Automatic Profit System reviews and complaints
no response after purchase
Well, I was convinced to do this by a family member. I did not take the time to do the research as I was overwhelmed and tired, when I purchased the program. Usually I'd do more research on a company beforehand.
I did not receive any information from this company other than the receipt for my order from Oct to last day in November. There was no contact back from the emails I sent requesting my refund. Then I found a phone number for customer service [protected]. I called today and spoke to "Mike". He was very polite and asked no questions when I requested my refund. He verified my information, put me on hold and came back with the confirmation number for my refund. He says it should show up in about 5 days. I will be back here if it does not show up. I'm Hopeful.

High pressure sales tactics
I initially saw an ad on the internet for automatic profit SYSTEM on 10/08/2010. I clicked on their site before I knew it I was contacted by phone by the first sales rep. I made the first transaction whitch seamed reasonable for software they claimed would help me get a web site up and running and get my site on the first page of the search engines. I was next contacted by phone on 10/11/2010 by a sales rep from Internet Sales Institute (ISI) I went to their web site and was high pressure sold into doing a balance transfer. ISI did have the BBB logo on their web site I figured they were legitimate. Also before the balance transfer took place I did tell the ISI high pressure sales rep that I didn't want to go through with it and hung up. He called right back and continued the high pressure tactics. At the time of the balance transfer my credit card rep did ask if Internet Sales Institute is a financial institution the ISI rep said "YES". The balance transfer took place 10/12/2010. Myaccount with ISI was activated 10/12/2010. I did contact the ISI rep today 10/16/2010 and told him I wanted out of the whole thing and want a refund of the total amount they have billed my credit card. After he tried to talk me out of it. I told him if I didn't get a total refund I would contact The Complaint Board the BBB and the FTC. He told me I would hear from their lawyers on Monday. So breifly I believe ISI used high pressure sales tactics. They used the BBB logo falsley I just checked they are not accretided. and they lied when the ISI rep said they were a fiancial institution.

@druver379, their not right. There all a scam. The best thing for you to do is save your money and find a company that is trustworthy enough that you would want to invest your money in. These people are out here to make a dollar for themselves, they don't give a rats ### about anybody else. They talk all that mombo jumbo to try to make their sales pitch sound so inticing but know good and well they just a big rip off.
The advertisement sounds really good. But I am skeptical because I don't want to lose money to scams. I was gonna go for it until I saw all the bad reviews. What I don't understand is why the same person lives in different areas and is a work at home mom in the ads and they say they are on the news. They don't present themselves right.
In reference to the complaint. Internet Sales Institute stands behind its services. We offered this client over 50 percent of her money back. The client made the decision to move forward on her own merit. We will go to any extent to make our clients happy. We provide one one help on a number of different levels. Our coaching sessions are at least 30 minutes long. Clients also have unlimited help from 8:00 am mst-8pm mst to get help via phone, e-mail and live chat. The problem when people start any new venture is they expect immediate results. At Internet Sales Institute we gaurantee to work with every client until they recover their full initial investment. There are no such things as get rich quick schemes. Sometimes when clients sign up and realize they do have to put time and effort in they start to second guess their decision. We communicate to all students that it does take time and effort to build a business. We work diligently with every client to accomplish their goals and lay a solid foundation for their online ventures. There will be frustration at times but giving up on a program within one week, no one would ever succeed. Growing pains happen for all new start up businesses. We do business with people all over the world by phone. If the sale was so high pressured then why did you remain on the phone with the consultant? We stand behind our gaurantee and all services we provide to clients. We are ready and willing to address any concerns that any past, present or future clients may have! WE STAND BEHIND OUR GUARANTEE!
No response after paying
I paid a discounted price and when clicking pay now, the money was debited from my account but the website said operation aborted - unable to find page! Now I have tried to contact the [protected]@automaticprofitsystem.com and have received no response. So I paid $50 for absolutely nothing! This is a scam of the worst kind, preying on those that are already in financial distress and looking for a way OUT of debt. Thanks a freakin million Ryan Jackson for taking the money you were promising to help me make more of! This is a sad world we live in where people can just advertise lies all day and get away with it - I have now seen several other complaints of this kind and am wondering who can stop this business. The bank statement showed my money going to Aotumatic Wealth Solutions ion Naples Florida, they need to be terminated and held accountable for the trash they advertise and the money they've stolen!

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
OMG I just got a call from the automated profit systems and they told me if I paid $1.97 for three days I can start my own business. The young lady was talking very fast and I had to keep asking her if she could please talk a little slower because she had a very strong accent. She said after 3 days if I like using this website they would debit my account of $97.00. I told her I had to check out this company before I gave her my personal banking information. I am so glad I followed my instincts. They would have sure got me.
OMG! thank you everyone for your post. I just got a call from these people and they told me I had to only pay $1.97 for 3 days and if I like it they would be debiting $97.00 out my account every month. I told the girl who was talking very very fast that I had to research this company before I give them my banking account information. This just don't make no sence at all the way people try to scam you. thank god I followed my instincts and looked at the reviews.
I'm glad I didn't fall for this scam and did my research about the company. I followed the link that glued2it posted www.paiddaily.us and found out they are traded in the New York stock exchange (PPD), A+ rating with the BBB, listed #78 of the best small companies by Forbes magazine and aired a show " A Business For Today" on Fox Business news Jan. 1 2011. the URL to that is http://www.pplsuccesschannel.com I found nothing but good about this company! They will HELP you and TEACH along the way to be successful. They say be in business for yourself, not by yourself.
This is a company I can TRUST and I can speak to someone 1on1 at any given moment!
I am a former NY prosecutor & was a focus group advisor in 2003 for a federally funded organization called the National White Collar Crime Center. I've also had the pleasure to be a guest lecturer to the FBI on local issues pertaining to "cyber-crime." There is an online complaint center located at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
The IC3's mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime & they provide services to law enforcement, including the FBI and other agencies. Anyone with such a complaint should register all of the details at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx & your complaint will be referred to law enforcement.
All the best!
By the way "Mr. Abrams" I'm not one for revenge..but I hope you know you and all the other dicks you work with and for are going to get what's coming to you! Makes me sick to think you people can sleep at night stealing innocent people's money that are just looking for a better way to provide for their families! You guys are sick. Justice will be served.
Dear Paul Abrams:
For real? You can't even spell?! Some "Customer Support Manager" you are. If you thought all these angry people and the person who posted this complaint didn't trust you in the first place, once they see your simple grammar errors, they're really not going to trust you than! I mean I'm staring right at the caution statement above this comment box that reminds us all, "Please check text spelling before submitting a comment"! But I guess that doesn't really matter much. What matters is the website that you work for actually thought that ALL Americans were dumb enough to fall for its scam (which clearly they're NOT, because like some of them I, too did a little research) and people aren't as dumb as you think they are! What really chaps my ### is that first you steal millions of dollars from people, than go and post a comment lying about how "would be happy to issue you complete refund"! The website you work for is in fact a lie, you're all thieves, and you've completely ruined the name "Jessica Holcomb" (which by the way apparently lives here in Tucson as well). APS sucks, you're a ###ing turd, get the hell out of here!
Sincerely,
Samantha
glad i found this site; this just made my whole day! what ### holes?! the things some idiots will go through to steal peoples money! thank God for websites like this! God bless America! haha
Jessica also works out of Kent, Washington! Someone needs to seriously do something about people like this. Ive been seeing the post for this add for over 6months now and still no one has done anything about it? MSNBC should investigate this asap before another struggling family gets sucked into this and loses more then a $100!
does anyone know of a legitimate solution to stoping this sort of thing from happening?... itsn awful wat people are doing to those that have a hard time dealing wit geeting their life bac on track
I was happy for what I thought waste of My Time, when I decided to check out the company.. Gee that was going to
take the upfront fee but giving a rebate., I didn't see a contact number etc. So after reading everyone who did this
and got nothing, it stopped me in my tracks. Thank you and Sorry sooo, many lost. I was just searching to add some
income in the household after I had left 20years in working in a Nursing Home. Due to MS I need a job at home and
I consider my time has a value, SO, Please Scammers, go away. you make True Work out there leaving people not
sure and don't know what is Real or Not..., this world I am sure will see more and more of this., Anyone out there
that can mention a true site for in home work, i would deeply appreciate it. thanks sharon
Glad I came across this post. What I am wondering is why hasn't this business been shut down? How can they keep getting away with posting that they have been on the news in different areas? I guess they change locations constantly and hide behind bogus business names or something. I almost bought the program but it sounded like it was written for naive people so that's why I checked the reviews.
