This company, ie: 3500weekly.com and Internet Secrets.com are operated by a mother and son duo by the name of Jean and Randy... Jett I believe is the surname based in the USA.
One of the products they offer is to set up an Adsense series of pre-fabricated content websites (300) using your adsense and clickbank details.
It's clearly aimed at newbies... Of which I was one... To help get things off the ground so to speak. It cost US$25.
The requirement was that you had to sign up with the specified webhost. Gate.com, another point of 'helping the person get hosting'. As it turns out Gate pays a very generous US$125 to people that get them signups! So there's a tidy $US150 with no work done and, as it turns out, no intention of any work to be done.
Don't be fooled by the so called 'support email'. You get a response, yes, it is a series of fob offs, such as...'sorry lost your file'.'had problems with the server be give me 3 to 7 days'.'sorry be done Tuesday' and even 'it is done'.
They just get more and more incoherent until you just give up. The biggest thing that I have kicked myself for is while believing that they were indeed 'fixing things' I kept paying hosting fees at Gate.US$10 per month for nothing, perhaps they get commission on monthly fees as well, hence the 'stringing along', I'm not sure.
Anyhow all told, after 5 months, it cost me US$75 which for me is around AU$100 and a whole lot of aggrevation! I'm not an idiot but they got me good. I'll chalk it up to experience and remember that if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Hopefully telling you about it will save you the time and money.
Ps: I have spoken to others on other 'scam reporting sites' who have also dealt with these crooks.
