MakeMoneyWithCreditCards.com Scam

This a review from ReviewStream.com. I repost it here in order to give you about this scam website so that you won't be the next victim. Here is the review:

Several months ago, I enrolled one of my companies into the MakeMoneyWithCreditCards affiliate program. The website templates that they provided to us as affiliates were heavily modified to give our affiliate site a unique look and feel, as well as for search engine optimization. Time and resources were spent in the writing of two ebooks designed to market the credit card application services offered through the affiliate program. Thousands of dollars were spent on print advertising to further market the program from the offline angle.

Three months into participation in the affiliate program, I discovered that my affiliate site was no longer responding to my web address. I had parked one of my company’s domain names on the affiliate program’s server so that my affiliate site would have a decent web address, but instead of my company’s affiliate pages being displayed under the address, pages belonging directly to Zen Marketing LLC (which is owned in turn by Electron Interactive, Inc.) were being displayed.

After nearly two weeks of hounding the CEO of Electron Interactive, Inc., Joe Davison, things were “fixed” in the script that drove the affiliate program and my affiliate pages were once more loading under my company’s domain name. I checked my sales stats through the affiliate manager control panel and, just as I expected, I hadn’t earned a dime. How could I when my company’s domain name had been sending credit card applicants directly to Electron Interactive’s account with the credit card companies instead of through my company’s affiliate membership?

A month later, I checked the stats once again. My company had earned a whopping $145 for the credit card applicants that we had generated through the affiliate program. Our marketing efforts were beginning to pay off, even though we were still operating in the red from our marketing expenditures.

It is now late July, 2008. Without notice of any kind to my company as an affiliate, the entire MakeMoneyWithCreditCards.com web site has vanished. There is no way that I can fathom to log into the control panel and request my company’s earnings to be sent to us. Our affiliate web site still loads from the program’s server that it was parked on – all but the template graphics.

In visiting the Electron Interactive web site at electron.com, I have discovered that Joe Davison’s biography and blog have been removed from the site. There is also no more mention of the MakeMoneyWithCreditCards affiliate program on the site, like there once was.

In early June of 2008, I received an email from MakeMoneyWithCreditCards.com indicating that my “new credit card website is live and ready to go at http://webmasterblueaegiscom/ecreditdirectory.com”. In visiting that site only a month later, all that is displayed is a parked domain page.

It appears quite apparent that the MakeMoneyWithCreditCards.com affiliate program was nothing more than a scam perpetrated to generate money for Electron Interactive, Inc. by the efforts of the unwitting affiliate marketers that participated in the program. Should this affiliate program ever raise its tempting head online again, affiliate marketers are given fair warning to approach with caution and invest as little financially as possible in the promotion of the program.
