TurnkeyProfit at Flippa Mark Daniels MDG SOLUTIONS TurnkeyProfit scam on Flippa.com selling websites promising $10,000/month or $100/day earnings CHICAGO Illinois
Mark Daniels, who is active on Flippa.com under the name of TurnkeyProfit (https://flippa.com/users/374575), is selling websites (https://flippa.com/buy/search?seller=374575&sort_col=timestart&sort_dir=desc&status=open,won,completed,expired), promising earnings of $10,000/month or $100/day along with money back guarantee if it doesn't work.
After the purchase he asks you to register 25-40 domains and he will then setup pre made websites on those domains. All the websites are poorly designed and come with either YouTube videos or Amazon products. He then gives you a list of affiliate programs such as Amazon and AdSense where you can sign up. He will then provide, what he calls his secret blueprint money making strategy, which will allow anyone to earn $100, $200 or even $300 per day.
His secret marketing strategy is nothing other than him telling you to create YouTube compilation videos. He tells you to go to YouTube, search for funny videos like baby, cats, fails and then you download them. re-edit them and upload them back to YouTube with links to your websites in the video description. He claims you will automatically receive 10,000 - 100,000 viewers per video per month which will turn into $100 - $300 a day.
Problem is, that doesn't work. I have uploaded over 20 compilatin videos and after 4 months, each video has only about 50-100 views and none of the websites ever received any visitors.
It's also worth mentioning, Google removed most websites from their search engine because these websites are considered spam. He sells the same 40 websites about 100 times per month. If you add that up across 1 year, there will be over 1200 duplicate websites. When asking for money back, he refuses to refund and argues that you will need to create more videos and wait longer. He makes sure to tell you to wait at least 4 months, because after that period, you can no longer open a PayPal dispute.
When you then leave a negative feedback on Flippa mentioning the websites don't work, Flippa support will remove the negative feedback within several hours. Additionally Mark Daniels threatens you with legal actions and tells you he will sue you if you make claims that his websites don't work. Looking at his profile on Flippa.com, it shows that he has 100% positive feedback. However when you keep an eye on his profile, you will see that he receives about 6 site quality feedbacks per month, 5 of which are negative and will then be removed by Flippa staff.
It is unclear why Flippa support removes those negative feedbacks. When asking Flippa support why all the negative feedback gets removed, they claim that no feedback will ever be removed without the consent of the user who left it. This is clearly a false claim, as there have been many complaints on other forums stating that their feedback was removed without their consent. I also left a negative feedback which was removed. Flippa support did not responde onto why they remove it, they simply reply saying it's an issue between the buyer and seller and it should be handled between them. After that Mark Daniels will refuse to offer any support and Flippa support says they are not responsible for this and anyone should do due diligence before they buy a website, which seems very hyprocritical considering they are the ones who always remove any negative feedback.
Other sellers on Flippa do not get their feedback removed and are told to work it out with the person who left it. Flippa also permanently bans sellers if they receive multipel negative feedback in a row.
Further, Flippa's terms & condition (https://support.flippa.com/hc/en-us/articles/203110254) prohibit any seller on Flippa to make potential earnings claims if the website is brand new and has not earned anything. Flippa's terms & conditons also prohibit any seller from making guarantees, yet the Mark Daniels offers guatantees.
Other sellers on Flippa have reported that if they mention potential earnings claims or make guarantees, they were suspended or even banned from Flippa. TurnkeyProfit however seems to get away with is. When asking Flippa support, they do not give any reason other than they are not responsible for any disputes between buyer and seller.
Because of this close affiliation between Flippa support and Mark Daniels that allows him to break the rules and gets all the negative feedback removed, it stands to reason that Mark Daniels is a close friend of one of the support staff members of Flippa.

I just recently am going thru the same thing with the same seller on flippa.com. The owner of flippa.com( josh ? and adam lee ) and Mark Daniels are in this together, you can tell from the emails between the 2. these websites are scam and are created so it looks like there for you and only partial may be, but you are providing marketing for mark daniels as his amazon api key is embedded so you can not remove it. you can not put your own api key in any of the sites, if you try it will always come back invalid.
the stores that come with some of the sites,( i wonder where the earnings are going for those stores hmmm) he refused to add them. the only way those were added was when a dispute was filed and the owner of flippa took his side immediatley not once but twice. no investigation whatsoever. will be reporting this to the australian authorities. this site needs to be shut down. they are running scams on here.
ripping people off and accusing customers of stealing there files. this is not true. all themes and plugins have some kinda support, well not one theme and not 1 plugin is available anywhere on wordpress or the internet. so no support there, his website (websiteberry.com) does not exist. i am in the process of trying to get them shut down including all the sites they are affiliated with, just checkout the site domainbigdata.com you will find millions of domains and people they are associated with all over.
another thing about these sites is you can not edit them in any kind of way. i tried to add my domain as the site title, not gonna happen. i mentioned this to mark daniels and he had no idea what i was referring to and basically says editing is changing the image to the site, thats not rue either. they sit back and prey on people with no knowledge of what is in a site and take advantage of them, earning all the income coming in from these sites. i am reporting them ( everyone he is affiliated with) to all authorities nationwide and you should do the same. so to the writer if there is a way to get in touch that would be awesome. and keep your files from the sites for evidence.
