Earning with IWL Home Shopping

Hi there. I'm new to the forum so hope I'm doing everything right! Has anyone used IWL Home Shopping as a way to earn money and if so, HOW does it work and more importantly DOES it work! The website gives very little information about what you need to do to earn extra cash as does the Facebook page. Thanks

    Not heard of it and not much info on Google either. So either is very new or not a trustworthy one :)

    The site is only a couple of months old.
    NO CONTACT details... required by Eu law for sites selling things etc.
    NO secure shopping cart etc.
    NO way of telling what is in stock.
    NO delivery details
    Basically no details at all.

    Personally one i would totally AVOID.
  • The first thing I found was a weebly site. From their facebook page it does go to their own domain name but it looks exactly the same so looks as though weebly is what they've used to set it up. While there's nothing wrong with weebly it's not a professional way to do a site, especially not one where you're selling items.

    Looking up the domain, it is registered to someone in the UK.

    It was registered on the 13th October 2014 and will expire on the 13th October 2016. Doesn't suggest they have great faith in it being a popular site, but ah well.

    As already said, site itself has none of the details that it should.

    The items sold aren't what I'd call bargains, I'm sure you could find most (if not all) at the same price or less from trusted companies.

    I'd say their main aim is for interest in the earn with us. Not sure how it's an online business, it sounds more like "if you spam everywhere with our product links we'll give you a few pennies for a sale."

    I agree with fragmented - avoid.

    Warning this appears to be a group of Kleeneze Distributors pretending to be something else so they could get round advertising restrictions, and quick rejection when people see Kleeneze mentioned.

    I guess the dummy Nat West Cheques are produced to avoid showing Kleeneze on the real specimen ones they usually use.

    Also note when they talk about earning between 3000 to 50000 a year.
    They breach the statutory guidelines which require them to say.

    Statutory Wealth Warning
    It is illegal for a promoter or a participant in a trading scheme to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising
    benefits from getting others to join a scheme. Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved.


    Its clearly not a site thats been approved by the company itself.

    The contact address which has recently been added is of a firm of accountants who specialise in helping Direct Selling and Network Marketing people.

    Shame whoever is behind it cant be a bit more upfront.

    One of the videos shows people holding Kleeneze cheques. Another video goes on about people getting £500 to £2k worth of orders a month... many will just see the £2K a month and think thats profit... it's NOT, it just orders, they just get paid a %

    On thier homepage, the picture of 'Yvonne' looks very much to me like the person in the same dress as in a video in the Kleeneze (MLM) site but goes by a different name there :(

    edit, just found the natwest cheques wongawonga mentioned in their post... they all look to have the same cheque number :rotfl: and i thought they should have the word 'only' after the pounds in words part ?? There is also a blank one with the same account details available on the net as a .jpg

    smoke and mirrors comes to mind.

    My best advice, if you're not sure, then don't do it. Lucky, we've got people here, who's doing us with great service by researching the company.
