I was tricked recently by this website Psp successnet . I saw the advertisement about making money form home. I immediately decided to apply for a kit .R obert Allen was very convincing .I gave them my account number hoping i will get the kit to get started ,for the past 6 months this company has been taking out my money without even given me a kit . I decided to contact them ,but my attempts were futile. I had to cancel my bank account . I realized that this company is engaged in fraudulency. In this time of recession they are stealing money from the poor . Thieves will never prosper ,and if the church is not with God it will fall . Your time is short . you will fall . Do not rob the poor to get personal gain . I am appealing to others out there do not fall for their trick. Remember there is a God who is beholding all things on his earth.

Google actually has nothing to do with it. The scammers are just using their name. Try talking with your bank or credit card and see if they can reverse the charges.

THIS IS SUCH BS. I HAVE BEEN CHARGED FOR MONTHS FOR THIS CRAP. I am VERY disappointed in Google for proliferating this type of FRAUD. Underneath is all GOOGLE is nothing but a money hungry group of greedy people. It makes me sick.

Prosper University is in conjunction with Robert Allen. The one who promised to make $24,000 in 24 hours but over succeeded that amount and made something like 93K instead. This prosper university is where you go to learn what Robert Allen teaches which is endorsed by him as they work hand in hand.

Here is the page from the Better Business Bureau concerning this scam… oh, and believe it o not, they have an “A” rating with the BBB. (This page lists several websites, DBA names, executive names, contact information and so on.

Be aware that Prosper University/Success Network of Denver Colorado has more than one avenue through which they conduct this scam. Yahoo and Google have also been hit by this scam, which means it is likely that other popular sites are likely to be used.
My husband checked into the work from home kit through Google and, in spite of his refusal to permit his credit card to be charged monthly, he had already given his credit card information. The charges first showed on our banking statements as “TSN Prosper University” with a charge of $39.95. My husband attempted to research the transaction without success. The second month we were charged the same amount but the payee was listed as PSP* Successnet along with the 800 number 888-783-7260 and the charge showed that it was linked to my husband’s credit/debit card. My husband phoned the number and a woman answered who informed him that the number belonged to a storage facility and that she had no knowledge of any business transaction through his credit card.
I entered the given telephone number into the Google search engine and the response was link after link of complaints about the scam involving Prosper University.
I did another Google search for successnet.com and found two possible culprit websites: successnetwork.com and successnet.org. I checked the two sites against the information I had found through the given toll-free number and discovered that the successnetwork.com site was the one associated with this scam, although the other website doesn’t appear too appealing, either.
Rather than going through the hassle of attempting to communicate with the people behind the scam, I simply called our bank and canceled my husband’s credit/debit card and requested that a new one with a new number be issued to him. That means I will have to update his card information with the legitimate companies with which we do business, but I believe that this way will actually be simpler than trying to argue it out with the scammers.

Prosper university in concert with twitter is a scam. By paying for the cd at 3.98 you agree to be charged 49.98 per month. This is not spelled out in the offer but when your bank account gets hit you’ll be pissed off. Cancel this backdoor operation immediatly.

I guess I got duped… I signed for twitter cash and I opened my e-mail and found 93 new e-mails all seem like spam. I do not want to send spam nor receive it. What should I do beside calling the number provided to cancel?
Thanks

You are right Deborah, I do believe that there are legitimate ways to make money on twitter. However, in my opinion, when an opportunity is too-good to-be-true, probably 7 out of 10 of them are scams.

I noticed that Steve has other entries on his interview with the founder of Twitter Cash. Will definitely follow up on that!

Steve, you just found yourself another loyal follower =)
