Really, after you supply info on the website, you get a page that says "Well, firstly, I must tell you that this is the One and Only time you will ever see this page. Seriously, we've put some fancy code on here that won't let you ever see this page again, if you try and come back later it'll be gone, don't test it because once ya leave ya can't come back!"
Firstly? "some fancy code?" Once "ya" leave?
" Please don't make the mistake of testing Mary on this because they have "hard coded" this page with cutting edge technology to make sure each of my members can only see one time so it is fair to everyone."
Cutting edge technology? Fair to everyone! Don't make me laugh! All you have to do is add the page to your favorites and go back to it any time, or save the URL! These con artists need to be found and thrown in jail

I just got off the phone from these guys about an hour ago and was seriously thinking of joining until I read these comments and confirm the skeptism I had. Fortunately, being a salesman by trade I never part with any money until I've fully checked a business out. They are good salesman and obviously have to be and I can see why some people would sign up immediately. But, any company who says I'll do it for $700 but you have to sign up today because tomorrow it'll be $894 smells a bit fishy to me. Today they offered me 3 packages (1) Silver package for $299 (2) Gold package for $399 and (3) Platinum package for $499 with another possibility of a further package on top of one of these 3 called the executive media package for $395. So it would cost $894 for their top package with promises of ALL YOUR MONIES BACK WITHIN A MONTH IF YOU COMPLETE THE 14 POINT CHECKLIST. Yes, you read correctly that they are offering all your upfront monies back. This to anyone is a no brainer. Who wouldn't pay $894 do a 14 point checklist, recieve 2 free websites, be able to get personal service from one of their mentors and get all your money back. When this guy thought he had me (closing hard and fast) I said I need to get the money and asked for him to verify all that we'd discussed by e-mail. He said he couldn't do that because of data protection and that the offer would be different tomorrow. What a load of BS and proof number 2 that this has to be a scam. My money is staying in my pocket.

You might have to do lots of research before getting into this. This looks like good idea. but research required.

I purchased their Traffic Program in March 2007 for 15,000 hits to my affiliate pages at a cost of $2,795.
However after running the program twice I have earned $50 which I may have earned from my promotions, they can track the hits but unfortunately not where from.
My impression is the people who are succeeding are doing so through their own efforts. I do not believe the GCFN Traffic program is effective and the conversion rates are appalling if their Traffic program is delivering the results they are claiming.

I just recently got talked into buying the program by a very slick liar. It was a weak moment. I did not spend any extra money for the Ultimate Traffic Program or any of those things, because I read so much about it not really being effective. Thank god for that. They can get you a million people to your web site - it doesn't mean they'll buy anything. Especially now, when the work-at-home programs are starting to get very bad press. I have heard several reports on the evening news during the past few months which warned people against joining these things. Now whether GCFN is a scam or not, they will be grouped in with the scams and this will make it a harder sell. I am actually very sorry I joined. I've done some real soul searching about this whole work-at-home thing, and what I believe is that the market is now so saturated with this stuff that it's probably not possible to make very much money, if any at all. Example: I bought new domain names for my websites, and then placed a whole bunch of free online ads. I received a deluge of responses in my email box (a new email I set up just for this). Well, every single one of those emails, EVERY SINGLE ONE was to tell me that they have a better program to sell and I should try theirs. This is proof that the market is becoming too saturated. Everybody and their Aunt Sadie is now selling a work-at-home program. Imagine what it will be like in a few years. Remember the dot com bubble? Well, that's what we have here. I don't really think GCFN is a scam, they're a real company, just not an honest one. Here's an example of some of their sample ads that they suggest you use: "2000% Internet Profits," "Insane Internet Profits," "Earn $300 per Hour Online," "Put Cash in your Pocket in 30 Days or Less," "Simple Internet System Puts Cash in Your Pocket Quick." These are exactly the selling tactics that are turning people off. Also, if you don't have deep pockets, this is not for you. Once they find out you're not going for the big bucks, you get passed on to someone else, a "media coach" who I guess coaches the "poor" folks. What chance do I have of competing with all of those who went for the $$$$$$$? None, really. And sadly, even the ones who invested big money in this aren't really doing well. It's quite obvious when you look at the testimonials. All of the testimonials are from people who have been in the program for about 2-4 weeks. How can you write a testimonial without knowing if the system will work for you or not? How phony can you be! By the way, one of the first steps they ask you to do when they send the package is to write a testimonial and send it to them. Bull! Where are the long-term success stories? Why are there no testimonials from people who have been doing this for1, 2 years? Probably because there are none left. This is a pyramid scheme. They are not illegal, but they eventually collapse. And when you're at the bottom, which you would be if you joined at this late date, there's not much left for you. Most people are either selling their own scheme, or they just won't touch these things with a ten foot pole. Sure, the ones who got in early are laughing their way to the bank. But at this point, their making money on the backs of middle class people who cannot afford to lose what little they have. Pardon me if I'm not amused by this. The good news is, I'm cured. I'm giving up on my search for an internet business. There's just too much trash out there. Too many used car salesmen. You don't know who to trust. As far as getting back my initial fee from GCFN, what's the point? They have a 14 point checklist for you to complete in order to get your money back (oh, and become a Certified Media Placement Specialist (useless). Completing this list would probably cost more than what the fee was. There's the catch. Good thinkin' GCFN. So I'm just going to accept the loss, be thankful that I didn't spend more, and continue looking for what's right for me. The problem with GCFN is that they have no real product or service to sell. They're just getting you to get more people to sign up - the store website is just to make it look like you're actually selling something other than their pyramid scheme. I am finding it too difficult to try and sell this to others because it's just so empty. That's why it won't last. Remember the internet billionaires? Those kids setting up dot com businesses in their garages and making millions - but not actually having any product or service to sell? And in the end, the bubble burst for them. It will for these people too. Except they do get to keep all their "stolen" money.
Obviously, my advice is ...... STAY AWAY.
Plus, they end every conversation by saying "make it a great day!" It's just so cultish.

Watch out your going to be dealing with some real slick operators. I joined for around $800 after receiving my manual I was instructed to contact a level one coach. Well guess what he turned out to be slicker than a used car salesperson doing info commericals. He just couldn't understand why I wouldn't spend thousands of dollars to get targeted traffic to the websites. Than I got a call from a second coach who told me I was a real dummy not to spend the money. I quickly told him where he could go.
After getting into the manual I began to find referances to websites that no longer existed. The list of free advertising sites had a lot of dead links and lot that weren't free. I ask a webmaster to take a look at the sites and he told me to get out as quickly as possible.
Well to make a long story short I ask for my money back and after much verbal abuse taken and some given I did get a refund for all but a 15% restocking fee, guess they needed my out dated manual for the next mark. My advice run and hide if contacted by these folks.

I have been contacted by Global Cash Flow Network and we have come to an amicable solution.
It appears they are an ethical organization and are have the best interests of their clients and good client relations in mind in their dealings.

O no....after reading all the posts....i feel i am in deep trouble. I invested $5000...buying the you guys so called "not effective" traffic program.... I joined in May..now its June, and I earned a whole lum sum of $60.
I might as well be the stupidest person on earth without doing research before buying to their business.
I almost got into buying the $5000 dan krushell's mentorship program....at least I was smart enough to not get into that....
Oh no....I really need to find a way to earn that back..... and back to the starting point.....donno how to...

I've been in the marketing/advertising/promo business for more than 30 years, and I've seen all manner of scams and come-ons. But even I was tempted by the GCFN/CMP pitch.
However, my professional antennae kept vibrating, so I Googled "Global Cash Flow Network" and wound up here. As always, I'm glad I followed my instincts.
Yes, GFCN looks, smells, and reads like a scam -- an MLM scam, no less...because I suspect that the lion's share of money being made by those CMPs is coming from roping in other CMPs underneath them.
Three things tipped me off: 1) the surplussage of pitch words (a dozen "you're almost there but time is running out" emails?!?), 2) how quickly the intial ad word "free" vanished, and 3) the obfuscation of the price(s). Something for all of you to keep in mind when you see another too-good-to-be-true road-to-instant-riches "opportunities."
Sorry to hear the horror stories of those who fell for this con.

Thanks to all of you. I spoke to these guys for an hour this evening. Like some others, I won't plunk down my money on a whim, but they do make a strong case. Especially the idea that the $300 or $400 or $500, whichever level you choose, will be the entire outlay. And that you'll get that back after you've gone through their training. Yes, it all sounded slick. But again, thank you for keeping me out of a bad situation.

I have been with Global Cash Flow Network for about 2 weeks now. When I signed up to become CMPS (certified media placement specialist) all I paid for the program was $300. They did't push me or even ask me if I wanted the "traffic system." From all the information that I recieved, I can see how this program can help anyone make money. The Free help that I recieve 24/7 has helped me alot. I have only recieved a $10 check so far so we'll see how it goes, it's still early in the process.

I have been with GCFN since December of 2007. I have always been quite naive. I grew up in the country, went to a one-room schoolhouse, and tend to believe that people are honest. So, after taking the leap and spending the first $300 plus to get the basics, I called to talk to my level 1 'coach' as instructed. That, in fact, is your first instruction. That 'coach', it turns out was a very slick salesman. By the way, they send you that first $10.00 check right away to make you think that you are really on to something. That this is the real thing. My 'coach' saw me coming. He talked about my current debt situation. Did I like my job? Well, who the hell does? He talked to me for about an hour. He found a way to drain the last $4500.00 from my already strained credit cards. It took a couple of tries, but he pulled it off. He made it sound like this was just a walk in the park. They had done all of the legwork, and this was just a formality. God, I am a sucker. He even referred to the Bible. So, I thinking that this guy can't possibly be dishonest. Well, it's now 9 months later, and I have made a whopping $110.00. I have spent every waking hour that I am not at work, writing ads and articles to try to convince people to sign up for something that I no longer believe in. I have had weekly consultations with a VIP coach for the last few months. Even after all of this time, and the countless hours and money I spent trying to justify to myself the $5,000.00 that is now in collections, I have had only 4 prospects. Two of which were my co-workers; one from before I spent the extra $4500.00, and only one after. If this 'Ultimate Traffic System' is actually marketing 'targeted customers', why, after spending another $100.00 in postage to send out my postcards, and them swamping me website with 20,000 'targeted customers' did I only get 1 prospect?
I made a decision this weekend, that I will share with Jan from GCFN during our weekly call tomorrow to stop. I will no longer waste my time and money to promote a business that does not deliver on its' promises.
I am not deluded enough to think that they might refund any of my money. I guess that I will just look at this as a lesson learned. The worst part is that it has changed my view of mankind. I live in a town of about 3,000 people. We don't lock our doors, we know each other, and if someone tells you they are going to do something, you can trust that. Welcome to the World Wide Web.

I actually work for them and I find it to be a good business. I get checks in the mail on a weekly basis from them. At 1st I was skeptical but I gave them a try and what I really like is the fact that they are very helpful. You cn call them if you get stuck or need help with anything.

I've been with GCFN for 3 months. Bought the basic package & then up one.Yes, they are available to help when you call, which is a big plus to them, and they do have a good team of people to work with them and train us. I have been spending every spare moment on this and if it's going to be months before a return then it's too hard. The thing is a huge number of people want to give up their job. There must be a legitimate way to make money online. Even if it's not squilions, just good money would be nice, forget the telephone numbers B.S.

Hi, my name's Cilantro Fournier, yes I know it's an unusual first name, but you have to admit once you hear it, you don't easily forget it. LOL Now numerous other people started thinking outside the box and giving their children unique names like "Apple", "Heaven Rain", "Devon Rose", etc. My parents were just ahead of the times when they named me or perhaps they just wanted a valid reason to call me Cilly. Well, I'm not really silly � I'm actually extremely smart, if I wasn't I would never have done the research I did prior to getting involved with Global Cash Flow Network, which I'm now going to share with you.
Global Cash Flow Network has a 5 star rating and is ranked number one for legitimate work from home programs. They also received a positive rating from Rip-Off Report. They also made a sincere commitment to resolve all customer complaints.
You've heard the saying "You can't please all the people, all the time"? Well, that's exceptionally true in business, especially when you have a large operation. Global Cash Flow Network has 100 staff members and opened a new 9,000 square foot training facility in late October 2007. They have over 15,000 clients/students and receive over 5,000 request per week for information. They make no promises that you will get rich quick, in fact they make no pledge that you will make money, but they do say the potential is there and it's up to you how quickly you get started. BTW, they offer a 12 month guarantee that if you didn't make the funds you expected you will get your money refunded. In order to receive this refund you must prove that you completed the 14 step check list. This is not just a business you are buying into � they also provides complete training to help you learn how to operate your business. LOL if you follow the directions, they will refund the cost of your program, minus shipping and handling and the income you acquire in the 12 mouths you were in the program.
Global Cash Flow Network receives less than one complaint a year for approximately every 1,047 students. How many other work from home company's can say the same or any other business?
The majority of complaints are from clients/students that weren't committed to completing the Program, didn't start making as much money as they thought, didn't read the fine print to know what their obligations were, and didn't follow the proper procedures outlined in their guarantee. But, regardless, Mary Gersten made a commitment to provide outstanding customer service so you can feel confident and secure dealing with them.
I joined Global Cash Flow Network in late September 2008 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was so excited when I discovered Global Cash Flow Network, a legitimate work from home company. Most of my life I've been living pay cheque to pay cheque, putting a little aside for my retirement. Than something totally unexpected happened, I was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. The good news it's controllable, the bad news, I was going to have to undergo radiation and chemo treatments every few years for the rest of my life. As you can imagine, I had to make some drastic changes in my life that impacted my ability to do the jobs that kept a roof over my head and the money I had put away for my future I had to use to cover my increasing medical expenses. I was close to hitting rock bottom, stressed out and didn't have a clue what I could do to help myself. Fortunately, Global Cash Flow Network provided the answer I was frantically searching for. Not only did they help me open my own business I could work from home, they provide hands on training so I can become a Certified Media Placement Specialist. Their staff works diligently with me to ensure I am doing everything possible to succeed. Whenever I have a question, I just have to call and speak with a my advisor � no automated response to leave a message, a real live person! How often does that happen in this day and age? Not only do they provide an intensive training manual, access to speak with a live representative, they also supply you with numerous FREE bonus that are very beneficial to helping you succeed. In addition, they have several other programs available that compliment your original course that can help you create the income you desire. There is no obligation to purchase them, but I would highly recommend that you do take advantage of them.
I love the Guaranteed Traffic Advertising Program. This program directs traffic to your sites and as you know the more people that visit your site, the better your changes are of making money. It also provides you with pre-printed post card with all YOUR information on them and contact labels from people that have requested information on contacting them.
They also have an Executive Media Package that gives you many benefits to help Triple Your Opportunity to Make Money. Radio/Audio Link on your sites, Magnetic Client Catcher and Auto-Contactor and your own 1-800 number. Your 1-800 number and sites are on the Postcards if you've purchased the Guaranteed Traffic Advertising Program.
Thanks to them, I am no longer stressed out, I'm not locked into a 9 to 5 position, and I can work on my terms. And, best of all I don't have to worry about my finances when it comes to my medical treatments. What a relief to have that stress eliminated!!!
Thank you for reading this, I hope you will find my experience beneficial to you and how it could ad some clarity on this topic. Oh BTW, I've already received one cheque from them.

Hi, I have to agree with thekb. These people do have a product that delivers what they say. Right up front they tell you this is not a get rich quick scheme. What they are giving you is a course in internet marketing with their product as a project so you can learn. I have only invested in the basic and executive packages and I'm not sure I would suggest going any further than that until you are comfortable. I have really enjoyed the work and find the lessons invaluable. Yes you can go out and learn all about this stuff for free somewhere on the web but the vast amount of information and the huge number of places to get distracted make for a long learning period. Joining Global Cash Flow Network is akin to paying tuition for a college course as opposed to doing all your studying on your own at the library. They condense and streamline the info for you and have many people who know what they are talking about to help you out. I started looking into internet marketing about 2 years ago and found all the information confusing and overwhelming. But when I started with GCFN it took only weeks to learn what I needed (Though I think the learning never stops in this field). What they teach you is not just for their company. I now have 3 different websites promoting many different things. Again they are not selling a get rich quick scheme but I personally have found the lessons invaluable. Good luck with whichever choice you make. Cherie
