Whether it’s spam, popups, ads on your favorite website, flyers stuffed in your letterbox or even personal solicitation – it’s everywhere and there is a very good reason.
I’m talking about the ‘Free Cash Machine’ or ‘Daily Income Career Network’Â (aka hundreds of other names which change daily).
It’s an operation which while technically isn’t a scam, it sails as close to the ‘S’ word as possible and uses every unethical and questionably moral trick in the very same book that scammers use.
How it works
Daily Income Network Video – How it all works (according to them)
This is a very sophisticated operation that strings together every tried and trusted technique (Ponzi, MLM, Affiliate Marketing, Spam, Deceptive Advertizing) into one large funnel, with your money at one end and their bank account at the other.
Their advertising is very keen to make out that it costs you nothing (to get started). This alone helps them get past one hurdle, the on-line job websites will not accept any vacancy that carried an up-front fee. So that means that CareerBuilder, Craigslist, Your-Local-Classifieds and more will be full of the same ad in a different cloak.
Part 1 – Trainee
After looking through their training materials, it first appears that the ‘job’ is signing up for trial periods with web-based companies (such as Free Credit Reports, ID Protection, Satellite Dishes etc.). After doing this, the job is to get as many other people to do the same thing. This generates affiliate income which is where all the $20 bills start appearing. Spam more of the people you know into signing up for dodgy services and the more money you make.
Part 2 – Passed Probation
After you’ve alienated your family and all the people you’ve ever got an email address from, you’ll be hungry to find some more income opportunities. This isn’t a problem, the helpful FCM/DICN people have a website jammed full of helpful resources to help you write, distribute, market and communicate with lots of new people who probably don’t live anywhere near you. And guess what? they ALL cost something.
Any questions? Here’s all the answers
So now, you’re faced with spending money to spam people, spam craigslist, spam every forum and blog and comment form on the world wide web. They have links to automated bots, email spam lists, classified ad sales – even printers who will print $100 flyers for you to ‘drop’ at every retail business in town… and did I mention that they all cost $$$?
Part 3 – Team Leader
But the basic business premise (getting people to signup for web-based services that they’ve already got sick of seeing on the websites that they already visit) has begun to pall. Your friends now not only avoid you on sight, but have de-friended you on FaceBook and publicly disassociated themselves from you on Linked-In. But you still have friends on FCM/DICN – they have a way you can make even more money – by promoting the lame-ass ‘money-making opportunity’ that you were fooled into getting involved in. So, in true Ponzi style, you end up promoting a job that involves nothing more than promoting the job itself.
Part 4 – Retirement
… and good luck getting out. By now you’ve probably given your credit card numbers to a whole bunch of shady internet crooks, who will use them when they get a chance to defraud you further. You have no friends and your family have changed the locks.
Let this be a warning to you. Home based businesses DO exist, but the only ones you’ll see on Craigslist are the ones that take money FROM you, not the other way round.

First off, this is not mlm, its a referal program, there are no levels, you get paid once from your referal and that’s that. Next off, why are you on a forum about something you hate so much, go find a 9 to 5, it’s that simple. Not everyone pushes their programs the same. No different than some businesses are pushy, you walk in the door and somebody that works there is down your throat, it’s the same thing. Most people that whine are people with 1, closed minds, 2, not willing to put in any effort anyway. They whine at the wind, whine about the government, whine about free ice cream. It’s a mentality thing above anything.
It is real, and none of these negative lies on here changes that, but people are getting tired of liars calling everything scam because they are too ignorant to learn about things first or they join, sit on their butts, not make money, then want to call it a scam after the fact
That person doesn’t represent the company, or companies i should say, there are mutliple “freebie” site companies out there. Stop using that as your excuse to stay broke and not change your life, grow up time. That person is just an affiliate as anybody else, and if you scroll down below, you can see someone cursing saying “fuck”, yet trying to sit here and lie about a good, legit program, because they joined, were lazy and didn’t make money, now suddenly it’s a “scam”.
You’re just another online lazy bum that joined a program and thought a tooth fairy was gong to fly your money into you personally. Notice your cursing, you sound like an 11 year old, and ignorant. So right, people are supposed to listen to anything you have to say. You probably didn’t even join the program, just another broke clown with no achievments venting. If you did join the program, you sat on your butt, did nothing, now suddenly “it’s a scam”, because you didn’t make any money. Furthermore how much money did you lose? It’s a free program…. I hope people start getting smart and start sueing people that spread libel and slander to defame someones good business. People under attack online really need to start thinking about doing that, because these anonymous lying cowards with no life and broke, squacking scam at everything need to start learning a lesson.
Don’t pay it any attention, it’s guys like this that live on the internet whining about everything, if anything they are the big scammers because they are liars. This program is probably the furthest from a pyramid, ponzi or any type of scam out of every program online. I guess all of the Fortune 500 companies they represent must be scams too…..Direct TV, Creditreport.com, Disney, Netflix, Blockbuster….etc etc etc. People like this that write these blogs do it it out of 1, they are angry they don’t make money, 2, for attention. 3, they are big cry babies and blame everything else in the world for their lack of achievement, so they get online and vent, and 4, they use the “net” to be anonymous, saying things they don’t have the balls to say in life. Go around sqwacking “scam” at everything. Honestly, i think people should start taking these liars to court for libel and slander. To call a referal program that has no levels a pyramid is quite comical…..and an outright lie.
I see people without the proper information pray upon fears of others
and call anything they don’t understand a scam. The internet is loaded with ripoffs
but I can assure your readers on this blog (DIN) Daily Income Network is not one of them.
DIN It’s a marketing training system that cost $20 or you can gain free access by taking a trial offer from their affiliate partner that’s a CPA Company called Free Factor.
There are many CPA (Cost Per Action) companies on the internet
In most cases after you completed one to several trail offers from large legitimate companies
you’re eligible to received commissions from these CPA by their marketing affilte links
Many have poor marketing skills and do poorly with these work from home programs
without assistance and others fall prey to deceptive advertising thinking it’s an hourly position.
This causes discontent resulting in people calling them riff-offs or scams.

Question can I call Paypal to see if this company is a scam, if anything it would blow the weasel on them. true or not.
Question can I call Paypal to see if this company is a scam, if anything it would blow the weasel on them. true or not.
just an update, the offers did not work as the company they use directtrack.com to track the affiliate links and sales etc went down. i checked today and all offers seem to be back up. just waiting to be credited for the offers i have completed and we are on our way.
again i will keep you updated. thanks
i don’t know if anyone is reading this thread still but i just wanted to throw my experience out there with znz
same as everyone i trawled the net looking for ways to make extra cash, if i made a million then sweet but i was just happy with building an extra income to help with bigger offline projects.
i signed up with znz big cash where i was told by the guy that introduced me that i wouldnt pay a penny for the offers and on the rare occasion i did he would refund me just to show that it was legit.
i signed, up and looked at the offers, out of 26 offers 2 were free. when i clicked on these offers they were no longer available.
so i signed up to a bingo site, a reputable company that i play poker with any so i thought ok. you are supposed to get the credit up to 6 hours or at max a day later. its been 2 weeks and i have not recived anything. also i have submitted tickets to the customer service and have not received anything back.
also since then all the offers i click on do not work. again ticket submitted but nothing back.
i also for some reason can not get hold of the guy that introduced me. strange that.
but when i ran a whois, it says that the domain is with godaddy and up for renewal in may, maybe they are winding it down and couldnt give a rats ass about “keeping up appearances”
but with all programmes i use, i give it 6 months of work before i pull the plug. but this has really wound me up. i will keep at it and hopefully make some money….from what has happend so far i doubt that this will happen. i will be back to let you all know. cheers
this company is a scam they tell you it is all free and they want you to do a free trial on your credit score and the credit score company charges 29.95 for this, and they will not refund your money a. but n=din says it is all free they are a bunch of liars and back stabbers or they want you to pay 19.95 to get started but tey want you to work for them that is dumb
wow…if it is a scam, then why am I and many others getting paid? Please do your research. Have a nice day
GET A LIFE
YOU SAID A FULL MOUTH YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ITS ABOUT SOMEONE SPEAKS UP, I BEEN DOING LOTS OF TRIALS FOR FIVE YEARS ALWAYS MADE MONEY GREAT BUSINESS
Interesting that the majority of the comments here aren’t from people who feel they were scammed with their cash going right to the creators of this program. I’ve been involved in this industry for some time, and I’ve made great money with it, never felt scammed. I think sites like DICN represent a great promotional tool. This article is a heavily biased piece of work, you can tell by the title that the author wishes to find everything a scam before any real analysis.
wow Bryant west must be the CEO of this scam of a business, we not stupid Bryant.
of course ur a part of it. Anonymous012. funny
no that doesnt prove anything one thing has nothing to do with the other. if this company were real it wouldnt need anyone to back it up. you sound stupid
if it not a scam how come youtube took thier video down? guess were not a stupid as you thought. huh
why do scammers go on anti scam sights and try to dispute the scamming companys like we dont know it them whose writing. oh yeah cause were suppose to be idiots.
how much they pay you to say that.
bryant is right get a real job cause anyone who agrees with this scam is obviosly in on it we not stupid u scammers just think we are.
wow its obvious that ur in on it
Afternoon, I am listening to your webinar as I type due to your comment here. Thank you for your time, Byeee
Please you post is BS Im in znz I try the offers for free some was good like free credit report and the evoice the other ones i cancel with no problem. I make 300 to 700 each week with znz ,I dont scam people I dont say it a job I tell them the truth and many people have sign up to znz and are making good money. I have been into the online make money for a awhile. But some of the suff you say about FCM are true they should not tell people to say its a job thats why znz have kick them out of the program. ZNZ is a great program but FCM didnt promote it right. hit me up anytime for more details dsaulters at gmail dot com
Wow, this was an ultra biased blog by someone who obviously never tried or made money with the program. I’ve made more money than I ever did working and gained lots of good friends and helped out a whole lot of people who were struggling to pay their bills. DIN/ZNZ etc are simply ways to promote incentive CPA offers. Nothing less, nothing more.
Wow!!! I was a member of ZNZ, And now a member of the Daily Income Network, and have made money with both. the only money that I’ve spent is for the VIP section of the website…This is not mandatory…Your Choice!!! The cost to upgrade to VIP is a 1 time fee of $47…Really good opportunity…
NOT A SCAM! I REPEAT ITS NOT A SCAM! ITS A WONDERFUL HOME BUSINESS TECHNIQUE BACKED BY FREE TRAINING FREE MATERIALS AND TH JOY OF KNOWING THAT YOU’VE HELPED SOMEONE TRY ORRRRR BUY A PRODUCT THAT FITS THEIR NEEDS. THEY SIMPLY SIGN UP FOR THE FREE TRAILS. IF THEY DON’T LIKE THEM, CANCEL AND OR RETURN PRODUCTS. SIMPLE AS THAT! I COMPARE TO AVON OR FINGERHUT. BUMS JUST WANT KNOW WHAT THEY THINK THEY KNOW. BUSINESS AND SENSIBLE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT. GET A LIFE!
Hmm… I’d say you have very little handle on what this program is all about. I earn a very steady cashflow from ZNZ and similar programs, and consider it the single best free business opportunity I’ve seen on the web. Here’s an article I wrote about it: http://www.attractionmarketinginsider.com/znz-one-are-you-serious/
Diane, you make an interesting point that you probably didn’t even realize you touched on.
After more than 4 years ZNZ is still Paypal Approved! If that doesn’t prove the legitimacy of ZNZ, nothing does.
Yeah, a place where the real scam artists are launching “scam” sites to make a buck, and bashing legitimate companies just for the purpose of traffic and content which leads to obviously more money for them, all the while under the guise of “helping people”. So sad how far down in depths greed will take some people.
LOOK AROUND folks, see to your right? Those are Google Adsense ads, this blog’s owner gets paid every time you click one of those!! And this guy probably has some b.s. M.L.M. that he’d like to sell you into. You know what the real scam is? Theses b.s. scam websites that make money by lying to people and feeding off of negativity!
Let’s clear up some lies right now:
Quote: technically isn’t a scam
Truth: ZNZ is absolutely not a scam
Quote: After you’ve alienated your family and all the people you’ve ever got an email address from, you’ll be hungry to find some more income opportunities.
Truth: I never, and I don’t believe FCM ever tells anyone to bother friends and family or email everyone they ever had email contact with.
Quote: So now, you’re faced with spending money…
Truth: Nobody needs to spend anything.
Quote: getting people to signup for web-based services that they’ve already got sick of seeing on the websites that they already visit.
Truth: ZNZ works with Fortune 500 companies, and not all are web-based.
Quote: So, in true Ponzi style, you end up promoting a job that involves nothing more than promoting the job itself.
Truth: The “job” is more accurately described as “affiliate CPA marketing”
Quote: By now you’ve probably given your credit card numbers to a whole bunch of shady internet crooks, who will use them when they get a chance to defraud you further.
Truth: Shady crooks like Direct TV and Time, people magazine?? The companies ZNZ works with are all major Fortune 500 companies. There’s nothing shady about them at all.
Don’t feed the lies! Don’t click adsense or do anything that makes this guy money.
All these comments really make the entire model sound more complicated than it is. Its simple. The creators have built a business around an internet marketing practice called CPA (Cost Per Action). There is also CPL (Cost Per Lead) and CPM and so forth. Fortune 500 and better companies use this concept all the time. They spend a portion of their marketing budgets giving you .30 cents to $35 dollars + for sending them leads. Often times you get paid less if a lead submits their email address vs more money if they actually pull out their credit card and spend money. Google CPA companies and start looking at their “PUBLISHER” networks. You will see companies like Dish, McDonalds, Starbucks, Outback Steakhouse, Sprint, Apple and the list goes on.
Nothing new here guys and as many have said there are a million ways to promote this business for FREE. If you are looking to fast track and excel YES there are options provided to you to buy tools that will help. OR you can buy ad space, use bots, etc.
In the new Daily Income Network funnel you have a VIP option for a ONE time fee of $47 in which the referrer (me) gets again $20.
WHY NOT PAY $47 FOR A LIFETIME OF TRAINING, PERSONAL ASSISTANCE, AND A COMPLETE SYSTEM THAT CREATES 4-5 DIFFERENT INCOME STREAMS?
I say stop sucking off the TEET, and put some money into your business. If you are not willing to INVEST in yourself, go work at McDonalds and stop complaining. If you honestly think you can make 6 figures a year without INVESTING into your business you will NEVER succeed being self employed. It’s a cold hard FACT. For all those that moan and complain about giving up the $47 for the VIP access you are basically telling the creators that the time and efforts they put into this business, educational videos, training techniques, etc. are not worth anything.
Personally I would be offended. I am offended at half the comments here from the nay sayers. Im offended at the guy that created this stupid rant in the first place. I bet his links are back to the system LOL.
Anyways I run a multi million dollar real estate investment business AND I am a full time internet marketer. I have my reasons (MULTIPLE INCOME STREAMS/RESIDUAL INCOME). How hard is it to recognize that even the most savvy individuals have created that for themselves, while the rest work like corporate monkeys and complain. I saw that INFORMATION sells, and so I sell it. What’s wrong with that? NOTHING!

Wow Bryant, I am not sure whether you realiise this or not, but abusing another because you disagree with what they have said is not good business practise and very unprofessional.
Personally I know nothing about this programme, I was surfing the net and would not be interested in being involved in any programme where there Affiliate uses bad language and abuses people in such an unprofessional manner
It is hard to tell if any online “job” offer is real or not. I am definately leary of all of them because the one time I actually tried, I missed the small print which allowed the company to take additional money if I didn’t cancel within 72 hrs. Luckily I did some legal research and was able to use the information to get my money back. I may try DICN/ZNZ but instead of giving them my regular debit/credit card I have a prepaid debit card account which I keep very little money in. I tried this once with another online biz and they would not accept it. If that happens with DICN/ZNZ then I would have to agree that it may be a scam but at leadt they won’t have access to my normal bank account. This forum seems to have an equal number of people posting both for and against these guys and that is what makes it difficult to decide. If I do try it, I will definately post my experience.
I think you (mxw) are a bit confused. Free Cash Machine/ZNZ is not network marketing or MLM – much less a ponzi scheme or scam of any kind – it is a relatively unknown opportunity called Cost Per Action (CPA).
“An online business model whereby a source advertiser pays for each specified action acquired for them by sub-advertisers. The action may be a sale or even acquisition of a (potential) customer’s zip code, email, name etc.”
The reason why you think it goes under many names, is that each participant registers his/her own domain name, and then advertises with that name. The sub-advertisers involved remain Free Cash Machine and ZNZ.
Most people will never pay a thing to be involved, and the payments are sent out twice a day to those who have completed the “offer”. To be involved, you complete one offer, ONCE. If you choose a free offer (such as a credit report), then you have paid Nothing – i.e. Zip, Nada, Zilch. You never have to complete an offer again, but you are fully qualified to introduce the system to others.
Your family and friends are not going to avoid you. Why would they? For very little effort, they will have received $20. You will never receive another penny for their ongoing participation. Only they can make money from continuing activity. If you want to make more money, find new participants. Each one is worth $20 to you – once, BUT NO MORE.
People who get serious about the income can, if they wish, buy positions in the advertising co-op. That way they get a ton of leads, and then try to get them to complete an offer. (Did I mention that this is free?). About 30% will do so. The rest will run away in shock/horror, because everybody knows “that if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is”.
It works for me, and I absolutely LOVE it. You and your readers can do what you like, but I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever found.
Oh yeah – the GDI connection. Most people coming into FCM are internet newbies, so it’s convenient for them to sign on with GDI and get their own domain, already set up and hosted for them. Personally I haven’t bothered with that, nor has the guy who introduced me to the system. It’s optional! (I already have about six unused domains, so I don’t need another one). However, joinng GDI gives you an additional stream of income. But it’s not obligatory. FCM is not a feeder program for GDI – it’s an option.
While Bryant (at the bottom of this thread) may be lacking in the tact department, his points ring true…as do Graig’s and Diane’s below.
Daily Income Career Network (DICN) and ZipNadaZilch (ZNZ) may be a lot of things, but a “scam” they are not.
As a few people have pointed out…DICN/ZNZ is simply a marketing arm for many fortune 500 companies. These companies spend MILLIONS a year on marketing/advertising and ZNZ is just a [small] portion of that budget.
As Graig pointed out…this isn’t going to make you a millionaire overnight. However…it does legitimately give average, struggling people an opportunity to make some extra income working from home with no out of pocket expenses. I’ve only been involved a week and have made $200 with very little effort. Can I retire at the end of the year for ZNZ? Of course not! Can I make an extra $10,000 by the end of the year…it certainly looks that way. And, the beauty of this is…my out of pocket expenses thus far equal…ZERO! Wait, wait…I lied. I did purchase a $2.99 domain name for a year for my marketing efforts…but, that wasn’t a requirement, by any means.
I have literally spent thousands of dollars through the years chasing shiny objects, schemes, “opportunities” and yes…I have fallen victim to at least one outright “SCAM” in my youth. I’ve made a few bucks here n’ there…but, usually lost more at the end of the day than I made.
But, don’t I blame anyone for being a fool with my money? No! It just took me awhile to realize that I have to do quite a bit of research BEFORE I click that “Buy Now” button. I take full responsibility and am much wiser now. Experience is by far the best teacher.
DICN/ZNZ is the first affiliate marketing model that I have;
1.) NOT had to fork over one red cent to look “behind the curtain”, get the magic “ebook” or “secrets,” or been upsold three times after purchasing to get “extra, super-duper, massive, golden ticket, must-have” bullshit bonuses” or have a continued, ongoing monthly expense of some kind.
2.) NOT had to speak with ANY friends or family about (I do everything through email…and, every now and then someone calls me with questions).
3.) NOT had to “sell” anything. I simply refer others to FREE offers and show them how they can do the same.
4.) Actually made some extra spending money with very little time and effort. Plus…I get paid promptly DAILY.
In addition…I found out my credit score (through Experian, which ZNZ represents) for FREE! And, it was actually higher than I expected. How’s that for a “bonus?”
So…go ahead and bash a company you clearly know little about, but…I think this one’s going to backfire on you.
In your defense…there are a few “scams” out there…but, these are blatantly obvious, in my opinion. Things like the Nigerian 419 scam, phishing sites/emails, etc…come to mind. And, those that fall for these real “scams,” (by the true definition of the word), are either so blind to the facts, completely ignorant, terribly naive, or are so gullible they deserve a Darwin award.
But, what you describe, and what most “opportunities” available online are, is nothing more than slick marketing to [often lazy] people with pipe dreams that do little to no due diligence (ie. what will it cost me up front, what are the ongoing expenses, what do I have to invest to make “X” on a consistent basis…you know, business data/analysis).
At the end of the day…it’s business. And, the fact is the vast majority of people are NOT businessmen. They look at the glitz/glamour with stars in their eyes, but know very little about how that douchebag giving them empty promises got to where he did. That douchebag worked hard and spent A LOT of money. He may be preying on hopes, dreams, fears, etc…but, no more than any other “legitimate” company does. Well…maybe a bit more. But, so what…it’s still your responsibility to think critically and do your homework. As Diane pointed out…THERE IS NO MAGIC BULLET!
It’s unfortunate, for sure, that so many lose money. But, at the end of the day, these gurus use the same tactics that “Coke” uses to get you to drink brown colored sugar water. Guess that makes coke a scam too, huh? The difference? Coke has been around for over 100 years…we’re desensitized to their propaganda. I’ve had a few Bud Lights in my day…but, I’ve never had a gaggle of hot women knock down my door to raid my fridge and give me wantonness looks. “Whaaaa, whaaa…Bud Light is a scam…whaaaaa! I want my money back and my beer belly gone…Whaaaa!”
I think you should keep collecting your Adsense revenue (how’s that for hypocrisy) and rename your blog “whaaadex.com”…just my $.02
Cheers: ST
I agree with Bryant West bro, there are differences between home businesses, affiliates and scams. If people would ACTUALLY do their research first before jumping to negative conclusions then you’d know the difference. There definitely are scams out there for sure just as there ar credible companies etc though.
If you’d look into daily income career network for instance (znz one), it is an actual affiliate program, they work along side well known major fortune 500 companies,
these companies are utilizing a part of their advertising budget to pay regualr people like me and you to spread the word about their services and are willing to pay you for doing so. Pretty nice actually. I know people in this program averaging $200 -$300+ daily just as it says just by placing afew ads daily. Surely these major well known companies we all know would not affiliate themselves with something that was illegal.
And as like with any business whether a home business or local/building business, there is of course going to be some type of investment and associated costs to maintain that business, but a home based business’s cost ain’t nothing compared to a regular franchise business start up cost, you won’t have those huge overheads, rent etc to worry about, so a home based business is the way to go and is very affordable to get started. Jus got to do your RESEARCH on the company, there’s absolutely good money to be made, and the way the economy is going people are turning to home based business and affiliate marketing like crazy. Hope this helps.
I just followed the thread thrown out by Daily Income Career Network (DICN — notice the acronym?) and the old adage “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is” came to mind. It makes me sad that kids today are growing up in a world where they are forced to mistrust everything. A place where sleight of hand, even on the internet, are the norm.
Wow i dont believe this last comment…if I was Bryan West i would instead maybe demonstrat how this wasnt a scam instead of blowing up op the interent where everyone can see you looking like a nut…i honestly dont belive this is a legitimate business and as a modern person you should understand how this could look li9ke a scam and how people need to be wary of this kinda thing and show us the that we are wrong if we are…comments like the one abocve dont get anyone anywhere…and a lawsuit would only put your company ont eh spot and under public scrutiny so if your not a scam I for one would welcome the chance to have my fott inserted into my mouth but otherwise stop the bull…there will be no lawsuit.
The main thing I’m trying to figure out about daily career income network is how does it work with Global Domian international. For about two months now, they’ve been atop of the GDI leaderboard and they are killing everyone with the GDI bonus program
Thanks mxw. Nice to meet someone with a level head. As you mentioned on my blog, yes it can be tough to research these companies and put out solid information. I’m in MLM and recommend it – with proper due diligence to know what companies, what risks to be aware (just because it’s not technically a ‘scam’ doesn’t make it safe, as you say), and what marketing to avoid (including the ones that put you off the industry. Yuck!)
It’s a pity more people don’t play the ball not the man. Bryant has a few valid points disguised in amongst the ranting.
Keep up the diligent work!
I have to admit, I hate Network Marketing/MLM – whether it’s Amway, Tupperware, candles, Gold ‘n’ Silver coins (http://www.carefulcash.com/numis-network-a-careful-review/) or Pampered Chefs, the business model stinks. Money flows upwards to the kind of people who bug you on holidays to buy their timeshares, while being sold on the fantasy of making a little extra money from home.
I cringe when a neighbor ‘pops round’ with a pitch for one of those companies and I feel nauseated when I have to watch videos (for research) of yet another self-satisfied gel-haired monkey in a suit yelping about how he just got given a new 7-series BMW for his efforts.
Some are just about bearable – my mum was an Avon Lady and did a couple of Tupperware parties in the 70’s thru 90’s but the internet has made it a dirtier marketplace all together. I like to say ‘Do Your Own Research’ but the complexities of the programs today make that almost impossible for non-tech savvy people. That’s where I come in…. :’}
Bryan, I just received an e-mail from a potential prospect sharing ALL of the information she found on the internet about FCM/ZNZ…. I responded back to her thanking her from the bottom of my heart for enlightening me on this valuable info on this SCAM and that I had better do the right thing and send back all the money to paypal that was deposited into my acct. Ok, so I wont send it back 🙂 Hey, I earned it just like you did, bottom line Bryan, being in this industry for many years, I have learned that there are many, many lazy people out there that are looking for that MAGIC BULLET….and well, its not out there, you want to make money, you gotta work for it, plain and simple. There is no doubt there are scams out there, I have fallen victim to a couple myself, however, I now know what to look for when it comes down to its integrity. I have worked very hard for myself to become as successful as I have and have developed a very positive and trusting reputation on the internet which I would NEVER jeopardize that for one second by involving myself with anything that was shady…
All the best to you naysayers ~

Well said Bryant West.
Thank You.
[…] It’s an operation which while technically isn’t a scam, it sails as close to the ‘S’ word as possible and uses every unethical and questionably moral trick in the very same book that scammers use. This is a very sophisticated operation that strings together every tried and trusted technique (Ponzi, MLM, Affiliate Marketing, Spam, Deceptive Advertizing) into one large funnel, with your money at one end and their bank account at the other. Their advertising is very keen to make out that it costs you nothing (to get started). This alone helps them get past one hurdle, the on-line job websites will not accept any vacancy that carried an up-front fee. So that means that CareerBuilder, Craigslist, Your-Local-Classifieds and more will be full of the same ad in a different cloak. Read more – WORK FROM HOME!!!

Thank you for saving me time, money and aggravation. Even if your information were to be inaccurate, I wouldn’t want to be associate with a company that speaks to another person the way Mr.Bryan West spoke to you. Thank you again for your words of caution.
Thanks a lot-I was ready to bite on the free cash machine so see what trouble and waste of time and effort you saved me from . You are a earth angel. Keep up the good work!! Dee Waldrep
You’re an idiot. You’re an idiot who obviously has never heard of affiliate marketing. Have you even gotten a cable bill that had an advertisement in it offering a certain amount off of your cable bill if you refer someone? Perhaps (you seem like you live in an apartment) you’ve received something in the mail from your apartment complex offering $100 dollars of next month’s rent if you refer someone.
You big dummy, companies do this all the time! The affiliate marketing partner that DICN uses is a legitimate company who is paid massive amounts of marketing dollars from Fortune 500 companies to do just what we offer. Are you jealous that the creators of DICN have packaged this into a business?? Stop hating out of jealousy! You can go to ZipNadaZilch yourself and sign up to become a referral affiliate for free.
And you dope, there are HUNDREDS of places to advertise for free. And yes, there are places that cost if you want to step up advertising. I have changed lives by just offering this COMPLETELY FREE system to people who have lost their jobs, and just $20 one time will get them something while they find another job, or continue with this opportunity. Do I need to share those emails with you? Do you need a job? Hell, you seem like you’d be a hell of a shoe shiner! I’ll hire you.
So how is this a scam?? You wouldn’t know a scam if one crawled up your ass to look around at all the bullshit!!! Get a life, and run a real website! It’s idiots like you that put out these stupid scare tactics with your misinformed, ignorant ass. I don’t know if this comment will be moderated and go unpublished or not, that’s fine if it doesn’t. As long as you read this I’m satisfied. Learn more about opportunities before you open your mouth! One day you may just end up being faced with a defamation lawsuit. You’re the real scammer here.
