Moral Dilemma...Are all ClickBank products scams?

by Rudolf Faix 9. June 2015 11:44

ClickBankAt the base of every site with unimaginable offers or news, we locate a disclaimer of ClickBank - a surely understood "get rich quick" scammer supporting organization. This demonstrates that ClickBank knows which sort of subsidiary advertisers they have and which items they are retailing. For me is the disclaimer as of now a demonstrate of the scam:

ClickBank is the retailer of products on this site. CLICKBANK® is a registered trademark of Click Sales, Inc., a Delaware corporation located at 917 S. Lusk Street, Suite 200, Boise Idaho, 83706, USA and used by permission. ClickBank's role as retailer does not constitute an endorsement, approval or review of these products or any claim, statement or opinion used in promotion of these products.

As ClickBank is accepting the cash, they have to separation themselves from the advancement. An advancement like this is in US and in Europe enforceable by law. The fines for deceiving advancement is higher than such an organization can ever procure, ClickBank knows this, the items and they realize that a deceptive advancement is utilized to offer this items, For this they are giving such a disclaimer and trust, to the point that it will keep them free from any approvals before the law court case.

A posting found at Digital Point describes the products, which are getting distributed by ClickBank very well:

Moral Dilemma...Are all ClickBank products scams?
Hi Guys...I want to make money like the rest of the world, but I have a real problem scamming people...It seems that every product that I've investigated on ClickBank is a scam. I currently do some sales with a weight loss product that is not a scam, just a lot of common sense, but my question to you guys is if there are some products on ClickBank that actually do what they advertise?
I'm not looking to steal your products, but if you can just give me some general ideas on where to look because I must be missing all the legit products...And I just don't have the money to buy sample products of everything...
Thanks...

Certainly is that he won't get the answer "yes" in the discussion. No scammer will tell without anyone else's input that he is scamming. In such a case ClickBank could close as of now years prior. They have conveyed some of their great scammers for discovering a few contentions against the theme. That improves, Their disclaimer shows as of now that they know, what is getting sold.

The methods of ClickBank in not paying their affiliates are described very good at Is ClickBank a big SCAM? and at Did clickbank scam me? Their methods making money are very well described in the last page of Is ClickBank a big SCAM? There has written the member with the name thuthuatwordpress:

  1. Based on the Clickbank rule, an "Inactive" account (no sales within the last 3 month - counted since the last sales made) would be a deducted 1$ fee for maintain and after 6 month of NO sales, 5$ would be deducted every week and much more until your account comr back to zero, even negative number!
  2. Based on the withdraw policy, you need to have 5 sales and 3 of that MUST be from a mastercard and 2 of that must be from visa/prepaid card. yes, TWO forms of payment, if you had 5 sales and all of that from a mastercard, in this case you will not be paid.

The rule about the dormant accounts got changed already, but it looks more to be a robbery than a serious rule. See it by yourself at https://support.clickbank.com/entries/23761401-Dormant-Accounts:

Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant. Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90 days of no earnings, $5 per pay period after 180 days of no earnings, and $50 per pay period after 365 days of no earnings.

The second rule got found at https://support.clickbank.com/entries/23776493-Customer-Distribution-Requirement:

ClickBank will withhold payment of any balance until an account shows a minimum of 5 sales using at least two of the following payment methods:

  • American Express
  • Carte Bleue
  • Diners Club
  • Discover
  • ELV (European Direct Debit)
  • JCB
  • Maestro
  • MasterCard
  • PayPal
  • Visa

This requirement is in place to help prevent Affiliates from abusing the ClickBank Affiliate program by using their accounts for the sole purpose of fraudulently collecting rebates and/or discounts on their own purchases.

Once you have met the Customer Distribution Requirement, your account will begin issuing payments normally, in accordance with our Accounting Policy, beginning on the next payment issuing date.

That has nothing to do with keeping associates far from misapplying the system. They are situated in the U.S. furthermore, realize that almost everyone has a ton of installment cards. So that does not by any stretch of the imagination forestall something. It is just another sort of profiting!

Accurate this rules are as I would see it nothing else then a legitimized SCAM on the grounds that they have composed it into their business rules!!! Somebody, which acknowledge such standards is blameworthy independent from anyone else. A genuine organization won't make such scam rules!!!

Fraud & Scam

Scammer: getcashforsurveys.com - Survey Partners Worldwide, LLC

by Rudolf Faix 9. June 2015 11:08

GetCashForSurveysUnbelievable offers are coming from getcashforsurveys.com. Like everywhere where the earnings are getting promoted is the product nothing else than trash and the offer only scam.

Following the Link given to getcashforsurveys.com is not really suggested, because even Adguard warns from this site:

Adguard has blocked access to this page

This web page at www.getcashforsurveys.com, has been reported as a phishing page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Adguard has found that this page may be a forgery or imitation of another website, designed to trick users into sharing personal or financial information. Entering any personal information on this page may result in identity theft or other abuse.

At the earnings disclaimer from getcashforsurveys.,com you can read that each promotion from their site is nothing else than a dream. We are far away from a serious promotion because they are promoting the earnings, which can be done by using their system, instead of promoting their products.

Earnings Disclaimer

EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO ACCURATELY REPRESENT THIS PRODUCT AND IT'S POTENTIAL. EVEN THOUGH THIS INDUSTRY IS ONE OF THE FEW WHERE ONE CAN WRITE THEIR OWN CHECK IN TERMS OF EARNINGS, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL EARN ANY MONEY USING THE TECHNIQUES AND IDEAS IN THESE MATERIALS. EXAMPLES IN THESE MATERIALS ARE NOT TO BE INTERPRETED AS A PROMISE OR GUARANTEE OF EARNINGS. EARNING POTENTIAL IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON THE PERSON USING OUR PRODUCT, THEIR IDEAS AND TECHNIQUES. WE DO NOT PURPORT THIS AS A "GET RICH SCHEME."

ANY CLAIMS MADE OF ACTUAL EARNINGS OR EXAMPLES OF ACTUAL RESULTS ARE NOT TYPICAL. YOUR LEVEL OF SUCCESS IN ATTAINING THE RESULTS CLAIMED IN OUR MATERIALS DEPENDS ON THE TIME YOU DEVOTE TO THE PROGRAM, IDEAS AND TECHNIQUES MENTIONED, YOUR FINANCES, KNOWLEDGE AND VARIOUS SKILLS. SINCE THESE FACTORS DIFFER ACCORDING TO INDIVIDUALS, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR SUCCESS OR INCOME LEVEL. NOR ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF YOUR ACTIONS.

MATERIALS IN OUR PRODUCT AND OUR WEBSITE MAY CONTAIN INFORMATION THAT INCLUDES OR IS BASED UPON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

THEY USE WORDS SUCH AS "ANTICIPATE," "ESTIMATE," "EXPECT," "PROJECT," "INTEND," "PLAN," "BELIEVE," AND OTHER WORDS AND TERMS OF SIMILAR MEANING IN CONNECTION WITH A DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL EARNINGS OR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.

ANY AND ALL FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS HERE OR ON ANY OF OUR SALES MATERIAL ARE INTENDED TO EXPRESS OUR OPINION OF EARNINGS POTENTIAL. MANY FACTORS WILL BE IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING YOUR ACTUAL RESULTS AND NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE RESULTS SIMILAR TO OURS OR ANYBODY ELSES, IN FACT NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE ANY RESULTS FROM OUR IDEAS AND TECHNIQUES IN OUR MATERIAL

At the affiliates website is written how you earn really a little bit money. You need only to find a stupid one, which enters into the MLM system and continues promoting the offered services from getcashforsurveys.com:

We are offering a $50 bonus for a limited time to all new affiliates who promote our offer. Keep reading for details.

You may of seen a lot of Paid Survey sites in clickbank in the past, but you have never seen one like this! You can earn a massive $148.50 per sale! We have a front end price of $74 with 2 downsells, and we also have 2 upsells.

With extremely high conversion rates, very effective email campaigns and attractive graphics that are proven to draw clicks; promoting GetCashForSurveys.com is practically guaranteed to make you some great money!

WE PAY 75% COMMISSION. Earn up to $148.50 with every person that you get to join at GetCashForSurveys.com

As getcashforsurveys.com named above already the service from clickbank is the disclaimer for ClickBank not missing. In my eyes is this disclaimer already a prove for a scam. In this case the prove for the scam is found already in the earning disclaimer, which declares their promotion already as misleading. Maybe  they found no other payment provider for their scam offers.

This bonus offer has been created by the applicable Vendor and not by ClickBank. Accordingly, ClickBank is not responsible for any information contained in the offer, including, but not limited to, any product information, promotions, incentives, expected returns or other information contained herein.

Fraud & Scam

Scammer: takesurveysforcash.com - A Typical Pyramid System

by Rudolf Faix 9. June 2015 09:01

A mind blowing offer of $9,045.50 every month has been going ahead LinkedIn to my consideration. Common is that such offers are finished by pleasant young ladies, with no data in their profile, maybe a couple bunch participations and with less then 10 contacts.

TakeSurveysForCash.com

The offer from takesurveysforcash.com sounds pipe dream, which are typically not genuine. They are propelling that you can get for filling surveys. Nobody will pay you for filling studies, they are simply assembling your data for offering them in the best case. Headway goes into the masses and no association likes to get the supposition of only an unobtrusive bundle people, for this they are not prepared to pay you gigantic wholes for adjusting a couple studies.

Another issue is, that nobody will lift a way to deal with procure like a CEO if he not oblige your money for this salary. By examining the takesurveysforcash site, then we find the inspiration driving why they are spamming the interpersonal association regions - it is their auxiliary framework. That is the way how the people from takesurveysforcash are gaining money with their stunning progression.

How to earn really with takesurveysforcash.com is written at their affiliate site:

EARN A MASSIVE 75% ON EVERY SALE! UP TO $78 PER SALE!

If we take a look into their disclaimer, then we see that the promised earnings are not really true:

Earnings Disclaimer

EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO ACCURATELY REPRESENT THIS PRODUCT AND IT'S POTENTIAL. EVEN THOUGH THIS INDUSTRY IS ONE OF THE FEW WHERE ONE CAN WRITE THEIR OWN CHECK IN TERMS OF EARNINGS, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL EARN ANY MONEY USING THE TECHNIQUES AND IDEAS IN THESE MATERIALS.

MANY FACTORS WILL BE IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING YOUR ACTUAL RESULTS AND NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE RESULTS SIMILAR TO OURS OR ANYBODY ELSES, IN FACT NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE ANY RESULTS FROM OUR IDEAS AND TECHNIQUES IN OUR MATERIAL

If you read their disclaimer, then you'll see that their promotion is misleading. With other words it is nothing else then scam.If they would be really based in the European Union, like Scamadviser likes to guess, then the promotion would be a case for the law court and the above disclaimer would not help them.

A serious company is proud about her name and reputation and does not need to hide herself behind an anonymizing service. Only criminals need to hide themselves.

Scamadviser says about takesurveysforcash.com:

Low Trust Rating. This Site May Not Be Safe to Use.

Nice from clickbank is that they have written their own disclaimer on the website of takesurveysforcash:

Lusk Street, Suite 200, Boise Idaho, 83706, USA and used by permission.

Fraud & Scam

Scammer: click4surveys.com - A Typical Pyramid System

by Rudolf Faix 9. June 2015 07:16

Click4SurveysBy taking a look at the promotion I ask myself why someone goes for work a full month, if he can earn more then average within a few hours of work? An offer which sounds too good to be true isn't true. It is in the most cases only scam or fraud. The same situation is with the offer from click4surveys.com. They are promoting that you can earn for filling surveys better than a CEO. Promotion goes into the masses and no company likes to get the opinion of only a handful people, for this they are not able to pay you big sums for filling out some surveys.

Nobody will promote a way to earn like a CEO if he does not need your money for this earnings. By taking a closer look at the click4surveys website, then we find the reason why they are spamming the social network sites - it is their affiliate program. That is the way how the members of click4surveys are earning money with their unbelievable promotion:

Product Price
Front End:  $97 -  downsell to $34  -  down to $19 
Back End:  $197 -  downsell to $67 -  down to $37
Extremely High Converting $7 Rebill (low price means they never cancel)
These can be LIFETIME commissions.
Earn Up To $183 PER customer in total!
Affiliate Earnings: 70% Commission

This example shows us how important it is to read the disclaimer, which is normally very small printed. We find an answer at the end of the site, where is written in the disclaimer: "span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The typical purchaser does not make any money using this system"!

This site and the products and services offered on this site are not associated, affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by Google, ClickBetter, eBay, Amazon, Yahoo or Bing nor have they been reviewed tested or certified by Google, ClickBetter, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, or Bing. The typical purchaser does not make any money using this system. Click4Surveys.com does not guarantee income or success, and examples shown in this presentation do not represent an indication of future success or earnings. The company declares the information shared is true and accurate.

As the site is U.S. based we find at the end of the website a FTC disclaimer, where is written, that the person found in the testimonials/endorsment got paid for publishing their opinion. This show us already the fake:

FTC disclosure: The persons found in the testimonials/ endorsements on this page have received monetary incentives to publish their opinions about Click4Surveys. These persons were part of an initial trial group that received free access to the Click4Surveys program along with monetary payment for voicing their opinion about their experiences.

As the above warnings are not enough, click4surveys has one more disclaimer,where is written that there is is no guarantee that you will earn any money:

Click4Surveys.com Earnings Disclaimer: Every effort has been made to accurately represent this product and it's potential. Even though this industry is one of the few where one can write their own check in terms of earnings, there is no guarantee that you will earn any money using the techniques and ideas in these materials. Examples in these materials are not to be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of earnings. Earning potential is entirely dependent on the person using our product, ideas, techniques and the effort put forth. We do not purport this as a "get rich scheme."

Low Trust Rating. This Site May Not Be Safe to Use.
Site is United States based,But The Real Location Is Being Hidden

Alert Result: This website has been listed as having malware.
Alert Result: This website is 1 Years old

Some additional comments from other users are found at the site of Scamadviser too. The most of them have the opinion that click4surveys is nothing else then scam.

Conclusion: It is a typical pyramid system with the touch of MLM/affiliate marketing. Only the people on the top are earning.
