On or about 3/1/2008 I paid $197.00 to myrebateprocessor.com/?ref=CDI403. after I received my first instructions on how to receive the rebates I followed them to the letter. After that it said go to the web site to see if my ID had been placed on it. It was not, so I went over the instruction again to see if I had done anything wrong. I had not. So I thought I would contact customer Service since the email was right with the instructions. I click on it and sent a email for help. after two days I sent it again.

Then I started getting the emails returned I went back to the letter and click on the email again and sent three more emails they came back. So I called customer service and got know one and know way to leave a message and no help. That's when I thought I been had for $197.00. How stupid can you be anything that sounds to good is probably not. So now I am out of $197.00. So I figured I would report it so maybe it would not happen to anybody else.

Yes, it's definitely a scam. I fell for it too and I should have known better, but things happen.

But don't just sit back and do nothing... FIGHT IT. I am. I've called my bank to dispute it. I'm gathering evidence as we speak to report them to every agency that will listen. It might take a couple of weeks to get my money back but it's worth it. I won't be had.

You shouldn't have to "pay" for getting a job, in fact the companies that give rebates contact with other companies, and the second company pays the workers. For example, Best Buy would contract with Sam, Inc who then hires many mail processors to process rebates for Best Buy and perhaps other companies. I highly doubt they would let you do it yourself, plus ask yourself WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY TO WORK? That just sounds crazy.

Thanks for posting! You saved me $197.00. I thought it sounded too good to be true. I just wonder why after it is reported that this is a scam that is still allowed to be posted and people are still allowed to be ripped off. Why don't the internet police get this crap offline. So that good people who are trying to make ends meet don't end up worse off than they already are.

OMG! Thank you for posting, you saved me $197. I could've been had. Thanks for posting. Remember, people like you who have ben robbed decided to take action by posting this comment. I'm sorry you lost your money, but you have helped and still helping thousands of consumers like myself from being defrauded. Thanks so much!

The same thing happen to me I payed them $197 and all I got was just a BS newsletter pretty much. Then I started reading things like this. I got burnt but I'm not sure if there is anything I can do about it now .

I had pretty much the same problem.I paid $197.00 and the only thing I got was a call from a guy that sounded like he got his training in a boiler room operation.I sent many e-mails with no response.I doubt there is a person named angela penbrook.I finally got them on the phone 800-324-9708.They gave me a website[wealthdci.com] that is impossible to get on.Ihave my bank working on the fraud part and I will be calling them often to try to get my money back.I hope you will call them repeatedly and jam up the phones.

We experienced the same thing and reported them to our credit card company, who is now investigating them for fraud. We closed our account and got a new card.

Thank You to all of you who have posted a comment on this. As some who owns a Home Based business, it's so frustrating to see people like this out there taking advantage of good honest people looking to make extra income at home. But like others have said, if they require you to pay money to get a job, there is something very wrong with that. And never feel that just because you put it on your credit card that you cannot get your money back. Every person that has been had like this needs to dispute it with their credit card company. Do not allow them to walk away with your money. Report Them. That is the only way to stop this nonsense.

Thank goodness I found this site before giving them my $197.00 Thank you so much!

Thank you for saving me $197.00. For those of you who were taken, I highly recommend that you all get together, locate and find an internet investigator. They can trace the website, see who owns it, uses it etc. All of you go to your police dept. and file fraud charges against the individual or contact the FED's so an arrest warrant can be issued against this individual or individuals. Your credit card companies will investigate but they have thousands upon thousands of complaints to handle. It might be worth the couple hundred bucks to go thru an internet investigator to track down this scam artist.
Besides, if you all share the cost, it will be minimal and you'll feel justified.

I wish I had found this website BEFORE I sent my money! Again now, like some of you, I am out the $197 -- and that is an amount I cannot afford to lose. I am about losing my house and everything in it as it is for debt payments.

One thing I did learn and might be a cue for someone else, if you pay by VISA or MasterCard AND THE CARD IS A DEBIT CARD rather than a credit card, it's up to the goodness of the issuing bank whether they will reimburse the lost funds.

Good Luck everybody!

I was all the way to the page where you put in your credit card information and was about to send in my money when it hit me that i had not researched the company's claims. When I put in the name Penbrook Productions in Google it came up with a ton of sites with Scam Alert and complaints. I am so grateful for people like you who report these things and I am sorry you had to go through it even if it does benefit a lot more people.

Has anyone received their$197 back as 'promised'???
113 days ago by Sergio [send email]
Unbelievable! I can't believe that I almost fell for this scam too! My partner suggested that I do a simple search for credentials and after a general search on Google I found this and other websites detailing the scam behind this "certification" program! Thank you all for sharing your experience and enabling the rest of us from falling prey to the same con.

I paid out the $197 yesterday, and haven't been able to get online since. The phone number to "Penbrook Productions" works 1-866-885-8126 . You get people who can barely speak English telling you that "the system is down," and when you ask them when it might be fixed, they say they don't have access to that information. Neither does the supervisor. That went on yesterday and today, before I finally wised up and googled Penbrook Productions, and saw the scam info. Why was I so gullible?! Just needed the money, and it sounded like a good idea. Somebody suggested we hire an "internet investigator." What is that -- how does one find one (that isn't a scam)? Sigh.
