It’s Herbalife. Don’t even bother reading this review. Visit a different page. Just not TheOnlineBusiness.com because it’s a scam.
I started out looking for a J-O-B, and then I found this website. Now, I earn six-figures every year working from home. Oh yes, dear reader, you too can be earning over $100,000 from your home. It’s absolutely true. Wait, what’s that? You want to know what you’ll be doing to make money? Well, you’ll be earning money of course! Not satisfied with my answer? BUT YOU’LL BE MAKING SIX FIGURES FROM HOME. GIVE ME YOUR MONEYYYYYYYYY.
The above is an actual rendition of a conversation you’d have if you were able to contact the people behind The Online Business.
The Claims
Nothing new. For just $50, you’ll make tons of money sitting on your ass. You will collect thousands of checks working for yourself. That’s right. You send them money, they send you an “information kit” and you dance in the money that is literally pouring through your front door.
I couldn’t really find any information on what you would be doing. There was some mention how the business had over a billion dollar in sales back in 2005. Obviously, you’ll have to sell something but they never come outright and tell you that. I already know what you’ll be selling and if you read some of our previous reviews, you should know by now what it is as well.
The Truth
Surprise! Another Herbalife scam.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that Herbalife is a scam. The scam is that the guys behind theonlinebusiness.com, incomeathome.com and Online Business Systems are deliberately hiding the word Herbalife from you. Not only that, they charge you $50 just to tell you about the company! That’s it! You’ll receive a packet stuffed full of fake testimonials on how great it is to work with Herbalife.
This review is short, but I’m sick of talking about Herbalife. Read our Partner with Paul and Crazy Fox reviews if you want more information.
Don’t visit their website.
Don’t give them your email.
Don’t send them your money.

I do agree that it’s shady practice of Online Business Systems to do what they’re doing. I don’t agree with it at all, but I do have to say that Herbalife as a company is an outstanding company with great great people involved. I never had the chance to meet Mark Hughes, the founder, but I have met Dr. Heber and Dr. Jamie McManus. I am a part of Leslie Stanford’s team under Chris Carley. I went to an Extravaganza and met so many wonderful people. I was invited to a house party and got to see first hand how much they make. I’m not trying to start anything here, just would like to say that Herbalife the company is awesome!
Yep. I would always hear during the commercial breaks on the Mike Gallagher radio show about “IncomeAtHome.com.” I actually thought that was the name of the company.
Mike Gallagher was talking about what a great company it was and how “there’s no cold calling, no telling marketing, no selling soap to friends, and no door to door selling.”
So of course I was interested, having been in Scamerica, errr, Primerica. (And I had been in Primerica for 2 years WITH a securities license).
I paid the 10 bucks for the dvd about the “business” and it goes to a second part where you put in a code and it gives you the run down of how the biz works. I was cool with everything. The guy in the DVD even tells you “You don’t have to be the guy that shows up to every family reunion and everyone hides from you because they think you’re trying to sign ‘em up for something.”
I was happy hearing that. But then at the end they get down to the nuts and bolts. YEP. It’s M.L.M. You have to recruit two people and they give you a bunch of health products to sell when you first get started. You pay $199 start up fee (just like Primerica)and they send you a bunch of product. Once you sell the herbal life products and recruit two people, THEN you get to use the online and radio advertising means.
I HATE M.L.M.
I am always looking for a way to make extra money. I found & signed up with a company I am very satisfied with!
Anyone interested is welcome to email me!
Thanks, Mysti
I am interested in what website you found to make extra money.

This is hilarious. There is a get rich quick scheme advertised on radio called IncomeAtHome.com
Just for kicks I went to the site. Absolutely nowhere on the site does it say what their product is or what their company does. It just promises to send a package of info when you send them $39.

Hilarious, Mike. Thanks for posting it. You’d think they could be a little more creative with their scripts, no?
Wow, I am glad I found these reviews. What really gets me is that the well known radio personalities that are endorsing this scam. Well, I know one thing this company did for me… saved me $9.95 in shipping because I ain’t ordering.
geeeh i did order mine hehe ……i ignored the fact that it lacked information on the website, to later realize that online business systems is essentially a back office operation of herbalife
the biggest scam ever. first 9.95, then 39.95 then 399. then they wan 5,000 to go directly to supervisor.
hi, I have read the following comment from the writer above,: Mysti
” I am always looking for a way to make extra money. I found & signed up with a company I am very satisfied with!
Anyone interested is welcome to email me!
Thanks, Mysti”
If you are there Mysti, could you please tell me urgently what you found to be satisfying? I am really desperately looking for a way to earn big online. Please help, I am being scammed one after another since year 2001. Thanks. (Perhaps the answer to my question is that there really is no way to earn online. Can anyone please help?). Please dont use my email address- if you can post your comment to this site, it is better.
Mysti – If your still available I would love to hear about the company you where happy with!
I have NOTHING against Herbalife products. I have been on them for two years and feel great! I DO have issues with Online Business Systems. I bought into the whole package, almost $5,000 worth. YES STUPID! But I believed in the hype that Tanya W was giving me. I am still with Herbalife and sell to my many satisfied customers, but, OBS…Run! OBS is out for OBS. Not Herbalife! I still can’t believe that Herbalife lets them represent them. They are a Rip-Off!
I am now dealing with the reprocutions of my actions by submitting my $10.
I then had buyers remorse and thought I should find out whom I am giving my money too and just investigate more. Well, there is NO contact info. given up…this is always a bad sign, I found it in the “privacy” section at the very bottom where you would think to find out what the terms of privacy are.
Also, they don’t disclose to you that it is HERBALIFE which you will be representing. Why do companies do this…simple, bring in the suckers for a measly $10 and then $40 to return there goods and they’ve pocketed $50 x how many suckers….you get the idea. I realized my misjudgement in making this non thought out decision and immediately contacted them after they called which by the way is a human being but reading from a script. I indicated I wanted to cancel my order and she would pause but then carry on with the script. The have recieved my CANCEL this order via email and then sent a second email asking to reveiw my decision to give me more info and by the way, we sent you the pkg. already. I bet you did! Now, if this was a legitimate company they would have said who they are and what they do and how to find us. If you were a displeased customer and they wanted to keep you happy even though they wanted to make a return immediately, they would have taken back the item and made it right for the customer. End of story. Customer happy no bad words. PLEASE, don’t be a sucker like me and give them your hard earned money. This to me is how they make theirs by poor suckers like me.
actually if you look at the income disclosure it does tell you it is Herbalife … i did a little research before making the commitment. Now i just gave them $199 and i don’t know for what. Have my next interview tonight at 730pm;
I ordered this only to realize afterwards that it was a scam. Does anyone know how many stamps I need to send it back?
