Value: $997)...Reality: more useful information about other area's you can place ads at such as google adwords, yahoo, classified ads, banners email spam campaigns etc etc etc. Heres a hint: google search free ads.. there I saved you $997 dollars
The website also uses those high pressure sells tactics such as "hurry folks, positions are filling fast!" and "sorry this may be the last day" ...these are auto refreshed daily and are no more then a cheap advertising tactic that marketers use for click through to pressure a sell. Reality: You have PLENTY of time to throw your money away!!! They are more then happy to take your $197 dollars at any time you wish!

Ok people I too have thought about taking the bait but didn't. I was told by my tax guy that most people also don't know that when you work from home even if it's on the internet that when you do get paid that the taxes are not taken out.(If it's a legit company and they allow you to work from home then they usually take out the taxes before they pay you.) You have to keep track of the your wages and taxes. You also have to fill out special tax papers for working at home. You also should open a seperate account to put your taxes in it so that when tax time comes around you will have the money to pay when it's time. He said it's really a pain in the neck. I think that the rebate process is so attractive is because you can do it from home and you don't have to type 40 -100 words a minute to do the job and it can be done at your own pace. It's usually a great opporunity for the disabled, senior citizens, and stay at home moms or dads. If there are real honest jobs like this on the internet then it's ashame because there are so many bad companies out there making it bad for the good ones and they are hard to find. If someone find a true real one let me know. I was in two automobile accidents in 8 months and finding work I can do is very hard with my injuries.

I tried to close the window so I could research the website and see what other people had to say. A chat window appeared and the person on the other end kept insisting I try the program - even offered a $150 consultation for free if I would sign up NOW!!
I have been burned before and for each question I asked, she replied with stock answers. BEWARE!!!

I thought it sounded like a great idea, I tried it for a few days and the system was not user friendly and it took alot longer than they said to process 1 file. I had the support team help me but they were not patient and I explained that I only wanted to work a couple of hours a day and that the way the system was that was not possible so I wanted a refund. It took me 29 days to get them to give me a confirmation # because they just kept telling me it will make you alot of money. Finally I had my attorney call them and inform them they were being reported for internet fraud and theft and then they cancelled my account. They said it will take 5 business days so he told them that on the 6th day if it is not credited to my account he will go ahead and file the papers. WARNING STAY CLEAR AND MAKE SURE YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THE MONEY.

Processing and data entry is something that you can do, but be careful on what company you do that for. I, personally don't know anyone who's made a great living doing that. If you're looking for something to give you a little cash, sure, do something like that. I didn't want a little extra cash, I wanted a huge financial future. The home based business I started is giving me that. Ask yurself, do you want something that will just get you by, or do you want to be financially free?
To your massive success,
Michelle

When looking for any homebased business, be sure that it's legit and something that you really want to do. There are so many businesses out there that you really can make a huge living and it's not a scam. I personally think that I found the best company out there for me. 100% legit, 100% training and always 100% support. Failure is not an option in my book or theirs. Good luck on what ever you do in your home business.
To your massive success,
Michelle

Please keep in mind that there are so many great home businesses out there. For one, will not say something bad about another company unless I've tried it, and I knew for a fact that it was a scam. Keep your eyes open. The right homebased company will come and it will be a right fit for you. Keep up posted! I wish you many years of great success.
To your massive success,
Michelle

I made the mistake of paying the $197 and got burned. After the first couple of weeks they stopped sending me the material and their support team doesn't even know the system so they can't help you if you have a question. Don't get burned.

Thank you everyone for posting their stories. I pretty much knew this was a scam when I came across the cost, but I wanted just a bit more information so I came here. I'm sorry to all those who got caught up in this scam.
I got that chat window as well and typed "I don't deal with scammers." I doubt though that it's a "live" chat or that they care what I say.

hikari namida: $5,000-$8,000 to set up a website for us
Omg... *faint*
It was probably just some template they already had waiting in the wings that would cost them next to nothing to set up for you...

I am one more deceived person for Angel Stevens, about 5 weeks ago I purchased the program for $197.00, and and let me tell you what a big disappointment and needless to say a waste of time and money it was.
I looked at my purchase receipt and there is a link to request the money back, and I send an e-mail outlining the false claim and misleading program they have, and requested my money back, and in 5 minutes I received an e-mail from PayPal that the money had been refunded.
For those that already purchased the program and used "eSellerate" to paid for it check your receipt and look for the section:
"REFUND SUPPORT" and send them an e-mail requesting a refund, and tell them what you think about it, that is what I did.
Remember to include the following
email address, customer name and order number (the number will start with ST) that was used to place the order.
Stay, stay away from this fraud. Good luck to all.

I feel bad for all of you who got burned. What I'd like to know from you now is, what have you learned from your experience and what would you have done differently if you could turn the clock back? Would you have taken more time to evaluate the opportunity? Or do you feel you did a thorough enough investigation? Was there any particular reason why you signed up other than because you really liked the concept? Did you have any doubt about the business at all and signed up anyway? What were the factors that influenced you to say yes to this opportunity?

Wow, sorry to hear about all the people that got ripped off.
I always go by one rule...
If you have to pay to get work, its most likely a scam.

I joined yesterday, but did not feel that it was a good mix for me after I read through all of the start up info. I emailed for a refund, but after reading what was posted above, I got nervous and called the company. It was answered right away and I was helped and a refund was issued. SO this company was not for me, but they issued me a refund with no questions asked, so in my book they are ok.

DO NOT TRY THIS COMPANY!!
IT IS A SCAM AND ONCE YOU PROVIDED YOUR INFORMATION THEY WILL CONTINUING TO BOTHER YOU, NEVER END~
I learned it a hard way, I tried it and I had not get involve yet but paid the $197 fee then I read information from this site, thanks everyone who posted this forum.
After read these forums I contacted my credit card company and deputed the charge and block this company for further charges, my credit card company helps me to get the refund back.
Even though I got my refund back in the hassle way. I still got plenty of calls and emails..
Do not try it if you have not.
Their so call company is full of bull shits
I am going to report them with BBB and I advise you or others to do the same.

Whenever I see a program expecting Money from you Upfront, I immediately shy away.
There are other ways if you're a motivated and committed individual, I think you can accomplish anything.

Dear Mommy,
1. You put way too much toothpaste on my boring old tooth brush. Dentists recommend just a pea-sized amount for children under seven.
2. It would be interesting to see how much plaque I have on my teeth. You can buy some plaque disclosing tablets (available from chemists) which will turn my mouth dark blue in areas where there's plaque. That will show me where to brush more.
3. A tooth timer would be cool. They come in various shapes such as ballerinas and rockets.
4. And how about a tooth tune! It's a toothbrush with a music chip inside of it. When you brush your teeth the music plays through your teeth so you hear the music inside your head. It plays for two minutes and then you stop brushing.
5. I'd love it if you read me a story after I brush my teeth, too.
6. And if none of that works you could always try bribing me with chocolate.
Rob

A friend of mine was just asking me about this. Out of desperation he was ready to put out the $197 to get started with this program. I'm glad I found this forum. I have forwarded this to him, hopefully just in time.
Thanks

This does seem a little pricey and the reviews that I have read on this program have been fairly negative aside from the ones that are promoting it.

This is the number I called for my refund 1-800-381-7820, and although they tried to give me alot of trouble about the refund, they CLAIM that is should refund. I've already called my credit card company and told them I wanted to cancel this program and they are the ones that gave me the phone number to call them. Since my charge was still pending (I bought this program while very tired only las night) and only this morning did I do proper research. In the meantime I have also cancelled my card to make sure they do not have my information.
What is sad is that I'm almost positive I bought this program about 7 years back and was scammed then too only I didn't recognize it until I got into the "Member's Only" area and went "Oh no, not again."
