Review Summary:
I've taken a look at Megan Jackson's Profit From Home system and suggest you AVOID it at all costs. You'll see in the full review below the site uses a testimonial from an old FTC complaint! Wow.
This is your chance to decide whether or not the Megan Jackson Profit From Home System is a scam or a legitimate way to make money. Here’s what I found out as I went through the sales process:
1. I first received the following email from a list to which I’m subscribed:
The list is using the name Michelle Morris, although I’m doubtful that that’s a real person.
2. Clicking on the link in the Michelle Morris work at home email took me to the fake advertorial news site Consumer Trends Today at Consumer-Trends-Today.com
For some reason the fake advertorial news site wants me to know that it’s been advertised on the following sites:
I don’t know if Profit From Home or Consumer Trends Today has been advertised on those sites, but that’s besides the point. Whether or not the Profit From Home program or Consumer-Trends-Today.com site have been advertised on those sites is meaningless.
Note: A resident of the UK recently told me the following:
“We do have commercial TV which is known as Independent Television and we have some well known commercial radio stations like Classic FM and Radio London but nobody can advertise on the BBC.”
3. Consumer Trends Today is promoting a program called Profit From Home:
4. Megan Jackson’s Profit From Home HUGE RED FLAG
Megan Jackson’s work at home system is using a testimonial from an old FTC complaint as you can see in the images below:
Here’s the testimonial in the FTC complaint:

If there’s enough interest, I’ll be happy to post more about this.

Hello Mr Schlegel,
Do you have a list of “legit” work at home sites?
Thank you,
Linda

Linda,
If you mean traditional type of work, you’ll probably want to check out this free list of sites that provide free telecommuting leads on a regular basis:

Joe says
Of course he doesn’t. He makes his money from busting out fools who put there scams out there. It seems anytime you ask for any help that is the only kind of help you get. Or you pay for something that makes you pay for something that makes you study something, and so on ad infinitude. Like a critic making a living off of judging other people’s failures and or successes but not really offering any assistance except sparing you getting burned. I WOULD FALL OVER MYSELF to actually to see some real assitance other than bogus forums where people spend time telling you what not to do or affiliates crying about how things are changing on the net. YAWN. In a way I am just as bad for calling things out, but hey I am not making a dime off this rant. Later..
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says
I don’t know who this “Joe” guy is, but he doesn’t seem to be able to read very well.. The list I just posted for the previous commenter is a list of FREE sites I don’t get paid for at all.
It’s also possible he’s a shill for the Megan Jackson system, although I don’t think so in this case. If he is, he’s pretty clever.
David Chavis says
Please stop sending E-Mails to my address. My phone has received several today & please stop sending.I AM NOT INTERESTED AT ALL. STOP, STOP, STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe says
Ha ha! Amen.
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says
Huh? Why are you posting that request here. Shouldn’t you be contacting the actual company about that?
Jason says
I just signed up though looking on here I may regret it I want to make money from home doing some transcript work or something that I can do on the computer for money while im at work. I have invested 47.00 and gave them my bank card #’s so I hope that it is legit. I will post anything that happens to me along the way good or bad for the people that read this site please email me with any concerns that u have experience with this program. I would also like to find legit online work. thank you
Shaza says
Please do keep us updated, that would be very helpful! There are legitimate places to work online but it was the certification claim on this one that attracted me. But keep us posted on how it goes!
Alisa says
So basicaly most work at home jobs are scams?
has anyone done the megan jackson thing?
Jason says
I also only diid it because of the abc nbc msnbc recommendations for making money online, not sure if they have a story on http://www.profit-members.com/tpl/emldefault/sales_page.php but i emailed all those news programs personally so if it is a scam they can sue for saying they did recommend it and find the bastards that made the scam. i will know more tommarrow when i proceed with the program and when the news companys email back will post results.
Jazmine says
Can u let me know what happen was it a scam? Or real
Lesley says
I was going to try this, but now wondering if I should. Is it working out for you?
Eva says
Hi Paul Schlegel,
I recently lost my job and I would appreciate it if you could help me out with finding legit work from home sites.
Thank you
Eva

If you are looking for beginning training in generating income from your own website, you might want to take a look at this video which will give you a reality check.
If you are looking for more traditional work, I have a good list of free places where you can look here:
/work-at-home-jobs/
Mv says
What about it or what happens as this is a scam? Do you not get paid at all? What do they gain, your credit card information?
KK says
Check out this site…see if you still want to try this program…..made me leary…thinking its fake…
claudia silva says
I wanted to start a business from hm to spand more time with my kids I told by bofriends I was very exite to think finaly am going to make money in the house not work in the factory..I thought I made an investment buying a computer install internet and got the course Now to read and made my own investigation to find out this Michael Wilson profit from home system doesn’t even exist..and the stupid people I had talk to me probably they don’t have a clue am asking about..Am getting my money back..
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says
Did you buy just the course? Or did they sell you “coaching” or “training”, too?
If you only bought the course and you can’t get a refund with them, then you can:
– If you paid by credit card, file a dispute – the dispute procedures are typically on the back of your billing statetment
– If you paid by debit card, you’ll need to talk to your bank about how their dispute procedures work.
Devon says
Hey Paul, Just wanted to say I think you’re a pretty awesome guy for posting this. Thanks.
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says
Thanks, Devon.
Karen says
Glad I found this because I received a e-mail today about Megan Jackson profit from home & was going to look into it.
Joel says
Let me see, where do I start. Well, stupid is as stupid does…well, not exactly. I’ll be filing my dispute tomorrow. Anthony Cline was supposed to call today to discuss “the” opportunity with my partner. Take a guess, you’re correct.. no call at all. I actually got home early today and was doing a little research (probably should have done that in the first place) and wow, not that i’m totally surprised about all the bad bad bad stuff about Profit From Home Academy after having slept on it a couple of days now. I’m a bit disappointed, but then again, that seems to be the target audience they have. Well, long story short, I’ll be doing much better due diligence in the future, so not a total loss if you look at it that way. I’ll check back from time to time to check out other potential prospects.
Erika says
I just recently got the same email, that took me through the same process. As I was looking through the websites I thought they were pretty sketchy, but somewhere along the way I gave them my email and phone number. I didn’t think anything of it until I got several phone calls from them this morning. They continued to call until I answered. I went a long with what they were saying until they asked me for my bank account info. I told them I would think about it and said they would call me back. I’m not sure what to think, it seams to good to be true. Is this really a scam? Should I invest my money in this?
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says
Yes it’s really a scam and if you proceed you are about to lose thousands of dollars – or at least they will try to squeeze you out of however much money you have available.
alicia says
Hi Paul, thank you so much for your advice, I have been looking for work from home for many years but after loosing a couple of hundred of dollars, I’ve got too scared to try again. I am going to look work at home site and I hope I can find something to do here from Australia. Can you give a clue in how long do you think it will take for training in generating income from your own website.
I am not sure what URL do you want here to fill, is this only for people that have a website?
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says
Yes. That’s for people with a website.
There’s no way to predict how long it will take for you to make money with your own website or if you’ll make money at all. I’m just trying to provide information that will increase the odds in peoples’ favor.
You might want to join a couple of the free forums on the work at home jobs page as there are International sections. Its’ more traditional work. The forums provide leads and you can discuss different types of work with the people there and also find out what companies are bad and good to work for. This is the link:

Adine says
So disappointed. Would love one of these “work from home jobs” to be legit. Thankful I read this page prior to throwing away another sing up fee.

Ann says
I was wondering what your thoughts were on the home business pure-ecommerce.com. They offer several business ops to buy.
anastasie Bush says
I signed with Megan Jackson’s online cash commission last night. My grandson deleted my sign up paper which had the phone number on it. Is there any way that I can go about securing it because I want to cancel.
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says
Sounds like a website that the “Megan Jackson” people were promoting. Do you still have a link to the website?
Shelley Patterson says
Oh boy! I fell for this one! I read through all the nonsense intro and paid the fee. As soon as I saw the content, I regretted my decision. I immediately called to cancel and the outside billing company quickly canceled and did not charge my credit card. But since they a guy named Jason at 801-456-6867 calls me every single day. I answered one time to clearly state I canceled the order and did not want anything to do with the product. He played the pushy salesperson trying to force me into using the B.S. that they offer. In the latest phone call, he threatened to send me to collections. I am filing complaints with any and every agency I can. I wish I had found your article before getting into this!
Inez says
Oh boy! Sure wish I found this before I signed up. I just signed up and followed all the steps to building a website of my own. I closed the link after I had finished doing that and was trying to get back to the website to do the next step. I searched for Megan Jackson Online Commissions on google to find the website and found this forum instead. I also tried calling the number they provided only to find out they are only open M-F 9am-3pm MST. I’m so upset that I fell for this scam! How are scammers able to get away with this type of thing?! I feel like an idiot!
jen says
almost signed up this morning like an idiot. Thank you for this article that saved me a lot of headaches and my hard earned money.
