NewsDaily7.com and ProfitGuruOnTheWeb.com sales process review

I did 2 videos of the NewsDaily7.com and ProfitGuruOnTheWeb.com sales process that I’ll post a bit later. The video starts with News7Daily.com – an advertorial style fake news site that recommends a product called ProfitGuruOnTheWeb, a product which seems to also go by the name Home Income Profit System.

Two other products NewsDaily7.com promotes are called YourHBBNow.com and BizSiteHome.com which use the same template as Profit Guru On The Web

Is NewsDaily7.com an Advertorial site?

Normally an Advertorial style web page will start with the word Advertorial prominently displayed at the top of the page. Currently, NewsDaily7 puts the following disclaimer at the very bottom of the page AFTER the reader has scrolled past EIGHT (8) order links (2 of them are on the images):

Was the News7Daily.com advertorial site really “seen” on MSNBC, ABC, USAToday, and CNN?

How do readers perceive the comments at News7Daily.com?

The comments at News7Daily.com are most likely part of the advertorial as those same comments or very similar comments have been used on a significant number of advertorial style sites. Is that how the readers perceive them?

BBB information on FastNetLearning.com

The BBB states that it does not have sufficient information to issue a rating for this business. However, it does include the following information:

“The BBB has received a dozen complaints regarding charges that were posted to credit cards or bank accounts before the trial period (7 days) was over. Trial amounts ranging from $1.95 to $2.95 were charged to set up a website. The company then keeps asking the consumer if they want to upgrade the site – disparaging the “free” site.”

OnlinePlatinumInteractive advertised on Consumer Reports? LOL!

Online Platinum Interactive promises to tell us the Internet’s BIGGEST secret. Is that secret possibly how to advertise on “Consumer Reports” as this image on their site seems to suggest:

Adv Consumer Reports

Adv Consumer Reports

Strange, because according to Consumer Reports themselves:

CONSUMERS UNION
NO COMMERCIAL USE POLICY

We accept no advertising and pay for all the products we test. We are not beholden to any commercial interest. Our income is derived from the sale of Consumer Reports®, ConsumerReports.org®, and our other publications and information products, services, fees, and noncommercial contributions and grants. Our Ratings and reports are intended solely for the use of our readers. Neither the Ratings nor the reports may be used in advertising or for any other commercial purpose without our permission. Consumers Union will take all steps open to it to prevent commercial use of its materials, its name, or the name of Consumer Reports®.”

Or is the the secret that OnlinePlatinumInteractive.com will teach us how to squeeze an inspiring testimonial out of stock photo as they did for “Justin K.”?

Or maybe Online Platinum Interactive will teach me how to use invalid, non-clickable Verisign seals on my site. Could it be?

Or maybe Online Platinum Interactive is kind of like an “eye-spy” book where we are supposed to hunt for as many product and company names as we can throughout the sales letter, privacy policy and terms and conditions.

Here are the ones I found:

  • Online Platinum Interactive (URL)
  • Payday Pro Home Profit System (Top Banner)
  • Infinity Online Home Wealth Course (Terms)
  • Home Deposits Program, LLC (Terms)

News 6 Alerts Warning From The BBB

The BBB has put out a warning about a company a website called News 6 Alerts which is an advertorial-style news site promoting a product called Home Income Profit System.

According to the BBB, News 6 Alerts makes a lot of claims about high income working by working part-time from home and “asks consumers to pay $2.97 to ‘unlock’ a link to their buisness opportunity”.

What the BBB found particularly troubling is that the company behind Home Income Profit System claims “that they’ll pay via direct deposit – which would give them your bank information”.

The only thing I can’t tell from the BBB write-up at BBB is how accurate their screenshot is. Here’s the Better Business Bureau screenshot of News 6 Alert:

Here’s the screenshot I took:

On that shot the Advertorial is quite conspicuously above the whole site. HOWEVER…

…there are still strange things going on with News 6 Alert.

For instance:

They use a logo that states:

“As Seen On MSNBC, ABC, USAToday, BBC, CNN”

What could that possibly mean? That their fake news story was seen on MSNBC, ABC, USAToday, BBC, and CNN? It makes no sense.

Also, it seems like the comments shown in the comments are of News 6 Alert are fake since many people have seen those same types of – or even exact same comments on other sites as well.

What does it mean to have fake comments within an advertorial?

Also, the News 6 Alert website itself is promoting a product called Complete Home Profit System, but referencing a product called “Quick Profit Kit” in the disclaimer on the bottom of it’s page which states:

“Quick Profit Kit (the following was taken directly from their website): When you enroll in our membership program (“Program”), we will charge the card the card you provide an activation fee specified on the order checkout page. Then, on the following business day, we will charge the same card you provided at enrollment the non-refundable one-year membership fee of $149.95 (“Membership Fee”). Then, beginning about thirty-four (34) days after we charge the Membership Fee to your card and every thirty (30) days thereafter, we will charge your card $4.97 (“Monthly Charge”) for as long as choose to remain in the Program. You can cancel your membership and avoid further Monthly Charges at any time by contacting customer service. Unless you cancel sooner, we will charge a new one-year Membership Fee of $149.95 to the same card we have on file for you on the one-year anniversary of your enrollment date and each year thereafter, and you will continue with the Program for the same Monthly Charge described. We will send you an email reminder at 30 days prior to the anniversary of your enrollment date to remind you of the annual Membership Fee. We reserve the right to lower the annual Membership Fee or Monthly Charge without notice to you; however, we will not increase the Membership Fee or Monthly Charge without notifying you of the change and giving you an opportunity to cancel. To cancel and avoid further charges, call our customer service line toll free at 866-445-4241. Live customer service agents are available (7 Days a Week 9:00AM – 6:00 PM EST. Upon receipt of your cancellation request, you will not be charged further.”
