Kim Swartz is a fictional person used by numerous sites to promote various work at home scams. Often the sites are fake news sites designed to look like real news. Typically they will say that she is a stay at home mom.
Here are a few of the work at home scams that sites using the Kim Swartz name have promoted recently.
Web Fortune Master Scam
The Web Fortune Master scam is one of the more recent scams being promoted by sites using the Kim Swartz character. I have a warning about that scam here that you may want to read.
Profit Web System Scam
Another recent scam being promoted this way was the Profit Web System scam. That site no longer exists because it was getting so many complaints that they decided to change the name of the site.
Stay At Home Revenue Warning
One of the earliest scams I put a warning up about for sites using this fictional person’s name was the Stay At Home Revenue site. That site used a number of stock photos for its testimonials. You can see the warning about Stay At Home Revenue here.
Work At Home University Warning
This one also uses the name Work At Home Institute. You can see the original Work At Home University warning here.
The Free Consultation Trap
All of these sites are designed to get you to talk to a hard sell sales person. They do it by claiming that you are getting a “bonus” free consultation. The real reason for the free consultation is to try to figure out how much money you have available and then to squeeze as much money as possible out of you.
Fake News Sites Using The Kim Swartz Name
The number of sites using the Kim Swartz name to promote questionable home business ideas is much larger than what you’ll see below. The main thing to know is that if you see the name “Kim Swartz” and “work at home” on the same page, you should take a step back and really question what you’re looking at.
If you’re still not sure, you can always contact me to ask my opinion using the contact link listed at the top of this page.

Hello, has any one here know anything about Commission Fast Start by Justin James
it has been my experience these so called commission sites might really have instructions videos
but they don’t really show you anything and most at the end of a video will route you to a link or page where they actually ask you for more of your hard eared money and you have yet to make a cent or learn anything.
I ran accross your website looking for work at home jobs, hopefully serching for free sign up. Web fortune vault is were I ran into you. On your website can I access most of the websites I view? I’m currently working but HATE my job been there 21 yrs phone work, don’t want that anymore. Can you recomend any legitamate work at home jobs? Kathy
Kathy,
I would suggest you join a couple of the free forums that provide free leads for home jobs and freelance work. I have a good list here:
/work-at-home-jobs/
I know you can find many legitimate job positions on http://www.simpletelecommute.com a search engine specifically for work at home and telecommute jobs.
Looks reasonable. Did you put it together, Nicole?
Did Nicole ever reply to your post re: http://www.simpletelecommute.com ; The problem I’ve run into with many of these work from home is that Colorado appears to have stricter rules, and you can’t post to Amazon, for example. Any advise on how to weed those out?
Do you mean Amazon’s ban on affiliate marketers in Colorado?
I knew it it was scam. Been searching for Kim Swartz. Kim Swartz of Nuuk? Come on. Its fake. Im from Nuuk city. And there is no Kim Swartz in Nuuk. But thanks for informationer.
my Kim was Kim Swartz of Peoria IL. I sent out a signal on FB if anyone knows her (I know many peeps here) and nobody knows her.
My Kim said she was from Orange County where I am from..
Yeah the Kim Swartz I saw just happened to be from where I live, Johns Island SC. Red flag in the headline to me was that she made an EXTRA 8000.00 a month. Extra? Really? Does that mean she’s still working an actual job? You know what they say, everybody. If something sounds too good to be true it probably IS.
I entered in work from home and an article appeared and low and behold she was from my hometown. Wow, how was that possible. However, after reading your post I am skeptical as her name happens to be Kim Swartz. Is this a scam or just ironic?

That’s a fake news site with a fake story. It’s a scam.
Its a fake…because I happen to be searching for a job and came across the same name in my home town and she made $8000 in a month…. Almost had me convinced with the news report on “TV” lol which I only seen online.
Yep – She lives in my city (Littleton) too! LOL
Do u know any legit work at home jobs I really would like one but they all seem like scams.
Try this page:

For me I got an email about kim swartz and said she was from Mililani, HI . I assumed it was a scam.
Came across her name for working from home, being a single mother in South Africa and earning $. Thought it might be a scam. We do not generally earn $ in SA.
Sounds like the scammers need to do a better job with their geo-tracking script.
Thanks, Sharlene.
Can you please tell me if http://www.ratracerebellion.com is a legit work from home website. Thanks
Yes. They are. You just have to watch out for the ads on the site.

Great report. Kim wartz in medway. Nothing like that. They use fake name to look real . I am looking for work at home job and I ran into work at home institute. Kim is used as a model in my town with only three positions left. I started searching for her so that I can visit her in my little town and confirm the legit of this program. Thank God I read the scam report.
Just wanted to say thank u for going out of YOUR WAY, to find out the ‘
‘TRUTH’. We need more people like you in this world!!
Thanks, Kylie.
Muchisssiiisissiisisimas Gracias, Pablito! Y/made my day….The same name, the same picture; idem words & tv show. The same b.s. Thanks a lot x y/kindness!!!
Lol, I know Kim Swartz, she’s not a fictional character, but I’m not so sure if it’s a scam since I didn’t know she changed jobs since last time I saw her. Actually, wait, I think she did change jobs, not sure.
lol.
Is the “Work At Home EDU” course from Michelle Robinson legit and refund guaranteed as published?
Tammy, sorry for the late reply. That is a scam. The new version is called Work At Home Revenue – although sometimes you’ll just see it called Michelle Robinson Work At Home.
Thank you for this site. Was curious about working from home and saw Michelle Robinson Work At Home course promoted by Kim Swartz a woman who lives close to my home!
Yep. That’s just a geo-location script that makes you think a person lives near you.
I found a guy named Robert Rodgers, He placed an ad on Craigslist for a csr job not an opportunity then when I called him he asked me to go to his webinar which gives a run down of the job. the url is http://www.theinformationgroup.net I went to it and even talked to him it says when you want to sign up to call him and in the info it says you have to pay 250.00 for the software he told me that they pay that not me. Hmm then asked if I sent him my resume, I had not but did. since he said it was no cost. Then I went looking at other work at home sites and found this Kim Swarts from Beaverton, and the website had the exact signatures on it same advertising but its a different
program but they show same video and have the same header pictures. Have you heard of this?
The Information Group looks extremely dubious – biggest red flag is it’s claim to have been seen on various news stations – that’s something that a huge number of scams will claim without any evidence. Something like that should turn up in a basic Google search – which it didn’t.
