Amazon Secrets/ Doug Westmoreland Looked up the site after hearing it on one of the Amazon Passive Income podcasts on iTunes. Sounds legit enough, right?? Went through a whole spiel and showed a presentation, everything sounds legit until he says you can only pay$3000 over the phone because the company is "old-school" and that's how everyone does it. Then the contract says $4995 after $3000 was discussed, says the rest doesn't have to be paid back till you've made your first $10k. Internet
I came across the scam site after hearing it mentioned at the end of a popular Amazon passive income podcast on iTunes. Or so I thought it was a popular and top podcasts, but I think the scammer was just imitating the actual number one podcast for selling products online. You are directed to a site where you put your information as in an email address requesting a free report, within a day or or so, someone will call you claiming to be Doug WestMoreland or someone else and will go through a 45 minute presentation where he will show you what seems to be a very successful online business and Facebook group that will help with your online business. I almost bought it and paid the sucker $3000, until I realized the email address wasn't an email address with his name as he said it was his business email. We also discussed $3000, but on the contract requested $4995. He said that $2000 was a "scholarship" and was only required to be paid back once my own business reached $10,000 in profit. Fishy. So why didn't it say any of that in the contract, right? Then, the only way to pay was through the phone. Even the most archaic of businessses have more secure and ways of payment, but he only required payment over the phone or the other shady option of a Western Union transfer. I almost fell for it because I wanted the course, which is what he was offering, To be real but doing some more research led to me ultimately accepting that this was a fraud.
