The Work At Home University, or WAH University for short, located at www.WAHUniversity.com, is a new training program for those looking to earn money with their own home business.
Their website claims that with just 60 minutes a day to spare, you can have a proven, certified, and guaranteed way to earn money with your own online business. No prior experience or skills are required, and it is a simple step by step program that anyone can follow.
If you are interested in purchasing the WAH University training program, there is a one time fee of $97.00, but their payment page claims that once you purchase, they have a 365 Day Make Money Guaranteed refund policy.
The Concerns
The first and most problematic concern with the Work at Home University is that they never say exactly what you’ll be trained to do. They ask you to pay almost $100 for a “proven method” but they never explain what that method is.
There are many different legitimate online business systems that people use to earn money every day. However, just because a business gives you the ability to earn money, does not mean that you will enjoy it or that it will be a good fit for you, and that will limit your success.
In addition, WAH University does not actually offer a 365 refund policy, their Terms & Conditions state that they only offer a 60 day refund policy, and that this policy will only be honored if you can proved that you followed their system perfectly and still failed to earn even $1. If you cannot do this, your refund will not be honored.
Simply Click to Profit
Reading the Terms and Conditions also reveals that the Work at Home University is a division of Simply Click to Profit, another work at home business opportunity that trains people how to be an Auction Listing Agent.
An Auction Listing Agent is someone who uses a dropship company to list items on auction websites or online stores. They pay wholesale prices for the items, attempt to sell them at retail, and then keep the profits for themselves.
If being an Auction Listing Agent appeals to you, there are many free resources available online that will walk you through the particulars of that job, including resources on eBay itself, or at the major dropship companies, like Doba.
And please keep in mind that when you provide your contact information to WAHUniversity.com, you are giving them and their partner companies permission to contact you, even if you are registered on the National Do Not Call list.
This should have been a red flag for me, but unfortunately I fell for the offer. Even after going over the info provided it didn't make sense and was very confusing concerning how things worked. Don't fall for this SCAM.
According to the FTC, the defendants operated under various brand names, including Work At Home EDU, Work At Home Program, Work At Home Ecademy, Work At Home University, Work At Home Revenue and Work at Home Institute. They routinely claimed people could earn “hundreds of dollars per hour from home, without any special skills or experience.”
The defendants used online “native” advertising – promotional content that resembles the non-advertising material beside it – to reach consumers who were researching work-at-home opportunities on the internet. For example, they placed a link to their Work At Home EDU website near an article about working from home on the website Forbes.com.
Bobby J. Robinson, Michael Sirois, Bob Robinson LLC, Mega Export 2005 Inc., Mega Export USA Inc. and Netcore Solutions LLC are charged with violating the FTC Act and the FTC’s Business Opportunity Rule. The Rule requires business opportunity sellers to make certain disclosures to help consumers evaluate the opportunity, and prohibits such sellers from making earnings claims without adequate substantiation.
The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint was 2-0. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, entered a temporary restraining order against the defendants on August 8, 2017. The FTC has requested the entry of a preliminary injunction that would halt the scheme until trial. An evidentiary hearing on the request is set for August 24, 2017.
NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the law has been or is being violated and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The case will be decided by the court.
