Rebate processor jobs are scams! You won't get paid to process rebates.

Hi, I certainly thought you were onto something with the”Bans sites”. Why have you digressed to an obvious waste of time such as Rebate Proccessor Jobs? I suspect your Bans site would become profitable if you explored and applied methods of promoting it. Herein lies the difference in making it and notmaking it. Mick

That’s what we do, Mick. We try stuff out and report it here. And the BANS review is still ongoing.

Thank -YOU—–YOU just saved a great deal of time and money
What do you know about Global Cash Flow Network?

Glad to hear it, Ron. Have you seen our “I was saved” total on the front page? It’s a count of the dollars our readers have not spent on junk after reading our reviews. How much were you going to spend?

No, we don’t know anything about Global Cash Flow Network. Just the name sounds fishy, though.

I wish that i would have come across this before the money was spent.

what about angel brooks with processing for blockbuster, home depot and the gap? do you know any thing about that processing?

I tried to buy this $197 prgrm 3x unsuccessfully because of the service they use to purchase the prgrm. Thank goodness too because I really do not have $200 to flush down the toilet. I decided to check the BBB on this company and they have 3 complaints that can’t be researched because the company wont respond. I still was going to spend the money (why, I don’t know)until I came across your site and found out why there were complaints with the BBB. Thank you, you saved me $197.

Michelle it just so happens we’re having a special sale on our book for only ~~$451~~, ~~$321~~, $196! The offer is good today only and will only last for the next seven seconds. So, buy now!

In all seriousness, glad we can help. I’d hate to know someone was scammed out of nearly $200. It’s disgusting what these people get away with.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND….
After futher looking into things an the rebate processing on the blockbuster with angel brooks, more research has found it to be angel stevens. THE LAST NAME WAS CHANGED. was it due to marriage or just a ploy to get someone to buy? even if her real name is angel? MAKES YOU THINK.

Brenda, we haven’t looked into “Angel Brooks” or Stevens or whatever “her” name is. (I guarantee you it’s neither of those.) I couldn’t find the site, actually. I found Angel Penbrook offering rebate processing secrets for $197. Could that be it? Maybe I’ll write up a review based only on the very large warning signs all over her site.

I’m excited, Michelle! Go treat yourself to dinner and a massage with the money. You’ll get a much better return on that investment.

Well, add me to your total saved for $197.00. Angela Penbrook was the name I found. Glad I researched a bit and found out that all is not as she would have me believe. Thank You so much for putting this info out there !!

this is the link that was given to me to register myself in the program: Link removed. Sorry Brenda, can’t have spam affiliate links floating around. -Steve

by the way if you are interested in knowing the type at home program is something simular instead of clickbank it uses paydotcom.com .food for thought. i have spent loads of money on these different programs and nothing to show for it but myself futher in debt.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I almost spent the $197 on Angela Penbrook’s rebate processing scam. I am so thankful that I decided to listen to my spirit and do a little investigating and I found you and your site. Keep up the good work. God knows I don’t have $200 dollars to spare or I wouldn’t be looking for another way to make income besides my regular job as a bookkeeper. God Bless you and the work you are doing in exposing those people out there who are exploiting the desperate people who are in need of supplementing there income because of a need.

I always say i will not pay money to make money and I was getting so desprate with money problems that i actually was considering paying the $197 dollars. Thank you so much for saving me from flushing what little money i have left for the week. cindy

I wrote a detailed Email explaining what rebate processing is, but apparently the owners of this site are afraid to let the truth be known. Basically you try free products, or spend $1-$5, and are paid $25-$150 for completing a rebate offer. You can also make over $2000 for refering others to do the same. I would explain in much greater detail, but I doubt they’ll allow this to be posted.

Jeru, your comments were picked up as spam. Why not just post the “greater details” instead of asking people to email you first?

@ Jeru: No, apparently you’re just paranoid. There’s no grand conspiracy to hide “the truth.” Maybe our spam filters picked up your email if it contained links? At any rate, we never saw it.

The rebate processing you describe is nothing like the program reviewed here, so don’t act like you have some magical rebate processing job that we’re trying to keep secret. Go ahead and explain what you’re doing in detail. No links, though.

The only link in the original post was my email, which I see you removed. And FYI to anyone else reading this, there was a sentence instructing people to contact me for greater detail about rebate processing. Thats what STEVE is refering to. Honestly, I thought maybe you took my original post off either because you don’t want you readers to be aware of the real rebate processing, or it was too much information in the first reply, so I shortened it. Anyway, the real rebate processing idustry works like this:

At the top you have major American & Canadian companies that pay Rebate Marketing sites to drive traffic to them, they in turn pay independent reps and companies to bring people to them to process rebate offers. I have no idea, what companies like Blockbuster, NetFlix, Stamps.com, Paypal, Disney, and several others pay the Rebate Marketing sites, but apparently its enough where they can in turn afford to pay companies like mine $250-$2500 for the rebates being processed. We in turn pay people anywhere from $25-$150 for each rebate that an individual processes. There are four major boards that the vast majority of rebate processing companies and indepdent reps, that will pay you $25-$150 for each rebate you process, can be found. The rebates consist of trying products on a Free Trial Basis, although you may have to pay a small fee for shipping & handling. When you become more experienced you can then collect the $250-$2500 and pay someone else the $25-$150 for processing the rebates. Realistic income in this business, with 40-50 hours of work per week, the propper training to maximize your speed and development, and all the neccesary tools (which should cost you no more than $200.00 total) is about 3K per month your first month, 5K your third month, and consistently 10K or above by the sixth. We created a program which allows a person to be trained properly for a cost of $95.00, we then give them (8) rebates for our company at the end of their training, (which is no longer than 5 hours) and we pay anywhere from $18-$50 for each of these rebates, which totals $228.00 paid. This covers their expense of training and puts money in their pocket, and teaches them everything they need to continue generating income in this industry.

To my knowledge, there is only one (1) other company that offers training on real rebate processing, and they don’t take you by the hand like we do. The other people in this industry make to much money processing rebates to care about selling programs or training others. We take the time to do it because its profitable, and it increases the size of our industry, which is good for us all in the long run. Angela Stevens, Angela Pembrook, Cindy Dalton, and all of the rest of these crooks, trying to pass off sales and marketing crap as rebate processing give our industry a bad name. I hate them as much as you do, it takes potentially productive rebate processors, and turns them into skeptics, or worse, completely turns them off on the idea. If the guys that run this show would let me post our Email, I would give all of you an opportunity to get started in the real rebate processing industry.

Steve,I am sorry I do not want to spam. That was not my intention. I thought it would be helpful to you in you research on the matter.

Jeru, If what you say is true then I know that i would surely be a person interested in more details. The problem I see here is that I do not know how you would get it to me or how I would be able to request it from you.

??????????????How can i get the information????????????????

Jeru, thanks for the additional details. We will be happy to post your email, and maybe even have you write a full review of “real” rebate processing jobs…when we’re convinced that that’s actually what you’re offering. Our readers are often desperate for at-home work, so we’re pretty strict about screening job offers. If you’re telling the truth, you won’t mind a few questions, I hope?

1. Does the training your company offers include instructions about affiliate marketing? Is affiliate marketing any part of the potential income you cite above?
2. What do you mean by “process rebate offers?” As you acknowledge, there’s lots of room for skepticism when the rebate processing sites out there think “process rebate offers” means “sell stuff through Clickbank ads and send some of your commission to the purchaser.”
3. I don’t understand how a rebate is involved in trying something on a trial basis. Does it mean, for example, that I could buy a widget for $50 less a rebate, try it out, then send it back and get my $50 back and keep the rebate?

Care to send me a link to your offer? joe[at]ivetriedthat[dot]com.

Our training program is four basic parts.
1st – PART 1: (BASICS & PROCESSING YOUR 1ST REBATES)
2nd – PART 2: (HOW TO FIND AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF REBATES)
3rd – PART 3: (MAKING LARGER PROFITS BY PAYING FOR REBATES)
4th – PART 4: (MAKING ADDITIONAL INCOME FROM DAY 1 WITH REFERALS)

To answer your questions one by one:

Yes, part four is refering others to my company for a 50/50 split ($47.50/$47.50) on all sales generated by your refferals. However, this we feel is very fair, since we answer any questions the potential customer may have and accept payment, you do nothing more than post ads on free sites toward the end of your work day, refering them to us. This is the last thing you learn, and is additional income to whats listed in the other post.

Process Rebate Offers in detail means exactly this. Go to the link provided by the rebate processing company or independent rep…..choose a prize for completing the requirements of the site, NOTE*(This prize is in addition to the payment you recieve from the refferer, and is usually $250-$2500)…and sign up. Once you sign up you then order products on a free trial basis, to complete your 1st part of the offer, NOTE* (This is what you recieve $20-$150 for from the refferer), and that is it. Big Note* (You do have to cancel the offer before the end of your trial, and you may have to try more than one product to complete your requirements. Also the pay is relative to what your expense is for shipping/handling and other mandatory fees). If you get $15-$25 your expense is $0, if you get $26-$50, your expense is $1-5$, if you get $51-$75, your expense is $5-$10, if you get $76-$100, your expense is $10-$15, if you get $101-$150, your expense is $15-$25. When you have done enough of these you will have experience and money so that you can pay others and instruct them on how to complete the same offer sites the most efficient and fastest way through your link. For reffering 5-30 people to one of these sites and walking them through completing the offer you get your prize of $250-$2500 from the site. You don’t give any of your commission to the purchaser, or even deal with Clickbank, we pay you for completing the offer, and you learn how to do the same. Simple math will show you that if you complete 6 offer sites a day averaging $50 after expenses, than you make $300 in your Paypal account. If you complete the refferal requirements of the same 6 sites in a month and the average prize payout is $1500 you make $9000.

I do not have a fancy ripoff site which lies to you. I do not have links to blinking offers that tell you buy within the next 30,29,28 seconds. We market our training minimally as the real money for us, is in both processing rebates and reffering others to process rebates. The crooks of the internet world specialize in tactics designed to make you buy, and giving you crap that is worthless, because their profits come from how many financially hurting people they can trick. We simply advertise on the free classified sites, and allow others to refer people to us, than we explain the whole shebang to them just like this. If they want to train with us we actually pay them ($95 in, $228 out), of course the real dough for us is in getting the $1000+ prizes. Thats pretty much it and if you guys or anyone is interested in the training we offer, its $95 and we are more than happy to answer any and all questions you may have. We can be reached at

I like the sound of that last paragraph about not having a flashy site. Brenda, if you look into it, let us know how it goes.

I’m glad I decided to research “rebate processing” before I blew my precious hard earned money on such a scam. Thanks for the heads up.

i think all online money making markets are scams,why don’t they let you try the site first and make some money then pay them back after you make the money? because they know you won’t make the money they just want your money!

DON’T BELIEVE WHAT THESE SITES SAY. JUST GO WORK FOR YOUR MONEY THE OLD FASHION WAY OR FLUSH THE MONEY DOWN THE TOILET AND SAVE YOUR TIME!

Your friend humbolt

i have purchased this andtried to get on the site and couldnt. it was bought on feb 14 at 7;29 pm. i was lead to believe it was legiate. i am a single mom who has lost her job , with a daughter who has cancer. i only went this route so i can be there to take care of her. i have been trying to find ways to get my money back. no head way. i need the money real bad. if you could tell me how to get the money bacck it would be greatly appreciated. the ladies name on the website was brenda meyyers thanks terry

i got suckered for 197 bucks i just didnt see your site in time and just started to try to get my money back rite see how that turns out any way just think ill shoot this computer being that im not responsibe enough to have on any more or so my wife will think

Josh, I feel for you, man. You could point out to her all the scams you didn’t join.

I was interested in website that Joe is offering. If I understand you, I will reply to the e-mails I get for free items (just spend 4 hours jumping through all the hoops we can come up with). At the end I give you the prize or cash and I get $25.00-$50.00. I don’t mean to sound cynical, but that sounds like as big of a scam as going through the hoops for myself. Am I missing something. I am hnestly loking for a legitimate at home business and am really getting sick of all the cr%p. And how come when you google thomasprocessingenterprises the first line is to send you money for a “report” and then the link goes to classifieds where the add has been removed. You just wrote your entry here on the 1st. I am a very hard worker but my wife and I have a special needs child. Her job pays more than mine did. Now Ineed to suppliment our income from home. I am a strong believer in entrepreneurship, but i HATE con-artists. I look forward to a response. Bobby

Good job Joe and Steve, looks like you may have saved some people more money!!!! I have researched as well and cannot find a rebate processing online job that I feel like throwing money into. Proof of payment would be nice. Jeru put us in touch with some of your happy members and we can hear what they have to say as well.

Sorry about the mistake. I meant the company that Jeru was talking about

Good luck finding work out there Bobby, but it can be had online, for free!!!! But it is all work. Check in the forums here and look at my site as well. Sign up for the forum, and connect with others with the same concerns and issues, we can all trade ideas there.

@Mortimas: Yeah, it’s been pretty cool. We love it when people speak up in the comments and say we’ve saved them money. Search engine traffic on “rebate processor jobs” is pretty hot right now.

We also love it when they buy our book for ~~$50~~ ~~$40~~ ~~$25~~ ~~$10~~ whatever price they want to pay, but whaddya gonna do? Can’t hard sell to people you’ve just saved from spending money.

Whew!……am I getting an education, unfortunately it cost me $197.00. Like so many well meaning people I to was looking for a way to supplement my income by working online. I admit I fell for the add of Angel Stevens, and I quote “#1 work at home consultant in America”. All I needed was 60 minutes and she would show me a certified, proven and guaranteed way to make $225 and more every day. After paying my money I filled out a form to see if I qualify to be coached by an internet guru who did not know anything about Angel Stevens program. I decided to ploy along anyway and like most I found what was promised was nothing like what they were instructing me to do. I then started to do some invesigating and googled Angel Stevens and found many sites like yours that cofirmed my suspicions I had been had…..I also received another email from “Process from home”…This time the name was Angela Pembrook claiming to be the ” #1 work at home consultant in America ” Angel must have left the country….with my money. I would like to know if anyone has ever got the money back from this group?

Nice one Joe, I just bought the book, just because of that comment.. I bought the cheap version and will buy a second copy if I like it!!! make sense? Thanks for the options.

Good job, guys. I sense your sincerity in this project of “outing the bad guys”. Don’t have any misgivings about selling your book, either — the time and research you put into this project is valuable to those of us out there nearly victimized by these scams. It’s worth paying for that information; so much better than paying for a deceptive scheme that just leaves us more broke, economically and emotionally.

BTW, please don’t post Jeru’s email here. If you do, I suspect you’ll have given in to a spammer’s relentlessness. Though Jeru may (possibly) sincerely believe in his program’s legitimacy, he can’t sincerely expect to post a link that will potentially be perceived as spam by the participants of the “I’ve Tried That” community. If he wants his program to be tried, he simply needs to fill in the Website field when he makes his post; people can choose whether they wish to visit or not. Also: Would there be a way to ensure that the Website URL can not be an affiliate link?

I’ve posted my email address in the Website filed of this post simply to see if my email address would be appear there as a link. I understand if you fellows delete this post; I don’t want to give any potential spammers any ideas.

I’m not a SEO expert, but my understanding is that nobody knows precisely how Google’s algorithm (search engine nuts & bolts) works. What *is* known is that when you allow a website’s URL to be posted to your own site, it seems to help that website’s ranking in Google’s listings. In other words, the more site’s that link to a website, said website will be listed higher in certain search queries.

I wonder, however, if a website will be ranked *lower* when it is linked to by a site that is publishing *negative* terms? ivetriedthat.com includes terms like “scam” and “spammer”, et cetera — there’s even the term “scams” in this particular page’s URL — and I wonder if allowing a poster’s URL in the Website field (while posting) will either a) improve their Google rank or b) lower their Google rank?

We’d have to seek out SEO expertise to know for sure. Does this all make sense to you guys? It boils down to this: Whether or not you should even allow posters to plug their website in the Website field. If you allow us to do so, word will eventually get around and the scammers/spammers may begin to hang around in our community here. However, if it turns out that by posting their URLs here turns out to be detrimental to their website’s rankings, then by all means allow them to post so that we can bring them down.

Unless you guys know or until we know otherwise, I would suggest removing the ability to allow posters to include their website URL in the Website field when they are posting. That’s my suggestion, and you can take it or leave it.

Sadly enough responses on this post are a clear example of why a lot of people fail at working from home. True, there are a lot of scams out there, but (2) posts above show why a lot of people fail. The first is BRENDA she claims she would like the opportunity to try real rebate processing, I post our Email, and she never contacts me. First reason people fail, they never actually try. Apparently BOBBY never bothered to read the posts above, because what he thinks we’re about is vastly different than what I posted above. This is the second reason people fail, they either try something without fully understanding what they are getting into, or get bits and pieces and form their own ideas. BOBBY…..READ THE DETAILS OF THE POSTS I MADE ABOVE, DOES THAT SOUND LIKE WHAT YOU SAY MY OFFER IS ABOUT IN YOUR POST? We have classifieds on several sites, so I have no idea what Bobby is talking about, but then again, what does that have to do with what we offer. If you really want to investigate an opportunity, don’t you think you should go to the source and get as much information as you can. The point of posting on the site was to let you know that there are real rebate processing opportunities out there and to give you an opportunity to try a real one out. We offer to pay you for trying our system out which I wish someone would have offered to me when I started in this business. I’ll say that one more time for Mr. Humboldt, WE PAY YOU. And we’ve got another individual named MORTIMAS who suggests to us to post names of satisfied customers. Not one of these people has contacted us for more information, so for all MORTI knows, a list of happy customers could be in our presentation. Look, we would like to help everyone out there whose looking for a real work at home opportunity, which is why we created our program, but we can’t force you to get off your lasy azz and do some work. Research is key before trying anything new out, and you will find zero complaints about us, which says a lot more about what we offer and who we are, than people we may or may not be paying who tell you we’re the greatest thing since sliced bread. After all some of you bought Angela Penbrooks system, and that was exactly what you bought into (flashy buy now signs, this guy made millions, that girl was so happy after she bought my system, etc.) If you are a serious individual, and you’re interested in real rebate processing, we are more than willing to help you, and we’ll answer any questions you have before you buy. Previous posts on this thread explain a great deal about how our program works.

Jeru

Sorry Jeru, I read what you do and don’t exactly agree with it. It’s not a work at home job by any means. I’m removing all email links you posted and request that you refrain from posting it again.

jeru, for someone that complains that no one follows through and tell me that a list of satisfied customers may be in your presentation, you spend a lot of time typing and explaining.
Is a list of satisfied customers in your presentation? And this group here is a skeptical bunch, we are not a bunch of discussion board trolls trying to earn 8 cents a day doing some ptc, ptp or otherwise tedious program. People here want real legitimate ops. If your program passed muster here, then trust me you would definately see an increase in traffic to your information. Harold said it, why dont you just fill in the website line in your comments block and we will go directly to your site…. that would be easy.

STEVE, what don’t you exactly agree with?

Look, I as well as many others make a good living Processing Rebates. I have never told anyone that this is a work from home job for hourly pay. Its rebate processing. You process rebates and get paid for them, and more (all listed in previous posts).

Funny that Steve and others posting on here have quite a bit of negativity to say, but other people not posting who simply read the posts, have contacted us and some are already working with us. Well, I wish I could help you all, but Communist Sensor Steve has removed all of our contact information because he don’t agree, with what I’m not sure, but he don’t agree. Nothing like a runaway computer Stalin.

Well anyway, anyone who gets a chance to read this before Commy Steve edits it, should know that I sent Joe 2 rebate sites to complete for free, and if he had completed them I would have shown him how to get referals for free so he could have $3700.00 in his pocket in 2 weeks, minus the free trial expenses. Its a small part of the training, but I wanted him to see the income potential. He didn’t complete the rebates and chose to quit, and Steve hasn’t contacted us at all. I doubt these individuals will allow you to get a shot at real rebate processing, because like a lot of you they don’t follow through.

Jeru

Mortimus you are correct, but we don’t have a flashy website, as mentioned above in previous posts.

Steve, you communist.
Actually steve is quite the capitalist, and bottom line, this is his site, so his choice of what to permit is entirely Steves.
Flashy or not, the info is available, correct… join the forum and send me a pm as to the details jeru.

I doubt steve is even a democrat, so I know he is not a communist.

Jeru, you really shouldn’t get so upset about your links and email addresses being removed from this comment thread. I can’t speak for the boys, but if I have it right, I think I’ve Tried That is not only about debunking the scammers, but is also about discovering the authentic Work at Home offerings. Maybe I’ve got that wrong; Steve or Joe please correct me if so.

If so, then blatantly posting a URL and/or email address on a Comments thread like this would be a tactic of many scammers/spammers would use. Fortunately (or not), the guys behind this blog have allowed us to place our URL in the Website field I mentioned before. That way posters like us can not-so-blatantly “spam” the Comments board with a link to our website, so that others may check us out if they’d like. You can’t expect to be allowed to place your URL in any old blog’s Comments board; it’s enough to make your case without providing a direct link.

I’d like to know more about what you’ve got there, so I wouldn’t mind you contacting me. Simply click my name to go to my blog and collect my email address there; it’s as simple as that. Make sure to send it from a legitimate email, though, else it’ll be automatically routed to my Spam folder by Gmail and then I’ll never know it was received.

I may or may not try your business — I don’t have a bank account or any savings to take a gamble with. But if there’s no up-front costs, I may be game, and I’ll be sure to let alot of people know the results of my experience, positive or negative (or both).

You’re absolutely right, Harold.

All right, Jeru, if you want to play it that way, here’s why I lost interest.

Jeru sent me affiliate links to two sites: highrollers.v-bux.com and cash.zeropricetags.com. Both are sites where you sign up for free offers in exchange for cash and prizes. For example, you might get a free iPod if you complete trial offers from, for example, Netflix and others. I’ve never been a big fan of those things, but for $2500 I was willing to give it a shot.

He also said he would give me the training free of charge that he sells to others. Another bonus!

I signed up at the first site and selected my free gift of $2500 to be delivered via PayPal. Here’s what I will have to do to get that $2500:

Complete about 5 trial offers. (Let’s call this step Tier one) I have to earn 1 “credit” to get the $2500, and the offers are worth anywhere from 5% of a credit to 27% of a credit. I selected my offers and was ready to begin them, ready to spend up to $10 on shipping.
Get 20 people to sign up using my referral link and get them to complete their trial offers. (Let’s call this step Tier 2)

Now, if I had paid Jeru for the training rather than getting it for free, he would have paid me to complete my offers, because he would be the one in Tier 1, and I would be one of his referrals completing offers in Tier 2. So if he gets (in this example) 20 people to complete their offers, he’s got $2500 coming. You get people to complete their offers by paying them.

I have no problem with any of this so far. If Jeru and I can both profit from American consumerism, more power to us. I don’t even mind that in this example, I might make $100 while he makes $2500 because I could learn how to be the Tier 1 guy. I have no doubt Jeru makes good monoey doing what he does. It’s not for me, though, and here’s why.

How do I find the 20 people who want to get paid to complete trial offers? I plaster my affiliate ads all over the Net saying I will pay you to “process rebates,” and all you have to do is pay $95 for this training. (I pocket half of each sale, but I won’t tell you that.) How is signing up for a trial offer, even when I get paid to do so, a “rebate processing job?”

I would make my pitch to people who are desperate to supplement their income, and would call it “rebate processing” because “get paid to sign up for trial offers and send your name and contact info and maybe your credit card all over the Net” doesn’t sell as well. I would sell to people who are desperate enough to fork over $95 they can’t afford in the hopes that they’ll be able to make decent income working from home “processing rebates.” When they realize they’re not processing rebates at all, they’ll feel cheated. And that I do have a problem with.

You call it not following through. I call it integrity.

Oh, and Steve isn’t a Commy! He’s a Fascist. Big difference. Look it up.

Joe wins. Jeru is banned. Steve still knows everything.

Just another day at I’ve Tried That.

Thanks joe.
That is the basic x-box 360/ ipod giveaway crap, that has been around for a while, get 20 people to join up and do all the offers… very hard to do… even if you get the item, it is quite scammy… (There is no way you would have got the 2500)

Now get back to the subject!!!!
rebate processing?? what in the world is that all about?

It all reminded me too much of those “Make Money Stuffing Envelopes” scams I’d first encountered as a child. I remember the slight feeling of disappointment I’d had after first sending in my S.A.S.E. and a dollar only to receive some vague flyer in my return envelope. Even more, I remember “investing” another $10 or $20 I’d scrounged only to receive some lame book describing the process of placing ads in various newspapers with the same message I’d received and then asking them to invest more of their money for some lame book and who knows what else…

(continued on my blog, “something that happened”)

I began writing a post here and then realized it was worthy of posting to my blog. It’s more of an article than a comment, so if you want to read the rest of it then check out my blog, “something that happened”. It’s easy to find using your favorite search engine. I hope this isn’t considered spam on my part; please let me know if it is.

I have to protest about the satatement made from Jeru for it is in fact untrue. I did indeed try more then one time to get a responce from him threw e-mail. He can not say he sent me the information either because I have my e-mail set to all e-mail is excepted, purposely. IN other words, I do not have a spam blocker set. Thinking ahead, I did this for the very reason so he could not claim that he tried to send me any information.

On another note Steve is absolutly correct in saying that the sites that Jeru gave him to look at are not rebate processing.
There is no rebate to process. Those sites work very differently. I know because I myself have over 35 sites like that that I work. highroller.v-bux being one of them. This is a one credit site and if you change your prise you will see that you can cash out on one referral.

Another point is that no one should be haveing to pay Jeru $95 for this information because I like I said I do those sites and it is free to register. All I do is if someone is interested I give them what is called my referral link. After they complete the offers required to make the credit(s) requirement I send them a personal bonus from myself, threw paypal, which is free to set up an account. All Jeru is doing is makeing something good look bad by chargeing people $95 for his referral links, which is very wrong of him to do.

The reason for me putting credit(s) like this is because some sites require more then 1 credit to be complete.

I make good money doing the referral sites but I have not mislead anyone in how it is done either. What Jeru is saying is misleading, it is not rebate processing.

When a person that you have referred completes the offers and gets the amount of credit(s) required it is called going green. Now before the trial ends the person may cancel the services and no longer be bills, you do not want to cancel to early for then the credit will revert back.

The way that it really works is that you as the person referring (person 1, example : me)cashes out on the referral (person 2, example : steve) I get $125 to cash out on the highrollers.v-bux if I do not want to wait for another person to green, then I in return send steve a part of that cash out if that was agreed on. If I told Steve that I would pay him $40 to complete the site then I would indeed send him the money after I cashed out the $125. Now then Steve in return does the same thing, gets a friend to sign under his referral link and then he collects on his friend. He may choose to pay or not.

Yes you can get people to go and register with out agreeing to pay them anything. That is 100% your collection.

As far as the cash.zeropricetags site I do not do have that one, I have the doublecash.zeropricetags, now this is a site that requires two credits to complete the fisrt step “going green”, which is a site that you do not want to give to someone who is just starting out in doing the referrals. you want to start them only on one credit sites and build them up before you move on to two credit, or more sites. I have a site that I do that pays out $200 on one referral but I do not give that site as the first site to start anyne out on because it takes 5 credits.

futher more Jeru should never have given the highrollers site as a begining site either, even that it is a 1 credit site it takes many offers to complete to go green. The smaller paying sites are faster for a beginer and easier as well.

On that all being said now, yes I do make money from the sites that I work and you all are probally asking yourself then why am I looking for yet another way of makeing money from home, it is simple, my grandmother use to all ways say never put all your eggs in one basket.
A person is not guarenteed that they will make $3500 in a month from doing this, yes it is possible to do but it is not guarenteed steady. Some months you may only come out with $200. You may even decide that you may not want the money but to collect something else instead, such as an i-pod, a laptop, a tom tom for you car, a computer game for your child, the list goes on and on.
I pay people who complete the offers under my referral links for me, depending on the site from $20 – $100, it is worth it to me to pay those who do complete because I to have made money.

Jeru, in no way shape or form is this rebate processing.

Thanks for the info, Brenda. I have a question for you, but I’m moving the conversation to the forum to keep this thread on topic. Please head over there and post a reply if you like.

Joe, I have registered to the forum as per your request and as soon as i get the post reply privilage I surly will answer any and all questions that you may have. I am thinking that I have to wait until I get an e-mail notice correct? Because I tryed to post a reply and it has that feature inactive atr this time.

I did not say any thing about sites before because that is not what this subject is about, this subject is about rebate processing (at home work)

Jeru is the one who tryed to say that this was a part of rebate processing and I had to speak up for the sites that I work with because it is not a scam. He aparently is a very greedy person and is selling his referral links (information) for $95.

I’m glad I found your review of rebate processing. Angela Penbrook almost stole $197 from me. I really want to be a stay at home dad. Are there legitimate ways to work at home using your PC? How do I find them?

WOW!! Definitely glad I found this! Very informative and a saving of, $197, then $39, then $29… that’s the priceline I saw for three different rebate process job offers. Oh yeah, and every one of them had the countdown clock. Thank you for your help and thank you for the postings. I have been pretty stupid, I guess. I( have ‘Flushed’ money a couple of times. My latest was for $29.95 for a “Financial Success System” (FSS)disc. It’s “Beautiful” You pay $9 for what is basically a ‘Come-On’ power Hype disc that tells you zip about the product, but you “May” (Keyword) make “Thousands…..somehow the little disclaimer throughout should be the “Headsup” on how the huge sums “…are not typical…not a guarantee of your income…” It sets up an appointment with someone and then another $29.95 is taken from you to get you started; basically, calling others to set up appointments to sell something.
Is there ANYTHING that a person can do to make money from home working ‘Online’? Please tell me cuz’ I’se been lookin for a LONG TIME! Thanks for your Post and Time.

Hey steve Boroski, I tried to go to your website!!! That was funny ;} That would be a good start. get one, free or otherwise.
research is the key, you found this site and it saved you money, maybe you find a site that makes you money. My advice is to stick to places like this that have open discussion about online business, sometimes your best leads are found at places that “bust” scams. I bought joe and Steves ebook and it might help someone like you.. If not then just keep digging.
Or you could just sell all your stuff on ebay!!!

Mike and Steve B: I’m glad to hear we saved you some hard-earned cash. The ratio of real work to “opportunities” or “programs” or outright scams online is really discouraging. Yes, there are legitimate ways to make money with your PC from home. However, if you’re looking for a full-time income, Mike, so you can be a stay-at-home dad, it would take you some time to build up to that.

My first advice to people that have fallen for gimmicks like “data entry” or “rebate processing” is to change your expectations. Chances of you finding an “online job” that makes a lot of money are very slim. Instead, work on finding a “job online.” There’s a big difference. In most legitimate “jobs” we have seen, you don’t do the work online. You find the job online, and then do the work on your own computer at home, even if you’re not online while you do it. You don’t use the Internet to do work, you use it to find real jobs that you can do from home.

Of course, there are ways to do work online and make money (this blog you’re reading is one such example), but based on your questions, it looks like you’re not asking for that kind of work.

The most complete advice we have about finding jobs online is in our book. But basically, you need to treat your search like a normal (offline) job search. Have a good resume and cover letter, sharpen your computer skills, look for the right keywords in job advertisement websites, and learn how to quickly weed out the advertisements that aren’t real jobs at all.

If you (or anyone else reading this) want to tell us more about your work experience and skills, we might be able to point you in a more specific direction.

Do you know anything about processing government rebates? Is that a legitimate job or another scam?

Stupid me looked at all the reviews of the scam AFTER I hit “continue” to place the order with my credit card. When the order process errored out, I finally thought to google the program and fast changed my mind about ordering. The money got taken from my credit card anyway, but they were good about honoring thier guarantee. I just called the 800# that appeared on the credit card charge, asked for the $197 refund, they did not ask why, and less than a week later I have my money back. Lesson learned…again…this time.

I’ve gotten tons and I mean tons of these “rebate processing” emails. It’s really crazy how many go out each day! I did go to one of the websites in the beginning but when they wanted to charge me even “$39″ I click off of the website and went my separate way. Thank goodness of this site “I’ve tried that” that told me any legit job online will not cost you a penney!
Thanks again for the information!

I recieved one of these scam emails as well for rebate processing. My first thought was why would a company pay someone $15 for 5 min. of work when they could pay an employee an hourly min. wage which is less then $15 an hour. ??????

Yeah i recived this stupid email from a James, funny how the email came from foreststrawberry.com. I looked up that website and NOTHING came up it was not a valid website. So be careful!

Really like your info site here! I just ‘lost’ $29.95 to a ‘rebate program’ under the name of Tracey Watson. Better that than $197 to Angel, Cindy, Angela or Stephanie! Again, thanks for your thread!

You just saved me $39.00. I am a stay at home mom without a single penny, except a credit card. I have four children and I really need to earn income. I was in tears when I was looking for a place to work. But I felt I needed to find out if I would be scammed.
Thank you.

You’re welcome, Pat. I’m glad to hear you didn’t flush your bank’s money. I’ve been there and know what desperation feels like. I’m sending you a free copy of our ebook so you can learn how to spot the scams and how to find real jobs online.

HAs anyone heard of Steve Albright with the site reviewopedia

[...] If you’re new to I’ve Tried That, you’ll want to click over to our full review of rebate processor jobs. We signed up for one of them and tell you all about what they’re really [...]

Great info! So glad I stumbled across this site. I do have one question before I buy your book…is your company a member of the BBB? Not trying to offend but I’ve been scammed before and even by people saying they are here to “out” the scammers. All the info I’ve read so far seems legit…just asking. Thanks

Hi DC, that’s a reasonable question. No, we’re not members of the BBB. It’s never occurred to us that we should be. Tell you what, if you buy our book and then feel like you’ve been scammed, contact me directly and I’ll send a scam complaint myself to the BBB. You can reach me at joe[at]ivetriedthat[dot]com.

To Bobby: Steve Albright operates under at least 3 different names. His basic review is ok, but then he ‘recommends’–read ‘shill’ here, another program which doesn’t work the way he claims, so be careful. He’s more subtle than other promoters, but still the same animal.
To Trackback: Angela Penbrook’s program is exactly the same as Cindy Dalton, Angela Stevens and Stephanie Edwards. You have to pay $197 for the program, then spend additional money promoting it before you see any profit, and profit is by no means guaranteed.
DC: Don’t rely on the BBB to review, regulate or oversee any Net businesses. They don’t resolve complaints and they don’t have the manpower to accurately check and review sites. Sorry, but that’s just the way it is on the Net.
Also, DC: I bought Joe’s eBook and it’s excellent, period. It’s not a money opportunity deal; it’s a comprehensive guide to finding a traditional job which lets you work on your computer at home.
People: I apologize to all for the length of this statement. I’ve looked at hundreds of business opp websites and blogs and these guys are the most professional I’ve seen, so I’m just adding my two cents that I think they’re trustworthy. I’m a retired legal secretary, if that helps with credibility.

I’m still asking if anyone has any information on government rebate processing. Supposedly, the way it works is that you get a training manual from the government, followed by a list of people to call about their government rebates. Then, you get a percentage. Has anyone heard of this?

@ Patricia: Thanks for the recommendation!
@ Tee: We’re checking that out now. See my post about it here.

Thanks for the info, Patricia. I moved your comment over to the

Mortgage Insurance Refunds post, where it’s more directly related to the topic.

Yes i was wondering is there a web sit that you can actually process rebates at home and if their is could i have the address to this site
Thanks
Charles
sirlevicharles@yahoo.com

Anna intrested to hear that you received a refund of $197.00 was this from Processathome.com?. I signed up for Angel stvens program and have tried without any look for refund.

Anna I meant to say ” I tried without any luck in getting my money back”

I’m so glad I stumbled across your site! I’m in a financial jam and thought this rebate processing thing might help… thanks for saving me some money, and extreme aggrivation!!!

I stumbled upon your site totally by accident, and am I glad I did. I am disabled and need to supplement my SS check, and am considering online work as the solution. I had noticed in the rebate processing ads the wording was exactly the same, only the names were changed to fool the innocent! I believe I will do a lot more research before tryiong anything, and I have no intention of spending money to get a job. I will not pay someone to hire me! Thanks for the heads up.

@ Kevin: Good on ya, mate. If everyone would learn those lessons, we could all put these Internet scammers out of business. Keep this distinction in mind: we have seen MANY real jobs online. We have seen NO real online jobs. It’s a small but important difference.

Boy, am I ever confused and worried! I signed up for the “Process at home” program back during the first week of Jan. (Not in response to a spam email, but after Googling “Best work from home jobs”). I submitted my $197.00 payment and was contacted within 24 hours. I was sent the training sessions religously ever week for the entire seven week course that I was instructed from the very beginning that I would have to complete before being deemed “Rebate Processor”. I was told in a recent email from Angel Stevens that she is in the process of creating a data base for me to start processing the rebates that I have been trained to do. I just today stumble onto your site and am reading nothing but Scam…Scam…Scam! Is it really possible that absolutely nobody has had a positive experience with Angel Stevens?! If it isn’t her still responding to me emails, then who is?

Mike,
I’d be interested in seeing what “she” has sent you so far. If you want to send me any info, I’ll take a closer look. joe[at]ivetriedthat[dot]com.

My prediction: “she” is going to tell you that the database is all ready, but you have to buy product y for $29.95 to use it or something. They’re going to ask you for more money.

Well, I admit that I fell for Penbrook’s “make money fast skeme. I pluncked down my $197. by credit card and even went out and bought a new flashdrive to keep track of my rebate business accounts. Right. I took one look at that 57 page manual on how to shake money from trees essentially and realized my huge error. I called the 1-800 number at least 800 times. Each time I was put on hold for an eternity then hung up on. I called my credit card co. who advised they could do nothing just yet because the charge had not officially posted. But they did place a fraud alert on my account so that nohting further could be added to my charge w/out my permission. Some relief, but I wanted all my money back. So I doggedly pursued that 800 number, finally reached Penbrook ‘accounting’ around 4 a.m., explained that this was not what I expected and I wanted an immediate refund. A very Polynesian accented person took basic info, promised a full credit to my card within 5-7 days. Miraculously the credit appeared within the time frame. I have learned my lesson. Barnum Bailey said it best: if it sounds too good to be true it likely is.

My advice if you get caught up in the moment?? Call you credit card co. immediately and request a fruad alert be placed on your account. At least if the skammer is unscrupulous, they cannot place more charges on your card. If you find a 1-800 number on the website, call it. Relentlessly. Pain in the posterior,but if you want a refund through the merchant, which is preferable since then your credit card co. won’t do anything right away, cue up speed dial.

And good luck.

thank you so much, i cannt ever express my gratitude, i am a single mom and i work 50 hours a week at a notmal 9-5 job. however there never seems to be ebough money for the little things like buying my 4 year old the care bear that she so despretly wants, or for that matter the new pair of shoes that i so despretly need… i was going to spend my 197.00 on angelas training but i on a whim googled it first (i actually have my credit card ready and the web site still up!)and now i am so glad that i went with my gut before i charged this because there is no way i would be able to pay this off next month (i actually bought into the “earn your money back in 15 mintues” cr@p)thank you thank you thank you!!! i am def dissapointed that i am not going to be able to supplment my income. but very greatful that i did not just flush 200.00, that might have been the straw that broke this very tired camals back- thank you again. i cannt tell you how much heartache (if not tears) you have saved me,

Roxanne

Roxanne, you just made my day. Nay, my week! I’m so glad to hear you didn’t flush your money. How good are your computer skills? If they’re reasonably good, our ebook will show you how to make a couple hundred bucks a month. It’s hard work, mind you, but I get the feeling you’re used to that.

Hello Everyone! God, after reading all of these comments on scams and lost money I now have one huge headache and blurred vision! I have been sent so many pop ups on maaking money online by filling out surveys from so many different companies and I flat got tired of filling them out! They go on and on and on (like the little rabbit with the batteries commercial).And they all end up asking for my bank card or credit card. You know some people may have the money to spend for these things but I am only receiving close to $1100. a month and $700. goes to rent, 205. for my little sisters car payment, and a 109 for her insurance until she can get on her feet. So that leaves me with very little left for right now. When I went online to look for ways to increase my income it wasn’t to decrease it by spending what little I had left! I have so far gotten very rich by my African relatives who died in plane crashes, car wrecks etc. that I never even knew in the first place etc.! I have also been sent money orders that I was told to take to my bank and cash and keep so much and send the rest back. (I gave them to our local police department and some to the Post Office). I’ve seen so many scams that I don’t want to trust any ways of making money online. I also have a hobby of doing genealogy and I know for a fact that I have NO relatives in Africa. (At least not so far)I really need to make extra money right now but I guess that’s not in my near future. I’m not afraid of hard work as I came from a family of 10 children and have seen cotton fields since I was old enough to walk. But I’m 56 years old today and not as physically fit as I used to be and now I’m between stages as my mother says: Not old enough for Social Security and to old for most jobs that are hiring. But If I had money to waste or flush down the toliet as you say than I wouldn’t be looking for a way to earn more in the first place! Even $20. out of my pocket right now is more than I can afford. So if any of you people know of a way to earn without spending than PLEASE let me know. I’ll place this site into my favorites and check back ever so often for a reply. Thank you very much!!! (Oh, by the way, I was also emailed by Angela and Steven Albright) I didn’t go through with the forms after it ask for my credit card. Plus I typed their names up on my search bar and wa-lla, here I am! ………Vivian

I am glad I read your website first before paying for this processing scam. There arer so many things out there to make money but of course most of them are scams. I will stick with options & forex trading.

What a great source of info here. You literally saved me $197. I came so close to buying into the Angela P. scam. This is the first time I have viewed your site, and certainly appreciate what i found.

Thank you

We’re seeking to compile detailed refund stories to help those who have been a victim of this scam. If you made a purchase and then managed to receive a refund, please visit this thread: http://www.ivetriedthat.com/2008/03/19/seeking-detailed-refund-stories/

Help us help those who have been scammed.

joe – my pc skills are fairly competant. i work in 3rd party collections right now, so i am on a pc all day long, and i can navigate mine fairly well, for my knowlegde, when you say “hard work” are you meaning more then about an hour or two a day? becasue that is all i really have after the kids go to bed before i cant keep my eays open any more… but i would have no problem spending that 2 hours a day on the pc if it will help me make 200.00 extra a month!!! taht would pay my car payment and a huge reliefe!!!! let me know please, Thank you again, Roxanne

I was actually researching the website to see if it was a scam or not…you are doing a lot of people a favor..Keep up the good work!
Melissa

joe
i was looking into your e book and i am a littel confused, there are 4 differnet options available, one for 24.95, 14.95, 9.95, and 5.95 – - – what is the differance between the 4 books???

thanks roxanne

Roxanne, here are your answers, in reverse order:
The only difference is the price. You pay whatever you want to pay, but the book is the same. (This won’t always be the case.)

And the amount of time you spend working per day is usually up to you. If your employer wants a project finished in 3 days, it probably won’t work for you. But often they are flexible.

If you have solid computer skills, you should have no trouble finding jobs online. That’s very different from finding “online jobs.” We’ve seen hundreds of legitimate jobs for writers, html designers, graphics artists, personal and executive assistants, and so on. If you want to see examples of some of the jobs, check out the daily job listings at the Daily Telecommuter. Steve, my partner in crime, prescreens telecommuting jobs daily and lists only the legitimate ones, which is usually about 20 per day.

hey joe – about that e book – you mentioned that the price was not always going to be negotiable. i was wondering if that was going to change eny time soon? soo i wont hav the funds available until teh end of the month – and i deff want one – - Thanks yet again, Roxanne

No, not soon, Roxanne.

Vivian Virgen: I saw your post re VemmaBuilder. I’m an MLM member of both Vemma (a nutritional product) and VemmaBuilder (a lead generating service). The companies are legit BUT unless you want to work very, very hard for a very long period of time in the traditional MLM way, it’s tough to make any real money. Many successful people in MLM are using the Net to work their MLM programs (including Vemma). I’m in the process of checking out some Net venues that might work to recruit people into my MLM. I’m not looking to recruit anyone here; just to let you know that the Vemma company has a good reputation.

thank you joe – - i look forward to reading all your advice. thanks again, Roxanne

i came across this site processrebatesforcash.com and this person whose name isnt mentioned, seems to bad mouth Angela Penbrook, Angel Stevens, Brenda Meyers etc, saying he is so sick and tired of people scamming people. Yet he is offering the something similar for 29.97. he claims this is the REAL DEAL and actually works, he even goes onto say “I am a fair person. I will be glad to offer you a full 100% refund.” What really made me believe that this is a scam too is that there are alot of misspelled words on this site which bothers me but even more so this person states that when you register you will have instant access to the following;

1) Angela Penbrook’s $197 system.
2) Rebates to process for unlimited companies
3) Coupon offers to process
4) Shopping rebates
5) Direct access to people willing to pay YOU $30 and up to complete rebate offers for them.
6) Learn how to have Paypal pay you up to $1000 just for processing rebates for them
7) Several other Get paid to offers free as a bonus listed further down.

Has anyone seen this site and feels like it just can be real?

joe – - you just made my day!!! thank you sooooo much

Roxane

@ Angela, your instincts are right on. Careless writing is often a tip off that something isn’t right. I think it’s cool that someone is offering Penbrook’s system for much less, but only because it’s one scammer undercutting the other one. If he’s selling Penbrook as part of his “real deal,” it stands to reason that the other programs are crap, too.

@ Roxanne…

Roxanne, my e-mail to you just bounced back undeliverable. Did you get anything from me?

joe – not sure what happened… i have been getting the emails that new comments are posted…. sorry

Hello,
I tried to read most of these, but a bit lengthy. Have you heard about processrebatesforcash.com? They claim to be the real thing & also put down Angela Penbrook. Are they the same thing? They charge $29.97 They claim you do not place ads & you will never spend another dime. I too am one of those who are desperate to find a work at home job…..
Thank you, Sarah

@Angela and Sarah: I ordered the processrebatesforcash.com program and have read it over. I have not tried to use it yet (busy with other things at the moment). However, the material is reasonably well written and easy to understand. It looks legit and the steps appear to be easy to follow. I wouldn’t say that it’s a ripoff. But since I haven’t actually tried to work it yet, I can’t say that it works, either. For me, it was worth spending $29.95 just for the info, because in addition to the specific steps to follow, I think the author gives a pretty good overview of how the industry works, which would be important for anyone wanting to give it a try. If you’re going to spend money checking out the rebate industry, $29.95 is a much better value than $197 any day! Hope this helps!

I tried the Process at Home program and found it to be less than I had anticipated. I requested a refund via an e-mail to Angel Stevens. ClickandBuy promptly refunded my $197.00 within a few days. You probably can make a lot of money with this type of program but it takes money to make it work. It is a multi-level marketing program that requires placing your ads in front of many people, on the web, in hopes that your ad does the job!
For a fee of 3,500-7,000 dollars your “coach” will walk you thru the hard stuff!

@ Patricia: Thanks for the info. Would you be interested in writing a guest review for I’ve Tried That? You can reach me at joe[at]ivetriedthat[dot]com

Thanks so much Joe, I almost got suckered into Pembrooks deal. And for Mick, It’s not obvious to everyone, and I’m am so grateful to Joe for saving me $197. I’m a single mother and a fulltime student, I can’t even make it from paycheck to paycheck, I was looking for a way to make some money and still be at home with my kid. Your totally right Joe, they play on the emotional and depsperate people like me. I feel like an Idiot after reading your review, I can’t beleive I almost fell for it. JERU, YOUR DEAL SUCKS AS WELL, SO JUST STOP, IT’S STUPID.
Thanks again,
Charissa

Thanks for the $197.00 savings. You’ve also restored my faith in the internet policing itself.

I would be interested in finding out what Patricia has to say about the processrebatesforcash.com program when and if she tries to use it…especially since one of the links from that page led me to this thread. Thought you guys might want to know that…kind of an interesting marketing ploy there.

processrebatesforcash links here? Why? We’re no way affiliated with them.

Yep, they got me today. This is 100% False Advertising. It a shame that this is permitted. They suppose to be arrested. These are the people this country law enforcement protects and call the good guys. They are too dumb to con you because you will see through the scam. So what they do is just directly lie to you about what they offer. I learned my lesson too. I see through 98% of scams. But when they tell them good guy lies, that is something different.

The Three Easy Steps To Make Money
By Processing Rebates From Home…

Easy Step #1: You log into your personal account and you copy the unique linking code the system automatically gives you. Here’s an illustration:

Easy Step #2: You enter the section of your personal account where you’re given customer records for you to process rebates for. Customer names are added to your account 24 hours a day so you always have plenty of rebates to process. Here’s an illustration:

Easy Step #3: You fill out a few forms to process a customer’s rebate and click send. Here’s an illustration:

That’s it! Follow these three easy steps and you’re done! To fill out one rebate took you 3 to 4 minutes and, you just made $15 dollars! Do this over and over again, as much as you want, to make all the money you want!

i keep getting these e-mails from these guys and every time i look at the e-mail its sent from someone totally differnt, and the web address that it was sent from does not even exist. I keep reporting this scam, and they still are able to keep sending me e-mails!! i am getting very agitated. how do i get this to stop? anyone know?

I wish I would’ve read this before I spent the $39.00….anyhoo thanks for putting the truth out there!

I have been reading over all comments, stories complaints, and I have to say I am another person saved from spending hundreds of dollars on fake rebate processing positions. But I am looking for a ligament at home position. I have a lot of computer experience, but will not go into too much detail on here if you can please contact me in the email ask for when first leaving this comment it will be greatly appreciated. I have a resume and all, to forward to you if you can really help me.. Once again, Thank you helping me save some money
-Mandy

I didn’t find this site in time either. Angela Pembrook got me too. I am disabled, unable to work out in society, living on SSI.(or trying to). I will let yall know if I get it back. I have a dire need for money to take care of my chronically ill daughter as well. My opinion of the job listed above here sounds like some pyramid thing. Not much better than Angela. If I can find some money soon, I can pay for my patent application. My attorney says I could get 35mil plus royalties. If only I could find $2,800. Extremely patentable; not kidding. my e-mail is butterfly2lisa@yahoo.com. I don’t have a website.

Hey lisa, be careful, the patent game is full of scammers as well.

Hello everyone, so i went to this rebate processing site again, funny how this site used to be represented by Angela Pembrook and had all these different testimonials, i just went there and it is a completely different person named Angel Stevens, before i left the site they have a “live agent” who would give you a huge discount if you signed up right away, so i chatted for a minute told him or her i wasn’t stupid and i know what they were up to and that they would be caught soon, funny how this live agent had NOTHING to say after that. So everyone be careful of these e-mails you get, really if you open it you will see every one of these emails comes from a different website each time, and they don’t exist.

Dont fall for the BS!!

WATCH OUT FOR THESE EMAILS THAT COME FROM THESE WEBSITES!!!

Angela Pembrooks website: ca47255re@dentingsounds.com

Angel Stevens website: ca47642re@offersmgic.com

i compared both of these websites these two girls have basically the exact same story about living paycheck to paycheck and how they sadly got divorced, blah blah blah….
If anyone gets these e-mails compare yourself look how similar they are, it’s rediculous.

Thanks so much, you just saved me 197 bucks! My husband works to jobs and I stay home to take care of our 7 kids and we just need more money to get by. I was all set to start processing rebates from the Angel Stevens site when I decided to see if anyone else had done it successfully. Thank goodness I came across your site before shelling out the 200 dollars I don’t have to risk. Thanks a million!

I’m living on unemployment right now and I decided to research this before signing up. THANK YOU!!!!! My husband would’ve had me on that mistake. Can anyone help me find a real work from home job, Data Entry type job? I don’t wanna work in this cruel real world. Thanks again for this site.

Thank you! You have very likely saved me $197.00. I was seriously thinking of the rebate processing deal but, having been scammed before, decided there must be a way to check it out independently. I came across this site. It amazes me how powerful the lure of a promise of easy money is to people, and I include myself in that. I have a good job and have always been able to care of my wife and family but I still pay too much attention to the scam ads for easy riches. I would like to generate a second source of income as a safety net against the unforeseen. I have spent a lot of time reading these posts but it is time well spent.

Now, I need to get to the bank to help bail out some Nigerian royalty in trouble for a reward they promised me…..just kidding, that isn’t one I fell for.

hey joe i have a question. how do i avoid not hearing form a potential employer, and how long should i wait before sending a 2nd email, and should there ever be a 3rd email? so i guess i have 3 questions…

Roxanne

@ Roxanne
You avoid not hearing from a potential employer by having a killer cover letter and resume. If those are in place and you haven’t heard back in 3 business days, it would be perfectly appropriate to write a polite follow-up note. If you still don’t hear from them, a third is probably not necessary. Either they weren’t interested, they’re flaky. And you don’t want to work for anyone flaky.

Keep sending out those letter and resumes. You’ll hit one eventually.

thanks joe

I saw this at my college and thought I’d look into it since I need money myself. They’re preying upon unsuspecting college kids who need money. I’m writing “scam” on every single one I see and I’m putting this website address on it so they can go to it to see for themselves. Thank you very much for this information.

Hi Joe,
I just have a quick question on recent emails that I received. They claim that their business helps moms to work at home through investment and all I have to pay is $14. It sounds a little fishy to me because I’ve learned that when a site ask you to pay it’s almost turned out to be a scam. They told me to attend a meeting online where they’ll go through the step of showing moms to do investment. Do you have any advice on these kind of advertisement? Thanks

Kristy

Hi Kristy,
A Web site asking for money (selling something) is not automatically a sign of a scam. But if it claims to set you up with jobs and asks for money, be very suspicious. Jobs pay you, not the other way around.

The site you mentioned has a couple of good signs: the name of a person you can call. I’d recommend calling that number and talking to her. It’s not a long sales page full of hype. It’s much less “in your face” than many others. It never hurts to have more information, so go ahead and go to the meeting. However, if you have to pay before going to the meeting, I would take that as a warning sign.

Be sure to check out the other warnings signs in our I’ve Tried That 10 Commandments.

Thank you for saving me money that I dident have to spend in the first place. I visited the Angela Pembrook site also, but dident have the money to spend, so I backed out. Thank god I did. I am recovering from a car accident on March 18, 2008. and since then everything has gone downhill for me. I need money badly to pay my mortgage, and bills. I was barely squeeking by before the accident, now its worse. Is there really legitimate online jobs out there, or are they all scams? Upon reading through your site, I now realize that there are alot of people out there like myself who really need to find a way to make money just to survive. Thank you again for opening my eyes about these online scams.

I did do Angela Penbrook’s stupid thing and apparently wasted 197 dollars. It’s definatly a scam and I can’t believe I fell for it. I wish there was something I can do to actually make money online without it being a scam, I’m not trusting anything online anymore!!! Thanks for the insite on everything!!

thank-you for this site but it is to late for me,seems i got scammed by angela penbrook for rebate proccessing.i to am looking for a honest legitimate work at home job.i just recently moved to florida to be near my family for medical emergencies and thought rebate proccessing would be the answer.i paid for the program through my discover card to find out at page thirteen of the quick start book that it does not work.i called the toll free number given and talked to a person whom i could not understand and the same for her. i was told she would transfer me to the technical staff and they would call me back, the phone has not rung since.if anyone has suggestions to get the money back and know of real legitimate jobs,please let me know! sincerely douglas

Hey Douglas,

I got scammed to so don’t feel bad!!! I emailed them demanding my money back and they emailed me back saying they need more info and haven’t gotten back to me, so now I’m going to have to do something else. I will get my money back I’m very annoying when I want something. So when I find out how to get it back I’ll let you know.

Hello Joe and Steve,
I’m so glad that you are “out there” protecting the less-informed – a sincere “Thank You” from all of us.
I was hoping that you would shed some light on the following programs that Steve Albright recommends on his “review” web site.
They are: Project Payday, Profit Lance, Site Build It & 7 Steps to Mastering Forclosure.
He also offers a book entitled “Internet Income Blue Print”. How interesting that it is a $197.00 value offered for “free”. I’m sure that dollar value is not coincidential.
Thank you again for your time,
Sheila
p.s. What do you think of medical transcription from home?

what about project payday? i ran across this one yesterday but i’m sure it might be a scam.

I, too, want to thank you guys. I almost signed up for Angela’s course and then decided to do a Google search. Thank goodness I did. I cannot afford to spend $200 on a scam. Remember the saying that if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

Who does do the processing for all those rebates that are out there?? Do you know?

I just wanted to say an incredible “THANK YOU!” to the creators of this site.

I too like many people who’ve previously posted here am at a extreme low point financially thanks to being sick (medical bills tend to build up quickly! ack!) and still trying to find a job (my husband’s full-time job doesn’t make enough to meet standard bills). I’ve ignored the emails I’ve had in my e-mail account for months now, but in a stupid moment of desperation checked one out and was of course immediately drawn into the flashy advertisements for Rebate Processing and the promises of good side income that comes with it.

I thank God for giving me a small moment of clarity to investigate, for finding this site and avoiding being suckered into a scam like so many unfortunate people have already done.

I’ve looked at the e-book advertisement you guys offer and will try and grab it at first opportunity that a few extra dollars lend as it offers a few new real options for income. I am computer literate (thanks to doing clerical work for 10 plus years) and a lot of the example jobs you had listed could be up my alley for some extra income.

Thanks again and God bless! Will keep this site in favorites for a long time to come!

@ EKPearson: You’re welcome. I’m glad you didn’t flush cash. Did you see our 10 Commandments for Avoiding Online Scams? Follow them and it’s almost certain you’ll never be fooled again. Which example jobs did you think might be right for you? We’ll do what we can to help. Until you can buy the book, check out our “Work at Home Jobs” tab at the top of the page. It lists 15-20 pre-screened, legitimate jobs every day, all of which are for people with some computer skills.

@ Peggy: I’ve also wondered who does all the rebate processing for big companies like Best Buy and etc. (Whoever it is, they do a lousy job! It takes 6-8 weeks for a stupid rebate. It sure didn’t take Best Buy 6-8 weeks to take my money!) But logically thinking, it would have to be a BIG company to process tens of thousands of rebates that would come through. They would need access to a lot of different computer systems and databases. I’m sure it’s all done electronically after the initial paperwork is scanned or typed in. In other words, not the kind of work you and I could do from home.

@ Sheila: We need to take a closer look at Steve Albright and his reviews. My first impression: he tells a straight story, but then turns around and promotes things that he just said are misleading. I don’t get it. I don’t know anything about his “Blueprint.” But if it’s free, you have nothing to lose by looking into it. You’ll be added to an e-mail list and will receive offers, but you can probably unsubscribe at any time. And I’m with you, the $197 figure is veeeeery interesting.

I don’t know much about medical transcription from home, but I’m almost certain, based on what I do know about the business, that it would require some face-to-face contact with a clinic or doctor’s office. It also requires a fair amount of training–it’s not just simple typing. So if a program online wants to sell you a starter kit and promises immediate income, I’d stay away. If it is honestly selling high quality training, it might be worth a more serious look.

@Joe: You guys really are awesome! I am actually checking out the job section of your website right now, also some of the websites that are listed as possibilities on there too. As for some of the things that you all suggested that I feel I might be able to do… Copywriter, Proofreader, Audio-to-type transcription, Personal and Professional administrative assistant and possibly Web site design.

Most of what I’ve done professionally involved general typing (memos etc.) and data entry. I have past experience with doing web sites and programs like PowerPoint, but would need some refreshers (you know how it goes… you don’t use it… you lose it) to be what I would consider extremely proficient again. That’s pretty vague I’m sure, but hopefully you get a general idea. And as always, anything I don’t know, I make an effort to learn (something many employers I’ve had in the past considered a good trait).

Thanks Again & Best Regards.

Thank you so very much Joe and Steve for all of your hard work in letting us know about all the scams out there on Rebate Processing! I too got all caught up in the hype and actually went and paid the $197 on Angela’s site. Fortunately, after reading everything I could find about the her and this scam – I made a wise decision to retrack my decision! I checked my bank account and the money was still pending, which meant that it had not been taken out yet! I quickly put a stop payment on it, so I only lost a small fraction of it on the bank fees. I do know that a lot of people out there are not as lucky as I was though! That is why I can’t thank you enough for posting sites like this!!! I hope Angela reads all of these posts and realizes all the money she is losing as we continue to spread the word!!!! But I know that is wishful thinking…

I didn’t see a response to Kami’s question of the April 16th. Do you know anything about Project Payday?? I saw a link on Rat Race Rebellion’s website. Reputable or Scam??

Thanks!!

We covered Project Payday a while ago. Click here to read the scoop.

Everyone who has been burned by Angel Penbrooke has been posting their experiences all over the net. Why has this operation not been taken down in a public fashion (i.e. news report)? Anyway, the review I read here was almost identical to everyone else’s experience that is being posted throughout the web. I was about to buy the $197 package this past Saturday because I too am out of work and I refuse to be a slave to a horrible work situation ever again. But I still have to eat and I am petrified of being homeless so I was about to eat this bucket of sand out of desparation. The posts on the web saved me from spending a portion of my rent.

I wanted to share something in this post. I attempted to start a business at the beginning of the year that would have helped people across the nation and there would have been above average incomes earned by all who were aligned with me. I had to squash the idea because I did not have the money for seed capital or startup expenses. My business is time sensitive and certain actions must be completed by specific calendar days. That means I will have to wait until January 1st to attempt to do this again. This business will elminate the need for anyone who is aligned with me to exstinguish any desires to search for a work from home, high-paying (real) job that any web site can offer. Can anyone direct me to a seed capital operation who would listen to my plan and realize and consider me based on the plan? Currently, my credit and economic status will not put me in a position to apply for a loan.

Just wanted to thanks for the heads up on the rebate processing situation. A part of me knew it had to be a scam based on all the emails in my SPAM folder (thank you gmail!) Just out of boredom and frustration at my current job hunting problems I decided to click and read more about it. They really work on that enticing you and slowly pulling you in and such. But out of habit I did a search and found this and many other sites proclaiming the scam. Thanks for reminding me to keep my $197.

If you truly want to get into medical transcription check in with your local community colleges. Many of them have a program that also includes medical billing. Its also a more legit certification on your resume when you start your job hunting. I looked into this before and all the online programs I found were piece meal charges, for “special” equipment, training materials and career assistance. Most medical offices do their transcription in house or require you to pick up and deliver, they also look for a more professional certification. Several online Medical Transcription training programs are fly by nite and have bad BBB ratings.

Ooops… wordy and partly off topic. Sorry! Can’t wait to get to know more about this website and become a regular.

I also was looking at the Processfromhome site. I had actually found it recommended by the SiteReviewAuthority.org who recommended 3 sites as totally legit. It was recommended as the number 1 rated legit online opportunity. After reading all of the reviews on your page it seems even the people supposedly claiming to find the real legit online jobs are also scammers. Thank you so much for saving me money I don’t have. By the way the other 2 recommended where iSecret System and Forex Enterprises System. I haven’t found anything on them YET but I’m sure I will. Thank you again.

Thank you so much for the information, I have been trying to find work online so I can stay at home with my children. As it is now, I work on salary and only get paid for 40 hours but work an average of 60 hours per week. Any information on legitimate at home jobs would be great!!!

Good job!
Your are the BBB and the Consumer Report of the people

Did you know something about “shoptoearn.net”?
Thanks

Hello, You saved me $197.00 I was very suspisious so I googled “make money by rebates” and your site came up. The ProcessatHome.com Scam site is offered by Angel Stevens. It seems that Angel goes by more than one name. That little devil. Keep up the great work. Angelo

I have been researching a number of different sites that supposedly you will make money. It seems alot of them come up with the name of Angela something or other. Odd isn’t it. After researching them they were all the same scam with differest name. I also researched shoptoearn and I found severel sites stating its all a pyramid scam and you are definately not on top.

Hey Guys – even if you don’t “finish” the transaction they still got my money and the credit card company says Federal Law prohibits them from stopping transaction even if you call them to put a stop to it before it is completed .. ergo..”pending transaction” = it’s already a done deal!.. Send a written dissertation to Disputes and they will get back to you in maybe 6 weeks…

oh yeah there’s another scam to debate – fixing your credit card companies… yup I just can’t seem to learn can I? How dare my parents teach me fair play was a good thing?? — Thank guys, albeit I was late googling even though I did not “finish” the transaction with Angel’s promotion I am still $197 in further debt..

Thank you for saving me. I came so close. Keep up the good work. Plan on getting back here to invest in your ebook.
thanks again!!!

Thank you so much!! I almost blew $197 for Angel Stevens rebate processing information. I am glad I read this site!! Thank you again!

Thank You so very much for placing your bad experience, to save others hundreds of dollars. Do you know of any Legit honest online JOBS. Thanks Again and Sorry for your loss

I was able to get my money back from the Angela Penbrook site. I emailed them like 3 times and didn’t get a response so I called the 800 number and told them I wasn’t happy and I wanted a refund. I received the refund within 3 days. Thanks to this site I didn’t wait to long to try to get a refund. Thanks.

Sending you folks a big “MAHALO”(thanks)! Almost took the bait and my $197 would have been another case of catch and release.Just wondering if any of you heard of this home base business ReverseFunnelSystemPro.com.If so is this a scam as well!!

Hi All
glad i did some ground work awsome site got me thinking!You know its pretty sad to hear the lepers of the rebate prossessing underworld are doing so well i trust the bbb thats why they are their,like your selves to put heat on the scammers and the scums of the internet underworld.Remember the old addage BEWARE OF GREEKS BEARING GIFTS!!That Big ol Wooden Horse packs alot of manure,carefull were you step.Im a poor man and worked all my life if anyone thinks its a free ride wake up and smell the coffee.Do your homework and dont be so eager to throw your hard earned Dollors away cuz sure as hell some scum bag will try to relieve you of it!Hard work and Honesty will always prevale in Hard Times.God Bless!May Your Higher Power be with you all in your search for Honest Work.

Thank you for this website obviously if I am awake at this time of the morning and looking at adds to work at home: I can’t afford to lose $197.

Thank you dearly for all the great testimonies about Angel Stevens and all of the scammers like herself! Fortunately I did not get taken by her or anyone like herself! I do not buy or deal with the internet at all! I am too affraid of what may happen! Although I do want to work at home!

I have had offers from Ebay, Movie extras and the such, I am proficient on the computer! Have always been an entrepreneur who is not affraid to take calculated risks! I am very pleased and happy to hear others stories, so I can better inform myself with what goes on in the world of the internet!

As I said I do have extensive exposures with the computer! I have a great deal of background to share with any legitimate and upfront jobs available online! It is true, that noone should have to pay to make a decent income! I submized that the so called millions of dollars that Angel kept on bragging about, came from all of these fees that they charged! The amount of factuality and truth were nill or none at all! It so sad, that you cannot make a decent and honest income and have a decent living without someone or something trying to take it away from you! This site is very informative and very honest and very forth right!

If we honorably and Selflessly take serious pride within ourselves first and then for those who we love dearly, our spirits are clean, pure, genuine and sincere! Only then will we achieve greatest victory within life’s long and turbulent journey.’

Thank you dearly to Joe and Steven! Please keep me in mind of any good jobs online that you would recommend for me to do! I am a hard and dependable and focused person. Thank you dearly again! A colleague once said to me, are there any more decent, honorable and sincere people places and things anymore?

I have a fairly recent rebate processor opportunity email that came from Angela.A.Williams. The company name is called Process at Home. The ad is exactly the same as I have seen under the other names that were mentioned earlier. Thanks for giving us the truth about these offers.

It appears that Angel Stevens is now Angel Marie Santos. She is starting up a new scam where you start a web business and have free access to her many technical people who will assist you.

I was having a conversation with one of her reps and the rep slipped and said my boss “Angel Stevens” will talk with you after I’m done. Later, at the end of the conversation, she then said Angel Marie Santos.

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p hughes-snyder

WOW! About a year ago I was placed on maternity leave for 4mos due to complications from my pregnancy. To make a long story short, 4mos of low & close to no income really had me down and out. I was destitute, desperate, and searching for a part-time gig that wouldn’t require my off day -as I am currently employed-. I am so relieved that people like you take the time to research and deliver results in reference to SCAMS like these. Here we are the working poor, just trying to make a quick buck for food, rent, utilities etc, and these JERKS know how we feel, they know that we’re blood thirsty to rid ourselves of financial hardship and burden. Thanks to you (and that little disclaimer on angela’s website) I just saved myself 197.0!And her legal goons had the nerve to publish a clause about how “if you don’t have money to loose, then this might not be the sight for you. Of course we don’t have the money to throw away, it’s a double standard if we really think about it: How is it that througout her entire little stupid presentation she’s making mention and reference to people who didn’t have money for X-MAS, and people who need a little extra income, but then when it comes down to the disclaimer it’s like “oh if you don’t have the money to waste don’t do it.” What a load of crock! If we all had money to waste, why in the hell would we be looking for a way to make money? Why not just play the lotto or go to a casino, or gamble with dice? WHHHHUUUUSAAAH! Now that I’m done venting, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to what WOULD be a nice little extra income for a single mother working and going to school. Thanks again.

Hey guys,

You’re great…really you have saved us all from spending (flushing) our hard earned cash down the tubes. I had received one of these e-mails and thought it sounded too good to be true so I did some investigating. Your site and others clearly identify the scam here. It is always a good idea to check things out before giving in to “desperation”.

You provide a great service to the internet community.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!

OMG!!! Soooo glad I literally stumbled across your website! Yes, just like everyone else here I almost fell into that pipe dream of earning, not just extra cash but a lot of cash working online with these rebate scams! The old saying “if it’s to good to be true” statement fits these scams better than my glove to my hand! I swear, falling onto your site feels like I hit the lottery!!! Lucky, lucky me, because I never heard of you guys! I and I’m sure everyone here along with many more to come can’t thank you enough!!! You are in my favorites for sure, and I will be getting an e-book from you soon also! Please, please keep up the wonderful work you are doing!! You guys are saviors!!

Andre, I’m glad we were able to help you out. I tried to send you a free copy of our book because your comment was so awesome, but it bounced back to me undeliverable. Do you have another address?

Wow!!Thanks for this web site, I read the Angel Steve website, actually I was looking for a second job in “carrer builder dot com”, I am just married and I am mexican, new on the country I cant get me legal because I have not the 3000 dollards need to paid for my papers, my husband is working hard and I have the fortune on work part time with some friends and cant get another job because my “turist” situation,so, it seems pretty good offer to can work from home get money to applied for my papers and get a better job ( I have a enginner degree) I was driving all way from office to home thinking on it,thinking that probably it was a GOD signal, that I could do that, that I could get the money probably 1 or 2 months, I was even thinking that GOD put me that ad on front on my eyes, and i was willing to get my credit card ( which is full because still paying for a wedd reception). but I always been so exceptical on this make money fast and with out effort legally, so I found this web site.. Now I REALLY think this is what GOD put on my eyes, before make a decision I will be regreting for months. THANKS GUYS….

Thank you for letting me know the real deal on Angel Stevens. I received an email about making money processing rebates on line. I am actually looking to do something at home in addition to my full time job and this seemed like a good idea. Thank you for saving me 197 that i really don’t have in the first place. God Bless

Do you have any research on the Automatic Income System by Kevin Thompson. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me on this one

Thanks so much for the info. I went to “The Process At Home System” via sitereviewauthority.org. I thought I was doing adequate research but wow they even have review sites. It makes me sad that all of this cr@p is out there. I almost spent $197.00 on this lie. I’m considering buy your book because I do have experience building websites, but have no luck finding those ads on line. But like most people posting and probably reading, money is tight, thus the need to find outside income. Keep up the good work, I will check from time to time for any updates. Thanks

Dave, you have be careful with those “review” sites. Read these posts to learn more about them: http://www.ivetriedthat.com/category/watchdogs/

This site is a god-send! You saved me money, time, and fustration by giving the scoop on the process rebate scam (Angel Stevens was the name this time)at processathome(dot)com

“Find JOBS online” not “ONLINE jobs” *smacks head* now I get it!!! thanks for this site–definately on my fav list– can you please email me a little more about the info you are offering if possible? Sorry for being cynical, but I’m sure you understand…

Hi Rolanda,
Glad to hear we saved you some money. What more do you want to know about the info we’re offering?

has anyone checked out andrew gaswint out?…legit or not? Another rebate processing site.

Thank you Joe for saving me in joining this project. When i saw steven Angels web site and while i was going through it, it started hypnotysing me. I was about to spend 175 again i thought i will google it and I got and opportunity to go through your website. I fell form the nightmare. I really appriciate for it , I don’t have any words for your respect.

Regards
ranjeet

Hi Joe,
Just found your site…thanks for the reviews. I am so broke I squeak and don’t have money to waste on scams…I need work! I have two kids to support (9 years old and 9 months old) and I think these scams are pathetic! To take advantage of people like me who are down and out and desparate must take some big cahones! Thanks again, Joe. Sorry I can’t afford your book but thanks for saving me some trouble with those scams that make you believe you can get out of trouble!
Keep pluggin’
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer. No worries about the book! Keep an eye (or two) on the job listings under “Work at home jobs” at the top of the page. If you have some decent computer skills, your chances are good of seeing jobs there you can apply for.

Where can I find information on whether shoptoearn.net is a fraud or a scam since the company is now suing the blogger from http://www.everydayfinance.blogspot.com for reporting a flaw in the business math calculations and has made him take down his article?

Any information as to someone’s experience with shoptoearn.net is also greatly appreciated.

Thank you so very much for the information that you provided. I was saved the embarassment of losing 175.00 on well I know you guys know which program from an “Angel” I am talking about. I did read all the posts and am wondering a few things still:
1. Are there any legitimate jobs online that you don’t have to shell out any money for?
2. Anyway I can get a free copy of your book?? Didn’t think so but thought I would ask anyways…LOL
3 Thanks again for the information you have provided.
Kirk

I just got off the phone with my future coach/boss- NOT ( as I was busy reading the posts to this site). Thanks for the helpful info and keep up the good work!

Who is Alisha Mitchell and what is the PERSONAL COMPUTER TRAINING INSTITUTE?

Just a note. There are some (very, very VERY few) legitimate “online jobs” out there. I work for a company that mainly does (opt-in, I assure you) newsletters for businesses. Our employees are scattered all over the US (and two in India who do flash and website work for clients who also want websites) and we work online. (Sorry, we aren’t hiring at the moment – but next time we want to, I may come back here. I think my boss would have much better luck here than with Craigslist – where you can’t find a good job amid all the scams.)

We use one IM and email for communication between ourselves, and phone with clients. And we are required to be ‘at the office’ at certain times (depending on our schedules and timeszones). However, I lucked into that job, and I know/have heard of VERY few others like it. Not project work. Weekly paycheck (w-2).

Almost every other legit online job I’ve run across has been project work (which isn’t bad, either – I’ve done that too.) But projects end too soon. And then you have to find another.

I wish more employers would do telecommute work. With gas prices the way they are now, it would help a lot.

Hey guys,

If you were a victim of this rebate processing scam, ABC News and I’ve Tried That wants to hear your story. You can find more information in this post: http://www.ivetriedthat.com/2008/08/15/we-want-to-hear-your-i-was-scammed-story/

Please take a few minutes and share your story so we can work together to prevent anyone else from being scammed again.

Steve

Thank you so much for the insight! I kept getting these e-mails and had considered them (the one for $197, also). Yes, I went through and read ‘most’ of the ad and came across this:

“Here’s a recent screenshot of one of my earning statements (minus processing fees and a small percentage that is held in case I made mistakes)”,

I decided to research them and came up with your site and others that have done the leg work for us.
Thank you, again….

I was just doing exactly what you say at the beginning, bored and looked at angels site. I was put on alert when after all the glory glory there was a disclaimer about NOT guarantying an income. That’s when I found your site and read on. $197.00 saved. Also looked at the $39.00 one before coming to your site so really you saved me $236.00! Thank You for the good work. Bob

Hello all,
I can’t believe I spent the money for the Angel Stevens process rebates scam. However, I don’t see my story here- they are calling me often and want my husband involved, said they are looking for special candidates to groom for a testimonial on their website, and since they have to be honest they needed to make sure I was successful. Then they moved on to say I was being considered for a place on their “success team”. When they started asking about my financial situation, how is my retirement plan, how much credit do I have available to me, do I believe in spending money to make money, I knew it was crap. I would never part with information like that. Tonight they are calling me to see if I am who they are looking for and I was given tips on what to say to be “chosen”. Has this happened to anyone else? I may take the call for research purposes and report back. Please respond if you had a similar experience. This was really weird.

Patte, this has happened to others. You can read about it in the comments on this post.

thanks for your information if i didn’t read you information i was one of the victem about those sites
your information was very good and i decieded never trust to those sites

So here I am jobless and broke…That means I have no money to invest to try to earn money. What, if anything, can I do to earn money. I have some college, but no degree.and I have a lot of time on my hands because I HAVE NO JOB!

CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE TRUTH ON HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE???

Thanks a million to you all (incl the creator of this site- God bless you)for saving my hard earned $39/- and the heartaches later, because I was about to buy (on the Cindy Dalton site about Rebates Processing)and then, better sense prevailed to check and verify. I sympathize with all the victims who lost their much needed money. The scamsters unethically thrive through vulnerable people’s money and who are really in need of some extra income. What a pity! Exactly like some other wise reader on this forum thought ‘If they can pay $15 for a 15 minutes job why dont they hire someone at a much cheaper price and save their own money’. Also remember, never pay money to get a job!

[...] The site claims you will make at least $13 for each auction item you list. List five items, make $65; list 10, make $130. List as many as you want, make as much as you want, yada yada yada. We’ve seen this all before. [...]

uou just saved me 197.00 for not getting into the scam of processing rebates at home

Joe…Thanks to you and Steve for saving me a lot of disappointment, aggravation, and $39. I was this close to signing up for the Rebateprocessorjobs.com scam! The whole clickbank thing…I got suckered into that about a year ago…creating pages and getting paid when someone clicks on one of the product links on my page. Been a year since I tried it and stopped but still I haven’t seen a penny yet on the couple pages I created!

Any info on virtual administrative assistant programs?

Hi all! I need to ask Steve and Joe. Is there any real GOOD work from home jobs out there that you can tell me about? And the links that are on the site are those any good? I would really Love to have a job from home, BUT I do not want to pay for anything, I want to get payed myself for working of course!

Is this possible??

Thanks!

Hi Pennie,
Yes, there are real work from home jobs, but they’re not easy to find. And you won’t ever have to pay for them. If you’re being asked to pay for something, it’s not a job. What kind of work skills do you have? That might help us point you in the right direction.

Joe, I wrote you back through email. Thanks a lot!!

I didn’t get a message, Pennie. Try again: joe@ivetriedthat.com

Joe, I sedned it again, and I saw I just replied the other time so I was not yours, it was Steves email, but now I got it right I hope.

Thanks!!

God! My message didnt make any sense haha! Anyway, I hope you got my email this time!

Thanks!

I wish I had seen this site two years ago. The rebate processor thing was my first time spending money on a scam, but not the last. Thank yall so much for creating this site!

I’m really looking to do data entry from home. I can type 40 words a minute and would love to have some extra cash around. Please let me know if there is anything out there that I can do. Thanks Jennie

I am glad to have come upon this website by accident, it is imformative. I have had some medical issues for years and did not know how to get back to being myself but with support from my sisters, I feel it is time to get out of this rut. I was about to do the rebate processing because I was denied disability and I still have bills. I was going to use the little money that I get each month to start to generate mone income. I see this site and I will use it to help me improve my chances on doing something that will satisfy me and help me take of my family and myself. I will be buying the e-book instead to help me get started on the right path.

Thank you for having this site.

You just saved me $157 from Diana DeAngelo’s scam.

I have read all the comments and if some one could get back to me at toggleswich69@yahoo.com I would like to know how to make money online not to get rich but to make alest a descent income at home and if there is one i would be willing to put alot of time and efort into it. Ive tried all kind of at home “Deals” and have spent a lot of money trying my tought is that if a real work at home “Deal” wher to work then why make the person pay for the “buls%@t”…….”deal” and then inter say’ if it wher to make you money then I would pay them “whoever” the money after I made some money on the program, just to show me that it “whever it may be” really does work… i dont know maybe iam taking to myself here in short…….Iam looking for REAL WORK AT HOME JOBS so if there is somebody who can show me the way………………..toggleswich69@yahoo.com

a couple of days ago i purchase diana deangrlo,I messed up the web site and really dont know how to get back to her, so I called the support line and they answer and told her what has happen she got off the phone a few times and said it would come back on in 24 to 48 hours well 24 has went by and i am getting worried, bec we did not have it to give, but i seen some one written about thanks for telling about her please tell me Is there anything out there that is real???????

anyone out there have had problems with diana deangelo.

[...] Angel Stevens is one of the names associated with a less-than-honest online “opportunity” called rebate processing. Angela Penbrook is another of the names. (Some people think they’re both the same person/company, but hard proof is lacking.) We wrote about rebate processing and how their sites were misleading readers here and here. [...]

Hi Folks,
Remember the rumors about a 20/20 show on Internet scams? It airs this Friday, so don’t miss it! Read all about it.

I’m thrilled I came across this site because I was looking at this Process Affiliate Rebates site created by a Diana DeAngelo and I thought it looked sketchy, especially since it required a $157 to sign up. Yet, I was still considering signing up. I’m a college student and am just looking for a quick way to make money, preferably online, that would fit into my busy class schedule. Are there any known job opportunities to work from home online that are safe and legit?

is diana the old angela re-encarnated? same scam, different name? maybe somebody has checked into this? also has anyone tried pre-paid legal as a work for yourself biz? i just recently got into it, thought it couldn’t hurt..seems legit, but lots of recruiting, if you’re into that type of thing. it doesn’t cost any more or less than these rebate scams and there are plenty of people making a substantial income. REAL people, i know because i have met and spoken with some of them. i would appreciate some feedback. thanks

Just a darn shame that I come upon your site a day too late…
Yeah, I’ve been naive enough to think I could make some extra income with the rebate thing. I’ve paid, registered, and wanted to jump into it straight away. What a lot of CRAP ! The best of it all is that I’ve used whatever last funds I had available until the next paycheck.

I only have one question left – isn’t there a way I can promote your site to warn others to rather stay away from these sharks – and make some money in the process ??

Regards – keep up the good work…

what about maverick money makers..anyone heard of that one?

The Rebate Processing Jobs Idea was pretty crafty ill give them that. I looked into this program in Feb and I received an email from the richjerknetwork when i signed up. Notice “Hi, My name is Matt and “Insert Name” asked me to make a video blah, blah, blah” Angel Stephens uses MidPhase as a hosting service claiming it was the best hosting company out there on the internet. Also watch out for the Forex Scams

Bob

i am supposed to receive money inthe form of cashiers ck. or money order,(2500.00)i deduct 400.00 for 1st. wk plus 70.00 for gas a wk. plus a 2008 honda accord just to make myself available 2 hrs a day to drive around “grand ma” then the rest of the funds are for her expenses,lodging food ect. sounds like a scam to me but what do i know! do you know anything about this kind of job offer? many thanks for your website!glad i came across it before i spent a dime! your great!

Ray, if they ask you to send part of the cashier’s check back, it’s a scam.

[...] can’t believe rebate processing ads are still around. We’ve covered this topic in depth time and time again. Every rebate processing job ad is the same old scam: they are building up affiliate [...]

I have received a charge to my checking account in the amount of $158.26. There is no complete telephone number to call back only a 877 number which is not complete. How do I contact someone to retrieve my $158.26 charge which I have not authorized.

I joined Angela Pembrook’s program but lucky enough to get my money back. Also she has many aliases – Angela Stevens being one of them. Now I joined another “Work At Home Recruiters” which is an Auction Processors. I have a really bad feeling that the person’s name Emily Thomas and Cathy Brooks are the one and only Angela Pembrook – even if that is her real name. Read this:

The company, Auction Work at Home and Cathy Banks, do not appear to be legitimate. On the website there are 3 different addresses listed all across the US. The returns dept is in Utah, the address for Auction Work at Home is in Delaware, and somehow the terms and conditions of the website are governed by Minnesota Law.

I got one day’s training but when day 2 came along I was unable to download it. I never received any email from her and did not receive my software. There is no email contact. There is a toll free number that does not work on Sunday and if you call you get the same message that no one is available to take your call so leave a message. Well I KNOW no one will call. I feel I have lost this battle. Does anyone know if I could find out if all these names are of the same person? H E L P!!

Stumbled upon your website while researching a rebate processing site.

Steve & Joe, you both deserve much more credit than you will probably ever receive. You are truely doing a great public service. I only hope it is profitable for you both in some way. We need to have a site such as yours to refer to as a haven of authentic info about this wild internet that we all try to navagate without getting scamed &/or robbed.

Keep up the great work!! Have some medical bills to pay off first, but I intend to eventually get your book.

Sincerely, charles

I stumbled upon this website which makes a whole lot of promises. They want $157 to enroll in their program, and it says that there are a limited amount of spots available so “act now”. I am so glad I did the research before I spent the money. Thank you for putting this out there for the rest of us!!!

Be careful, I think she is going under another site http://www.processrebatesonline.com. They are not on the BBB as of yet, but the process sounds exactly the same only the price is $157. These come up on every job search site so beware.

Very nice article i hope and wish the FTC would step into the world of internet marketing and start shutting down these scam sites that prey on those who are seriously looking to generate honest income from home…so many people have been scammed its ridiculous….just do the research first and when you do a search for a business opportunity…go to your search engine and type that business name in and ad scam after it…..you will get all kinds of feedback….by doing that you will save yourself from not only getting scammed but you can see what others are saying about that program…….

Thankyou four helping i had it in my mind to give the job a try but i didnt.

Thank you!!!!! I see these from time to time and even sometimes have the desperate thought… “Well, if it turns out to be crap ‘X’ amount of money spent isn’t a completely devastating amount.” But the fact of the matter is whoever invents these scams up is rolling in dough due to the multitude of people who unfortunately buy now and find out the crappy truth later. They don’t care if you find a way to make money at their idea or not, once they have your money, that is all that matters. If you actually get out there and pound it, and possible make some bucks for yourself, you just put much more overindulgent icing on their cake. Its sad…. It has been noticed that humans are the only species that attacks their own, and scamming is the lowest form of human scum….

has anyone checked out andrew gaswint out?…legit or not? Another rebate processing site.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just got an email from rebateprocessorjobs.com. and was really considering joining. People must be gaining awareness of Their scam because now they have a “limited number of positions” left, so hurry and receive complete membership now for only $25.00. Then they say how they don’t know how much longer they can offer this for only $25.00. They do have a disclaimer saying in only one sentence that this is not an offer of a job. RED FLAG! So be sure and read all those disclaimers and terms of aggreement, people. Also in the terms they state they are not responsible for the affliate sites (huh?). I thought we were supposed to process rebates from major fortune 500 companies.

Glad this site was here, saved me from making an idiot of myself and losing 25 dollars, which i really need because i recently lost my job.

Andrew Gaswint site. This is another one of the “data” entry, rebate processor jobs out there and it NOT what it says to be. I paid $54 for this product and did not find out what it REALLY was until I paid and got into the “members page”.
I have requested a refund, and have gotten and response stating they do not offer them. I actually got the EXACT response twice. Talk about having a auto reply to refund requests!
DO NOT use this system! Not unless you have so much time on your hands it’s not even funny and you want to get your products to sell and post ads every place you can on the net!
I’m a stay at home mom of an infant and do not have the time for this! If I had known what it really was I would have never paid into it! Guess I need to do better research in the future!

Thank you guys for this site! I’ve never even heard of rebate processing till a listing popped up on a local job finding website. I’ve tried Googling the guy’s name but all I got were articles and such at various websites. He makes it sound so simple…but after reading all what everyone is saying, I’m glad I’m keeping my money. Also, has anyone heard of Keith Lither? Found this site on the same local job finding site: http://www.jobslegitonline.com. Read a couple of things that raised more red flags than a Chinese Pride Parade. Any and all info will be helpful! Thanx!!

I was interested in rebate processing from home and was checking things out when I found your site and had a question about the website listed above and wondered if this was a good site or not is says Andrew Gaswint is the number one expert in rebate processing and i wondered if you had any information about this person or website. I just do not want to get ripped off from what I have been seeing one has to be extremely careful I would appreciate any help on this matter or if you have any suggestions on legitmate sites for this type of work I would like that information

Joe & Steve this is my first time in you web and I almost got dizzy after reading all the problems with such the huge number of people that got ripped off with all this internet home based jobs, I am also looking for a real hme job opportunity so please email me i need information about your book.And thank you both for such a valuable information.

I wish I had come across this sooner… I paid the enrollment fee, thought I would be typing informaiton and recieving money like they “promised”.. NOPE so instead to just give up I spent 4 hours and sat through all the training materials and stuff and its a load of BS.. It doesn’t work at all!! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY like I did.. I’m so pissed off.. This website said they were BBB A+ and all this and that and I was stupid and didn’t research it… I just had a baby with needs that are greater then the usual baby and I can’t go back to work because I have to take care of her so I wanted to find a way to work from home.. Well its not going to work… They are a SCAM!!
