Another Scam By RebateProcessorJobs.com

So here's another company to keep an eye on it's called RebateProcessorJobs.com and it's the product of Cindy Dalton. This was presented to me in an email from trafficsupply-24.com. When I opened the email I noticed that I was redirected to the site for RebateProcessorJobs.com...sneaky I think. However this may just be an affiliate and not from Ms. Dalton herself. Again, I received another email from highlypaid-onlinejobs.info/ which opened up to....you guessed it RebateProcessorJobs.com. Again, probably another affiliate.



Now using the Rule of Thumb for investigating scams I checked the following:

  • Who Can I Contact If I Have Questions

  • What Is Their Refund Policy

  • What Info Is Available When Searching Reviews and Forums

  • What Info Is Listed With Whois.net

Here's What Happens


They do put a twist on this scam that makes it seem legit even when you become a member. There is a one-time $39 membership fee. What happens is you are sold training material on how to process rebates. They have you become a Clickbank affiliate and you market their digital products or E-books. The twist comes in when they suggest you offer a rebate on those products.

Now Clickbank is a reputable company and is a leader in digital products. However, these products when sold by you only offer a percentage of the sale. Commissions can range from 25% to 75% of the products value; so if you MARKET why would you want to offer a rebate and take less of that commission? That doesn't make sense since you can join Clickbank at no cost and keep ALL the commissions.

Notice I screamed market earlier? If you are looking for a legitimate work-at-home opportunity then you don't want to do any marketing period. It is a very difficult to be successful with Internet

Marketing. They will also suggest that you look into PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising which can be costly if you don't know what you're doing.

Now as I've said before you NEVER want to pay someone so you can make money....it doesn't make sense.

Using The Rule of Thumb

  • On their site they inform you that the only contact is via e-mail...red flag.
  • Their refund policy states No Refunds...red flag. Although you can fight this, see my other posts.
  • Forums and Reviews of RebateProcessorJobs seem to leave a bad taste in your mouth.
  • And Whois.net has no information other than their hosting account. See my other post on how to contact their web hosting account or.
