Apple Patch Diet

[ginger1031]

Anyone heard of the Apple Patch Diet affiliate program? Supposedly all you have to do is website blasting once a week (about 5-10 mins) and they send you $25 per referral sale. They send you all the referrals and you don't have to talk to anyone. Of course it sounds
"too good to be true", but I can't find "the catch".

Scam gurus, please help me find the hole in the boat with this one!

They charge a 29.95 fee. Just like all the other crappy affiliate programs. You should email and ask them: why should I pay a fee? And then see if they help you out. :rolleyes:

[SantanaT]

Has anyone tried this!! If so, can I please have some feedback...Thanks for your time

sorry here is the link...If anypne has tried this...Can I pease have some feedback...Thanks a bunch

[WFHGuide]

Okay, if they are willing to put $25 in your account after you join, why don't they just cut their price down to $9.95?

Also, it says that the site is already designed, but they never mention that they will host your site. So you'll have that EXTRA expense (figure at least $8 a month).

Plus, they say that "we are going to advertise your Apple Patch Diet affiliate website for you every week by letting you use our *****ful (SEWB) Search Engine WEBSITE BLASTER advertising program."

That's not advertising. That's giving you the tools to enter the website into search engines not advertising it. You'll have to all that yourself. And it will be time consuming and expensive.

Not to mention the whole product is a scam. A patch for dieting?

The Apple Patch Diet contains Fucus Vesiculosus, Guarana, Garcinia and Menthol.

Fucus Vesiculosus is an edible seaweed that was the original source of iodine.
Guarana is a tropical berry and a source of caffeine.
Menthol is a compound extracted from peppermint oil.

Basically, the "diet" ingredient the patch has is Garcina. Garcina is a fruit that is native to India. However in clinical studies, individuals who took Garcinia cambogia while following a weight-reduction diet lost no more weight, on average, than members of a control group who followed the same diet without taking a supplement. Source

Not to mention that Garcina can be found in any herbal store for about about $0.22 a capsule.

It's a scam.

[Unlucky36]

These clowns on the internet sure come up with the weirdest scams on the net such as crApple scam die company :rolleyes:

[msqueenm]

I researched this apple patch diet b4 i purchased it, I could find nothing bad about it. I purchased it on wed. and I check it every day, I still havent seen my first sell (which was on them) :mad: They stated give them 24 hrs. I guess they need more time to think about it. Trust me If I dont see any sales in about a wk or two. I WILL get my money back. I have even thought about putting out flyers so people know about my website. BUt u stated no one wants the product :mad:. knowing is half the battle. thanks guys :D

I searched under Google's search engine for "Apple Patch Diet" and found several web sites. I clicked on one of them that was to buy the diet and it came up and every section of it worked. When you buy into their advertising, they give you a url address that has two initials and four numbers at the end. When you are searching through the search engine, look for a web address that has that, such as applepatchdiet.com/mg5120. These are the "affiliate web sites" that people have paid for.

[wendil]

i ordered this "website" about a week ago, and of course there is no website, no one will answer your emails, ect. So what do you have to do to get your money back? i see no way of getting ahold of anyone.

[wendil]

i have paid for my website, DON'T do it

Hey, I am not sure if you are talking about the business or the product, but paying for the affiliate website is not worth it. As far as the product, I tried it when I wasted my money on buying the website, and the product itself is actually great. There is a 30 day money back guarantee on it if it doesn't work for you, but it has helped me a lot. I had a baby so I needed a little extra help losing weight, and this helped me to lose and extra 15 pounds in two months with a little exercise and diet. Remember, there is nothing out there that is going to lose all the weight for you but this apple patch diet really helped me with extra ****** and decreased my appetite some. A website you can visit to get more info on it is
www.15patches.com Hope this helps!!!

[jon8105]

Hey Kat, you are not allowed to post affiliate links!!!!!!!!!!!! Read the forum rules before you post!

I think the Website sales page looks great. Their designer did a nice job.

Health products are the wave of the future too. I guess my main concern would be, is your affiliate Web site they create for you going to look the same as everyone elses? My other concern would be, they imply they're going to send you traffic to your site too. How are they going to get traffic to your site? By email spamming, or index spamming? That would be my main concern.

Other than that, I wouldn't be too concerned over losing $20 if it doesn't pan out for you. It's not as if they're asking for hundreds.

With any Website whether it's your yours or an affiliate site that was created for you, question numero uno is always how are you going to get traffic to it? And can you spend less money on advertising than you're making in sales? Will it be that profitable?

[dr poormouth]

Nice post, junior.
Never mind that the product is Grade-Z snake-oil, your sole concern is the most profitable way of marketing it.

[sickof]

I came across a site on the net Apple Patch diet and it is an internet driven direct sell product and I would like to know if anyone has heard of them or doing business with them. Thanks Jan

[benschwahn]

I will put in my two cents and say I am a member of the apple patch diet company. The idea is not a scam they give you your affiliate website so they can get thier name out there as much as possible. This is not a get rich quick or at all scam this is a deal that you need to put time and effort into. I can tell you that I don't work but that would be a lie. I work hard to advertise for this company but I also get paid good too. I work maybe two or three hours out of the day but they are hard hours. The nice thing is I don't have a boss and I don't have a schedule. I couldn't be happier with this company they charged me $29 and some change but I got $25 back and that is all that I had to pay I make my mark at $4500 a month some less some more but I have to pay taxes too. it's worth it to me but I know their is sceptics out their but you won't get anywhere without takeing some leaps even if it means you lose money. I am human I have lost a lot of money with stupid home based businesses and nothing makes you madder or makes you feel any more vulnerable then someone taking your money. well in closing this business is not a scam I have done it for some time and couldn't be happier

Love, Peace, And Chicken grease :cool:

[Scorpio693]

Ok, Ben... I just found the apple patch diet affiliate link on another website. You say you put in a few hours a week, but the website says it takes 5 minutes to post your link on the search engine website blaster, which is done each week... What else is needed? Posting cpc (Cost Per Click) ads killed me on the last affiliate thing I tried.

[benschwahn]

Your 100% right it takes about five minutes to post your website. But lets face it if that's all you do you won't make squat. Sally who is on the internet is going to find my website and joe's and your's Sally has a wide selection to buy from for only one thing she needs. I put in my time by making flyer's and and handing out business cards possibly going to the mall and leaving a few of these items their. I talk to people about it and I'm not forward about it I talk to them like I know someone who uses it or I use it my self. I couldn't tell you if this product works or not but when it comes to business and me making money This product is the best thing on the market for weight loss. Don't let them know that you are selling the product they won't believe you and they won't buy from you. All you have to do is show them where they can get the product because that's where you got it from or your sister Sally got it from. Sorry I got off of the subject all in all it takes more outside work then work on the internet. Don't let me scare you the outside work is easy and funny, sometimes sneeky too ha ha ha :cool:

If you want some more info just let me know

stay far away from the APPLE PATCH clowns

[heavensent]

You're all missing the point anyway! Even if you can make money selling some patch. Those people aren't getting taught how to eat properly. So, even if the patch does happen to work by some great miracle, they lose the weight & then what - go back to the same junk food diet they were eating (and probably continued while using the patch) and gain it all back plus 10# Creating a life-long customer of the product???

If you're not creating a happy customer, you're not creating a wealth of money either! You need to think about the results these people are getting from the product you're selling. If it does what you say it does, you're getting those people their results than it's a product worth looking into.

However, it's not a long-term consumable product if it's designed for weight loss only. Once they lose the weight (if they do) they won't need it again (until they put it back on, which is almost inevitable since they're most likely eating the same junk). and when they put back on the weight, do you truly think they're going to be so excited about your product that they'll come rushing back for more when they gained it all back???

That's not producing true results! What you should be doing is getting them results by building a life-long relationship with them. And a consumable product that they will want for long term because it's doing what it states it will and what they want, is key! Don't just sell something to make a buck or two. Sell it because you believe in it and it has worked for you and others you know. A few dollars of sale isn't worth someone's unhappiness when they don't reap the rewards of the results you promised! ! ! !

[Renegade]

Wendil - Here is their email address to get your refund: apdsupport@mysupportteam.net

You can also go to their website at www.applepatchdiet.com & click on the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the home page to email then there.

Good luck!

Does anyone have any knowledge about the Apple Patch Diet work at home opportunity? Sounds interesting, but I'm afraid it's a scam. Thanks!

It's not about a miracle pill, patch or any other sort of aparatus that some hair-brained scientist thinks up to make millions. It's about changing someone's life! Along with obesity, there comes a whole list of serious heatlh issues such as high BP, high cholesterol & trigliceride levels, heart disease, diabetes, diabetic neruopathy, vascular shutdown, acid problems; just to name a few big ones. If the overweight person doesn't change their eating habits, they won't lose weight for long, if they do at all. And they also won't lose the health problems that accompany obesity that could ultimately lead to hospitalization and ultimately death! So, no matter how many millions of dollars may be made from some magic patch, I would never sell it knowing what devistating repercussions it could have upon the desperate lives you're selling to! I teach nutrition - not diet! And certainly not miracle patches or pills! ! ! ! ! ! !

[crazedapples]

Heavensent, I am going to have to disagree with you. A friend of mine was selling the apple patch and gave me some to try. I tried it and found out that they work. I know how to eat right. I am only a little overweight (20 pounds or so) and my problem is I crave sweets and chocolate. Yes I know better, but the cravings seem to win and I cave in and eat things I shouldn't. Anyway, I'm not stupid, I do know how to eat a balanced diet, but the patch helps me to stop craving junk food. I love the patch. It helped me lose weight. So I became an affiliate myself. And yes I do make money. I feel the key is to try it yourself and then promote it locally. At $25 a sale it doesn't take that much effort to have a nice extra income. The people who give it an honest try see that it works, so yes, you get repeat customers.

I'm not saying that it absolutely does not work. What I'm saying is that if people don't learn how to eat properly - they won't keep off the weight that they lose, if they do. Your problem of cravings isn't a matter of sweets & chocolates, although that's what it seems like. Your body is craving nutrition and carbohydrates is what our body most easily absorbs and that is what we feel the craving for. If you were giving your body what it needed, you wouldn't have those intense cravings. I'm only saying this because this is what I do for a living. I work with people who deal with health and weight issues.

Also, what is a "balanced diet". You'd crack up at some of the crazy responses from clients I get on that question. Even those who feel they're eating properly and are earnestly trying still aren't getting what their body needs. Just curious what your dietary regimen consists of.

Best wishes with your endeavors! Just stick to it, get your body's needs met and exercise!

[JenJen7]

I saw this stuff here when I was looking to see if they are real and really on search engines. So I contacted them on one of those forms on their site and asked a few questions and they told me I could look them up with that Better Business Bureau site. I did and they are on it and so are the phone numbers I see here. If they were a real scam wouldn't they have a whole bunch of disputes? I think I only saw 3 and it said they were disolved. They also told me I could have my money back if it doesn't work out for me. I think I'm going to give it a try. I'll let you all know how it goes.

[crazedapples]

You shouldn't be allowed to say you are saving people from getting swindled by posting your information on diet and nutrition. You have never even tried this product have you?

The diet patch works and it does what it says it will do. I use it myself and it works for me and many other people I know. I have also been very successful with selling it on my own affiliate web site.

I don't want or need another lecture from you about proper dieting and nutrition. So please don't give me one. It is nice of you to share that information with other people to be helpful but you should not bash a product that works when you haven't even tried it yourself.

Some people prefer diet products over dieting and learning "proper nutrition" whether it is good for them or not. The will just go buy something else. It might be a product that doesn't work at all and you haven't saved anyone by bashing this product.

[msqueenm]

I have been an affiliate of the apple patch diet for months now and I have NOT made one sale yet. If your having luck with it great.. please tell me, I have an website as well , tell me what i'm doing wrong.

I don't believe a word of what you said. I sold over 300 orders and I got confirmation form those who purchased the patches that they have bought it. I still have $25 posted on my commision.

Yes it is a scam. You sell on their website. Your account is displayed on their PayPal page but since you do not have the option to tell when and who's placed the order, they keep the money and they keep you advertising for them. Benjamin, your writing style is similar to the writings of Apple Patch Diet Company website. Is it not true that you are a part of the scam company?

Tell me something. If the company is not a scam, why is it that it has no record of registration with the WV Department of State? They don't have record in the WV Taxation Department either. They don't have a street address, and they don't have a telephone number you could use. Is this a legit company? Who nurtered you that? A liquidator in PA? There is one who is going after you.

[andykelly5]

Hi, I see that the apple patch diet program is working for you, I would like to ask you how well it is doing and are you advertising this on your own at all? Thanks!

[apple_diet_patch_works]

I just started with the apple diet site and have been advertising like crazy, so I'll keep ya'll updated if I make any money.

[heavensent]

Diet patch, diet pill, high-profile fad diets, diet surgery. . . . . . . click your heels together 3 times, spin around and say "there's nothing like being thin" - and you will lose all the weight you want.

It's all crap! The patch, the pills, the fads and surgery may take off the pounds, there's no doubt that they can help. But the bottom line people is you didn't get fat because your body was low on some pill or on some chemical the patch is releasing or because you needed surgery!!!!!!!!!!!! You got fat because you don't know how to eat properly for your body. Overweight people are typically not disciplined eaters. So for those of you who are praising this miracle patch or those pills, etc. do you have any clue AT ALL of the proper way to lose weight? Do you want to look like a sharpei? Do you want your customers to look 15 years older than they are because they have all that hangy down skin after the weight is lost? And how do you propose that they will keep off this lost weight if they still don't know how to eat properly. Ok, they've hit their goal and lost 50#. So, now what? when they come to you and ask how they keep it off - what now? What will you tell them? "I DUNNO. Sorry that's not in my job description."

People need to learn to eat properly. If you don't attack weight at the cellular level you will never lose the right kind of weight and you will always have that left-over skin! NO ONE wants that! Do you even know how to teach someone to lose weight - at the cellular level??? If not, don't let someone use a stupid patch, pill or surgery that isn't doing them any justice just to make a few dollars to put into your pocket. If you're truly interested in helping people lose weight, learn how the right way.

We arn't here talking about if the patch works we are asking if SELLING IT WORKS, sorry lady your getting too into this its a simple question not a book about health

If you would sell this crap to someone without THEIR BEST INTEREST at heart just to make a few dollars - YOU'RE the scam not the company! ! ! ! I'd much prefer to help someone learn how to increase/maintain health and lose weight properly and make money as opposed to putting empty dollars in my pocket while those people still struggle with weight & health issues you ignoramous!

[apple_diet_patch_works]

yeah but this is a forum for scams not for diet tips or help.

[heavensent]

Well then - I've just exposed you, eh ! ! ! !

[Navy72]

ANYONE REALLY, Making money from this, i would love to know. I have joined this about 2 weeks now, even bought extra engines, but nothing yet. Whos that guy that said he is making $ 4000 a month. Would love to talk to him. :confused:

[Real Wealth]

This thing has scam written all over it.

I use these rules when dealing with the internet...

If it looks too good to be true, it is!

Trust no one...until you have built a relationship with them.

I know people want to get rich with little or no effort. But quite frankly, that just does not happen. (Not unless you are born into it)

You can get rich if you invest time, effort, and money into a system with real products, real support, and a good mentor.

Guarana is a tropical berry and a source of caffeine.
Menthol is a compound extracted from peppermint oil.

Basically, the "diet" ingredient the patch has is Garcina. Garcina is a fruit that is native to India. However in clinical studies, individuals who took Garcinia cambogia while following a weight-reduction diet lost no more weight, on average, than members of a control group who followed the same diet without taking a supplement.

Not to mention that Garcina can be found in any herbal store for about about $0.22 a capsule.

It's a scam.

I put in my time by making flyer's and and handing out business cards possibly going to the mall and leaving a few of these items their. I talk to people about it and I'm not forward about it I talk to them like I know someone who uses it or I use it my self. I couldn't tell you if this product works or not but when it comes to business and me making money This product is the best thing on the market for weight loss. Don't let them know that you are selling the product they won't believe you and they won't buy from you. All you have to do is show them where they can get the product because that's where you got it from or your sister Sally got it from. Sorry I got off of the subject all in all it takes more outside work then work on the internet. Don't let me scare you the outside work is easy and funny, sometimes sneeky too ha ha ha :cool:

If you want some more info just let me know

I am glad this product works for you, but do you know if the product actually works? Have you tried the product or encouraged anyone you actually know to use it so that you know whether you are selling a working product?

Thanks for sharing your info.

Yes it is a scam. You sell on their website. Your account is displayed on their PayPal page but since you do not have the option to tell when and who's placed the order, they keep the money and they keep you advertising for them. Benjamin, your writing style is similar to the writings of Apple Patch Diet Company website. Is it not true that you are a part of the scam company?

Since you have valid proof of sales have you complained to try and get your money? Did you let the Better Business Bureau know that the company has not paid you $7500?

They don't have a street address, and they don't have a telephone number you could use. Is this a legit company? Who nurtered you that? A liquidator in PA? There is one who is going after you.

Let me say I am not an advocate of this company, I am just someone trying to find out more info on who these people are before I think about investing in their company or product.

I am not trying to provoke you in anyway, because I do think this is a serious issue. If you are due $7500 then I am seriously sorry for your loss. My question to you is if they were not registered with these departments nor do they have an address- to your knowledge, why did you give them your money?

I found this at the Better Business Bureau: http://search.canton.bbb.org/nis2/ne...82000026001854

It's all crap! The patch, the pills, the fads and surgery may take off the pounds, there's no doubt that they can help. But the bottom line people is you didn't get fat because your body was low on some pill or on some chemical the patch is releasing or because you needed surgery!!!!!!!!!!!! You got fat because you don't know how to eat properly for your body. Overweight people are typically not disciplined eaters. So for those of you who are praising this miracle patch or those pills, etc. do you have any clue AT ALL of the proper way to lose weight? Do you want to look like a sharpei? Do you want your customers to look 15 years older than they are because they have all that hangy down skin after the weight is lost? And how do you propose that they will keep off this lost weight if they still don't know how to eat properly. Ok, they've hit their goal and lost 50#. So, now what? when they come to you and ask how they keep it off - what now? What will you tell them? "I DUNNO. Sorry that's not in my job description."

People need to learn to eat properly. If you don't attack weight at the cellular level you will never lose the right kind of weight and you will always have that left-over skin! NO ONE wants that! Do you even know how to teach someone to lose weight - at the cellular level??? If not, don't let someone use a stupid patch, pill or surgery that isn't doing them any justice just to make a few dollars to put into your pocket. If you're truly interested in helping people lose weight, learn how the right way.

I agree 100%. People who endorse a product should be concerned about how that product affects other people. It is important for long term health that people understand how to properly eat and take care of their bodies, a diet patch is not going to do that for you.

However that work is two fold, the consumer must be willing to educate themselves on what they need to do to ensure long term health, also the seller should (but most often doesn't) encourage their customer to seek methods for improved overall health.

Perhaps the product can assist in weight loss, but if the buyer doesn't take their personal health into their own hands then this product will only serve as crutch rather than a tool towards improved health.

While I am only here researching this company to decide whether I want to invest in it or not, one of my main concerns is whether this product actually works or if people have had negative side affects as a result. I am doing research to find out. If this product doesn't work or has serious side affects, I could not allow my name or face be affiliated with the product. I would never put out flyers etc. for this product. Additionally I would not encourage anyone to use any product as a crutch to weight loss and overall long term health.

Much appreciation for raising a critical issue on this topic.
