Is quickmoneyapp.com a Scam? Is Andrew Deale a scammer?
Question Posted Monday July 9 2012, 10:40 pm
Hey,
This looks too good to be true but the Quick Money App was on the news and they said he proved this works live on the news!
I don't want to get scammed again, can you help me make sure I don't get taken again? Here is the link [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) would you please tell me if it seems real to you?
Any sort of website that advertises survey payouts is a scam. There is no such thing as quick money, Websites false advertise to get people to visit their web page. Also, Like DN said below me people on the news are all actors.
DangerNerd answered Tuesday July 10 2012, 2:15 am: Hi there!
This is one of the most obvious fakes to come along in recent times, and that is saying quite a lot considering how many things like this have come along lately.
The first thing I would like to point out is that the people in the "news" show are all actors. The news host reveals herself early on when the first actor walks by and says he doesn't have time, so she says something like: 'His loss.' ... when just SECONDs before she had told the guy giving the demo that she didn't quite believe his claims.
Now, why would you say someone was missing out on something you don't believe works in the first place? You wouldn't! Ta-da!
Sometimes they out themselves in other ways. For example, however you found out about this, the person who referred you probably used a link that gives them credit for sending you.
This means they get paid a commission on anything you buy... Well, you may think that isn't much of an issue, I mean what could a commission be for something like this, 10% 15% maybe, right?
Try 75%.
Oh, wait a minute. That starts to sound suspicious, doesn't it? Still, you might tell yourself: It is only $49, and 75% of that isn't going to make anyone fabulously rich or anything, right?
Well this is where the plot thickens a bit. You see, the people aren't out to sell you the $49 product, really... they are out to sell you "fabulous one time offers!" ;-)
... so all of a sudden we are talking about over $600 just to get all the "goodies" they are going to insist you need to REALLY succeed to your full potential.
You should really read their joint venture page where they recruit partners to promote their products. Did that make you say: "Products, plural? But wait, I thought this was a once in a lifetime chance to get this one secret to nearly instant wealth before this guy changes his mind!?"
Well, actually, from that same JV recruiting page:
"...We have been in this industry for very long time and promoted hundreds of products and we can tell you for a fact that there hasn’t been a launch where we generated anything near these figures per customer"
Yep, hundreds of products.
So... Yeah. They intend to sell you the next miracle product, and the one after that... then a few more.
Yes, you can request a refund of your $600+ dollars, but what about the payment company?
The industry standard is Clickbank. They say that in their own materials, and they use clickbank screenshots to show you how wealthy they are going to make you... yet, they don't use Clickbank to sell their own product? What?
You see, I had never heard of the company they are using, "clicksure" by name, before this product was launched. Sounds kinda like the other company, doesn't it? I thought so too.
So, my question to whomever out there might know: "Is clicksure a scam?" I can't rightly say, but I do find it odd that someone who makes their supposed living on CB chose someone else, don't you?
I can guess why: CB has a very serious refund policy: You ask, you get a refund. Period. If enough people claim a refund, CB notices this and has the power to kill the product.
If I was trying to market something so obviously unhelpful in the long term gain of money, I wouldn't risk trying to sell it through clickbank either!
I have an e-mail from one of the few honest marketers out there who warned people that Andrew and his friends sent out an e-mail to their JV list stating:
"So guys day one of Quick Money App launch has gone great, we are making money, you are making money...
pretty much everybody but our customers is making money... ;-)
So I say KEEP BLASTING because we finally have the video upsells live and in the last couple of hours we have
seen conversions on them more than double so we expect EPC for day two to be HUGE... "
I don't yet have permission from the marketer who exposed them to print his name here. I would really like to, so that you might have an idea who to trust in the IM world. I will update this, if he writes back and says I may publicly acknowledge him as the person who first showed these "people" for who they are.
Probably more of an answer than you needed, but I thought if I told you the whole thing, you would be better able to see the scams in the future without needing to ask anyone else. Not that I mind you asking, not at all, but it would save you some time.
If you EVER in doubt again, feel free to write and ask me to look into whatever product you aren't sure of.
There ARE some great possibilities to make income on the internet, but for every ONE that is for real, there seem to be TEN THOUSAND that are outright rip-offs like this. After a while, you walk right by the good chances, because you become so incredibly jaded by all the noise the scammers make.
Here is a clue, I picked up over the years: The flashier the sales page, the worse the product. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part, the real deal sells itself.
Satan spends a lot more time and effort selling "hell" whereas heaven kind of sells itself, if you get my meaning. Yet, which are people most attracted to? Same reason internet marketers seem to hire out of work carnival barkers to sell their garbage... they are selling the sizzle, not the steak. Often, there is no steak at all... just the promise that if you give them $600+ dollars, there MIGHT be a steak for you down the road some day. Maybe. Lest I forget: If you don't get that steak... it is your fault for not working the program hard enough. (Can you tell I was exposed to Amway as a child?)
Wow, can you tell this is close to my heart? I am going to be quiet now, and let you digest all of this. If you have further questions, please let me know. [ DangerNerd's advice column | Ask DangerNerd A Question ]

A quick guide for any honest people reading this: Anything that says "Quick Money" and it isn't prostitution - is probably some sort of scam.
Any website that wont let you leave, and keeps spamming your computer with "Click okay to remain on the page." and "Act now!!!!" messages, is probably some sort of scam.
Quick Money App is an affiliate marketing system - and although affiliate marketing is a real thing (although a pretty dishonest thing regardless) and can make people money, quickmoneyapp.com is abusing that fact by charging an initial fee for the 'program' and then a bunch more up-sells after the fact. It actually looks like it's designed to promote itself, pyramid-scheme style, not to actually engage in real affiliate marketing anyways.

And for you, dear questioner:
Don't advertise scams on this website.
This carefully worded, perfectly punctuated question, clearly crafted for easy indexing by search engines and to touch on the emotions of those who have fallen for such bullshit before - is so transparent is makes me a bit sick.
