The Work at Home Institute, found online at WAHInstitute.com, is a work at home opportunity from “the #1 job consultant in America,” Bobbie Robinson, which promises anyone can earn money from home.
Like an extremely high percentage of other work at home opportunities out there, Work at Home Institute claims to teach people how to post links online to make a large amount of money from home with little time and effort.
This program is currently discounted to $97 and comes with a two month money back guarantee if you try it and determine you are not making money and are not satisfied with the product you have received.
Signs of a Scam
The Work at Home Institute exhibits many of the classic red flags that are associated with unethical work at home opportunities. It is important to remember that these work at home opportunities are actually independent business opportunities.
As an independent business opportunity, it is misleading to make earning statements, since there are too many factors which will determine an individual’s income.
In addition, the sales page makes statements about certifications and “guarantees” of a position as a “Search Engine Agent.” Link posting and affiliate marketing require no forms of certification and the only people who use the term “Search Engine Agent” are companies trying to sell you training programs for this fabricated job.
The Reality
What Work at Home Institute calls a “Search Engine Agent” is actually an affiliate marketer, which is a legitimate independent business, though unfortunately one which takes far more time, effort, and money than is described on their sales page.
Also, historically speaking, these types of training programs usually don’t provide much more information than what you can find for free online, the one benefit being that it is usually organized in an efficient manner.
The website does mention a two month money back guarantee, but this refund is not well detailed in their Terms & Conditions or their Policy outline, stating that “if you are not making and are not satisfied” you can ask for a refund of your membership fee.
Similar companies usually use these types of policies to say that if you make even a dollar from their program you are no longer eligible for their refund. Or, immediately after you sign up for the program you are asked to invest larger sums of money which are then not eligible for refund.
If you decide to take a chance on any affiliate marketing training programs, be careful about the amount of money you are investing, and never invest more than you are comfortable losing.
As an extra precaution, most online purchases should be made with a major credit card, so if you have issues with fraudulent charges, the credit card company can help you get your money back.

"What goes around, comes around"
Good Luck!
money. Like $200 plus. Tried to call the support number 1-855-727-4231. Got hung up on. Kept calling got the sounds you hear when a number has been
disconnected. So people have no conscience. Waste of time and money.
I will contact the Better Business Bureau!
GUARANTEED!! YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY THAT YOU USE WILL HELP YOU & YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY BACK!! THEY WILL BE THE ONE TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE MERCHANT. "I FOUND OUT WHEN I HAD AN EXPERIENCE WITH A COMPANY THAT I WANT A "REFUND" THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY DON'T DEAL WITH THE MERCHANT/COMPANY BUT "THEY DEAL WITH THE BANK THAT THESE COMPANIES ARE USING TO DEPOSIT THEIR INCOME"
You won't get your money back by contacting Better Business Bureau.
I'm sure this will help you.

Misleading adds stated totally different info than what is presented to you. Adds stated money back anytime within 60 days. I have called 855-727-4231 and they refuse to give me my $97.00 back. Keep stating I have to wait at least 30 days for my money back.
I can't believe I fell for this scam.
These people are evil!!!
