Please save your money. Do not buy anything from them. Lot of people have lost their money. During their demonstration they create a website and instantly it starts to make money. While we may not be that foolish to think our websites will do the same, we do expect that we could make some money over time.

However, that is not the case. People with hundreds of websites are making 20 cents a month after 6 months for ALL of their websites.

The program costs $6, 000 and then a further $6, 000 to lease domain names. At 20 cents a month or even $20 a month it will a very long time to get your money back. On top of it all in 12 months time the lease on the domains expire and you have to pay again so every year the cost gets higher so the return will take longer.

Please, please do not make the mistake I made. Save your money and invest it wisely. There are no get rich quick schemes. Internet is a vast sea with no limits or end in sight. It is a digital space where only servers and disk drives exists so there is no end to the number of websites that can exist. The website we create are only a microscopic dot in the oceans of the internet.

Please don't be fooled like I was.

I agree with all the comments made here that Speedlings is a scam, right down to the rude support staff and the loss of $8000. Adam started adding more things you "need" for successful websites as time went on. He never once answered any questions I had at the webinars and he did chastise us like little kids. I lost more time of my first (and only!) year when he did an upgrade to Speedlings 2.0 and when I asked about that, that I should get an additional 3 months more time since the websites had to go through the search engines again, his staff were very rude about it and so I refused to renew the domain names. Someone (Adam) is getting rich off this but it's not us! I'm all for a class action suit. I learned about his opportunity also through a Trump seminar and felt that the other opportunities (ie. real estate) were scams as well as they wanted more and more money for more education. Trump got richer and we got nothing!

I suffered the same fate. Spedlings did not deliver as promised by Adam Ginsberg. I also want my money back
Please direct me to a genuine class action as most of those keywords has already been controlled by Adam and rattles all his so called success stories

Definitely we should organize a class action. I got taken for the usual ride, and then see he is back peddling some new product here in Australia at the Tony Robbins event! Shame on both of them.

Does anyone have a lawyer friend or contact? Lets get back at this scam artist, and stop others from being parted from their hard earned.

We need to join forces and organize a group to file a class actions suite--this is absolute nonsense and criminal. I lost $12K last year in initial fees and domain credits and this clown was 2 domain credits to move the domain to another hosting service. Let's ban together and get something organized--email me at tchikovani AT Yahoo DOT com.

same here guys. I got suckered into the whole speedlings scam as well. Especially since the new speedlings 2, 0 came out. the little revenue that i did start making has also stopped. Now adam thinks that the whole world is going to start blasting ebay trying to sell these crappy sites to other people. GIVE US ALL OUR MONEY BACK ADAM GINSBERG! Stop telling people stories about your mum, and come out with the truth about how you have scammed everyone. The funny thing is that there is not a single success story anywhere for speedlings. Adam asks people to make up success stories and offers them rewards for making it sound like the best story ever. I have attended all of his webinars, and he just likes to blame everyone but himself. If you've not invested in speedlings, then i suggest you stay well clear of this scam. I feel really bad cause i got a couple of my friends to invest in this ### as well! sorry for the bad language, but im a little pissed off with the whole thing.

My year is now up! Has anyone that purchased Speedlings (and domains) on a credit card tried to get their credit card company to get their money back for them for the product not being what they paid for? I put in over $12K ($6K initial and over $6K for domains, and I'm going to try to recoup some of this.) I kept my end of the deal by making the 30 sites per month like the "contract" I signed stated, I watched many webinars, followed strategies, and believe me put in WAY MORE than the 5-8 hours per week that Adam said it would take (with his "set it and forget it" make money while you sleep strategy.) But Speedlings changed this contract and the TOS and it doesn't look like they want to stand by their guarantee, as they keep changing what is/was required to get the "no risk, double your money back guarantee." Speedlings didn't do what it was supposed to do, and I want my money back. I'd like to compare notes and share strategies, especially if you have had any success with recouping your money through a credit card (or any other way!) You can also email me at charlotteandgeorge at gmail if you'd like, PLEASE put SPEEDLINGS in the subject line, thanks.

I wish all these posts were present a year ago BEFORE I was scammed by Adam and his joke, "Speedlings". Unfortunately, I did not create a minimum of 30 sites per month so I am not entitled to receive a refund at the end of a year (June, 2011). Tech support is non-existent. I have contacted them over 10 times in the last year and NEVER received a reply. He no longer makes his so called webinars available if you were unable to to hear them live. He has a major "screw you" attitude toward everyone except those who have been foolish enough to spend many thousands of dollars to continue with the program. I am bowing out of the program, however he has my credit card and will try to get the $2000 renewal fee even WITHOUT my consent!

I wholeheartedly agree that Speedlings is nothing more than a big scam. In the presentation that Adam Ginsberg provided in front of a Trump real estate investment class I attended (and subsequently signed up for Speedlings through) Ginsberg asked a supposedly random person to pick a supposedly random topic (vinyl records) which he easily created a site based upon and within minutes the site starting making money. Ginsberg also misled everyone who signed up for Speedlings that we would likely make money from Speedlings through ebay but Ginsberg failed to mention that it is virtually impossible to get a ebay affiliate account in order to make any money from Speedlings through ebay. Ginsberg has the nerve to charge an annual $2, 000 renewal fee after charging the initial $6, 000 knowing that the vast majority of people are not making any money through Speedlings. Ginsberg is nothing more than a con artist and should be ashamed of himself for marketing his Speedlings fraud; unfortunately he covers himself well legally otherwise I would love to form a class action suit to get my and all of his other hundreds (if not thousands) of victims' hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of lost dollars back. -Gary Smith, P.E. garysmithengineer@hotmail.com

Nice to find this post! I was very fortunate to get 5 sites and 5 free for $1000. I couldn't imagine having spent more money than that - because I"m upset enough as it is.

I actually attended his webinar through the trump university so I thought it was up and up. He made it seem like a dream in his webinar and I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Soon I realized that he was completely in it for other people's money and not for the benefit of us.

He's rude and arrogant on the webinars and I stopped listening a long time ago. Plus his staff is full of rude and arrogant people! Worst customer support I have ever experienced! They pretty much told me off when I got upset about their crappy answers and shut down my ticket. They have been rude and arrogant and made me feel like I am a pest for asking questions or requesting help. And he thinks he`s going to get repeat customers with that type of business skill-set? These people are paying thousands of dollars for his crap.

My twitter accounts got shut down because of his autotwitter. Thank god my adsense didn't get affected.

The problem with him, besides his bad business skills, is he doesn't take credit for the crap he's putting out there. He blames the people buying it and never ever admits that he may be in the wrong. Webinars are full of statements that make you feel like a child getting your hand slapped. I personally think he may have a mental problem.

And speedlings is full of crappy sites that are taking up good domain names. I'm pissed that some really good domains names lead to speedlings sites that obviously have no information on them because the poor sucker 'set it and forgot about it' like he was told to do. So sad.

Oh and I made $.15 one month from something he had on there and I never saw that money. Yeah it's $.15 but I'm assuming if he's pocketing that and everyone else money + the money he's charging for this 'service' he's making a killing being a scammer.

I purchased the program also a little over a year ago. I loved the idea of passive income! Set it up and then forget it...in time watch the money rolling in. You also are sold that you don't have to know anything about technology because the website is designed for you...the complete package! RIGHT!
My stats: it's been over a year and I've only earned a little over $100 with over 100 websites. Where's my $1 a day per website...I mean...I gave it more than the 60-90 day set up time. Where's my $100 plus a day?
SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE HYPE! DON'T DO IT! I've lost close to $10, 000.00...devestation!

I will say this about the comment Adam said about the software being a "set it and forget it". In my opinion he did misrepresent what the software can and will do. You can set it and forget it, but you will only make pennies each month which is what a lot of people are complaining about. Like any business you have to put time in to it to make it successful, so if you only want to make pennies a month then set it and forget it. Otherwise, take the time to learn SEO techniques. Choose proper keywords that are money keywords. Write original articles or have someone write them for you. Get backlinks to your sites to increase your rankings. There is a wealth of information out there that you can learn how to do all this. For the past several months that's all I've been doing, researching SEO. I hame many, many speedlings site and if I had known then what I know now I'd be in a lot better shape. I have been implementing what I've learned lately and I now have several sites that are on page 1 of Google and are starting to make $1.00 a day or more. Adam did say there is no promise to making money. I'm not trying to defend him, but like I said earlier you have to treat this as a business, so you'll only get out of it what you put into it.

Welcome to the sad world of Speedlings Victim dude! I have had the exact same experience – $6, 000 out of pocket and 54 cents income to date! .

The con is not the software which in itself does everything claimed – though you have to wonder what it is doing to the internet with all these bogus shell redirecting websites being created! Notice how much harder it is getting to research any topic without being bombarded with non-websites?

No, the con is in the amount of revenue promised and the cost of renewing the sites every year. Every site has to cover its original price lease cost every year plus recoup the $6, 000 initial outlay…hmmmm! They didn’t tell me THAT- even when I asked them at the sales pitch…so I thought everything was legit! .

Let’s expose these tricksters using everything at our disposal and help inform the next wave of wannerbies before they do their dough!

I'm doing my bit at speedlingsvictim.blogspot.com and support your activities to do the same.
