60 Minute Money - Is this a scam???

A friend of mine mentioned that he is thinking of starting his own business working from home using the '60 Minute money' guidelines. He has to pay £27.00 for the info that gives you step-bystep guide to to making money from home by selling popular products over the web and by mail etc, it does say what you sell though! Their website shows people all over the world making £1000's per month.

Has anyone had any experiences of this (good or Bad!) Is it worth a go or is it really a scam??

Thank you in advance:confused:

    This has got scam written all over it. The first, and easiest way to tell is the fact that any genuine home working business will not charge you a penny before you get the info/work. So many of the scams charge for an info CD that is basically worthless.

    Searching the net gives results that this is an MLM scheme. It seems the products involved are herbal remedies.

    Your friend will stand more chance of a profit if he takes his money into the bookies, and places a bet. Even a 100/1 longshot stands more of a chance than this scam.

    Yeah I agree with rex, it will be a scam, if these things were so legit then everyone would be doing them.

  • Unfortunately this is an MLM and an absolute rip off. We got ripped off with this some years ago, we splashed out a rather lot of money to purchase these Herbalife products form 60 Minute Money, and got no support and we were left on our own to sell products that really are quite useless. In the end we had to sell these Herbalife products back to Herbalife at a huge loss!!!
    Be warned this is a SCAM!!
    :mad:

    Just do a google search on "60 minute money" OR "Herbal Life" and you'll see all you need to know that this is NOT what it proports to be...
    Can't believe it comes up repeatedily on Fish4Jobs when I do a search for CAD Tech work???

  • As long as there are people falling for Staggeringly obvious scams, they will never die off.

    Beggars belief how people think if they pay someone a wad of cash, they will become rich beyond their wildest dreams.

    Have we bred a society of simpletons???

    It'll be pyramid selling to simply get more members. Avoid!
