Title: Google, ebay, yahoo "make money kits"
Post by: Taintedbloop on December 26, 2007, 04:40:57 pm
Ive done quite a few of the offers that are the kits to make money on google, ebay, etc where you start your own website and its a free trial. But i noticed.. almost all of these sites look very similar in their layouts and offer a membership trial to "tradeworks product club" as well. Ive done it once and it wasnt a problem.. but what about the other ones? If i do those as well, will i be signed up for that same tradeworks product club, and since i already did the free trial, it might charge me..

has anyone else noticed the similarity between all these "kits"? it seems like its from the same company, just different types of kits. i would do the rest of em, but im not sure i wanna risk getting charged $50+ just because i did a similar offer by the same company.

no, you do not get charged. i've done a few.. now there is a few that are from the same advertiser also... those ones will tell you when you try getting the trail that you have already done the trail... like i did a google one. but then when i tryed ebay one. it said i already had done the trail due to joining for the google. so ether way you won't be charged as it lets you know you've done it n can not get the trail. then asks you if you still wish to join without it :)

I am also weary about signing up for anything that requires a credit card. As it is.. it seems like my mailbox is flooded every single day with offers for stuff that I am just not interested in, but unfortunately had to sign up for their mailing list in order to get credit on another offer. It's totally insane. And.. there are quite a few that I finally requested to unsubscribe from their mailing list and I STILL get emails every day from them.

The best advice that I've seen on here is to get a pre-loaded credit card.  It's like a gift card with a certain amount, but it works like a credit card.  They are available at a lot of retailers.  That way, you only load onto it the amount that is actually required to send to the company, and bam, if there's shady dealings, they can't get anything else b/c the card has nothing on it.

I see the similarity in a lot of them, which is never ending.  A lot of them use the same formats over and over again.

This is a really good idea.  I never thought of it.  Thanks  :notworthy:

Haha, don't credit me, I'm just passing along what I heard.  I'm trying to do the credit required offers as little as possible because of complications with my address.... the mail doesn't like to try to find me, so my chances of actually receiving anything I sign up for are slim.  Once I get it figured out though...

I noticed the samething. Me right now i'm more interested doing free offers. They don't credit not a big deal. If a paid offer end up not credited when you actually spend over $20+ that's a huge problem :BangHead:

None of these offers will complete for me. I put in my card information, & it says declined every time, even though there IS money in the account  :bs:

perhaps you did a similar offer from the same company?

Check their web address on lookup whois domain and you should get some corporate info about their domain registrant data.

Stealth, I have never done an offer like that before.

Besides, even if I had... surely it would give a different message than "card declined"!

Make sure that the name & address you are entering for the offer is *EXACTLY* how it appears on your credit card billing info.  I worked for a major bank for several years and that was the biggest issue we had w/ calls about declined cards -- credit & debit cards.

feverish,

I have been having that same problem on the amazon web site offer! I tried it once with a debit card, so I figured that was the problem, but I tried it with a credit card and it said card declined on that as well! I figure with mine it might be an address matchup glitch, because I have an apartment number on mine, and because the offer only has an "address 1" line, it might not be matching up with my billing address? Let me know if you get it figured out!

I am always leary about paying for any opportunity to make money...heard too many horror stories!  I don't have money to waste trying to make money...if I did I wouldn't need to make money!  HA HA

I haven't noticed but will look closer and see what is going on. I have wanted to do some of those things but have been leery about them.

These kits (most of them) are just selling you information that you can find on your own. They tell you how to earn money from things that you can do on your own like, signing up for adsense. Don't want to put any offers down -these kits can be helpful if your not comfortable with using the internet or, not quite as knowledgable about running/hosting your own site.

I have looked at those also. They look the same. It seems that you better be dedicated to these programs for what they charge.

I read through this string because I have been wondering about them as well. One suggestion I thought was great was the prepaid credit card.  I think I will try that because I am leary of using an active card for anything I am not really sure about
Title: Re: Google, ebay, yahoo "make money kits"
Post by: sheliawheeler on April 26, 2009, 08:55:22 pm
I thought the prepaid credit cards did not work with these offers.  I read on one of them in the rules and policy section where it had to be an actual credit card.  Not sure if I'm ready for these offers. I'm just a newbie.  :-[

I have been searching for ways to make money at home.  These kits sound great however, I have noticed a monthly fee to be paid after you pay for shipping and handling.  They call this a free kit.  I don't understand how it can be free and charge a monthly fee.  If I had the money to pay the fee right off the rip, I woold not need to make extra income.  LOL The other thing I have noticed is if you don't read the terms and conditions and hit to cancel an IM boc pops up and when you ask it a question it gives you the same response.  When asked "are you a real Person" it reads I am a real live virtual person. What does that mean?
Title: Re: Google, ebay, yahoo "make money kits"
Post by: queenbubu on May 21, 2009, 06:39:27 pm
Make sure to cancel within the terms of the policy or they will charge you like i got charged $47... so make sure you cancel within the terms.

Post by: xkrystlex on May 29, 2009, 02:03:02 pm
i have always been super skeptical of those kits....they always say, never do anything that you have to spend your own money to start....and i listen to that rule.

I got one of those kits  :bs: ....just what do you do with it?  It wasn't very clear how to set up and stuff...I'm not very computer/internet savvy and it was/is very confusing...anyone got any info on that? ??? I mean I got the banners and stuff, just what the heck do you do with them? :dontknow:

So how does this "make money kit" work anyway?

I've never really ordered one of these things, but I heard they're a scam..Personally, I think if you cancel the credit card thing in time, it won't charge you a dime..(pun intended :D)

Anyone here tried these make money kits?

I was interested in getting the ebay kit until I read the fine print.  Are they crazy asking for $39.95 a month after the trial period?  You have to read the TOS.

ok, thats good to know.. but im still weary about joining them ..because one of them charged my credit card AFTER i cancelled (i even had cancellation numbers and name of employee)  i called the company and they admitted it was a "glitch" in the system. fortunately, they refunded me. but it seems shady to me. the charges were from that "tradeworks product club" thats included.

i always write down EVERYTHING. the day i started the offer, cancelled it, whom i spoke to, any confirmation numbers, etc.. has anyone else had any problems with these companies?




so just put on your card just the amount it cost,so they're only be able to take out what's on the card.

never use a credit card on those websites, most of these make money kits are scams, and you have no chance of recovering your $$!
if you do decide to go with it, at least do some research and see if they are business accredited.
good luck  :)
