   I agree. This site is a scam. they say they have been on msnbc, CNN, usa today. check those news sites for “profit boost institute” and it will show that they have in fact never featured a story on this product. We all want the dream of staying home and working with our children, but this is not the “one”.

   This may or may not be true, however you don’t give any verifiable information to back up your conclusion that it is a “scam”. Where are the testimonials by those who support the site or who have been scammed. There is no valid information either pro or con. Citing MSNBC and CNN by reference is not enough. Have you interviewed Profit Boost Institute and let them respond?

   Received the “Profit Boost Institue” offer via a contacts hacked email. That in itself is a huge “SCAM” red flag.

   I signed up last evening and have been trying since midnight to get back to the web page to or whatever way I can to withdraw and I cannot find a way to do so. They claim that there is a 30-day return but there is no manner in which I can get to them to get back my money. How can I contact them to get back my money? Please help.

   What makes Profit Boost Institute a SCAM? Well it comes down to deception. This isn’t even a new SCAM. They just keep changing the name of the same old scam. We have reviewed this same deceptive practice many times with Home Cash Profits, Home Revenue System and more.pyramid or ponzi scheme it still might not be a SCAM. Profit Boost Institute is a SCAM.(((A FOOL AND HIS MONEY WILL SOON PART)))

    I had the same experience as Norma…they took the money out of my bank account but I didn’t get any information and there seems to be no way to get in touch with them. The ad said that they would send an email with the information on getting started within five minutes. Twelve hours later, I still haven’t heard from them.

    To tell you the truth I was very interested in joining profit boost institute… Until I read reviews about it on this website and a couple others, We all need extra money, in one way or another… May it be for our kids’ education or for emergency. I wish these scammers would go to hell!

    Call 888-201-0028 to get your money refunded from Profit Boost Institute. I called my bank to dispute the charge and they said this number showed up when the company charged my account. I would also advise you to change your card number with the bank so PBI can’t scam you out of any more money!

    I got an email from a trusted relative who later told me his email was hacked and emails sent everywhere. I called my credit card company when there was no website for webeducationadvantage and they refunded my $97.95. I cut my card up and asked them to send me a new card. Certainly sounded too good to be true, and lesson learned!

    They are a hacker group with an American server. They use classic phishing techniques with a mix of legitimate internet marketing. You will receive two phone calls. 1 to confirm your identity and the 2nd uses social engineering to get as much information to steal your identity. This happened to my girlfriends step dad. From what I gathered they have an “organization.” They have formed smaller branches for each niche group. I suspect they have an inner pyramid scheme, but I can’t confirm. In any case, use this number to report them to your bank. +888 201 0028 Use this number to complain to their host about their fraudulent activities. Cloudflare: +1 650 319 8930 Report them to the authorities: (US) http://www.stopfraud.gov/ (Canada) http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/scams-fraudes/index.htm They also own 30 other sites similar to this. I have found these: csdirec.com csonlpro.com directeducationlinkonline.com homerevenueuniversity.com insiderdirectinstitute.com leadinghomerevenue.com livehomeprofitinstitute.com onlineducationtutorial.com profitboostinstitute.com profitsystemdirect.com proserviceexperts.com secwebmgmr.com tbclick.net tbmediacorp.com tbmediacorp.net tbxdata.com webcsgo.com webcson.com webeducationadvantage.com websitetestingpreview.info

    First of all, I received an email from a trusted old friend regarding this website. Apparently her email was hacked by this company and they sent out emails that looked legit to all of her contacts. I looked into it and as a single mother who works 2 jobs and home schools and travels all over for my sons sports, I am always looking for something I can do from home as to get rid of my night job. So I signed up thinking my friend wouldn’t steer me wrong. I was willing to check it out. I payed my 97.95 and didn’t hear a thing from anyone, never received anything in the mail, nor did I get any email. Then one day I get a phone call from a man named John Cruz from phone number 800-456-6852. We played phone tag for a bit then one day I spoke with him but I was limited for time so we made arrangements for him to call me that evening at 7pm. I waited and never received a call. I called occasionally for the next few weeks and never received a call back. Finally I left one last msg telling him that I expect a call back or just get me my money back. He called me back within 30 minutes. He began to tell me that the reason I haven’t heard from him is because he has a lot of customers to deal with and had assigned me to a woman named Becky, phone number 801-456-6621. He arranged to have her call me at 6pm that same evening. She ended up calling me around 6:45 that evening. We chatted for a bit, and still after all this time I had not once been told what this biz is about nor received any material on it or what it exactly consists of and how to approach it. So as she was talking she STILL isn’t giving me any information. She began to tell me she was going to ask me a series of questions to better gage where I am. She began with asking me what I do for a living, I then informed her that I was a hard working single mom working 2 jobs and homeschooling. She then proceeded to ask me about how much I make a year at each job. Right away I told her that really isn’t any of her business. I proceeded to explain that I am just looking for something to supplement my income and hopefully allow me to get rid of my night job and be able to make money from home. I wasn’t sure how a company trying to sell me there product/system and teach me how to make extra money online would even need to know my income. She then proceeded to say to me “well if you aren’t willing to answer personal questions so I can gage where you are at then maybe this business isn’t for you” I instantly got furious. HOW COULD A WOMAN TELL ME THAT THIS BUSINESS ISNT FOR ME ALL BECAUSE I DIDNT ANSWER A QUESTION REGARDING MY INCOME, WHEN I HAVENT EVEN BEEN TOLD WHAT THE HECK THIS BUSINESS EVEN IS OR HOW THIS BUSINESS WORKS NOR HAVE I EVEN BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO TRY IT AND SEE FOR MYSELF IF I CAN DO IT, HOW COULD SHE TELL ME IT ISNT FOR ME???? I WAS BESIDE MYSELF AT THIS POINT AND LET HER KNOW I WANTED MY MONEY BACK AND SHE THEN TOLD ME SHE COULDNT GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK AND THEN TOLD ME I DIDNT NEED TO BE SO PISSY NUMEROUS TIMES. TO ME THAT IS HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL FROM A COMPANY TAKING MONEY FROM PEOPLE AND NOT PROVIDING A DAMN THING. SHE THEN HUNG UP ON ME. I immediately called John Cruz’s number and got his voice mail and told him about the conversation and told him I wanted my money back and if i did not hear from him I would be having my attorney call. He called me back first thing the next morning. I explained to him how the conversation went again and he told me he listened to the recording and said I called her a name, which is not true, the only thing I did was get extremely upset with her and swore on the phone when she told me the biz wasn’t for me and she couldn’t give me my money back. I told him to forward me a copy of the recording. He then continued to try and explain things to me but still wasn’t explaining anything at all. I was pretty much DONE at this point and told him there was nothing else I wanted to hear out of his mouth beyond telling me how to get my money back. He still wouldn’t tell me specifically how to do that and continued talking…I would not let him talk or even try to explain….I kept telling him that all I wanted to hear out of his mouth next is how to get my money back…he still would not tell me and then put another man on the phone and he too kept saying “will you just listen” I said the only thing I will listen to is how to get my money back….he too would not say so and threatened to hang up on me. I then hung up myself. I am taking action of reporting them publicly. This is a scam. They take your money saying you are buying into a great online at home based business then never provide you with any information on exactly what it is or how to get started, they then offend people by asking personal income questions and when you don’t answer them with what your income is etc., they tell you this business isn’t for you and they can’t give you your money back. What a bunch of frauds stealing money from people. It seems to me the only people making money online with this is them because they take your money and are selling nothing, then tell you its not for you and don’t give you your money back. They need to be exposed!!!!!!

    The ONLY way you’ll get your money from them is to write a complaint to your state’s ATTORNEY GENERAL. The form is short and easy to fill out and they’ll go to bat for you. I was lucky, when I paid the money and didn’t get anything from them in 2 days, I called the credit card company and it had not been posted yet, so they took it off the bill. So I wasn’t left in the lurch, but we have had a couple of things settled with our attorney general, and it’s well worth the effort. And they usually submit an honest review of the company in all the state’s newspapers!

    Go to your bank & tell them to cancel the ACH “automated clearing house” that they withdraw it from…..THATS IT! This only works if they have withdrawn money from your account.
