As a member of a popular traffic exchange I received an offer from an organisation named Worldprofit which promised 50,000 free visitors to a website of your choice for free if you sign up as a free associate member with no obligation. Worldprofit is apparently a Canadian company, but they charge in US dollars for paid memberships.

I signed up as a free member. When I logged in I immediately ended up in a chat room with a live operator on webcam, unexpectedly calling my name. The operator ultimately wanted me to pay $99.95 to pay for 1 months trial of their silver package which is supposed to be an amazing money making and work from home opportunity / home business opportunity where staff are constantly there monitoring and helping you make money throughout. If this is the case, it actually sounds good, but I’ve seen so many failed money making schemes that I’m extremely sceptical and careful, I demand to see results before I spend my hard earned money.

Firstly I was advised to watch a video narrated by Dr Jeffrey Lant which turned out to be a sales video promoting a silver package membership trial for $99.95 for just 1 month. After watching the video, I returned to the main room to be asked if I was now ready to purchase the offer. The operator used pressure selling and other hard sell techniques which included bonus offers that expire after a certain time, E.g. 2 minutes, counting down. I repeatedly declined all offers and persuasion to pay $99.95 and I wanted my free 50,000 visits to a web site of my choice as clearly advertised.

To get my free 50,000 website visits I was told I have to attend a 15 minute live webcast hosted by Dr. Jeffrey Lant, the same person who hosted the video. The live webcast is once a day and to qualify for your free credits you had to attend the entire webcast from start to finish. I made sure I was there early and entered the webcast chat room to listen to another 15 minutes of extreme hard sell from Dr. Jeffrey Lant. He then told us to return to the main chat room where the real hard sell began. I was bombarded by messages, trying to persuade me to pay $99.95 along with another time sensitive offer. It was obviously all one sided, telling me that it’s an amazing offer and that I will certainly make money if I pay it. They went on talking about how much support members get from the staff and how this work from home scheme is better than anything else. Another staff member kept asking me to go to a private chat room where I received more hard sell. I felt very awkward as if I’d wasted their time, almost guilty and I believe that’s a technique used to sell the product.

After I declined all the offers throughout the continued hard sell, I went to claim my 50,000 free credits as promised, but was surprised to see that they weren’t available and instead it was still telling me I have to attend the next live webcast. I went to the main chat room and asked what was going on and why I hadn’t received my credits. The live operator wasn’t pleased at all that I was complaining and was quite abrupt. When I tried to ask again where my credits were, I was thrown out of the chat room immediately despite not being abusive in any way what-so-ever, making a valid complaint. I returned wandering if there had been a fault, but I kept getting thrown out. I tried to ask what was going on before I got chucked out and then found I was locked out of my account completely without my promised credits. It seems that unless you are willing to spend a lot of money, you are simply discarded in the gutter without the free gifts as advertised and promised. In my opinion, they then lie and say you have been abusive in an excuse not to give people the free gift they are entitled to and this is in my opinion corrupt and a possible scam! (Update: I’ve had my free credits finally after complaining in writing, well about 10% of them, please read my comments!)

Another person earlier asked a valid question in the chat room and got told nastily to either buy the package or, “get lost” by Dr Jeffrey Lant himself who happened to be talking on the main chat room at the time. When he wrote words to complain how he was being spoken to, he was also thrown out of the chat room completely and probably banned too as he didn’t return.

Worldprofit have so far lied about my 50,000 free credits as I most certainly haven’t received them (Update: I’ve since had a few of my free credits after complaining in writing, please read my comments). They are in my opinion only interested in one thing and that’s getting people to spend their hard earned cash. If anyone dares to complain in any way what-so-ever on the main chat room, even if it’s a valid complaint, they will be banned so people only see a biased and one sided picture of the company. The way this company is operating is in my opinion totally and utterly disgusting. Also they are in my opinion using every hard sales trick under the sun to sell the silver package no matter what. I suspect that after you purchase the silver package trial, they’d be soon on your case to get you to agree to pay for it every single month and then to get you to upgrade to pay almost $200 a month for the platinum package after that. Because of all this I certainly wouldn’t risk spending the initial $99.95 with them for just a month’s silver membership trial as if they treat people like this, how do they treat people once they’ve got your money? I will also note that people in the main chat room were ignored by the live operator once they’d purchased the $99.95 plan, which doesn’t look good either.

In short the only person who is definitely guaranteed to make money directly from your $99.95 investment and potentially $1194.40 a year for silver membership or even £2399.40 a year for platinum membership is Dr Jeffrey Lant himself. He is certainly a very clever and successful business man as he is earning masses of money from his very successful enterprise, but do the majority of members also make money from their investments? Would you really trust Dr Jeffrey Lant with so much of your hard earned money?

I cannot review the actual product offered, but it’s a fact that Worldprofit have ripped me off 50,000 free web-site visits and have banned me for simply complaining about it (Update: well it was at the time of writing – please read my comments as I’ve now had some free credits after complaining in writing). They certainly sell very hard using clever tried and tested techniques. It’s a fact that one of the main products people are encouraged to sell is the system itself, this is therefore a pyramid scheme as there will always be a lot more people at the bottom who lose out as the system becomes saturated, but they do say there’s other products and various other money making opportunities too. They say you get around £400 worth of products to keep for the initial $99.95 outlay, but they are mainly Ebooks with master reseller rights. I have tried to sell similar Ebooks on Ebay in the past and have struggled to get £1 for one despite their apparent worth. From experience people rarely pay for marketing Ebooks like this and it’s in my opinion a way to make people think they are getting much more than they really are in value.

Because members get money from selling the product itself, many reviews are likely to be very biased and one sided across the Internet as they link to affiliate links.

In the Worldprofit’s favour, they are a member of an organisation named the Better Business Bureau in Canada with a rating of A- at the time of writing which must mean something surely? There are also over 450,00 members according to them at the time of writing and they’ve been established for over 15 years, surely this must mean something too? Perhaps the actual product they are selling isn’t too bad after all and maybe if you work hard you will make money? Well I don’t know and don’t want to risk it after how I’ve been treated so far, but why hard sell the product so much if it’s a respectable genuine product that really does work?

I have written a complaint to Worldprofit and am awaiting a reply, if I get one I will update. I would also welcome anyone’s genuine experiences of Worldprofit that don’t include an affiliate link making them biased. Please feel free to join PJCNET if you haven’t done so already and comment.
