Review of 136HBB.com - Work from Home Schemes and Scams

Below is an image of the 136HBBB.com page you see after you enter your information on the 136HBB.com website, February 17, 2007. 

As you can see, as soon as you entered your information (and they require a phone number and a valid address) they immediately try to sell you a "free" training package.  Free, except you have to pay $9.95 for "shipping and handling". Of course, once they have your credit card, they have the ability to make more charges.  See the Bruce Berman review for what can happen when you give a company your credit card info.

Did you read their terms and conditions? They include:

"The 14 day free trial period will begin on the shipping date (all packages will be shipped via a Next Day* service) and will end 14 days later. If you decide to return the Home Business Training Package, it must be returned in its original condition and postmarked no later than 14 days after the original date of shipping. It is recommended that all packages are returned using UPS or Fed-Ex, so you have a tracking number to ensure the returned package has been received by the fulfillment company. The original date of shipping will be noted on your package when you receive it. Due to the cost of production of these valuable materials, if the package is not returned within these guidelines you are agreeing to being billed a one-time charge of $29.95 USD."

So the "free" package is actually only on loan for 14 days (from the time they ship it, not arrival, so subtract at least 2 days each way, and you have a maximum of 10 days!) and if you don't return in "original condition" (which, like Berman's scam, could mean "unopened") then you will be charged an additional $29.95, making a total of $39.90 for the so-called "free" program!

We haven't ordered their package, so we can't comment on the value of it.  But based on a misleading ordering process for their so-called "free trial", we recommend you avoid them!

If you have ordered the trial package or anything else from them, please click here to tell us about your experience and opinions!
