I was attracted by K. Scott program on her website. But I really know there are a lot of scams on the Internet today. So before I go into it, I like to do some research on the Internet see if someone else has comments about it, negative or positive. I googled " Personal instant cash system, K scott" and found this website. So I think I get more useful information from all of you guys. Now I will be waiting Isabella25's response for showing her website and then make a decision.
My advice is before you take action, always do some research and see what other people said, which is more useful and reduces the possibility of wasting your money and time.

this program is THE worst scam I have ever come across, $97???????
geez, this one really takes the cake. Why even bother spending the money to lock the information? I wouldn't give this information to my worst enemy for FREE!!!!
Isabella you should be ashamed of yourself. Your probably the person behind all this rubbish.
I might add it's also ILLEGAL to fake testimonials.
Good Luck in court, I tell you now there is enough pissed off people you will pay big for this.
BTW Isabella, I do not believe for a moment that you have a 16 year old daughter.
I might believe however, your the 18 year smart *** GUY behind this scam. You just remember, what goes around comes around!
And I'm mighty glad I don't have to live in your boots when that day comes around!

nightfox, very wise.
It took me a little while to figure it out that you need to do ya research.
I found this website by doing katherine scott scam hehe.
The absolute best information I have found online that teaches you properly how to start an online business is a corey rudl product.
I am now finally making money online. It's quite some hard work but after trial and error for the past 3 months this system actually works.
And i sure grinned from ear to ear the day I saw money arrive in my clickbank account.
email me if you want any more information on his products, I might even be able to slip you a thing or two that i've learnt since that are helping that bank account $$$ rise some.

I'd be happy to tell you a few more bad scams out there that i happened to be foolish enough to buy as well. Now my guard is completely up!
I refuse to be fooled again!
Thanks for everyone who's made a post about this subject, its so important that we make other people away of such frauds!
Here is the site I got up and running 10 days ago. AND ITS AN HONEST BUSINESS. The only way I truly like to make money! http://www.anxiety-panic-free.com

ok, im so tee-ed up on this conversation i must make another reply.
Nobody's sites go down for anymore then the 2 minutes that it takes to upload your new information. ESPECIALLY when they MAKE you money. (I know this FIRST HAND)
Yet more proof "isabella" is just a scam too.
As for god bless, I hope the gods come down and bite you on the bum for this one!
Taking advantage of people in a vunerable position looking for just a little glimmer of hope where money is concerned then you come and rip every last cent!

Eum ... i beleive that isabella is a fraud ..
first when we asked to see her website ..the one that she bought the hosue of her dreams and cleared her debpt with she said that its under construction and she will not show us any bank statments or prove how much she making.. i believe your website isabella is the k.scott website ..thats why your defending it so ..
you know what i almost bought the hole thing but its so scammy ..i mean make 1000 a day deposited right into your bank account and it doesnt even tell how you gonna make that money .. ovious .. so before buying i go look on the net for info on the program .. and i find like 100 sites saying that this is fraud ..
didnt find any sites about success stories like yours isabbella .. so if you really wanna help the product . . well you should prove your story .. might help other people believe you

The one thing that puzzles me the most is how Katherine Scott's site and all the emarket promoting sites can stay up. With all the people who have been ripped off. What do we need to do to have them taken down?

Just to add fuel to the fire, check out the reply i got from emarketprofessionals the other day. Funny thing in this all they say after their review they wouldnt give me a refund. HOWEVER I never even got in to telling them WHY i wanted the refund
<here is the e-mailI received>
Thank you!
After reviewing this claim, we will not be issuing a refund at this time.
per the terms and conditions that was agreed upon by the customer at the time of purchase.

I'm glad I read all the postings about katherine Scott's program. I was considering a purchase now I definitely will not. I am actually doing just fine with the business I have been doing from home right now.
posted March 21, 2005 09:04 AM
One thing for you all to keep in mind is this: Only ONE person has come to the defense of K Scott. That is proof enough for me to say NO WAY! If this were a true money maker i'm sure that more then one person would be praising it the way that Isabella has. If, and this is a big IF, she did purchase the product and make money maybe she is one of the exceptions but there is one question she never answered.
Someone asked for a phone number for customer service and she never gave an answer (or so i didn't see). SO, if isabella is still around, please give us info of how to get ahold of these people besides the internet site. There has to be some sort of contact besides internet to reach them. If you can't supply this then i'm sure this would be a scam according to the US Governments site of "how to spot a scam" (PO box addresses, no phone number, only recordings when called).
I tried doing a look up for rosecorp but came up with nothing specif to you. Is your website up and running? Can you give me the complete web address? thanks, Suzanne
quote:Originally posted by Isabella25: The K. Scott program refers you to E-Market Professionals, but you arent required to go through them. With that company, they set up an account for you, they register your site, and host it for you, and give you access to a really awesome site editor free for 30 days. None of the costs are applied until well after you're making money, and even when they are, you'll see how much of a deal you're getting. If you need a product, they can help you find one with full resell rights, or you can search for one on your own. You can even have them build your site for you. So, you're not spending much money at all, but you can be as successful as you want to. It's all up to you. And like I said, you dont have to go through E-market, but its nice to use them because they offer everything you'll need including traffic to your site. If you go and check out E-Market and think its too much money like I did, just go search around for another company that will offer you as much as they do, and you'll be suprised at how much you're saving. its definitely worth doing.

Hi, late into this discussion. I just saw the site and posts. First, I'd like to say that a 1)phone number would be appropriate for customer service before anybody buys anything. 2. Samples of the websites that are involved with this program so we can see what is being done and promoted and by whom. 3. An explanation about the whois information 4. A scratched out check with proof of income received from this program.
Isabella, where are your websites? Show something you have online that we can look at! So far, all I have read is words that just seem to justify the program so it is not discounted as a scam.
You can just say that you don't care but the truth is, your arguments seem to have the purpose of placing information on this board so that others may not question the validity of your program (or theirs as you state it).
It's common practice for many people involved in scams to post rebuttals on boards. Otherwise, they're out of business as words spreads fast on the Internet.
Anyone with a sound mind should do a search on google as I did before investing $97. at 10 purchases a day, I can see how a scammer can make $970 a day and get rich, refunding only the loudest complainer.
The other thing is that the web site seems to be in violation of the FTC by promising the possibility of earning $1,000 a day.
Such claims are easily argued in court in favor of plaintiffs. The FTC would be all over the owner of this service for such claims. There is no business address or contact information on the page and the entire sales page has been expertly designed to give people the impression they are dealing with a single mom. Please.
The page also seems to appeal to people who are in financial difficulties. From the posts here, I don't see anything about the ATM deal. Whatever happened to that? The sales page makes no mention of site builders, of being transferred to another site, about hosting pages, etc. None of that is clear.
Even if this business is legimate, which I don't think it is, it is full of holes. The money guarantee means "nothing" as there is no way to verify your track record of refunds and to whom. Bogus.
Money guarantees only mean anything when they come from an entity with no verifiable contacts.
I think this is a scam of the worst kind because it seems to be very well-drafted.
Everyone here probably wants to make $1,000 a day, some do with Adsense, ebooks and other online items. I suggest they post pictures of real people, ugly or not, who cares, real contact information and web sites and totally clarify what it is that people will get for the $97. Not just the promise of someone helping. Also do away with the hoaxy (only 3 peoplemax) offer.
Everyone knows that's a marketing gimmick.
Scammers usually target people who don't take the time to think through things and sometimes we fall for it. But I think you've run into a very smart group here. So if you make money and expect anyone here to believe you, then prove it.
If you can't prove anything, you're just wasting everyone's time. I for one, think this whole thing to be a big scam. I also think you're probably the person behind it.
But that's just my personal opinion. Has anyone gotten a refund?
posted March 29, 2005 05:51 PM
I am yet another victim of this scam. Is there any number i can call from Australia? Do these people keep withdrawing money from your account once they have the details? I feel like a complete idiot, for someone to do this is just unforgivable. People are going to these sites because they are broke or need the money, just to find that they are loosing more money?
Where can i find a way to get my money refunded? is there someway of getting it back?
I guess this is a lesson for us all, money is only made by working hard, it's unfortunate but now there seems there is nothing we can do but hope these people come to a fateful end.
Please if someone can help us get our money back?!

Zmoney, I hate to hear about your experience with the Katherine Scott program.
But, if you don't mind some candid feedback, let me offer this: if you don't have any money and are only $100 from having no food in the house, what the heck are you doing trying to get into a home business?
I don't know what it is about the home-based business industry that makes people think that they can become successful without investing something into the process.
I think it comes from hearing stories like Dani Johnson's. I think she offers some great training. But when you tell a story about how you were homeless, living in a car and then became a financial success in MLM....
....well, for every one who's done it, I'll show you 5,000 who fell on their face.
Folks: if you're broke and about to lose your house, you don't need a home business. You need to go get a job. Earn some money, get on your feet, save some money and THEN get involved in something that will make you successful.
Or, to put it in a nutshell, if you're only $100 away from not having food in your house, then you have no business getting into a home business. You need a job.
quote:Originally posted by TonyRush: I don't know what it is about the home-based business industry that makes people think that they can become successful without investing something into the process.
I can tell you. it's all the hyped up ads that claim you can make thousands in your first 30 days (or 60, or 90, fill in the blank). Ummm, Tony, no offense, but take a look at your own sig line. $15k in a month? Are you saying the average person can earn that if they have the right ad? I'm not saying you didn't make that, you probably did. But your not some newbie off the street either. all these ads and sales letters try to convince people that it's easy money, when most of us who have been there know darn well its not. (not saying it's not possible, but unlikely for someone new to the industry) When a person is in a financial pinch and they see an ad claiming they can make $_____.00 in 30 days, heck yes they're going to jump on it. Too bad most don't know that it's not the whole truth. I'd like to see some ads that tell the whole truth. "You can make $15,000 in a month IF you recruit 20 reps and/or sell $50,000 in products." That would sure prevent people from jumping in with their last $100!

No, I'm not. "Average" people never achieve unusual success in anything. That's why they're "average". But, if you're asking me if someone can earn that kind of money if they're coachable, trainable and willing to work like I did.....yes, I don't see any reason why not.
The biggest reason why they won't is because -- like you -- they don't really think it's possible. I did.

Again, I'd say it depends entirely on the person. I can introduce you to a guy I recently met named Michael. He'd never been in a home business before. He got started here and made $19,000 his first month. He did more than $100k in his first six months and made over $250k his first year.
Does everyone do that? No. But, then again, I'm not suggesting or saying that everyone will. I'm simply saying that we have a heck of alot of people who come here and create the kinds of incomes we talk about.
Whether someone will/can do it is going to be entirely a matter of whether they can follow a proven system and do the work. Mindset is also a huge factor.

That would sure prevent people from jumping in with their last $100!
That's a fair point. But, let's be honest: isn't most of that automatically understood? Do we really have to spoon-feed and babysit these people's logic to the point that they need to be told that work is required?
Actually I agree with you. My ADS don't go into that detail but you can visit either of my websites and find that we make it abundantly clear that this business isn't for weenies or for people who want something for nothing.
But, all of that aside, I'll still stand my original point: if someone's only got $100 before they run out of food in their house, they don't need to be answering home-business ads no matter WHAT the ad says.
They need to go get a job and get on their feet financially. No one is going to get wealthy in a home business by throwing $97 at someone's website to buy a "system".
And that's a very different scenario than what I'm promoting. We promote the idea that you CAN achieve large success. But it's not going to happen by just buying someone's ebook and waiting on money to land in your bank account!
posted May 06, 2005 08:26 AM
Better! love the new sign line. lol
I totally agree that people shouldn't be jumping into a biz op if they have that litte money. but that's my point, all those ads on the net, infomercials and print ads have them thinking that it really is possible to send in a fee, get an easy site set up and wait for the money to roll in!
No, I don't think we should have to spoon feed logic to them, but I do think complete honesty would be good. I've listend to overview calls for several companies, LL, Mela, Ameriplan, MIM, Herbalife, and I think a couple more. Know what they all had in common? They made it sound Oh-So-Easy to make big bucks working only a few hours a week. It's repeated over and over that all you have to do is "refer others" - no mention of buying advertising or leads, no mention of working large numbers with a high rejection rate, ect. They tell you that after you sign up. lol If they were really honest, they'd have fewer sign ups, which would be good, because then the drop out rate would be alot less i bet!
BTW, i'm making it sound like I'm anti mlm, which i'm not. It's a great biz model, but i wish all the hypey, deceitful stuff would go away, it diminishes the industry .
posted May 06, 2005 01:09 PM
LOL -- I thought you might like that.
Most home-business presentations are designed to talk about the opportunity, not the "how to". We do 29 live guest calls every week but we try to cover everything we can in 17-18 minutes about the company, the product, and the opportunity before opening the lines and letting someone ask some questions.
But, there's really not enough time there to go into great detail on all that's required to build a business. When we do our post-presentation call, we go into detail on what needs to be done to create this kind of income.
Having built MIM for about 16 month, we did the same exact thing there. The presentation isn't designed to be the "be all/end all" of collecting information.
That's probably why you don't see more presentations that focus on all those subleties and nuances. Most of the time, the presentation is just covering the broad strokes and the prospect gets their questions answered on a personal conversation with the person who invited them.

Hi Isabella baby girl I believe you ... but I have a question what is Katherin Scott or E-Marketproffesionals inc. telephone number? Because, I've been wanting to try it but I've been hearing so much bull **** about it that it make me more skeptical so please let me know was up, what do you have to do is there a product or somthing ? I just need some more info about it before I try it because the web site is'nt telling you much? any ways how much are you making a day now? and how much were you making when you first started? how long did it take to make the money.

I have just been reading that K. Scott's money maker is a fraud. Is this indeed a fact? The reason why, I just bought it last night. I can't believe it. I thought since it said that she wasn't even keeping any of the money from the purchases of her programs and giving them to charity, that it sounded legit. MAN, I hate it. Who can you trust? Have any of you bought it, if so, were you able to get your money back? A sorry fish who took the hook, line, and sinker! By the way is it ok that I am a guy and not a mom?
posted June 02, 2005 06:29 AM
Where the F did Isabella disappear to? I was really looking forward to seeing her site. What a freakin sham! When you have a site that is making money you don't take it down to work on a new one, you design a new website and then upload it in the middle of the night so you don't have any downtime.
There are so many suckers here that I can not believe it. You guys are tempting me to start my own MLM. Now I know why Tony Rush is here so often replying to posts and plugging his "scam"... this is fertile feeding ground for MLM hucksters.
Develop, market and sell real products people! All these MLMs are scams. If you product is just a scheme to recruit more people... to pay a fee to recruit more people... to pay a fee to recruit more people...then you are involved with a scam that does not contribute anything to society. Worse yet, for those of you that think you are actually doing some good for people... you are hurting far more people than you are helping.
is there a way to get this message board to email me when someone replies to a thread?
posted June 13, 2005 11:49 AM
Are you people for real? It IS a scam... no IFs, ANDs, or BUTs. PERIOD. For you that don't know, you don't have to put your REAL name even on WHOIS registration. You can put fake names there as well. Whoever set this thing up made up a Reverend's name to hopefully keep people from suing or whatever. There is no KS, there is no Julie.... phone numbers are bogus....
It could be a guy OR girl running the show, and Isabella (the name) doesn't exist. It's just the same person who owns that website )personalinstantcash.com) who is posing as someone else for damage control.
FACT: IF the system worked, then you'd see WELL more people saying it works rather than "I called and they wouldn't help" or "I can't get a refund" or "it's been 30 days and they still haven't replied"... hello, people.
Why is there even an INKLING of "IF" it's a scam. It IS a scam and anyone who actually falls for this crap AFTER reading this post deserves to lose their money.
FACT: You must WORK HARD to make money. Basically, you believe in money trees. That's why people GO TO COLLEGE. If you didn't have to work hard, then why wouldn't millions of Americans be using this program and complimenting it? SCAM. Right on.
Also, there is NO charity. Why not? When people say they give to charity, they name names/organizations. "Charity" is vague - charity could be his or her own pocketbook; afterall, it's his or her charity you are supporting. And like someone mentioned, 10 people buy the program, and they have $970. NO, and I repeat, NO information such as this, THAT IS IS DONATED TO CHARITY, would cost this much and for such an ODD price. It's stupid. If it's going to charity, then they'd ask for a simple $20 or something... or even $10. Sorry, but $97 is nothing more than a psychological thing marketers use to make people think it's real. Why do you think things sell for $19.95, or 29.99, or 199.99? Because once you put that 200.00 there, in people's heads, they think they really are spending $200. If it's 199.99, then you say I spent less than $200 on this product, etc etc etc.... one penny. So $97 is bogus too.... they keep it all, so don't be fooled.
Last, there is NO reverend. No Isabella, and he (or she) didn't just get back from Florida and arrive at his/her dream home. No such thing exists with this person because yes (regardless of what they may rebut) it IS a scam. He/she mentions that they don't want to show bank statements because of security. He/She refused, which says they're a scam right there. Hello - make a copy and mark out acct numbers - it's very simple people. If you REALLY BELIEVE you're making this money and you honestly want to PROVE you are making this money, it's easy to prove your point instead of just trying to re-sell the stupid thing. No one is interested in what you "say" it did for you - I can "say" I'm a billionaire and own 10 yachts. Big deal. "SAY" all you want, but until you actually show us some proof, you're fake, you're a scam - PERIOD. And EVERY TIME you say you don't want to show proof and can't show proof or can't find a copier for your bank statements or ANY OTHER STUPID LAME EXCUSE, you're just telling us once again, that YOU ARE the mastermind behind all of this.
Now, you think I'm wrong??? I've made some very serious accusations here.... prove to me that I'm wrong, and I guarantee you that I'll give you $1000. Wow - FREE money. Isabella (or whoever you are) should just on that in a heartbeat. Who (especially you) would turn down FREE, yes FREE, money????????? OH yeah - I forgot. You're scam, you dumb@$$.
Also, Tony Rush is in the same boat. Just another person who hops on a board to help "console" somone else and then all of a sudden tries to scam the same people that got scammed. I check out your website "Tony" or whatever YOUR FAKE NAME is as well, and it's bogus too. Sorry. But people, I guarantee you, if it seems too good to be true, IT IS. Not probably is.... but DEFINITELY. Use some common sense and earn your money. There is NO MONEY TREE. Even Donald Trump has to DO REAL WORK - duuuuuh. Do you think he HAS to work? No, but even he DOES because that's the ONLY way to keep it coming in - it doesn't just FALL in your ATM account. Sheesh............

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it seems that about half here wouldn't notice a scam even if it crawled up your rear and brought you to orgasm via prostate stimulation. Seriously, how many kids does Isabella have anyway? Maybe I need to re reread, but I could swear she mentioned a 16 and a 19 year old giving her advice. And why be so passionate about something you don't care about? Information on Isabella25 has about as much substance as a fart in the wind, and her arguments have the car-salesman/pickpocket feel. "Trust me in works for me! I'm not a crook! I don't lie! Really, I'm not marrying you for your money! Just sign here and our lives will be candy kisses and baby farts! Honest!"
*rolls eyes* I don't have much business experience besides being a lackey, but she strikes me as the kind of lady that works real hard at telling you how easy it is to work real hard at the get rich quick scam...I mean scheme...I mean Business oportunity and investment in knowledge.
BTW, whomever posted that advice "Don't invest if you are 100$ away from taking a loan out to buy ramen" Thanks. I'm 23 years old, slightly gullible, and horribly in debt. I'm trying to put myself through college so that I can earn my Doctorates in Psychology. But without having to pay for the McDonald's Dinner I purchased 37 years after consumption, capiche? So its hard to sift through both the good advice and the "no we aren't a pyramid scheme, see this is more of a dodecahedron" type of advice. Any suggestions for a currently unemployed, focused on school but need money to eat college student? Any advice is appreciated. Someone gave me some excellent advice on day to day money market accounts, but I have been unable to find another credit union or bank that provides that.

Well, "WOW" is all I have to say...I just read this entire thread, and boy am I happy I found this. I was literally about to purchase to $97 ebook, now dont get me wrong, I dont just throw my money around...I have tried all sorts of online money making stuff, you name it! I though something that was $97 was better then a $5 ebay listing, but according to what you guys are saying it sounds no better! A few different people addressed the facts that the images of this "Ms. Katherine Scott" looked really fake, I also noticed this...people dont take images looking that good. Also, she said you can access your money from any ATM, third I also did a WHOIS search over on Godaddy,and I saw that company, however I did not notice the name "Peter Martinez" which someone else gave which is supposedly a "black pastor in St. Paul, MN.)I did not find this info on my WHOIS search, but I am going to give that telephone number a call to give this guy a piece of my mind.
Anyway, this website is clearly illegal, NO tech suppost, NO money to charity, no 30 day refunds,according to the site there are only "3 more available" %100 LIE!, and deffinetly not worth $97 from what people are saying...I found WAHM on Google, right before I was about to go through with the transaction. I am deffinetly going to check out more of this website, I already looked into Tony Rush's website. This looks like a really great website with good boards etc. for non-scammers trying to make an honest buck.
Anybody recieved any word from Isabella? I am sure her website is deffinetly done with construction..frankly I would just like to see that she owns a website and is not really Mr. Peter Martinez trying to rip off more peoples hard-earned money.

I totally agree with what you guys are saying. I mean the information was helpful in a way. But, absolutely no way was it worth $97. After I downloaded I felt so scammed. I am going to ask for refund and hope I don't encounter any problems. I could probably understand if she had sold the info for about $25 or so just to make a little profit. But $97 -- for that little piece of junk. I should really kick myself because I already kinda figured what it was going to say once I downloaded. But when I finally read it, it was elementary crap I already knew!!! If I was going to sell information, I sure would try a different and fresher approach and sure as h*ll wouldn't charge almost $100 for it!!! But that's ok, cause I have a site of my own, but I can guarantee you I will never ever charge what she does just to help ppl! People fall for this scam because they want to make $ fast and get on their feet. How can you help people if you charge their eye sockets out just for just that piece of information? That doesn't work at all! I will never be like that! If I had a product to help people make money, I would give it away or atleast charge something very reasonable. Honey, she sold that book I think 4x what it should be worth. Bottom line. P.S. -- has anybody gotten a refund yet?????

Just wanted to say hello to all the others looking for a legitimate opportunity. I found WAHM while looking for info on the "sounds too good to be true" K Scott $1,000 a day deal. I have been researching supposed business ideas heavily for the last few months due to the fact that (unlike the phoney story on the K Scott site) I AM a single mom, and I AM (unlike, again the bogus K Scott story) desperate to find a true business I can learn/work/be successful over time at to secure a good financial future for me and my children.
I have a couple of opinions of true opportunities that I think WILL work for people who have the time to invest, motivation, dedication, patience and of course a bit of start up money. (the real deals always require an investment of money).
I have not started a home based biz due to the last piece mentioned, and that is money. I am going to provide childcare for now to build up some savings for a financial investment.
That being said, Ebay has many success stories. People, from mothers, couples, fathers, families, disabled persons have a potential to earn from part time to awesome full time income. There are other online auction houses as well. True, not all will like the biz or do average to awesomely well- the point is, it is a proven money maker for many and has penetrated some 30+ countries thus far.
The other I came across I mention because many of the posts in this thread are discussing their own websites as being a nice source of income for them. There is a company called Site Build It! that is awesome because not only can you see right away the legitimacy- it is a true company helping people (they are honest to say it takes time and start up money) but also, they show real people with real websites that they helped build. To me, it is rare to see an online company that looks and is as legitimate as this one.
No, I am not any kind of affiliate. But from what I have learned, once you have your own site, becoming an affiliate of other companies products, to provide a link on your own site, thus getting credit for a sale, is a great way website owners supplement the income from the main site.
I always welcome new knowledge, tips and info so please feel free to respond with your own experiences.
It's good to know this "minister" is getting the TRUTH exposed about his BS program. I hope more people will smell the $h!t immediately (the pictures/testimonials don't even have the standard BS initials that are so common on other "moneymaking" ads.)
These "moneymaking" opps that have the long drawn out sales pitch are just an online version of the same type ads you can see in magazines like Homebased Business Opportunities. It's all based on the psychology of how there is always a percentage of naive, newbies looking to make money from home- often people who will allow themselves to be scamed repeatedly because they pray they will eventually unearth that true once in a lifetime thing. The creators of these ads know this human behavior, and many become quite wealthy off of it.
THIS SITE AND OTHERS LIKE IT IS A WEAPON, so keep checking back here!
My best wishes to you all! Take care

Just wanted to add, ironically I got to the K Scott site through a link on a website forum dedicated to exposing scams!
I stupidly filled in my email address when I got on the K Scott site. Automatically a sales pitch email comes into your mailbox. Their neat little trick is, if you reply with a request to be taken off of their mail list, you just end up immediately with a replica of the same identical sales pitch email in your inbox. Big circle of nonsense.

Has anyone else seen the other sites that are very similar to the K Scott/ Personal Instant Cash site? They are supposedly by "Mary Johns" and "James Sririta", at hotcash78.com and cashmoney77.com. They have the same write-up as the K Scott site and the same info. Just wondering if anyone else has come across these at all/knows anything about them, since I can't find them anywhere, ie the Ripoff Report, but the K Scott site is talked about extensively. Are these sites by the same person, or just the people trying to resell the info?

WOW, just looked up those sites and you are absoulutely correct, almost identical content, just different "names" and stock photos. These two sites are ONLY scamming people for $59.00 versus $97.00.
WHAT CONSIDERATE SCAMMERS!
Obviously someone is reselling the rights to this "BRILLIANT" online opportunity. There are probably hundreds of similar sites. One of those "turnkey" or "business in a box" hooks. Or shall I say CROOKS?
Never spend your money on these ideas. They all have the same thing in common: long drawn out sales pitch, the bragging of the thousands of dollars being made, the rags to riches, the promise thet you will be shown to duplicate the same, after you pay for the information.
First of all, I wanted to say thank you to WAHM.com and all of the people who have posted to thread. I, too, found this forum in a google search on Katherine Scott, and you all have saved me from buying into this scheme!
Therefore, I just wanted to share with you some of the resources available to people who have been ripped off by this or ANY other company. I am not an expert by any means (I'm just a 26 year old recent college grad), but I have learned NOT to take ANY company's crap without putting up a fight. LOL - But I digress...
My response is specifically related to hbarbre's post which was posted March 20, 2005 06:52 AM The one thing that puzzles me the most is how Katherine Scott's site and all the emarket promoting sites can stay up. With all the people who have been ripped off. What do we need to do to have them taken down?
I didn't see any responses specifically directed at this, however ONE person did mention one of the resources I have used... I am just going to list them from this point - as I have already been long winded enough.
1. www.ftc.gov - The Federal Trade Commission's website. They can't do anything for the individual [p]per se[/p], but they offer a lot of good information for consumers. You can also report business scams such as this, and if enough people follow suit - the FTC WILL investigate. 2. www.bbb.com - The Better Business Bureau's website. CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THEM!!! Long story short - through their help, I was able to get $500 back from one company, and $90 from another! They can't ALWAYS do this, mind you, but its nice to have a big partner like them on your side! 3. www.planetfeedback.com 4. www.ripoffreport.com
OK - I've written way more than you probably wanted to read, so I'll end now. In short, be loud and make your voice heard if you've been mistreated. The reason the "company" was around long enough to scam YOU, is likely because its previous victims kept quiet...

Come on now flyingwolf... This is definately not an MLM. I have been working MLMs for over 10 yrs. They work. Like cognigen, Fruta Vida and FFSI... just to name a few. It is a shame that MLM gets a bad name from a few bad apples. That would be like me saying derogatory things about you just because I know 2 or 3 bad eggs that go by the nickname flyingwolf. The key is to find an MLM that does not ask for anything out of pocket to get started, offers a great product line that you want to buy for yourself and allows you to collect income from others who want to join(on their own) because of the value they were shown in the products you represented. For instance Cognigen http://www.cognigen.com does exactly that. Note: that I did not include my affiliate ID proving I am not just trying to sign you up in my downline! Have you heard of Vonage the broadband phone company that advertises on TV? If you live in a smaller town farther away from mtro areas you will likely find that Vonage does not sipport your area code. Cognigen offers a service called packet8 that provides everything that Vonage does plus has your local area code plus no contract plus enhanced 911 service plus a free phone adapter for 5 dollars less per month than Vonage! That is just one of the products that is so easy to sell and makes this MLM a success and everytime someone makes a monthly payment you collect a commission too! Not to mention that your customer can save an additonal up 12 percent on that price by becoming their own customer! check it out! My boss Corey Roman is a business consultant in Kingsport Tn. He has made it a hobby to tear apart MLMs separate the goodones from the bad. He is constantly publishing his findings in other forums like http://www.work-at-home-forum.com/5_0.html check it out! Multi-Level-Marketing Works!

Anyone notice the coincidence between the name Isabella and The last name Martinez. We should call this the mexican advance fee scam. LOL the only people I found on six different sites that defended this were of spanish descent. I put the KScott website as my homepage in my profile to remind me never to look at it again!!! LOL!

Hey everyone, I don't even know where to start this message. First off, i'm a 26 year old male from Vancouver, B.C. I work full time and will be getting married in the next two years (sooner if the financial situation improves). With the pressure of a marriage looming i keep searching the internet for some kind of "Hope" or "ray of light" that will help me and improve my financial situation. Anyways, long story short, i came across this Katherine Scott program and started ordering it, but stopped short of entering my credit card info. THANK GOD I DID! Something inside told me to do some research on the program before i made a committment to it. I went to google and punched in Katherine Scott and found this website through the results. I am SOOO glad that i found this website. Thank you soo much to EVERYONE for responding so passionately and openly to this topic. You guys saved me from making a mistake and potentially affecting my future. I work full-time and i work hard. It's not enough money (it never is) and i do want to have a second income, but working more hours and more days are not really appealing to me. I hope that all of us here can become as rich as we all dream and find that financial freedom we are looking for. This website saved me from making a huge mistake. Thank you for whoever created this site. P.S. Work At Home Moms? I'm a guy, will this be a problem?
