Home Income Cash Machine is a work at home opportunity selling a course that will train anyone to be successful and make money with link posting or, as they say, being a “Search Engine Agent.”
Home Income Cash Machine says that major companies will pay you an average of $15 for each link you post for them, and that each link takes about 4 minutes to post. This means that you should be able to do 15 links in one hour, for $225 an hour.
All you need to get started is to pay $49.95 for their Wealth Development Certification Program, which is the only certified link posting program in the world, according to their website.
What is The Truth About Link Posting?
First, link posting is actually a form of affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is when you partner with another company to promote their goods and services online. One way to do this is to post links.
However, Home Income Cash Machine significantly misrepresents this opportunity when they say you are “paid to post links.” You are not paid to post links. You are paid when the link you post results in a sale for that company. Unfortunately, that is very different.
Instead of being paid every 4 minutes for the link you post, you would be paid every time a sale goes through, which unfortunately is not likely to be every 4 minutes.
What You Should Know About Home Income Cash Machine
Home Income Cash Machine is selling a certification program for link posting. However, you do not need to be certified in link posting to work in affiliate marketing. It is an independent business opportunity, available to anyone.
Also, while their sales page says their program costs $49.95, the reality is that it actually costs $99.95. You have the option to get a $50.00 rebate if, when you receive the welcome email, you agree to take a survey. If you do not take the survey, you will not get your rebate.
Finally, they have a very specific and difficult refund policy. While they claim to have a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee, the truth is that to get your refund, you must following their training and use their program for 60 days, exactly.
If, at the end of 60 days, you can prove you used their program the entire time and failed to make back the money you invested in the program, then you have 7 days to request a refund. Additionally, the Home Income Cash Machine website states that were you to request your refund before you have tried the program for 60 days, you would forfeit your ability to qualify for a refund.

I'm a legal assistant, and have seen this crap far too often.
here are some suggestions if you find yourself the victim of a scam (and these suggestions are FREE):
1. check the company name with the BBB
2. check the STATE in which the company is advertising. go to the SECRETARY OF STATE website, look under CORPORATIONS, type in the name and you should be able to obtain all of the information on that company, if in fact it is legitimately registered.
3. check the contract language - always print out a copy of their promotional pages - THAT may help when you have to battle it out with your credit card company.
4. if you feel you've been scammed, immediately contact your credit card company and be very specific as to why you want a stop put on the payment (i.e.: paid for POSTING links - when in reality you are only paid when the links are accessed - there's a difference - the contractual language will get them every time).
5. contact the US attorney general or the AG in that state, request complaint forms.
the company i had to do battle with for my sister made the grave mistake of representing themselves as "lawyers". after checking with the ABA and US Bar Association, not surprisingly, no such lawyers existed, but, they identified themselves in writing as lawyers. after i gave them a choice of how they wanted to proceed (false impersonation of a lawyer, which is a crime - or - actually being a lawyer and engaging in criminal misconduct, also a crime - either of which i was fully prepared to report to the US attorney general and the national newspapers), they were very QUICK to withdraw their claims, refunded the money immediately and returned all items sent to them faster than &$@! through a goose.
do your research on these predators and let them know that you will not stop until you receive a FULL refund of ALL monies sent and that you will make sure that the PUBLIC is informed of the scam (threaten to have a news reporter at their offices).
all of the suggestions i just recited are FREE, you are not charged to make a complaint or check the status of a company.
Good luck to all of you. I hope you get your money back and your futures are prosperous.
You will be able to locate the company, the directors, AND the complaints (number of complaints AND number of resolved complaints) - and how many times the company has changed names/directors/locations, etc.
**the number of resolved complaints is usually low in number, compared to the actual number of complaints.**
Folks, be careful. don't be so quick to jump on the bandwagon. look both ways before you cross the street!
it took me about another 6 months of legal bantering back and forth (by mail) - i'm a legal assistant in NY - with this scam company, her credit card company, etc. in the end, we won, only because i was able to pick them apart LEGALLY and discovered they were committing crimes in writing.
I know times are tough, but don't get sucked into these "work from home" scams out of desperation. The money you'll lose and the accompanying aggravation just aren't worth it in the end.
Fyi: bookmark their pages. If you have to fight to get your money back, immediately complain to the credit card company and use the scam company's own "contract language" against them.
This priceless advice is free. Good luck to all.
