There’s nothing that infuriates me more than someone freeloading off the success of early pioneers. And this is what the now infamous “Angela Christianson” has done.
It’s clear from the following email that she learned and mastered her business and sales tactics from the Rebate Processor “Job” innovator Angela Penbrook:
This is an email that was recently directed to Angela Christianson’s “company”:
“helllo – my name is [removed for privacy reason] and i have a few of your reps contact me for an internet business help — i have been looking at several ways to try and make money online but honestly do not recall paying for your services which at this time i do not want – i am out of work from a car accident and have no income at this time coming in — i cashed in my 401k being only 34 not much there — not to waste any more of your time i would like to be credited back the money to my credit card according to your reps it could be $50-$120 dollars- i am looking at statements as they come in—i have not seen it yet — but according to your reps i have paid and they tell me to contact my credit card co. which i do not not even know which one it is b/c i do not remember signing up for your service thanks.”
The only reason I know this is because he accidently directed the letter to our site, which turned out to be a good thing, because we were able to advise him that he should NOT wait on this company for a refund and should initiate a chargeback process with his credit card company immediately:
I wouldn’t hold your breath with them as they are notoriously unreliable about
giving refunds.
Did you pay with a credit card? If so, I would initiate a “chargeback” with your
credit card company as soon as you can. If you need evidence of this company’s
patterns you can use this url:

That will list all of the complaints filed against their parent company
“Penbrook Productions”.
If you’re able to, can you also post your situation here:

As ABC is using that as one of the places to collect stories. You don’t have to use your real name -
just your story and what happened to you.
Let me know if you have any issues with doing the chargeback. You can read more
about chargebacks here:

They will tell you to try to work with the merchant first, but in this case you can
skip that step as this merchant has a history of ignoring refund requests.
They’re truly shameless, aren’t they, Paul? I have fantasies about subjecting Angela Penbrook or Stevens or Christianson or Linda Pierce to medieval witch trials, complete with ducking and body cavity exams.
I put in my information, but stopped when they asked for money (I did not give my credit card thanks to information that I have read about schemes on websites like http://www.workathometruth.com). Since that date (11-10-08) I have been receiving phone calls from 3057604505, with no answer. Today I receivied an answer, and anwered. It was a call center calling on behalf of Angela Christianson.
Glad to hear you didn’t give your Credit Card, Brajande.
By the way, if it’s an unpublished number you can sometimes use sites like 800Notes, WhoCalled.us, WhoCallsMe.com to figure out who’s calling you without having to pay to get the information.
i look for real jobs on the net all the time but when i have to pay some one to work then i think there is some thing wrong with that, They are making money off of you when you work so why should i have to pay them to work.I think these people should be locked up for life, its hard enough now to make a living without some one stealing it from you.
This phone number is involved the disappearance of my wife since December 11,2008. Until now my wife dint come home nor call us anymore. I believe she is held against her will by the owner of this phone (3057604505) Angela Penbrook as what my wife told me that the name of her friend is Angeline or Angela.
God exposed you to the light Angela. It’s a judgment day!
Angela, you are holding someone who doesn’t belong to you. She belongs to God Most High. God will respond NOW!
Thank you to all who have commented on this “business opportunity”, I will be sure to aleviate myself of future problems by leaving this “Angela” person alone.
I’ve grown weary od all of the “Gurus” who have the “real” information out there.
If there are legitiamte opportunities on the i-net, they’re lost behind the jumble of jerks who are shredding people’s dreams with their scams!
I am not looking to get rich, I simply want to make a better income for my family.
