Biz-Opp Description
AGM International is a biz-opp that offers to help people make money at home. The company claims that people can earn up to six figures with their business model. This business model consists of you promoting a mall and earning 5% to 50% in commissions for every sale that you refer. You’re supposedly given training, support, and the all the tools to run your own business.
Detailed Overview
AGM International is one of those home based business opportunities that offers you the tools to set up your own online store. From my experience, most of these opportunities are of little value or downright scams. In this review, you will find out if this, too, is one of a very few companies that are legitimate, and if they really deliver value.
AGM International tries to sell you on a $1000 business package. The biggest package they have to offer is $20,000 and each one comes with a different income guarantee. Once you pay for the package, you are given software and a web shop with a line of products to sell. What exactly you will be selling is very ambiguous at this point.
Unfortunately, the company is a complete and total scam. Customers are asked to pay using their bank account rather than through Paypal or by credit card. It seems like the company only accepts wire transfers so that they can scam people. They have a fake address posted, and they will also never answer your emails.
Reputation
In final, you will do good to stay away from AGM International. It is a fake storefront designed to scam consumers out of their money. The packages they sell are very expensive and worthless. You never get any commissions for your efforts, get a business coach as promised, or any support from their staff.
If you do a little research using the search engines, you’ll find reports of customers being scammed. There is even a cease and desist order because they are violating the business laws and they’ve received complaints in the state of Maine. If you’re looking a legitimate business opportunity, browse IMReportCard to find honest reviews.

I lost 850$
I love selling products for commission and I decided to join AGM International. Unfortunately I discovered that it was a big scam. I lost 850$ and I never got any online store or products to sell. I liked the fact that they had 24/7 support but when I called nobody answered. They are providing a fake number. They are very misleading. I thought that I will get an online shop and support. I had to go to my bank to make them stop charging from my credit card. They were taking every month 120$ from my bank account. I recommend everybody to stay away from this!

A bad loss I've encountered
AGM International is definitely a scam, like the review says. Unfortunately, I joined when they just came out and I gave it a try because I really like selling products and receiving commission. Online stores seemed really powerful. I spent $1000, and after that I received no items, no online store, and bills to my bank account.
Yes, AGM International describes itself so well that when you feel scammed, you feel like something has ruined your life.
Apparently they had a 24/7 support, so I contacted them through phone. What really came up was, 'this phone number is not valid. Please try again. ' That means they used a fake phone number.
Desperately trying to get my $1000 back, I reported this to the bank. However they said I agreed to a contract, which means that I couldn't get the refund. Just like that, AGM International was gone. This is a complete scam. Don't fall for it.

My biggest internet money loss
It was more than eight months since I stumbled upon AGM International. To date I regret spending money on that scam. The site gave a lot of claims that were absolutely not true, like getting a shop with everything needed for it. Back then the offer definitely drew me in and I made the 650 dollar investment. I was thinking that everything is legit and I will start making a lot of money thanks to the site. This was one of the biggest amounts I have lost from an online investment. I not only wasted my money but also a lot of time. I was not able to make a single cent. It was obvious to me at that moment that this was a scam and I was ripped off. I tried contacting the customer support but I did not receive any reply. Another bad thing was that I gave away details of my bank account and got charged the monthly fee. This was definitely the worst experience I had with any product. I don't know whether the site is still open or not, but I will recommend you to stay as far away as possible.

The worst scam ever!
I remember coming across AGM back in 2004 when I was very new to the world of making money online. I was promised my own online shop with tools and support and all I needed to do was invest $650. I was so excited as this was supposed to be my first online business. What a waste of my time and money that was!
I never made a dime, there was no support and no matter how many times I contacted them I got no response or replies. Worse off I used my bank details and they kept charging me an additional $120 a month maintenance fee! I had to close my bank account and open another one.
I think they have now been closed as loads of people complained about them. But whatever the case don’t even look at their website. It's a total rip off and scam.

Scam! Scam! Scam!
AGM was one of the first companies that scammed me. Back in 2001 I became an affiliate with them and paid them $650, they gave me instructions and files to download, but they were way too big to fit on ANY hard-drive at the time. It was ridiculous, and I think the files were fake anyway. I contacted them for a refund and they never responded until a year later, when they emailed me about ANOTHER business opportunity! Yeah, right! Don't trust these guys, they are scammers. I definitely wouldn't recommend this trash!

AGM super sucks
AGM sucks! I really regretted to have dumped $2000 on them and in the end I get back nothing. Not even a single cent! Customer service is horrible! Took weeks to reply me, and when they replied to me, they didn't even know how to give a proper answer! I guess they don't know what is going on with the company! This is the worst investment I ever made in my life. Keep your hard earned money inside your wallet, don't let them take your money and enjoy at the beach side or fine dining!

Pretty Expensive But It Pays Out
I have invested about $1,500 in this company and I must say, to this day they have never disappointed me! You need lots of money to just start off with a basic package with this company, but you can earn your money back pretty fast and free of hard work. Then you can also upgrade to the advanced account and membership which will also increase your income and online earning. I tell you this, this is one of the 'earn big' companies that I tried and it's one of the few that really worked and paid off. From the initial investment, you will get the company software, plus a web shop with a complete line of products which you will need to start going and keep going for a while, and enough to bring your money back and even with great profits! The good thing is that it comes with a money back guarantee! So there are really no risks as far as I can tell. I recommend this to anyone who wants to earn big!
