Freedom Agency Online is a new work at home business opportunity that is making its way around the internet. The advertisements for this program use the standard advertorial template, in this case featuring the story of a work at home mom who’s using this system to make an incredible income from home.
These advertorials or “fake news sites” are incredibly deceptive and have been greatly abused by a variety of marketers. They’ve been used to sell everything from diet pills to a plethora of work at home opportunities like Freedom Agency Online.
The affiliates using these tools have gotten so lazy that many times they don’t even update their news template before promoting a new product. If you actually take the time to thoroughly go through one of these advertorial sites you’ll find a bunch of inaccuracies and red flags.
When you do get to the main sales page for Freedom Agency Online you’ll also find lots of red flags and tricky marketing tactics. In fact the first thing that you see on the website is a statement saying that work from home opportunities have been featured on FoxNews, MSNBC, USATODAY, ABC, and CNN.
This is a basic credibility building technique, notice how the statement doesn’t say that Freedom Agency Online has been featured on those sites, moreover it doesn’t say in what capacity or provide links to the details.
The next statement claims that within 5 minutes of getting the program you could be making up to $87 per hour. All with no prior experience or any kind of special skills, and more importantly that there’s only a limited number of spots available.
Again these types of statements are designed to appeal to your emotions and create a false sense of urgency, getting you to make a rash decision without doing your due diligence.
So is Freedom Agency Online a Scam or Legit?
It’s hard to say what the opportunity actually is since there are multiple sales pages using this name brand. One was claiming that the course will teach you how to make money posting links (affiliate marketing) and another claimed that the course was going to teach you how to profit from eBay wholesaling products.
While both methods are legitimate methods of building an online business they are definitely not as easy as the hyped sales pages make them seem. No one makes money online with no skills and within the first day of starting.
Before you buy any work at home product make sure to read the terms and conditions and understand their refund policies. In the case of Freedom Agency Online their policy states that you must actively try to the program for 20 days before being eligible for your 30 day refund.
Do not underestimate the lack of soul these cons have.
Research the company by Googling them, or go onto forums and see what people are saying.(like this)
The only personal information a legitimate site will ever ask you for is your personal opinion, and perhaps your street address or PayPal address so they can make payments to you. But if a company ever asks you for your banking information or your credit card information, you can be sure it’s a scam, and one of the worst kinds! These sites only want access to your financial information so they can empty your accounts. These sites are actually looking to take your money, not to give you more.
Well the first thing that came up on my Google search is this 'reviewopedia.com' site and 'wah-lah'. The testimony is consistent. This is a highly thought out SCAM by some 'pro' scam artist. I'm willing to give up my $79 as the cost of my 'lessons learned'. I should listen to my own preaching and should have 'Googled' them before I paid for the "quote-un-quote" "online training program". Shame on me. Tomorrow morning (Monday) I am calling my credit card company that I charged this to and get them to cancel the credit card number and re-issue the card with a new number, just to protect against any possibility of credit card fraud.
I add my embarrassing testimony to all the others. This is a huge SCAM and borders on FRAUD.
This companies premise is based on lies and deceit. They will ask you once you sign up for personal information about your financial status, and then reschedule your free consultation with another one, telling you they are looking for someone intelligent to be in their "special" training group. Then you will be asked for thousands though i did not get that far.
Upon starting step one....You will be told online to post fake adds on craigs list pretending to give away a free product, so that people who then respond to you will believe they are getting a free product, which is another lie. Then you will be instructed once you have lied to someone else, to refer then to freedom online so that they can make money by falsely selling that person a pretend internet business that does not exist.
I refused to do anything once i found this out, as i don't want to commit acts of fraud and be involved in lying to others.
Guess they will have to face their maker one day!!!!
