72 websites to AVOID!

Based on information from research I’ve done so far I recommend you avoid the following websites for the following reasons:

1. XMBrands company website was found on the same IP as the following websites and may be running sites under a new name now.

On 6/3/2010 the BBB issued this warning about XMBrands:

June 3, 2010, Milwaukee, Wis. – A recent wave of local complaints to the Wisconsin Better Business Bureau (BBB) is part of a national trend against online health store XM Brands, Inc. 623 complaints have been filed against the F-rated company in the past 36 months by consumers nationwide. To date, 562 remain unanswered.”

2. The governing law for many of the websites is in the country of Cyprus

The intent behind this that if a person has a dispute with the company they have to go to Cyprus to settle it. There are ways aroundit in certain circumstances, but it should be considered  a red-flag

3. Security and trust seals on many of the sites aren’t clickable

When security seals and trust seals are used on a website they are supposed to be clickable so that you can verify their legitimacy through a 3rd-party database.

Often the TRUSTe, Verisign, and McAfee Secure seals are not clickable on the order pages of the sites listed on this page.

BBB Warning About Eco Venture Group, LLC may still be relevant

Back on November 9, 2009 the BBB put out the following warning about a company called Eco Venture Group:

Beware of ECO Venture Group, LLC Work at Home Opportunity

ECO Venture Group, LLC
(919) 606-2836
1101 Haynes St Ste 1
Raleigh, NC 27604-1499
www.ecovg.com
www.yourblogprofits.com
www.mybloggingnews.com
Daniel, Boyd, Contact

Eco Venture Group has come onto BBB’s radar. The company asks customers to pay for material that supposedly explains how to make money by working at home. Customer complaints reflect that customers provide a credit card number to cover shipping and later find out they are being billed much more than they agreed to at point of sale.

As of the date of this release, the company appears to be shut down. Doors are locked, and no one answers the phone at its physical location, however, consumers are to be wary of any ongoing activity related to this company’s web sites, for the company could merely resurface in another location to continue its questionable activities.”

The BBB put out the following cautionary information about Internet Cash Machines:

“This company’s free trial offer is conditional upon accepting their offer for additional product. FTC Guidelines for advertising this type of offer require that all terms and conditions of the offer, as well as cancellation instructions, be clearly and conspicuously displayed in at least 10 point type before asking for payment or obtaining the customer’s consent. Clearly and conspicuously means, NOT disclosed in microscopic print accessed by a web link to another site, but rather, disclosed along with the free trial solicitation. Regardless, many consumers overlook the advisory, and are unaware of the charge until their next monthly credit card statement. In this company’s case, consumers complain they are unable to cancel services by using the instruction provided by the company. Even worse, they are unable to contact the company at all. Emails are not returned or acknowledged, and calls are not returned. Industry guidelines require marketers to provide a fast easy method of canceling, either by mail, phone, or website, Failure to do so may be a violation of consumer protection laws.”
