Dish Network Scam / www.dishprofits.com

[WebProMD]

While searching for job opportunities I stumbled across a company whose web layout and approach seem very much like the Easy Google Profits and Twitter Profit scams. The company claims to be an affiliate of Dish Network and also claims to be supported by the US Dept of Commerce.

The ad from career builder advertises an at home investment opportunity to advertise for Dish Network. The problem is, when I talked to executives at Dish Network they told me they have never heard of them. The website of the company is:

www.dishprofits.com/index.html

Twitter Profits (which I fell victim too and that is how I learned of this site) used the same concept. The operators of the site used a proxy server which makes it almost impossible to locate and they charged people monthly fees for things people did not even know they were going to be charged for.

If you have already given this company your credit card information or bank account information, notify your credit card company that you need a "charge back" or your bank that you need to dispute payment. I expect to see this on CNN soon.

Here is an ad which just popped up on my computer from the same people. It is the same format, the same type of page. The address is for a google at home work (similar to google profit scams).

We just added Dish Profits to our reviews archive at MoneyStance and during our search for independent reviews, we could not find one positive opinion of the program. I think that is a first for us compared to all the other money making opportunities we have been evaluating. Does anyone have anything positive to say about Dish Profits?

A poster named MGD over at DSL Reports did some impressive digging into this scam. (Link).

These bastards are worse than the Mafia.

I have a vacation home I decided to hook up to their plan.

The receiver malfunctions about every three months.

So, while you're waiting for one of their service personnel to show up, you have nothing.

And of course, when they come out to install their dish, they will drill holes in your roof.

Good luck if they didn't install it properly and those holes start to leak. Then you have a whole new set of problems on top of dealing with them in the first place.

Plus, when you have severe weather, kiss your reception goodbye.

But, to add insult to injury, they WILL screw you if you have the audacity to cancel.

Refuse submitting to their extortion scheme when you want to get rid of them and they'll hound you forever until you surrender and pay again.

But paying to get them out of your life is the only charge that's worth it.

The Mafia has more scruples.
