Wealth Development Center review: Angela Penbrook - A business scam! 28

I signed up with Wealth Development Center because I wanted to make some extra money.

According to their ad, they offered one-on-one counseling/advice on getting started.

I cannot get anyone to answer any of the contacts that I have tried to make and no one has contacted me from the original information that was submitted to them.

I just checked & I received at least 5 emails today, (January 24, 2016) endorsed by Donald Trump and reported on by CNN. I can't believe that CNN would really have anything to do with this. I plan on contacting CNN today to see if they really reported on this. What a crooked scheme that is presented as 100% legitimate. I hope that no one else ever falls for this and also hope that Trump had nothing to do with this. I will also contact his office to see if he really endorsed this program. I really hope that Trump didn't do this as this could cost him his bid for the President.

By the way, it is now January 24, 2016 and this was an email I got today. Thanks again, Herman Wolff

I am eternally grateful that I Googled & checked here before I tried this out. Thank everyone that reported on this scam. If it wasn't for all of you guys telling what a scam this is, I surely would have bought this program. By the way, this came in an email that featured Donald Trump as a speech that he gave. He actually recommends that every American should do this at a cost of only $97.00. He should be ashamed of himself for endorsing this program. Shame on him and all of the people who have reported on or recommended this program. Because of this, I now think that Trump is a crook and would never vote for him now.

I have just received this link and decided to look into the companies more closely. There were a couple of things that caught my eye 1. The references to the fact that the indicated amounts were not gained by most people who subscribed to the scheme, this seems to be a get-out clause against claims of false advertising
2. The repeated reference to 'education'. I think that they have got around any real grounds for a case against them because they are providing the education stated in the ads during that submission and payment process ... ie anyone paying money to them is going to learn a lesson to either not try these schemes in the future or to do some research themselves prior to committing.

PAINFUL lessons to learn but unfortunately it strikes me that they can claim this as the purpose and so those people who purchased it have in fact got what they paid for.

If you look into the companies closer you will find out that one is registered in China ... that should say everything. The Chinese are one of the biggest cyber-racketeering nations out there in the 'dark-web'.

I do not often come across these types of schemes but I have always checked them out and I have yet to find one that is legitimate ... but you never know maybe one day one will actually provide all the benefits the hype says ... wait a minute what am I saying ... the only way to make an honest living is off your own back not some-ones get rich quick scheme.

The only way to get rich quick off one of these scheme is to be the one to create it and wait until good honest folk send their hard earned cash (often all they have or worse don't have!) ... I am not suggesting that it is something anyone should do though!

Well Thank you guys! I almost made the purchase but now I'm glad I didn't. I guess if its too good to be true it probably is. If something like this really existed everyone would be doing it.

I just paid $97 to a promise of a too good to be true online job. I am warning people out there, please do not do it. This must be a big scam. They said within 5 minutes i will receive a username and a password to my e-mail address, but now hours have gone by. I am going straight to the bank to stop that transaction. seriously whoever is running this fake thing ought to be locked up. She or he is not supposed to walk the streets, cheating people out of their hard earned money. The police department and private investigators must hear this all over the United States. This is a criminal act, theft, and disgusting in general.

WOW NOW ALL OF THESE ADS ARE FROM 2008, we are now in 2011, i did not pay for it
it does seems to good to be true
i do know wealth takes a process- there is no get rick quick method
i dont wanna loose so i will agree with all of you who posted in 2008
just received an email from a friend who said it works but I dont know

Can't the FCC (or someone else?) do something about this? This is so very sad with the economy and national job situation the way it is. Also because of the high unemployment rate people will try something like this and send in money for the "training kits" because it 'sounds' so good. This is deception and theft at it's worst and needs to be stopped immediately as do many/all of the other scams online for jobs that are a Black Hole...on Craig's List and many other places as well. Point blank, nobody should EVER have to pay to get a job! This just totally disgusts me as I clicked on a link that was posted as an ad on my local newspaper's that was posted to read like a news story about Internet Work at Home Scams (but theirs wasn't)...this one was by Kelly Richards (after some investigative work I found that Kelly lives in several cities and her story is the same for each city this/these ad(s) are geared to. Gee, she is a busy lady! Long story short (Yes, my comment is long...sorry!), this totally makes me burn with RAGE!

I had the same problem with this company. They asked me to pay $197 to get acces to rebate processing. I haven't received any earning, and I still checking the links. This company is a fraud, there has to be something to stop them; This is a really bad business.

Well within three days after I agreed to pay the $197.00, I clearly told this company that I was not interested and asked for an immediate refund of my credit card. This was on Feruary 25, 2008. I have yet to receive my refund. I, too, downloaded their materials and found it to be talking about placiung ads, blogging, etc. in other words, I had to spend money, more money. This is a bad business scamm.

After I agreed to pay the $197.00 and tried to print out the 65 pages, I was only able to print 7. Then what I was reading was talking about having to place ads, blogging, and websites. This is not making money, it is spending money. Thanks to Lori Overy for the telephone #. I called today and was treated politely, and was told they would submit the refund to my account, but it may take 5-7 days. I will feel lucky if I do obtain the refund. I didn't feel that I was gulible, but I was. I took the chance on finding something on the company today and found these complaints.

I've tried emailing them and my email came back unresponsive and can't seem to get my credit union to provide me any info on this company. However I'm told I can't stop payment on it that I have to go thru the company but how do I do that if I have no contact info. That's what I'm trying to explain to the credit union.

I got scammed also! I have been trying to link on to the website to try to get started and can't seem to do so. What a cruel thing to do those of us who are trying to make an honest living. I am disputing the $197.00 charge to my credit card. Unfortunately i couldn't cancel befire the charge went through. I hope everyone makes a complaint about Angela Penbrook's Scam.

I was also completely fooled by this website. It is such an alluring promise for those who struggle to pay bills, it's a cruel trick. It took me a few hours to fully realise what I did and now I feel sick to my stomach to think of how stupid I was, to think of how much I almost threw away. I hope that someone shuts down this website before more damage is done. I was just lucky I was able to cancel my credit card before the transaction went through. But as thankful as I am to know that my money's safe, I feel as if I should warn everyone else about this. Just like identity theft, you never think it will happen to you until it hits you in the face.

I too was just completely duped! I'm calling to cancel my credit card as I type. It all seemed so legit until I got to the 53 page "guide book" that had nothing to do with processing rebates and received no confirmation links or e-mails. Well, as P.T. Barnum said "there's a sucker born every minute"...happy birthday to me!

I also was almost fooled into trying this "to good to be true" offer. I was about to enter my information when my spouse said to investigate them and see if it is a legitimate place. I am glad that I did or I would have been out of $197.00 that I don't have to waste so someone else can get rich off my hard work.

i just logged onto angela's site on saturday morning. haven't been able to access her e-book since. yeah! I know I was stupid! it all sounded so plausible. I feel like a fool. so all of you out there, watch out for angela penbrook's junk mail

Im glad I googled her name before we clicked the submit button. Im also glad I found this website, my mom and I were about to do this! I guess the saying "if its to good to be true then its not true" is right.

I wish I had checked for something like this site before hitting the submit button. I too fell for the Angela Penbrook rebate processing story. I thought it was strange that I never received any type of email confirmation after hitting the submit button. Every time I have purchased or did any thing online I always receive an email confirmation. I did receive a 52 page document with directions but the information provided was very different from what was stated on the site that got me interested. And it required me setting up so many different accounts, which I did not do just out of pure confusion. The demo on the site seemed so easy and everything in this document was very confusing. When I tried to go back to the link where I submitted my information it was no longer available. I thank everyone who posted their experience because now I know that I need to also contact my Bank to try to recover my $197, but if nothing else close my account so they don't access it further. Thank you all and I hope this helps someone else from sufferring the same.

I'm sorry for those people who felt for that Angela, it's an outrage. I too was about to put my credit card information, when I decided to google her name and it came with suprising results. I really appreciate that you guys put your comments, because if it wasn't for the comments, I too would have been scam. Thanks.

Hey guys this is very interesting for the people that want to work from home, I still don't know how it works because I just sign up to this website, but it's interesting because at least it's reliable or at least I think because I went to www.bbbonline.org, which stands for a Better Business Bureau online, and you can research to see if the company is reliable. One of the companies that was in there it's the Business Online System. Their website is www.theonlinebusiness.com, and at least it has the logo that it has been approve on the website of Better Business Bureau, but like I say I barely signed up for it today, so I can vouch for it, but at least the www.bbbonline.org can. Good luck to you all guys, and sorry for the lost.

I guess i got scammed as well. I had the product for 2 months and still haven't got a chance to log on and start my business. Well i guess we all were eatting by this shark but I'm calling my bank to investigate this company. I will make sure I tell everybody I know don"t fall for this fabricated email- delete it ASAP.

I feel I was just scammed myself. I have gone through all the information and just feel totally let down. Then I get a call tonight regarding the Angela Penbrook program and I get a phone number. That number is [protected]. I just called it and gave them some information and they stated they would refund my money to my account. I also got a confirmation number. (I know does not mean anything) They say it would take 5 to 7 days for it to happen. I guess I will be waiting to see.
I hope perhaps this information will help.
Thanks

Thank you for alerting us to your plights. My wife and I were skeptical, but felt it would be worth the risk. I'm glad we checked for web sites that might give us this information before we clicked the submit button. It is just so hard not to get sucked in to some of these scams as they do sound just like something we were looking for. Thank you again.

I also was scammed by penbrook. My bank refused to file a dispute against the company.

I filed a report with complain.ic3.gov.

I am asking everyone that got scammed by them to file a report. Maybe when they see so many reports being filed they will escalate it to an agency that will do something.

Thanks.

I too, was scammed. It all looked so legit! I feel like such a ### for actually believing it. I am no longer able to sign into the website, either. I will call my credit card company in the morning and hopefully they will refund the money. If not... I've just learned a $197 lesson! I hope nobody else falls for this mess.

I too just got scamed, I just paid $197 to Penbrook Production; however, I just learned a lesson. Check the companies' background before engaging into business with them, which I should have done first. I'm sure the banks will credit this amount.

i tried to get to the link they give to start working . I can not get anuthing if by tonigh don't get any anawer to this matter i' going to call the bank and I'm going to let them know what happen. to cancelled
