Top Rated Site of the Week:

Absolute scam

I got suckered into this obvious scam by the promise of 20,000 visitors and the fact that they have a guarantee which seems too good to be true. I began trying to get my money back which was an extremely long and painful process with no point. Not only did I never get my money back, but I received phone calls that I did not before. I believe they share your personal information, but I cannot confirm that. This is a complete scam. They will steal your money and you will get nothing but headache from it.

Don't waste your money or your efforts

I joined as a Certified Media Placement Specialist, only after it was recommended to me from a marketer I was familiar with. I figured he wouldn’t steer me wrong…boy was I blind! I scraped up the little bit of money I had to buy it and purchased. After it arrived, there were quite a few pages to go through, no big deal, I’m a reader and studier. I read the manual, and was just to the end, and I called in to get the next step – my level one Media and Advertising Coaching session. I was told I had to read the entire manual and get the domain name, business cards and send out Mailers. I read the rest of the manual and called in, only to be told by this “Coach” that I had to sink another $1200! I was floored.

Their persuasion comes in when they try to get you to buy, but you are not sure, so they tell you about paying you back the money you invested. When you receive your book, they give you this Congratulations certificate, saying “This certificate confirms your participation in the WE-PAY-YOU-BACK PROGRAM. You complete the 14 steps, proof of them being completed, and you’re pretty much in for free. You then speak to a Level 2 Support Representative, and allow them up to 4wks to finalize the process. But then again, they try to upsell you to another high priced program with more money.

I lost credibility for the marketer I knew for so long, and forget any credibility of what these so called “coaches” were telling you. They even talked up how hard a life Mary Gersten has had and how she is trying to help so many people. Save your money and the stress you burn trying to get it back.

Please don't waste your money!

I came across this site while trying to earn a few extra dollars. I know you have to spend money to make money (as the saying goes). So I decided to order the package. When I received the package it was a lot of information to review. It took me a long time to get started for nothing. I never made any money and every time I called they were trying to sign me up for other programs. I already was having a hard time financially and now I just lost more money! I wouldn't recommend this program to anyone! I was so unhappy, not to mention the relentless phone calls!

Total scam, ridiculous phone calls

I got caught up into this scam without knowing the consequences. Stupid me, I paid the flat out price for platinum member. Then I got a call asking for $5000 if I wanted to get 20,000 promised visitors. $5000?! That is such a ridiculous price. I rejected it and hung up. Within the next couple of days, they kept calling me and calling me, asking me to sign up for different sites and spending more money. I told them I was not stupid and to leave me alone. Eventually they stopped but they called one more time in which I did not answer and they left a voicemail. I did not call back. This site is not worth it. I only got two affiliate links just like everybody else. That is not worth the price I paid. I did not make any money at all. Stay away from these sites!

Just a scam

I decided to join ‘’Global Cash Flow Network’’ because they promised to refund my money after one year if I was not pleased. I was very disappointed. I think this is just another scam. They promised websites. I discovered that they were actually affiliate links. So they would make money from my work. After a while I got a phone call from their customer support. They asked 5000$ for 20,000 targeted visitors. Think they just want to take money from people? I read their agreement and found out that I have to pay for any further ‘’information and education’’ I would receive from them.

I would not recommend this to anyone.

Instant Pay Increase ( Global Cashflow Network)

I have just recently signed up for this program and I have to say I have been impressed with the amount of information that has been presented to me. I have learnt more from Mary than I have from the several other programs that I belong to.

I am using the media placement methods and have had quite a few visitors. Once they get to Global Cash flow then you kind of lose them so I use a link that has a pop up opt in box to also gather information for my own links. I find that even though they may not sign up to Global Cash Flow network I still get their information and with this particular Autoresponder they receive free marketing Info which they can cancel at anytime.

Mary points out that it is not a get rich quick scheme and does take time to get the process in motion. Yes there is a lot of sales pressure but no more than the bazillion other offers you receive daily from the other marketing gurus. I have had several phonecalls from the one marketer that I have repeatedly said not to but they never let up. Internet Marketing is a very competitive Industry and there are lots of pushy people out there. I have not been paid from this company yet but I have received so much valuable information that I will see results from my other programs using these methods. I didn't just jump into the upgraded options because I like to see if I can make the program work at the bottom levels. Sort of putting the L plates on.

Well I am going to stick with this program for a while and if it proves to be disastrous I will let you know. My outlay will be $67 so not too much to gamble.

Very Well Done Scam

I got scammed by these people under the Global Cash Flow Network name. I figured out too late after they got me for $6,495 for their Ultimate Traffic System. I bought the horse manure on Ripoff Report about them, but you notice there are no complaints after 2007, but you look on sites like this and blogs that there are very recent complaints about them. My brain couldn't digest that charge, so I'm in the middle of trying to negotiate my money back. I think on some level they think I'm still swallowing this crap. I never did anything with the websites or anything else. The talk with the "Level 1 Media Coach" put me off, it was just a complete set-up. It looks so great then they lead you into this with no idea what's ahead and you get sucker punched with a huge added cost. So, don't trust Ripoff Report, they lie on these people's behalf. Complain to your Attorney General and every agency you can complain to to get your money back.

90 days of losing money

I joined the Global Cash Flow Network in June and paid $173 for the manual and have two websites. They didn't say anything about a $95.95 charge in the initial website information. I signed up for the $77 deal. When I called them and asked about the money they said it was to set up the Websites. When I decided to cancel on or about July 20,2009; they sent me an agreement to return that stating that I could continue to use the services and would not be charged again.

The 24th of July they took out $67 from my account. I called them on the 7th of August to cancel and request my money back. They sent me another agreement containing the cancellation terms and that I would get my $67 back. I returned agreement on August the 7th. On the 18th of August, I called them again to see if they received the agreement back, they said yes. Then, on August the 24th they took another $67 out of my account. When I called them on it, they said that the first one was sent to accounting for review. On August 28th I contacted them again about both charges. They said it was in accounting and that it would take 7-14 days to get my money back.

On Setember 9,2009, I contacted GCFN again, the woman I spoke to said she had no control over it and I was not very nice and told them I wanted my money back by September 30, or I would be contacting my attorney.

Today(September 22) I noticed they had taken another $67 out of my account this month. I immediately called them to find out why and they connected me to a supervisor. He then told me he would send it to the accounting dept. as a "hot list" item and nothing more. I proceeded to tell him to connect me to accounting and he said they do not accept calls from outside the company. I gave them till the 30th of September to give the $201 that they have taken out over the last three months that they agreed not to take out. As of this writing I still have not received my money back nor heard anything to give me the indication that I would get my money back, let alone by the 30 of September. Needless to say, I notified them that I would be calling every day and that they would not get a favorable review from me. They are liars and thieves and I should have done more research on them before committing to do business with this company. I have also kept a record of all phone calls and agreements to date.

Scam, Pure and Simple

One day I received a phone call from Global Cash Flow Network, but I was confused at first because they named a good site that I had joined 6 months ago and I really like. After 10 minutes of conversation, I finally realized that this is another site, but I decided to give it a try because:

1. A full refund after one year trial

2. As a platinum member they promised to build two sites for me.

So, I joined as platinum member for $319.

Soon I received a package with a big folder (about 500 pages) with poor black and white quality Xerox tutorial and agreement and a W-9. The same day I received 3 phone calls from them - they wanted me to fill out and fax those form ASAP, so they could activate my sites.

I was disappointed at first when I saw my 2 sites (that they promised to build for me). It was affiliate links, so all my time and effort that I would spend to promote these sites would bring money and traffic to them.

I put some banners and articles on my sites to make them a little unique and monetize them and started to read their manuals.

After a couple of days I received another call from their customer support - they offered me another Magic program 'The Ultimate Traffic System'.

Now they promised 20,000 targeted visitors for ONLY $5000??!

After a 15 minute conversation they lowered the price to $2500 but to get this deal I should act immediately. They guaranteed that if they fall 1 visitor short in my 3 month campaign, they will rerun my traffic Campaign at no cost to me!

I asked if they have a written guarantee but they said they will send it AFTER I pay.

I refused to pay until I saw the contract, so finally they emailed it to me. When I read it I just laughed. See for yourself:

This is just a small but VERY IMPORTANT PART of their agreement

".. And the best part is you're about to get started with the "Ultimate Traffic System" right now... plus, your bonus visitors will start being directed to your site in short order.

... I realize I will receive my start up materials, step- by-step instructions, and tutorials revealing all your trade secrets that will show me how to generate leads, traffic and build a business. I agree to pay for this information and education and as a BONUS to this education, you're going to give me the designated amount of visitors in the quarter along with access to your Global Direct Mailer System so I can learn by doing instead of just getting "book smart" without real world experience. In fact, this additional bonus could give me an even greater potential to double or triple my earnings potential and is one of the unique methodologies for creating more leads and potential sales. Of course I realize that just like with every legitimate business there is still risk and anyone who says they "guarantee" me success is full of it because my success depends on me properly executing the training and education you'll give me..."

Wait a minute! That means they will send you another huge manual and those 20,000 visitors is just a bonus?!

So I called the sales rep and said I don't want to work with dishonest people and I want my money back or I will file a claim thru my credit card.

Also I got 3 or 4 phone calls from other sales rep about the same 'The Ultimate Traffic System'

The next week I got 2 phone calls from them - they offered another (THE BEST) site, that I would be trained by person who had personally trained Mary Gerston.

The price was the same - $5000.

I don't know how many total sites they have. Probably they have an army of aggressive and well trained sales reps and customer support people who don't care about you but only about selling you something.

Please, don't join this site. This is a SCAM, pure and simple!

Instant Pay DECREASE!

Instant Pay Decrease tells you that you can make 400 dollars a day. This site is a complete scam. You do not make very much money at all. Don't be like me and fall for it! Do not waste your money on this. It is confusing, boring, and incredibly frustrating (not to mention incredibly hard to make any money!)

Global Cash Flow Network

THEY GOT ME. WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T LET THEM GET YOU TOO!

You have to apply 14 different marketing methods and prove to them that you did in order to get your money back. I asked before I joined what the 14 things were and they told me I could only find out by joining.

A BIG red flag should have gone up right then and there, but I stupidly trusted them and joined only to find that some of the 14 methods would cost way more than I wanted to even think about. Here are some of them:

"8. Place classified ads in local and regional papers driving potential prospects to Global CFN's experts so they can help me have the opportunity to make more money."

"11. Get my own Domain Name."

"12. Get Business Cards for my business."

"13. Send out at least 100 Mailers."

"14. Do Pay per Click Traffic - Get Targeted Visitors to my site."

Whenever I called them about anything, they always tried to get me to join one of their paid advertising programs and even tried to set it up on a payment plan!

(This is the first time I have seen the name "Instant Pay Increase" for the company. I found it in here by searching for "Mary Gersten" after first searching for "Global Cash Flow Network".)

Mary Gersten? You've got to be kidding!

I don’t like negatives, so I am going to make this one my last and as the category suggests this ‘online opportunity’ isn’t bad, it’s ugly … so you need to stay away from this one, if only for the protection of your money. If you only want to learn how to place media (send emails, postcards, printed advertisements, post cards, etc.), then only spend the $250 to learn how to do that. But do not spend the extra thousands that the ‘media coaches’ say that you need to spend to really make money. I spent a total of $3,000 with Mary Gersten only to make a whopping $100. Mary Gersten’s media coaches are only there to talk you out of your money in order to pay for a brand new building full of ‘media coaches’. In short, set your money on fire. At least you will get warm by the fire.

Most sincerely, Dave Carlson

Just Starting w/GCFN

I am very glad I looked this up and hope that I can still cancel. I found the Global Cash Flow Network via the "megatypingonline" service. They told me that they contacted me based on there relationship with MTO and offered me a free phone consult. They sold me on a gold lvl upgrade status and it sounded real good to me. I have not received my start up kit yet and am hoping I can now cancel.

They told me if I placed 1 different type of media advertisement per month for 12 month that I would be guaranteed at least $10,350 and If not I could cancel and they would pay me the difference.

They promised me all the coaching and support I would need and would guide me to my product/niche and how to incorporate sites like squidoo, clickbank, and paydotcom into it.

Oddly enough they actually referred me to this site as a way of checking out there legitimacy which I find very sneaky in the first place.

However based on this review I highly doubt I would ever see that now.

Disappointed

I am with the CMPS or Certified Media Placement Specialist program.

Great sounding title but it has not made me any money.

I signed up for the full Platinum Package and got 2 fully functional automated websites with 800 numbers for interested prospects. They have advertised the websites for me and I have had over 5,000 visitors but have not made a single sale. I am from the old school and believe that even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while. But it seems my squirrel has wandered out into the desert and is probably doomed.

Chances are anyone else would have the same results as me so I would not advise trying to make a buck with this crew. They have left me very disappointed and disillusioned.
