Angel Stevens - Angela Penbrook - Scam Report!
83PLM
Review
This is a report of the the scam campaign by the processathome.com company. Both Angela Penbrook and Angel Stevens are merely pen names for the exact same company. With bad publicity and negative reviews a company typically changes the name and starts fresh with a brand new scam campaign under a new guise. If you've seen these ads in your email box or ever considered this rebate processing concept, then you should know just about how much negative feedback it has received publicly. Investigating into this company uncovers some VERY serious issues and misleading conceptions that raise questions and reserved concerns for consumers interested in it. READ this review first before you are scammed.
The actual Product itself that is being sold is reported by consumers as being contradictory to the advertisement on this website and is being hailed as "misleading". The site has the statements as follows, claiming how you can make money at home processing rebates.
These quotes taken directly from the landing page are as follows...
"Companies are starving for more people to process rebates from home"
"by having people work independently from home, companies are saving millions of dollars,"
"you can make great money because it is worth it for companies to pay you a lot to motivate you to process lots of rebates."
FACT: You will be engaging yourself in the paydotcom site which offer a product you can sell as an affiliate. Your rebate processing is NOT from a company that hires you. But rather, the work you create for yourself by offering your OWN rebate from your OWN clickbank or paydotcom affiliate commission. There is NO rebate processing work you are given by any company or list that is given to you by this company to process rebates.
This company offers a full money-back 8 week 100% guarantee.
Following up the procedures for a refund, is reported to be met with opposition. More so, some consumers have reported never receiving one at all by this company after several attempts and emails requesting one.
The negative feedback that is reserved for this company is justified by the overwhelming opinion of many consumers in this report.
Educate Yourself BEFORE You Buy Into Anything! It is possible to make money online working from home, but ANYONE that tells you it's possible in 30 minutes or a few days to make thousands from your home, it's pretty much a scam. There are very real opportunities for ANYONE to work online, but it requires time, effort, and work.

How to Get Your Refund
This article has been amended simply because of the request to supply the information that many of you asked for.
How do you go about getting your refund from this Queen of B.S.? It requires dilligence on your part and possibly some legal help. First off, copy and paste your receipt from which you should of recieved from the email confirmation from the order. Supply this information in an email with the title "REFUND." Keep and document every email you've sent with the time date and keep every reply that you recieve. Ask for your refund diligently every day in a new email and keep track of these.
By keeping those requested emails which have time stamps and dates on them, including your original purchase receipt, you now have a viable case with which to prosecute and sue this company for if they delay and refuse to give your refund. I'll give you this site which shows clearly the relation of alias names Angel Stevens and Angela Penbrook. Review this raiting they gave this company and all the customer complaints at the Better Business Bureau
Just food for thought
The Real Deal.... No B.S.
If you are actually considering working from home full time, and I mean WORK, not sit and make magical income streams because that doesn't exist. Don't be scammed any further with "Magic Formulas" and "Guru's Secrets." There are none. Only methods and strategies that someone will send you in an ebook.
Unless you already know what you're doing this information will mostly just confuse you. What you need is training. I like to call it a "Boot-Camp" for Internet Marketing. This is a REAL job and anyone can do it.

Have you seen similar websites penbrook or something like that? it looks exactly the same. Do you know if this is the same person PLM? I'd be interested in knowing if this was in fact the same angel steven person advertiseing under a new business name
Yes there is a few new ones that are exactly the same. This is just another decoy method as the Angel Stevens course rapidly gains negative publicity, the easy way to counter this is rename the business and try to seperate yourself from any of the negative that's tied with the new name.
Same bag of shit, just a different package
i did it! Gave my last $197.00. stupid me didn't research it first. Help me get my money back. I am recently widowed in debt over my head. I am so ashamed
I am almost ashamed to admit it, but I too fell for the angel steven's rebate scam. $197.00 buck's worth! I have a comment or two about that subject on my first hub. I think I made my purchase from aka. angela penbrook. Ha! Tell your readers not to give up hope on getting they're refund back. I got mine. But it took a few email's worded just right to do so. DONT GIVE UP BUSTER!
i came across some d.c. based dude proclaiming 3 home-based jobs as wonderful. now i am thinking $197 can buy me some wholesale goods i can ACTUALLY make a profit on.
thanks for the warning!
p.s. are these people breaking the law, is there a course of ation and can those bilked euthanise the thieves?
Those who have recieve a refund...as have i bought into this scam...im an idiot. If possible could someone post the e-mail address used to get this refund. they give about 3 or 4 emails on the site to respond to. THANKS
This is for shokov5; I to fell for that crap they sell. I got my refund back by taking the address of of one of the email's they send you when you join. Tell them you are gonna see to it they're business is shut down. Be persistant! It worked for me.
Good luck!
one method that someone sent me an email about which worked was wording the email about the numerous times you've asked for a refund... example as follows
"this is the 7th documented email requesting a refund which has been met with opposition and automated replies, this will be my final request for my refund as guaranteed by your website. I have contacted an attorney to file suit for this matter and have been advised to no longer contact this organization. please do not reply to this email unless it is to refund my purchase price, sincerely..."
this apparently has gotten results quickly.
PLM,
Thanks for informing the community of this scam. It is so sad that people will actually rip others off in such ways. Like you, I also teach people how to avoid scams of this nature. My first word of advise to anyone is to learn the difference between a work-at-home "job" and a home based business. In a home based business, you are investing into having your own business whereas in a home-based "job", you are an employee of a company. In this case, NEVER, EVER pay anyone to be their employee! In the case of a home based business, do research on that company before joining anything, no matter how long they have been in business. The fact is, just because they are legitimate, doesn't make it the right opportunity for you. It is vital to know what you are looking for in order to assure that the company offers what you want in your business.
I truly hope that all who have been scammed by this program are able to recover their investments. And to those who say they are idiots for joining, I disagree. You simply need help in learning what to look for and what to avoid when looking for home based opportunities. That first step is to recognize the difference in these two types of offers so that you know what you are dealing with. I have several hubs on this very topic as well.
PLM, you are doing an excellent jon in helping educate people on such things and I am honored to be behind you on this matter! Keep up the great work. By the way, I am speaking from almost 25 years experience researching home based business opportunities. Great job!

I did this and when I got the information I new immediately it was bad news. It took me 6 weeks to get a refund. I had to call numerous times but finally it did come through. I should thank my lucky stars I even got a refund. You must call and call daily. Email will not do it. Just an FYI!
THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH! I just received "The E-mail". I was contemplating doing it, but something didin't feel right about it. I yahooed the name and found you guys. Thanks for sparing me the headache!
Thanks PLM.
This shows the power that Web 2.0 sites like HubPages puts into the hands of the ordinary person who has been shafted by companies like this.
Keep writing!

Thank God this page popped up! I sure was about to do this!I haven't been interested in any home business stuff lately,but this one had a way of grabbing my attention.Like it has always been said...Anyone urging and almost rushing you that "time" is a factor,it's FAKE! DON'T TRUST IT! yes,there is money to be made,definitly...AND THEY ARE MAKIN' IT.Don't pay these suckas-pay your bills and stay debt free,then you can find room for a REAL DEAL! And it is not them.
Good point you bring up. That is something I had missed completely in my review. Whenever you see those pop ups or fake counters like "Act now you have only 57 positions left" ... "sign up before midnite tonite or this deal is closed in 11 hours 43 minutes (and you see the timer counting down)
If you have EVER seen these or you will likely come across them everywhere on websites...these are marketing tools that are placed in the website.. the dates, times counters etc are all refreshed daily with the current times dates etc. They are fake counters and the use of them is for high pressure sales tactics most used car salesmen practice. Remember, it's all bullshit and it's bad for you!
This is very true! If it is a legitimate business offer, they will be willing to give you all the time you need to do your research on them, answer all your questions and give you the option of making your own decision in your own time!

Thanks Priest, I found it! Thank you thank you thank you! You're the best!!! I'm going to check it out right now.
I've been working with paydotcom for a while. You know, tryin to sell stuff as an affiliate. I've made $ 10.00 so far, WOW. Lots of work. We also did a few of those online surveys (made about $15.00 ) the phone is ringing all day long now. Dont put your real phone #
I've been scamed by Agel Stevens (processathome.com) and have been trying to get a refund for two months, but have gotten nothing but retoric . Shame on me.
I too have gotten these emails. I think I remember seeing something like this a couple of years ago also. They carefully word their copy so they can argue that they're not being dishonest.
I've gotten "work at home" jobs simply by advertising my skills on Craigslist for free. You can also call businesses in the area you're interested in working in and simply ask if they are looking for independent contractors to work at home for them. You may hit a business at just the right time-an opening may have just occured and if you're qualified there's a good chance you'll get it.
A lot of experience down the river and same with lots of money.
I did read an email
" this is your last chance to send a dollar to Box....."
That person became rich and was stopped by your Inland Revenue.
Great hub
Crap. 'Nother scam. And that lil Angel Stevens video thingie wouldn't shut up when I visited the page. She did sound sincere, but after a few seconds, her voice got on my last good nerve. I had to turn my speakers down, because there was no way to disable the video while I read the too-long info page. I got half-way through reading when I decided to research her on the Internet. Good thing. Thanks for the heads up!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your info about Angel Stevens and her "process at home" business. I was just about to put my money in and thought I should google her name to see what else I could find out and found your info. You're right when you say she's making money--off those of us foolish and desperate enough to invest in her business! It's one of those things that sounds too good to be true and from what everyone else and you are saying, it is! There has to be a legitimate way to make extra money and I'm not giving mine to her.
PLM
Thanks, thanks. I am happy I googled Angel Stevens and found you. Thanks again man.
unitedflo@yahoo.com if there is a home business that I can get involved in that I can make money and not spend much please contact me. I am in my 50's live alone and working 80 hours a week, I'd love some freedom!! And Michelle time!! One of my jobs is at U.P.S. the heat and cold and heavy work at my age is a killer!! Sincerely thank you, Michelle : )
Wow, thanks for all the reviews. I too was close to almost believing all the bull. They do make it pretty intising for all us moms out there who would love to make some money and still be able to stay home and spend time with our children. It amazes me just how sneaky people can be. Thanks for all the info. I will not be giving them, nor anyone else any of my money.
Thanks for the heads up, after losing money on data entry scam, I was weary about this. Im glad I didnt waste my money here.
Thanks for the heads up, after losing money on data entry scam, I was weary about this. Im glad I didnt waste my money here.
I fell for this out of desperation. I am currently unemployed and came upon Angel's e-mail late one night and signed up. Then I began investigating after the fact. Of course, now I see what a scam it all is and I want my money back but am having a hard time getting a contact phone number. Nobody has replied to my many e-mails and will not likely any time soon, so I'd love a contact number if any of you have it. Love to hear if others like me were able to get their full refund back.
Yeah, thanks. Just like the others I almost did it! Then some sense came to me to research the company first. Phew!! Nobody needs to lost money, sleep or confidence in themselves by doing this scam.
I hadn't heard of this one, but I don't even open junk mail. It is good to know that someone is out there warning others of these scams.
Great Job,
Carol
We , I did fall for it , being 24 and a mother of 5 little kids , I needed extra money and it sounded good at the time . After I paid the money some guy called me and said he had to ask me about my assets before we get started to " protect " me . When he asked about my credit cards and if I had anymore besides the one I used , I figured it was a rip off . Another thing , Why
Me again , why do they refer to it as " The Buisness " ? When I stared asking the guy questions he got agressive. Who ever sees this , DON'T GUY IT !
This is known as 'phishing' and should be treated as spam. Anyone asking for personal information is a scam artist. Anyone getting hostile about questions you may have inquiring about their business should be told to grow hair and bark at the moon after you promptly hang up.
Thanks for the info PLM. You really cut through the "hype speak" in the sales letter and told us how it really is. Why can't these guys settle for selling their services to people who actually need them, instead of hyping them up and trying to make everyone want them?
I think it's greedy and these guys have lost their way somewhere.
Hey there PLM, I am looking for something I can do from my home in the evenings. I'm a single mother and noticed that you mentioned you have bought those 2 programs on your bio. I sent you an email but have not heard any response yet in reply. Could you give me your opinion of which one a single mother with little time would be able to benefit from? Money is a little tight and I can only choose one to buy right now, what would you choose?
I've been scammed before with programs like this rebate processing program and I am cautious when it comes to makeing informed decisions. I appreciate your time and than you in advance!
I sent you an email while ago. I resent it again just now, check your mail.
I too fell for the scam 3 weeks ago. I have tryed to contact them by e-mail both day and night to no avail. For those who have received their $197.00 refund, please help us sockersss, get our money back. Please give a address or telephone number to contact.
Man im so glad I looked this up thanx for the fair warning guys..... also if you do want to try or become curious to see how some of these work I would highly suggest using your credit card to buy it. Scammers rely on the access of credit cards as fast money... but these days forget how common it is to be scammed which is why credit card companies give personal security as well at least if you use your cc the company will just retract the money from that exact account and give it back to you. And one little thing they probably know this as well which caught my eye when they say "within 90 days" because after 90 days cc companies and banks arent able to get your money back after that time frame
that is the exact nature of the scam and this is just one element of the cleverly designed scam campaign. you wouldn't of bought it unless it had a guarantee like most people. so the efforts to string you along are directly related to the length of time a cc company will return your money if fraud was reported.
thanksn i am very interested in a home buss. and you just saved me a head ace thanks for the info on this scam.
I just signed up a few hours ago, then it dawned on me to google Angel Steven's name, and I found all this!! What should I do, is it too soon to ask for a refund? All I've received so far are confirmation emails. Should I request a refund now or wait until I have tried this? Please help PLM!!
Stop the madness.
Hey PLM! Thanks buddy for the research on this! You saved another dude from another scam...way-to-go-man! So how about those 2 programs you mentioned on your bio that you purchased that could be another option for making $$ at home? Are they working for you? Do anybody know of ANY reputible work at home on line jobs that pays good money?
Defenitely ask for refund immediately Regret. Sorry it took me so long to check back here. I just revised my article to help anyone else out getting refunds and some useful contact info listed at the Better Business Bureau
Bloo dingo, it's called affiliate marketing and it has potential to make anyone very wealthy if done correctly. Wealthy Affiliates is definitely working for me currently. Profit Lance is almost the same learning material and training. However WA offers a lot more in comparison. The biggest difference is the forum and myspace type area for members only. You can meet me there. Chat soon brudda.
Big Thanks, I too almost fell for the Angel Stevens SCAM. I wonder if the BBB has info on these guys ?
I put in the link for Better Business Bureau. Just take a look, it's all there
Just like everyone else, I almost fell for their B.S. However I thought to myself, since I'm sitting here at the computer why not research it before I jump on it. Thank God! I decide to do that. I do feel for everyone else that haven't got their money back. I hope you all well get your money back soon.
I just sign up for this last night. I have read over the material and it really is a scam. There is no list of companies available to help me start making money.
I just wanted to chime in and say that, alas, my mother got pulled into this scam, and we are currently trying to get our money back (opened up a CC dispute and calling them almost regularly.) I didn't think of e-mailing them as well, so I'm glad I stumbled upon this site! I just want to cuss like a fisherman at the service reps when I'm on the phone with them. >:|
Thanks PLM it worked almost immediately!
do youo know where i can return this? I've been looking for a way to send it, i tried to cancel the shipping 5 minutes after i ordered it and they refused to let me cancel the order. Can you help please!? That's money that i need to survive!
Rosa, I'd love to help you but it sounds like you're waiting for a physical product to be sent through the mail?
This is an ebook in pdf format which you should of been emailed. Follow the instructions for a refund at the end there which I added, and it may take a while, but you can get your refund back fairly quickly in comparison to the majority of others with this product.
What's sad is that so many people are too ashamed of their own stupidity to even ask for a refund.
PLM, they sent me a package not an ebook. I called right away and emailed for my refund but it told me not to call the bank which, idiotically, I didn't do. I plan to send the package back, I don't plan to open it. Where can i find the address to send it back? I plan to call my bank to see if they did charge it.

Is this different from the return address on the package? Try contacting this number to arrange for your refund and see if there is an alternate return address if this is incorect
Thanks PLM. I'll try calling the number right now.
Thanks for the information. I was considering joining the program also but definitely would have googled before making the investment.
I would not complain about 197.00, they transferred me to a company called thrive to start an internet drop shipping business and took me for 15,250.00 and now i dont know what to do.
Holy Upsell Batman!
Process at home upsold you for 15 large? What is the business name they referred you to for this drop shipping business? Easy Way Services is the DBA which was filed for the DBA under all the other names she uses as other businesses. Go back up to the article where I've edited a while back and put the Better Business Bureau's link. Any of those the one you got scammed by?
Hey dude! Thanks for the info. I joined wealthy affiliates from your advice. I don't know if you got my pm at the site there, I see you on all the time. send me a message back make sure I got your space name right. You rock brother! I'm blown away this thing so far. on a side note, I am still fighting with the email responders and it's closing in on week 4 now, still no refund. I got angel stevens rebate thing and it's a total pile of crap like you said. I want my damn money back. can you check your messages at wealthy affiliates please bro? I need your help.
Thank heavens I found your site...sounded to tempting but there was something that told me to check it out. I'm glad I did.
Another question...Free Grants...is there any free info out there? Everyone wants to sell yuo a CD for S&H only then sock you with a monthly fee. Another scam????
Pretty much. Ever seen those commercials with the dude wearing the riddler suit selling the book about governement grants and free money etc etc?
Re-hashed useless garbage and the information isn't very helpful. Lot of controversy about his book being complete trash and everythign in it beign useless.
Anything that sounds to good to be true... usually is.
I fell for it also. For those who asked for the Refund Request Info here it is:
If you still have the confirmation email from PAH go there and print receipt (should be at the bottom of the page) click there and on the next page you will see Request Refund. If not, payment was processed by:

I was about to buy this program I got in my email today. Thanks for the info! Amazing how much is out there on Angel Stevens when you do a google search!
