Here is my honest opinion about Cash Making Power Sites - I like it and I dislike it a lot.

Here’s why.

First of all, when I first read their website at Cash Making Power Sites I was pretty excited. What they were offering sounded really good.

They are offering 5 separate websites in 5 profitable niches that would definitely guarantee some steady income. The sites are done very professional with video lead capture pages that are relatively irresistible. They are designed to make you want to sign up to get more information. This is good.

Each site covers these 5 niches:

1) Real Estate
2) Advertising
3) Diabetes
4) Cancer
5) Heart Problems

Cash Making Power Sites

In terms of profitable niches, these are 5 good ones. People are seeking (and paying) for this kind of information. So, needless to say, I was very excited about having 5 professionally-done websites with video lead capture pages up and running in a matter of a few minutes.

And here’s one of the features (among many) that made me want to whip out my credit card and get started right away. The website salespage says:

“…your new website actually schedules to your leads another 250 offers over the next 2 years (*so traffic you get on any given day results in sales even up to 2 years from now! - Imagine the residuals alone, not to mention the compounding effect!)”

To me that is amazing because as an experienced marketer, I know that followup is the key to making sales. Imagine 250 offers going out to each and every prospect that signs up to your site. And this is for all 5 sites.

________________________________________________________________

But here is where the problems begin…

I had a couple of questions and I also wanted to see the emails that each of my prospects would see, so I placed my email address in each of the 5 sites’ lead capture pages.

It’s been almost two weeks and I haven’t seen one email. I didn’t even get a confirmation email or a “Welcome” email from either of the 5 sites. I’m thinking, “That’s not good.”

So I sent a request to their support asking about that. Waited a couple of days. No reply.

I sent another request asking about the leads going into each autoresponder. I wanted to know whether I (as a website owner) would know how many leads have gone into each capture page. This would tell me if my advertising is doing well.

I received a reply from some guy named Jeff who only told me they use Aweber for their autoresponder. That’s all he said.

I’m thinking, “Huh? That’s not what I asked.”

_________________________________________________________________

So I sent another support request and told him he didn’t answer my question completely. I asked the same question again. Haven’t heard back.

Meanwhile, I still haven’t received any emails from either of the 5 websites, so I’m wondering, “Is this a scam?”

So I start doing a little research on the Internet and I Google “Cash Making Power Sites” and all I see are glowing “reviews.” (They’re not reviews by the way, but affiliates trying to sell the program. Every review is almost cookie-cutter.)

So, I’m thinking, “No bad comments or “reviews.” Maybe they’re just having technical problems. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.”

Since I was unsuccessful in getting any help from their support, I tried to find a phone number for Melford and Concetta Bibens, the owners. I manage to discover a phone # and it ends up being a phone # to a health club or gym they own. I speak to the rep there and she tells me the Bibens live in another state (I knew that) and she would call Concetta and have her call me.

I even told the rep “I have my credit card in hand but I have some questions first before I buy.” The rep assured me she would have Concetta call.

It’s been three days. No call or email.

So I call again today before I write this review (heck, I want to be fair) and I believe I reached the same rep. She told me she would have Concetta call me or email me. I told the rep, “I have been emailing them for the past two weeks with no response.”

I left my phone number again, so we’ll see if they call back.

_________________________________________________________________

In the mean time, unless you are interested in throwing away some money, I would recommend you NOT buy this system, even though it looks real good. To be honest, I WANT this to work. This is a good system if they live up to their promises!

From a business point of view, I don’t understand why they went through all the trouble to create an excellent and professional-looking system and not have the backoffice infrastructure in place to make it fully work. What a waste.

If you want to see the site, here’s the link:

Cash Making Power Sites
If you have bought this system and its working for you, let me know and tell me I’m all wrong. I would love to be wrong because I think this would be a very good business to have.

If the Bibens happen to see this post and resolves my issues, I will gladly remove this post from the blog.

Leave a comment “for” or “against.” Tell me what you think!

  1. Hey Bryan,

    I haven’t seen the site, but I
    agree with you…

    If you can’t get a response from
    support (or) the owners, I wouldn’t
    Have anything to do with them…
    No matter how great everything looks…

  2. Very informative. Especially when every cent counts for most people.

    I have been ripped off by a site that guarantees a Full Refund if one is not happy.

    Thanks Bryan for your investigative work.

    laura

  3. Thanks, this one almost had its bite in me too dude, I’m still trying to get an answer myself. If I do you will be the third to know.

  4. I tried another way to go about things, I contacted clikbank. Lets see what they say….

  5. Thanks for the comments.

    Smilin’ Ray, I hope you get an answer. Like I said earlier, this would be a good business for newbies (as well as the more experienced) because it almost be autopilot income.

    If only people would tell the truth! They put a lot of work and/or money into their sites. Why mess it up?

    Jimmy, I agree with your statements. It’s just stupid they won’t respond.

    Laura, there are some good people out there and they honor their refund policy.

    Not to “toot my own horn”, but I was an affiliate for an advertising product and the customer didn’t like the service. I ended up giving back my affiliate commissions but I don’t know if the owners of the service EVER gave back their portion.

    It happens!

    Anyone else care to comment. I want to hear from you!

  6. Did you ever hear back from them? I also want to invest in this because it seems like it can be great but I can’t find any negative feedback. Only those “reveiews” and a news article about a shooting between the husband and a “business associate”. The husband supposedly killed him in self defense. Other than that I can’t find anything saying it’s a scam. Only those pre written reviews everywhere.

  7. Don’t forget to check out my update on Cash Making Power Sites. Here’s the link:

  8. I am new to the internet business and was hoping to make money with them but I hate to say this but I was a member of Cash Making Power Sites for seven months and I did not make one dollar with them. Not only that but I tried to get a hold of the site owners but no luck, So I went to click bank and canceled my subscription with them but unfortunately I will only be getting back the money I spent when I signed up with them and not the recurring amount of money I spent monthly, But I guess live and let learn, in any case if any body is interested in trying a business that you truly can make money with just check out my website their is a Free Video you can watch on the site.I hope this will help other people out, thanks for reading my post.

  9. Hey All,

    I bit the bullet on this one 3 months ago and like the recent post have not seen a penny of this from any of the 5 sites. I think THEY are making all the money from our promoting the system.

    I have reported them to my state attorney general and BBB.

    I’ll keep you posted on the outcome. Honestly I have no idea how people can sleep at night knowing they are stealing money from people!

    Beth

  10. I bought into this several months ago im like the rest have not seen a penny off this, i did a big campaign on adwords, spent alot of money… and of course emailed our friend Jeff numerous times regarding how many have opted in to my efforts and he quickly asked me if i have tried other means to promote. if i cannot control my OWN list there is NO point in pushing them traffic at MY expense and hope that i convert a sale. I have found other GOOD ways to control your own destiny and even ways to clone good converting sites with your OWN optin list, contact me for details. barry10282@bellsouth.net

  11. I reviewed the sales copy, today, for the first time. Since I bought into 2 or 3 other “too good to be true” scams, I am far more cautious these days, to go looking for reviews like yours, Bryan. Thanks for taking the time to find out that the owner(s) are really after your $47.00, without backend support, or even a completely connected virtual marketing system. The Bivens won’t be getting my $47.00, today, or any other day. They should be ashamed of themselves! Just one more great concept, reduced to a scam!

  12. Thanks for the information you placed here, I was about to make the payment for this business program. I have tried programs like Push Button Xtreme, where they ripped me off my money and never cycled not even once for what they promise. I am sorry about so many “businesses” on the Internet that turn out to be scams. It would be fine if people who have bought these kind of systems that fail tell others about their bad experience so that these so called “gurus” dissappear once and for all with their “courses” and “businesses” from the Internet.

  13. I have come with the answer to all these rip off sites… Its called the B.S. button because remember if it smells like s**t it probably is.

  14. Thanks for sniffing this out for me. It looked to good to be true, and it certainly seems like it is. Another scammer goes down.

  15. Thank God, I read all your negative opinion about this site. I was ready to buy it when suddenly I remember a guru told me: “when it’s too good to be true, it might not be”. I will surely consult The Honest Business Report everytime a “too good” offer comes to me. Again, thanks.

  16. They are even WORSE than what has been reported here so far:

    http://www.ripoffreport.com/re.....437214.htm

    Furthermore, Heri Rosyadi & Peter Yoon are two Internet Marketers who are sending out massive amounts of email promoting this scam because of the affiliate commissions they make on this supposed product!

    I wrote to them and gave them links to various sites that discuss this scam, and stated that they need to APOLOGIZE to the their email list and STOP PROMOTING THIS RIPOFF.

    Everyone should make note of Internet Marketing Promoters who are not legitimate, or are promoting scam offers of others.

  17. I also thought great 5 websites for a bagain price and after 2 weeks got nowhere setting it up however after reading your review that makes me agree with you, I will avoid any further contact with cashmakingsites.com

  18. Well, I was gonna get in on Melford and Concetta’s Cash Making Power Sites, but after reading the letters above . . . fuggedaboutit!

    Some of you who got scammed, and can’t connect with the Bibenses to complain, might try to contact them directly. According to 411locate com, Melford and Concetta live at 944 Bridge Mill Ave., Canton, GA
    30144-6664, and their phone is (678) 493-6789. Maybe a flood of phone calls might teach them the error of their ways. You’re welcome.

  19. Thanks for the super honest review.Im totally a new beginner in Internet Marketing.I was about to fork out my $47.00.Until I decided to email the owners of the website.My questions to them are:
    - Do I need webhosting or domain name?
    - If there are people who sign up for any of the 5 website,how can I track them.I mean how would I know if my advertising campaign is working or not.

    Here’s the reply:
    (Copy n paste from my email)

    Yes we are indeed true! ;-)

    You’ll need neither hosting nor a domain, we provide both of those for you.

    You get paid a 75% commossion on all of your sales from your five websites.

    Jeff-support

    So there you go guys.

  20. Thanks Bryan. I have been checking out this program as well, and very happy I stumbled on to your review. Great feedback.. no telling how much you have saved all of us added together.

    Keep up the great work!

  21. Great information. I entered the affiliate marketing just few months ago and have lost more than 2000$ in the first two months. Now, I don’t fall prey to all these make a fast buck gimmicks thanks to people like you!

    I was about to signup with this and thanks to you my 47$ and may be more is safe in my bank!

    You are doing a great service!

    Keep it up!

    Warm Regards

    Srinath

  22. Thanks for the Info. I have been looking into other sites I can host that might bring in additional income. Every opportunity I have see in the last two weeks have been scams. You have to spend weeks if not months to find any real opportunities on the web.

    Regards,

    Mike

  23. Hi Brian
    Thank you very much for the infos. You just made me saved some money. I was excited to give those suckers my money. The business looked very promising, and was too good to be true. So always buyer beware.

    Best Regards
    Sam

  24. Thanks man i appreciate the info here. There is so much b.s out there i honestly feel sick that these scammers actually earn from it and the good guys and gals are left feeling deflated!

    Simply not good enough!

    Thanks again!

    Greg

  25. Thanks for saving my money. I am every guru’s dream cause I fall for this stuff so easy. The only reason I didn’t sign up right away is because I wondered how anybody can make money when everybody has the exact same websites, and the exact same sources of advertising that they supposedly provide. That’s when I googled reviews on it.

  26. Thanks for the good word they had me allmost suckered in. I was so close that I just searched for their site and found your site and started reading. I am now going to the top of your page and are going to look at YOUR recomendations.
    Thank you again for saving me from another failure.

  27. hi Brian,
    i had the same identical problems you experienced with regards to Cash Making Power Sites. The effort that goes into these scams(it got to be because of the lack of communication,support, etc)is just simply unbelieveable. Your review is…..PRICELESS
    THANKS A MILLION!!

  28. OK I am glad to come across this Blog Bryan .

    As a Newbie I have not purchased all the offers rammed down my inbox that would leave most people destitute. (If they purchased the garbage)

    I hold back and do a background check on the Gurus name and product on different search engines and find that I have to click back 2 or 3 pages to get away from the fake reveiws from the articles written from the affiliates promoting the product to collect their commisions.

  29. Thanks to all looks like you saved me 50 bucks
    thanks

  30. Bryan,

    Thanks for your blog you saves me time and money I don’t know how the hell this scammer got my email address. I received this email scam was sent from “eBay Drop Ship List”. I am just wondering whether you are an ebay member.

  31. Thanks for the info. I’m looking at branching out and selling some products from Clickbank. I like to check on what I sell and make sure the product is a good one. Needless to say this is NOT one I will be promoting!

  32. Hi Bryon,

    I have had a very similar result from the home website center

    Conned me $150 and haven’t had a single sale in 2 weeks from 8 websites

    I emailed them but no reply as usual

    Thanks

    Michael

    Australia

  33. Thank you!

    Sad to learn some of the known names in Affiliate marketing are promoting this product, by choice for profit? or by mistake?

    Folks, always check as many unbiased reports as you can find, if you see something that is too good to be true- before you part with your hard-earned cash!!!

  34. Hey Bryan,

    Much thanks!

    The info is very instructive, useful and helpful.

    Good luck!

  35. Very insightful! The sales pitch is truley amazing. It is really hard to decipher through all of the garbage out there. I think the idea is good but if the customer support is nonresponsive… that kills the deal for me. I am always looking for new good programs to promote. If there are any good prospects fill free to let me know!

    You can also go to one of my blogs to a company that I have found has great customer support and emails me promptly with any problems are questions I am having. Good stuff! The website is (trafficbuilding.2fortune.com

  36. Well, there’s something that I really don’t understand.
    It is the Admin’s statement, above:

    Don’t forget to check out my update on Cash Making Power Sites.

    I did the check, indeed, and found that everything was fine… without further comments about any success…

    What shall we think about that??

  37. Thaks for the info. I was ready to purchase the 5 website,
    when I start a little diging, and thank God I stumbled upon
    your page.
    The funniest thing I was about to pay $67 for it.rather than
    the $47 you guys would pay. What a shame!
    Its almost impossible to find a honest person these days.

    I would like you to get back with me at my email adress
    for a review of a site I came across.
    I don’t want to pitch on your blog I am just happy to meet
    an honest person who just save me $67 bucks and al the rest
    of other people.
    I don’t want to promote any trash.
    Thats why I need your opinion.
    If I am breaking the rules plese delete the part that does.

  38. Hi, I´m from Mexico and I can´t believe these guys! I was olso going to buy they product it sounded really good, but too good to be true, Eventhough I have a lot of faith in finding good deals and read a lot about the power of attracting good thing in life, it was my duty to find out about the honesty of these people. I really thank you for this review, I have moreless thesame questions but you figured that out allready. I can´t open your web page http://www.thehonestbusinessma.....w-updated/

    please send it to me, I would love to read this review, and find more about deshonest deals.

    Thanks a lot….hope you find a good deal and let us know.

  39. I check every program I think is the right one. So far they all are ether outright scams or totally misleading. THANKS FOR HEADS UP.

  40. Thank you for this opportunity to share experiences about Cash Making Power Sites. Unfortunately, I purchased it already just last week, March 2. Like you, and undoubtedly many others, I read their sales pitch page. As I am a ‘newbie’ to internet marketing, it sounded like something I needed, not having any websites of my own, either purchased or made.

    When I looked at the sites after purchasing, I was still enthused that it was very legit indeed. Like you, I simply could not believe that there would be any problem whatsoever, as they seemed to have thought of everything, i.e. great websites, emails for marketing, respectable products, and so on. The whole bit!!

    My first problem came when I tried to send a support ticket. As I said, as a newbie, I had many more questions than most. Since March 4, I have submitted 5 support tickets. NO REPLIES AT ALL!!!!!!!!! Still not, as of 5:20 AST today, March 11, 2010, here in Prince Edward Island. One of my first support tickets involved how do the basic ‘Click to copy code’. Now, mind you being a first-timer, I had never done it before. And it didn’t do what it said it would.

    Enough rambling/venting for the moment. Also like you, I couldn’t believe and still cannot, that a concept with so much work on the part of the Bibens’, would not proceed with legitimate support. None! SUCH AN INCREDIBLE WASTE OF CONCEPT AND WORK!!!!!!!!

    Please, do not buy!!!!!!!!!!!

    Regards,
    Doug

  41. Cash making power sites is one of the programs that I offer on one of my web sites. Like everybody else, I had questions and Jeff was the guy who finally replied. Evidently he does support for Bibens and my impression was that he really doesn’t know what he is doing or he just skims the emails requests and doesn’t get the sense of what you are asking. Also he doesn’t check every day apparently because he was always slow in responding.

    I have been disappointed in responses to the offer. Reviews are not good and that is probably why. So I am dropping them from my web site. I don’t recommend that anyone purchase this package. Yes, it sounds great and that is as far as it goes.

    Being a newbie the past few months, I’ve made some mistakes and I would caution all newbies “check everything first before you buy and be careful even then.” You will get deluged with offers and programs they tell you you have to have to succeed. Garbage! You will spend a ton of money and get burned on about half or more of what you purchase unless you do your due diligence. Learn to wait and be sure before you purchase. Even then, check again. You will probably find that 90% of what you purchase, you never use. Don’t learn the hard way like I did.

    One free email program is Eric’s Tips. He gives you a ton of information for newbies and even cautions about overbuying, even from him. His site is http://ericstips.com.

    Buyer beware!

  42. I bought these sites on January the 15th i tried them for about a month,i had a lot of trouble setting them up so i asked for a refund under the guarantee.when i contaced them i was advised to get a refund from clickbank,i haven’t received my money,i have also sent a email
    to the bibbens at their support desk but haven’t as yet i haven’t
    heard from them it seems that i am being ignored till my 60 days expires,is there anymore i can do? as a newbie i think this could put me off internet marketing.
    regards Gerrard

  43. Gerrard,

    As I stated in my email to you, Clickbank will give you your money back quickly. Just tell them you have had problems with the sites and you want your money back. They may need your receipt # or something to show you purchased. You should have received an email receipt.

    Clickbank is very good about these kind of problems. WHENEVER I have a problem I usually get my money within a few days, even if the vendor (like the Bibens) never reply.

    Don’t give up on Internet marketing. There’s bunches of money to be made. You just have to have the right people “showing you the ropes.”

  44. Yes I also wanted to purchase the Cash Making Power Sites. After getting a lot of good reviews about the Bibens program which it turns out were just sale pages for this product, I found out from other reviews that the product had positive attributes but you still had to on your own promote the five websites so that targeted traffic will come to the sites and hopefully sales will result. The reviewers said that you can get the training from the Bibens program market Place section. So I emailed the Bibens detailed question about the training they could provide me in help with free methods to drive traffic to my site. I sent out emails to them over and over but I would always get reply emails just telling be quick and purchase the five websites instead of answering my questions. That was a red flag right there. Some advice. Always when you want to purchase something on the internet look for the terms of use section. It usually in small letters at the bottom of the webpage. Scroll through it and look for financial information which will indicate if there are any additional charges like a recurring monthly fee that was not mentioned on the front webpage. Sometimes you have to look at the terms of use on the page where you put in credit card information. Before you purchase make sure you look at the terms of use and scroll through that mass of information until you find the payment information section.

  45. Finally somebody who is with me, thinking that the 5 Cash Making Sites are a scam or at least fill the money of the owners (Melford & Concetta)and not the affiliates.
    I did exactly the same like you Bryan, signing up to my own affiliate sites to see if the follow up would be on my name or somebody else’s.
    I came to your site right now because I just received an email where Bonnie & Clyde (sorry I meant Melford & Concetta)are starting again.

    Frank Voce

  46. I landed on this page because I was researching “Cash Power Course.” I don’t know about the program you are talking about but I do appreciate the honesty of your post. The “Reviews” didn’t take me long to figure out they were just “Affiliates.”
    I am still trying to find “HONEST” feedback on Cash Power Course” if you or anyone has any insite I would really appreciate it!!
    I DO NOT like programs that don’t tell you what it IS. They tell you what it is NOT. When I buy something, cloths, car, food, etc. I know what I’m buying before the money leaves my hand.
    So any help here please!?!

  47. Thnx for the review, I’m an affiliate marketer myself and currently have the cash making sites in my product list.
    Time to kick it out of there! I don’t want any scam products on my site.

    So thnx again for the review and all the comments.

    YIKES..!! I live in New Zealand and was offered this program for $A497.00..!! Thats $NZ754..!! Recieving e-mails from people I don’t know, especially if they’re asking for money, always prompts me to Google them for more info.. There is quite a bit of info about the Bieber’s out there, but your blog is by far the most informative and the fairest..

    Thanks for your objectivity and integrity.. And thanks especially to you for the time you spend to make this information available to us all.. Your efforts are much appreciated..

  49. Thanks Bryan for the comprehensive information. I was about to part with my last $47 when I googled for “Melford and Concetta Bibens, scam”, and I came across your website.
    Thanks also to those who shared their (painful) experiences. In this bad times, there are people who operate outside of their conscience to survive, and suck innocent, naive or trusting people to their scheme.
    We need the good people like you to keep us away from them.
    Would love to hear from sincere, legitimate Internet Marketers who are there to help others make decent $ online. Thanks.

    God Bless!

  50. I hear good and bad things about Cash Making Power Sites. My question is, if everyone gets the same 5 sites, how can everybody make money? I lost my job and need to find something. I am one of those “new guys” to the net and just starting. Call me stupid, but I don’t understand.
    Tony

  51. Tony,

    If I were you, especially because you are without a job, I would stay away from Cash Making Power Sites. I assume all of the good things you heard about the websites came from people who are trying to sell you the system.

    When I did my research all I found were cookie-cutter sites all saying the same thing. So I would not recommend it, given my experience with the sites.

    I will say though, Tony, it is important that you have a web presence because the more websites you have, the more money you can make online. That simple.

    One program I believe that will do this for you is Auto Content Cash. You can get to it by Clicking Here!

    This will allow you to make your own blogs with easy, simple to follow instructions. These sites will make you passive, set-and-forget income or you can sell them at a later date for profit.

    Since you are new to being online, this would be one of my best recommendations.

  52. Boy do I feel like a DOUBLE IDIOT. I buy the program at $67, not $47 like most of you were offered. Stupid thing is AFTER I make the purchase, I think, maybe I should do some research on these people. So, I googled them and I actually came up with some pretty negative information to start out with. Then I came here and read all your comments, and am so glad I did. I just signed up about 2 hours ago, and I’m confident I won’t have any problems with ClickBank. Sometimes though, I can’t ‘leave well enough alone’ and decide to take the issue a few steps further. In a similar situation, I was told to Report them to the Federal Trade Commission, The California Department of Consumer Affairs (CDCA), who directed me to The Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General, the BBB, and the FBI’s IC3 Unit that is organized to handle internet fraud. Their URL is http://www.ic3.gov. I don’t know if this helps anyone out, but it could be good information to have. Sorry for the babbling.

  53. Thanks for the warning. There are far too many scams on the Internet, and all of them needs to be exposed.
