IgoMogul websitebusiness.com scams

by Sandy

What is funny about this company is that they think they can continue to scam. However, I am sueing them for not following their contract, but also for harassment. They have clearly lied to me on numberous occasions. I have a huge binder of documentation of lies, deceptions, and harassment; not including phone records. I have requested a Federal Investigation on this company. We will see how everything goes. The 'truth' will come out.

Sandy,

Did you actually ever sue these jokers? I'd be curious to know. They really do need their comeuppance. Once they got my $199 they only tried to upsell me after that, otherwise they ignored me. Very sad they do business this way. Buyer beware. Should've checked online before committing any money to the endeavor. You know what they say about "if it sounds too good to be true". Trying to get a refund now, but after reading others experience it may be best to just cut my losses instead of dedicating the time, money and energy into that.

Here is my situation: I received an email about earning money for typing. So I checked it out and gave my name and phone number etc. The same day I was called by a representative from igomogul, but the weird thing was that they didn’t talk much at all about earning money for typing. I was looking to find an extra “work from home” type job to earn extra...

IgoMogul Igomogul is a Scam

GoMogul is a work at home scam

I signed up with this company and discovered everything they promised was a lie. I've finally figured out how this scam works. IGoMogul gets you to contract a website design through them. IGoMogul makes an account with GoDaddy listing you as the registrant; this is $10 a year. Once a person looks at the "who is" and sees they are the registrant they are convinced they control the domain name. If they look at the bottom they will discover that it says registrant can not delete, renew, transfer, or update the account. Should you call GoDaddy they will tell you that only the person or company with the log on, password, PIN or account number has control over the domain account. As such the person or company with that information can delete, renew, transfer, update, sell, give away, or close the account at any time without consent from the registrant or their knowledge. Should the website fail IGoMogul simply tells the registrant is it their fault. Should the website prove successful IGoMogul has the legal right to sell it and keep the money. Furthermore, the content placed on the website is copyrighted to whoever has the account information, so that also becomes the property of IGoMogul. IGoMogul can use GoDaddy design and development tools to create the site; this cost less than $50 a year.

At the end of the first 90, days IGoMogul demands more money, if you do not pay then they remove the ads from the free AdSense program and the website now requires a membership log in fee. If you want links added to your webpage IGoMogul asks for more money, again this is a free program that they do not pay for. The bottom line is that IGoMogul takes advantage of people who do not have the experience to realize everything provided by IGoMogul is free or costs less than $100 a year. IGoMogul also uses your Google account information to add Analytic, AdSense and the webmaster tool. All of these programs are free so IGoMogul pays nothing to use them. The webmaster tool is the most important one for IGoMogul to have access too. Should GoDaddy agree to transfer the domain account to you then IGoMogul still controls the website through the webmaster tool. Once IGoMogul has the code to the webmaster tool you are locked out and can not verify ownership of the website or use it. At this point it is a standoff, you can sell the domain name however IGoMogul is the only ones with access to what is added or removed from it. The website becomes worthless to both parties.

IGoMogul knows the odds are in their favor that they will not have to refund any money. Most people have used their credit cards to pay IGoMogul and are accruing interest, hiring a lawyer and the added expense of traveling back and forth to Phoenix is also beyond their means. Arizona small claims maximum is well below what most people have paid so they will take a loss if they pursue small claims and win. When faced with the options most people cut their losses, give up and go away. Should you file complaints with the Arizona BBB then IGoMogul says that if you sign a different agreement they will release control to you. If you agree to sign then you forfeit all the money you have paid IGoMogul and also agree not to pursue any further legal action against IGoMogul. Why should you sign an agreement to take control of something that IGoMogul was paid to create for you and register ownership for you in your name? IGoMogul claims that the Statement of Work protects them from lawsuits and being forced to give you a refund. If you read the SOW carefully, you will notice that it says they are working on a website for the client. Since IGoMogul owns and controls the website they are their own client and they are using your money to develop and design a website for themselves.

When push comes to shove and you demand verification of anything via email or mail IGoMogul refuses, they insist all conversations take place over the phone. If you should call them and you refuse to accept what they tell you, they then begin playing a phone shell game with you, transferring you from one person to the next until you give up. They want to play he said she said phone tag so that you do not have any proof as to what was said over the phone.

IGoMogul is a Scam

I started with iGoMogul last August. I got laid off and was looking for work to do from home and filled out some forms on the Internet. I got a call from a young lady wanting me to start with IgoMogul. She explained they would set me up a website for 199. I would make money off the Google ads and off the Rock Bottom Prices store they have you set up. She also told me I could make money writing articles for them on Writezilla and Postzila. She said it was their goal for everyone to make at 300 a week.

A few days after I sent them the 199 I got a call from the person who was supposed to be my account rep. He started rattling off all this stuff they were going to do for me, and when I asked him how much, he said around $3600.

I got furious and demanded a refund. The head of the representatives called me back and told me I didn't have to invest anymore money, that they had clients who had never paid more than the 199 and their websites were doing excellent. He told me to start writing articles for Writezilla and posting articles on my site.

This went well for a short time. Every couple of weeks I was allowed to advance to more articles.

Then in June of this year, when I went in to pull articles to write, it would only let me pull one instead of the 10 I had built myself up to. When I finally got hold of my rep, he told me I needed to invest a minimum of 1249 in the website, and guaranteed me that if I did this I would have five articles a day in Writezilla, and five articles a day in Postzilla, and would make the money back in no time, so I went ahead and did it.

A few days later, I'm still waiting for them to fix it so I can write the articles. I had not been set up for Postzilla yet and was only able to write two articles in Writezilla.

When I called my rep, they said he was no longer with the company and that I had a new rep. I spoke to her and she said she would go to the general manager and see what she could do. She got back in touch with me and said she got it set up for two articles in Writezilla and five in Postzilla.

A few days later I was cut back to one article a day in Writezilla, and three articles in Postzilla. My rep said her hands were tied and she couldn't do anything, this is where they set me. She said to call in a few weeks and she would try to set get me back up to five in Postzilla, and that they were phasing out Writezilla.

Today I went in to pull the three for Postzilla, and found that I could only do one. When I contacted her, she said they cut me back until I invest more money on my website.

I gave them almost every penny I had in the bank in June. Now can I not only make a little money, I basically cannot make more than 25 a week, and I don't doubt that they will eventually cut me all the way off.

I have sent them a notice asking if they want to buy the domain name back, even though from what I read, I really don't own it, however they did send me a certificate saying I do.

I am contacting the BBB and possibly a lawyer. I have medical conditions that require I keep my stress level down, and these people have just basically taken the food out of my mouth and roof from over my head.

I am a victim of igoMogul/Website Business. I sorely regret my purchase (it will take 12-15 yrs to recoup) and want to kick myself a thousand times for not investigating them before letting them talk me out of my credit card numbers. They should be ashamed - it's unfortunate that they somehow remain in business to continue scamming people.

This company is not a scam but my site hasn't made money. I paid the basic start up price, about $200. Their contracts are binding, you won't be successful at getting a refund. I have made about $400 writing articles from Writezilla but they haven't had any writing opportunities for several months. I did tell their reps to stop calling me because they were always pressuring for more money which I refuse to give them since I've had my site almost two years and no money has been made from it.

IgoMogul Fraud and cheating

I signed up with Igomogul in 2008. I was told for $199.99 I would get m y own basic website and nce it was up and running, I could write articles for them for $5.00 an article. After a certain number of articles, I would be able to write reviews on other websites for $5.00 a review. They did do what they promised, for me, getting a basic website set up, a domain name, and I was eventually writing 250-300 word articles and reviews. I actually made quite a bit of money through Igomogul doing this, over the past year. I had no complaints for a while until they suddenly without warning, took my review writing away. THey explained that unless I upgraded my website and spent another $1000.00-plus, I could only write articles. This became a nice little extra money for me, despite losing my review writing and I guess they saw how much I was making...I mean nothing extravagant, but about $130.00 a week. Suddenly, last week, they dropped me from writing 10 articles at a time, to 2. I called my account manager and found out that this was because they want me to upgrade my site and dump another $1200.00 into it. This was not the deal when I signed up. I was never told that I would have to spend anymore than the $200.00 for a basic site to be able to write for them. They clain their company is just growing too much, and how that affects me, I'll never know. He told me, "look at all the money you've already made, " and I say to that, "I make less than minimum wage with your company as is!" I am not rolling in the dough with this company by any means!

This makes me mad. I do not think that companies should be able to change policies on people like that without warning. Please do a lot of research on this company before signing up with them!

IgoMogul Threats

Igomogul is now threatening me with a lawsuit if I continue to make comments about their services. What a joke. I am only repeating what they did and I am not alone. The complaints here are exactly the same as mine. I find it amusing that when this company can not bully a person into an agreement they resort to threats.
If you have had any dealings with this company file complaints with IC3, Arizona BBB, Arizona State Attorney General and keep filing complaints until this company is investigated!

IgoMogul Bad Management

To get even with Igomogul I refused to authorize any charges over the initial $199.99. To insure this I closed the card soon after the initial charge.
Then I wrote a bunch of articles at $5.00 a piece in Writezilla. Now that I've got back about $400.00 I notice that almost every article I write gets a revision required notice from some so called editor. An example of their inconsistency: One week I write about a subject that has many facets. The article ends up with 470 some words. I get a Revision Needed notice to cut it down to around 350. The minimum word count is 250. I question the editor about how to do this given the amount of info required they said to be specific about a part of the overall question. I do and it passes. This week I get another revision notice that I need to include all issues in the article. These people are about crazy. They are trying to get me pissed enough to leave. I'm not leaving and neither should you.
They are about selling remade templates to the general public as a custom website. They almost got me but I found a way to get even, you can too.
Don't pay more for anything. Get the basic package. Write a bunch of articles and walk away with some of your money and some of theirs.

Take them don't let them take you.

Good luck.

IgoMogul misleading and building irrelevent linksto my websiteand chared a lot of money

I started this website 9 months ago with Igomogul. They told me I would make my money back fast with google AdSense. The site was not what I was looking for so we changed it to a bigger site which cost $4500 00. They told me I could make 400 to $600 a month with this site. I made nothing the first 6 months. Then they said I need to put links in so I gave them another $2250 . I started looking for my links and found they where irrelevant links which are no good. I call them to talk to them and I talk to some gal and said I needed to talk to my manager and he never return my calls. They have not live up to there promises . I have been mislead all the way. They also said when when I pay for the links that he would guarantee that I would make between $600 to $800 a month sill not a dime. They did not do a lot of other things that they should have, I have found out .

By Littlewoman

I have been waiting soo long for this review. This site is lowerer than an F. I got into this program in February, paid the $200 and was told that they had a writing program which I wanted to do. They said I could earn a lot of money through this program, yeah right! Over a six month period I make around $1150, that averages about 10 bucks a day! Their writing program is slow and unprofitable.

About 4 months into it, I started seeing monthly charges for the web site hosting, not what they promised. Then about 1 1/2 months later, they demanded I pay them almost 12 hundred for 'website updates' and when I said I didn't make any money from the website, not only did they cut off the writing program, but actually turned on me. I was demanded to pay and when I couldn't they got really rude with me.

My advice..stay well away from this company unless you like to throw your money away. And I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one scammed by this company.

IgoMogul I am a former employee

I used to work for this company and it is a complete joke. They try to get you to believe that you will make good money, but in all reality you wont. They don't give you enough opportunities to make hardly anything. The customer service reps(the 3) of them, act like they are there to help you and guide you through the websites but as soon as they hang up with you ALL, they make fun of you and how you all cant even set up your own websites and stores and learn how to properly write for there company. Not only that but the people you are all writing for on WriteZilla are just like you, you are writing articles to be placed on other peoples websites just like yours. Its really a joke of a company. Do not trust them. They have 3 account managers and 3 customer service reps and 5 editors.

I gave igomogul money thinking I was going to be taught how to build a website. All ofa sudden they were building one for me. All the time wanting more money. They act like they know what they are doing, but after listening to them their ideas that they act are brilliant are stupid. I wanted to learn something but they have nothing to teach. I am going to the Attorney General and BBC. I don't buy anything from AZ, UT or NV. Those 3 states have a license to steel.
