Hi Warriors

Thanks

I have looked at this myself and Marcus seems like a down to earth cool guy.
However the price tag is huge and even though he makes it look and sound easy to make money with these sites, that doesn't mean it will be for you or I.
I think he also does a 'bite size' version of the programme for $97 or something so it may be worth purchasing that first to see if it produces results.
If you go ahead please keep me informed as I have been looking at this for a while now.

From what ive read its a good product, i researched and found out it was of quality and this is why i made a review about it.

I bought this product from a webinar hosted by Austin Walsh. The box containing the DVD, short manual, quick guide and head phones arrived in about a week. The content is really quite good and takes you step by step to creating profitable online business.

My issue is support. It doesn't exist. My setup did not include access to the members area which I am supposed to have for 90 days (it's $97 a month after then). The training videos refer to the members area and looks like it contains some really good content but I could never access it.

I sent in a support ticket to get access to the members area. After 6 days I sent in another support ticket. Still no response. Then I called the 800 number and got a recording that referred me right back to the support ticket system.

I now have submitted a refund request but have not received any acknowledgement of the request.

I don't know if I'll ever see a refund.

Really a shame as Marcus has an easy going teaching style that I like and seems to know what he's talking about. He talks a lot about giving potential customers what they want and then ignores actual customers.

I bought MArcus Campbell coaching program that included this simple site big profit package also.

The coaching, which Marcus offered to me on the phone but you have all heard of on his webinars,
had a refund policy. It was basically that if i had a high traffic site, that he would simply
design banners to put on the right column and for sure i would make at the minimum
300-500 more per month. Tried several banners, and it was clear it wouldnt do any
better than what i was already doing. nothing like even 300 more per month.

Long story short, i eventually asked Marcus for a refund, he was accepting,
saying i first had to receive the bonus package and return it to him, which i did.

After he receive it he said right now he couldnt refund
because of a paypal account issue of his. It dragged on a bit.
He told me to ask the credit card company to issue a refund.
The credit card company told me unless the order is physical, that they dont issue refunds.
The thank you email for the transaction doesnt include a listing of the physical bonus,
but seems carefully written so that you cant ask for a refund:
"Application Fee For Blog Profit Network - $997.00"

I told Marcus that Visa wont refund non physical products unless a physical item and value
is stated - he basically told me to screw myself. That he was tired of people like me that
we piss him off. That i just have to get my goddamn refund.

I repeated visa wont allow non physical orders to be refunded.
HE again simply replied to get my goddamn refund, that sure they (visa) can do it.

Then he told me i was wasting his time.

I am not here to bash anyone, but i want everyone to know what happened to me
so it doesnt happen to them.
I will never ever trust this Marcus Campbell again.

He acted like i was an a-hole he was the victim, when i got scammed by him.

the 1000 was all i had, and i trusted him.
1k is probably nothing to him, but to me its everything, yet
he prefers scamming me by not paying me back, completely indifferent.

I can even publish our skype conversation if its really needed.

how can you make a review of something you haven't tried yourself?

Reading other positive reviews from people who may not have tried the product out themselves is not good research?????

@micfo07 - Something similar happened to me a few years ago - not by Marcus Campbell who I had had no dealings with. Anyway the guy I dealt with (who made lots of promises, took payment and never delivered) got difficult until I said I was reporting him to the authorities. In the UK we have a specific police task force dealing with internet crime and fraud. So check out where you live whether there is a similar protection, check out where any seller you buy from is based - (should be on any email sent to you) and then you can forward any proof of fraud (payment receipts, course description, follow up emails/skype etc) to the relevant department. If you paid by paypal you can also open a dispute - they say they dont get involved in non physical products but I opened one on a software issue I was having and I had my refund less than 30 mins later. Not saying it could happen with you but ............

Also VISA should get involved if you are dealing with a case of fraud. Write to them with all of the above information and they should investigate. It is one of the benefits of using a credit card rather than cash. Fraud is fraud whether it happens on the high street or online.

I have no issue with Marcus Campbell as I have never dealt with him and have never even heard of him. Obviously I was not party to your transaction and therefore am not making any comment, negative or otherwise on Marcus or his products. I looked at this thread as I thought it was talking about a product with a similar name.

And the above post struck a cord with me - When I was in trouble with my issue a fantastic warrior - Bev Clement (RIP) helped me out. I hope you get your issues resolved.

UPDATE: HI Rachel and others:
Marcus seems more friendly this morning, he told me
what to tell the credit card company when opening a dispute
and told me he will not contest it.

It still is too soon to say whether he will contest it or not,
but for now, i will give him the benefit of the doubt.

So, i will let you guys know how he handles this,
if he indeed accept the dispute or contest it.
Depending on his response you ll make up your own
mind about him. He has a choice to do good here and be a good guy,
or not.

The facts will speak for themselves and you guys
will come up with your own conclusions about him.

If he doesnt dispute, i will delete my post about him above.
If he does dispute it, i will update this thread and i will make sure others do not
have to go through this by posting my story
everywhere people ask about him.

thanks Rachel for caring and sharing your story as well.
We are keeping people in check, and thats a good thing.

davemiz · 10-01-2011, 08:50 AM

you do realize you can easily file a dispute w paypal and get the funds back...

micfo07 · 10-01-2011, 08:57 AM

Nope.
its with visa, not paypal.
but thanks for trying to help. : )

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. - I've had the same problem trying to get money back. Support just isn't there. You can't log in to support. Emails don't get answered. It was a disaster for me.

Justin Lewis · 10-14-2011, 02:47 AM

I just want to point out that this is an outrageous price for what looks like unorganized and improper training. I personally do not know much about the course, but overall, I can tell you that you DO NOT need to spend that much money in order to learn.

Just as an example, his website's permalink structure isn't even proper: /?page_id=42

To some this might not be huge, but to me that means he probably doesn't know much about what he's doing or he doesn't care much about his own business. These are just my opinions and not personal, but moreso targeted at the fact that it comes off unprofessional.

Don't waste your money on something this expensive, it's not needed.

Wild · 10-14-2011, 02:33 PM

Justin may be right about the SEO of his own sites, but I doubt he is trying to rank the one he is looking at. He definitely knows HOW to make money and is really very clever with the way he does it. He has talent in spades and 10 years of experience. I've no doubt he is doing really well for himself. However The teaching and coaching is just horrendous and it's very difficult to get your money back once you realize that your just getting recycled webinars and a hodge podge of stuff from over the years. It's by far the worse money I've ever spent and have been trying to get a refund for a while. That part is clever as well.
