A shill from the company just posted this at my blog:

"Anytime someone builds one of these pages claiming to be some sort of consumer informant I am always skeptical when I see that he has no review opinion of what is actually inside the members area. Paul is simply a guy who sits at home all day eating crackers in his mom’s basement finding out ways of driving customers to his own product while bashing other peoples products that he himself has never purchased..NOTICE that Paul never mentions any review on the actual product itself and that’s because Paul never actually buys the product itself, making his opinions completely irrelevant. You can bash on marketing techniques all you want Paul, but until you have actually seen what the product is how can you claim the marketing of the product as being misleading. That’s the equivalent of being a food critique without actually taste testing the food. Your claims of being a so called “online consumer informant” are just as deceiving as the unfounded claims you make about the products you put down to promote your own self interests."

I checked his IP - he was posting from Lehi, Utah. Surprise, surprise. lol.

What exactly is the product you are pushing? I must have missed it? lol.

What exactly is the product you are pushing? I must have missed it? lol.

There are a few products I sell on the site - I try to keep things free or very low cost. The most popular one is $47 which is at least 106 times less expensive than their scammy $5000 - $7,000 coaching programs. Not to mention the fact that I make them go through a video that tells them it's going to take work and time - not just going around "posting links".

Thanks. I've made myself oblivious to online advertising. lol.

Speaking of clumsy attempts at shilling on behalf of Income Masters Institute, has "Richard" unwittingly let the cat out of the bag as to his true identity ??

Paul Schlegel identified "Richards" location on WorkAtHomeTruth.com (http://www.workathometruth.com/income-masters-institute-scam/)

Which, coincidentally (or not) just happens to match the IP and initials of one or all of the gentlemen mentioned in this Better Business Bureau report into Income Masters Institute (http://www.bbb.org/utah/business-reviews/computer-software-services/vensure-international-in-lehi-ut-22291579)

Well, they had gone back to using Online Profit Masters for a couple of days - now they are back to Income Masters Institute - as I see the notorious Newsdaily7.com site is now pushing that.

HeHe, "NOTORIOUS" is certainly right:

...and reborn again as Home Profit Masters. I did a blog post at Real Scam here:
Home Profit Masters Scam - Welcome Back Phillip Gannuscia! - Blogs - RealScam.com - Is it, or isn't it? You Decide. (http://www.realscam.com/blogs/justtoomuchtime/43-home-profit-masters-scam-welcome-back-phillip-gannuscia.html)

I finally noticed that his sites and probably hundreds of other link-posting scam sites are using the testimonials found in this FTC complaint (http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/0923122/090625penbrookproductionscmplt.pdf).
