It's not bad enough that convicted felon Rick Rahim of businessventures.com is out scamming the world with his fraudulent satellite tv services, his fake online better bureau website , impersonating an officer of the law with his chopper painted like our local sherrifs office colors and wears a badge playing police man trying to get kids to ride his chopper when he is a convicted felon several times over ((it's not a rumor it's public record) he's been convicted of obtaining money through false pretenses he's been convicted of obtaining property through false pretenses he's been convicted of illegal gambling operations in his home, he's been convicted of possession and transporting fire arms by a convicted felon! he Has plead guilty to all of the above again public record. He has a total of 16 known judgments against him to date, and many more in the works.... the list goes on and on! And now this joker is writing a children's book!!! And selling his autograph???!!!!! Can you believe it?.... Go to his newest of hundreds of scamming websites called thinkonbooks.com and see it now "way up high is the big blue sky" but I recommend you don't give him your credit card information you will end up regretting it! who in their right mind would give a convicted felon, an illegal gambler and a fraud with six (6) known allias their credit card information and feel comfortable? Google him and you'll see! The only positive things you'll find is what he has written about himself through his company owned websites! Dig deeper and learn the truth like I did. It's all on the internet, he's fraud end and scammed myself and others on the internet hiding behind his keyboard at his desk in great falls, va bragging about how rich he is, but in fact has not satisfied his debts and outstanding judgments against him. Do the math... Run away from the shady scams of Rick Rahim Tariqe Rahim or Barry Clark Santa clause or whatever name he is using. He is a SCAM and a FRAUD

Just so everyone is aware also, Rahim is also affiliated with Project Lifesaver International. He is one of their main funders and is in some capacity responsible for aspects of their finances or in charge of managing donaitons. Ironic!

Hello, My name is Lauren and I own (((link redacted))). I have been a VMC affiliate since 2002 and I can tell you (and prove) from my experiences with VMC that it is untrue to claim that they do not pay affiliates! Not only have I gotten paid for MY sales, but also made a lot of money for affiliates under me! I do not have any experience with their search engine submission service, BUT as an experienced SEO consultant myself, it seems to me that MANY people confuse the word SUBMISSION with RANKINGS. If you paid to be submitted, you probably were. Submitting your url to search engines means nothing. If they guaranteed you top rankings and you didn't get it, that is something else entirely. Either way, good luck. CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.

I came across an add on the internet one day make 50.00 for each satellite you give away it doesn't cost anything to join. So I joined the company was VMC SATELLITE, After joining I started receiving emails from this company one was about search engine ranking pay 29.99 to have your URL sent to over 800,000 search engine's to increase your sales. Well after I fell for this scam I did a check about 3 to 4 weeks after and didn't find my url nowhere except for the ones I sent to the free sites. I contacted search engine ranking by email and they told me a bunch of lies, I findly blessed them out and told them I would sue them in small claims court to get my money back. The next day I tryed to check my VMC url account to see if I had any sales and it said my url was invalid because I violated spam policy. When I called VMC they told me Im no longer a saler for them because I threaten to sue search engine ranking. Which I did a check and also found out they are owned by the same company and that they aren't sending your url to search engines but only pocketing the money or using it for there own submissions. I suggest filing a complaint with the local attorney generals office also with the bank in which funds were transferred because this is considered bank fraud and also find an attorney to file a class action lawsuit to stop this fraud. Or file a claim in small claims court in the county in which you reside.

I've gotta tell ya, I love this place. I was reading through some email and off to the side of the screen was a small ad that read "turn $35 into $12,000 per month". I clicked on it and what do you know I could make tons of $$ referring people to the "Dish" network. Uhmmm...let's check this out, so I clicked on my old trusty "rip off report" website, typed in the name given "SUBMISSION MAGIC" nothing found....uhmmm.....lets go to their contact page and see who they really are. What do you know, they're "VMC". Ran a check on that name and guess what....not a good company. Thanks for saving me time and money. By the way, new name to watch out for "SUBMISSION MAGIC".
