Anything where you have to pay a fee upfront is a scam to me.

Yep.

MLM or "multi-level marketing" are just legal pyramid schemes.

The product they sell is irrelevant (they don't care if you sell it or not); they only care about you getting other people to sign up for a few hundred quid.

For example -

I sign up. I then recruit Jack, Paul and Alan. This makes the company a few hundred and I get commission.

Jack then recruits Tom, Joe and Mary. This makes the company a few hundred and Jack gets commission. I also get commission because I recruited Jack.

This goes on and on.

I went to one of their meetings (was curious as to how their system worked) and I was surrounded by deluded fools. MLM is for morons. Don't be a moron.

ashmac

yeah i get you about MLM's and i wouldnt go for these at all however, it seems sightly different to these. you pay 30 ish to join then you start working for them? no mention of signing up someone etc..
on the other hand...the whole website is about working FOR them not them working for YOU! so if you are one of the "clients" how do you find out info about their services!??
its bol*ox me thinks...although need the money!

BeansMeansHynes

Yes it is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! :eek:

Do not give these people your money because you will be worse off than you are now.

ANYTHING where you have to pay up front is a scam, dodgy or basically you loose out in the long run.

I really cant believe people still fall for this stuff.

It is obviously a bit of a scam but they do say this.

That is why we ask all new Mail Blasters for a one time fee of £36 for admin costs. This also confirms to us that you are serious about wanting to work. But don't worry about losing £36, After your first job is completed and returned to us the full £36 is refunded to you along with your first pay check!

I might join up for the craic and then make sure I get my refund from paypal.

Corrected your statement.

And if their Paypal account is empty you get nothing from Paypal even though they ruled in your favor.

I know you're only joking, but sadly I was the only person in the room who wasn't drooling at how great MLM is...

My wife has joined junkmailblaster for £36 and they are sorting out work for her.
Will let you know when she gets her first job

Complete scam. Their contact address has the wrong postal code. And is in fact a council flat. The use of floors 3 - 5 just makes it sounds like it's a big corporate office.

Hope you don't mind waiting until it snows in hell then; oh and don't be surprised when they "forgot" to add a fee for a license/training course/book she need before they can give her that job they got lined up.

Oh and would you also mind sending me your e-mail btw? I have this rich friend of mine in Nigeria who really desperatly need to move some 20 million USDs from there but needs a foreign bank account to route it through. You'll get 10% of allt the cash; we're talking potentially millions here!

Anyone of you join this program,I have registered with this company since two months back,but I am yet to get my first job from them,now even after two months no job was given to me I doubt whether I 'll get any work from them, now I am beginning to get a bit sceptical about this company ie junkmailblaster.com because last month they send me a mail that my first job will start shortly but whem the time arrived they stop communicating with me,even my mail were not receive by their server,I open their main website www.junkmailblaster.com and to my surprise found that all their contact details which were previousely there had been remove,it seem they do not want to leave any trace of them behind.Anyone of you in the same situation kindly let me know also I be glad to hear from anyone who had more information on this company.

Alanstrainor

like everyone said on this thread it's a scam. I don't know how you paid the upfront cash, but i doubt there's any way to get it back. They set the trap and you walked right into it. Sorry bud, but i'd say you're out of luck, lesson learned.

Hi Justiceforall,
I think we're in the same situation regarding our membership to junkmailblaster.com.just like you I also receive a mail in month of may that work will be alloted on the 1st of june and that an email with detail instruction will be send on 31st may the night before my contract work begin but when the month of june arrived nothing happen,no email nor any information from their side, I became curious and start sending email to them,to my disappointment all my emails were block from their server with an error message that read 'no such user here' so I tried to contact their support team and open their main website www.junkmailblaster.com,well I found that their site is still there very much live but there were some changes,when I click on the contact I found that all contact information has been removed.This has confirmed beyond my suspicion that it is SCAM a real SCAM run by proffessional Scammers.I would like to warn all this forum users to advoid this site,we should all join together to fight against this kind of sites which has polluted the internet in abound.By the way Justiceforall have you receive a reply from paypal it will be nice of you if you let me know about the outcome.

Hi Chucha, We may have lost our £36 but not in vain as we can now warn others never never never
ever pay upfrount to a work from home service,unless a close friend is doing a service and can show you proof that that the service is genuine
and 150% legit. Having said that there is still no reason to pay upfrount
for any work from home service (let them take there fee out of the first pay cheque)and still have solid proof they are genuine. I can say this now because I have learned a lesson for the first time in my life.Fool me once, shame on them,fool me twice,shame on me. I will up post pay pals findings whan they are finished reveiwing the case. I agree with you,we on boards.ie should get together to stop scammers. I know it's easy said than done,but it's a start.
