Like many other websites offering you the chance to make hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a daily basis, the Online Cash Commissions website also makes use of bold red words to emphasize its so-called “business opportunity”. If you go to their official website, you will instantly be greeted by a message that goes like this:
“If you can spare 60 minutes a day, we can offer you a certified, proven and guaranteed home job to make up to $379/day from home.”
To make things even more exciting, the website will also congratulate you and further inform you of the number of ‘slots’ or ‘positions’ available in your area. And like most of the other programs that have used this marketing gimmick, it will use a low number that will make you think that you have to grab the opportunity or someone else will be taking your place.
Online Cash Commission Seems To Be Related To “Profit From Home”
I put out a warning about a program called Profit From Home in June of 2013. I checked the source code of the Sandra Miller work at home site and noticed that “Profit From Home” is still showing up in the coding as you can see below:

How To Stear Clear Of Hundreds Of Scams
If you want to avoid a huge number of online scams, you can easily do so by avoiding the most common fake persona’s that are used for them. I’ve put a list of the more popular ones here: Fake Bizop Names A to Z.
Why Are Sites Like Online Cash Commissions So Pervasive?
Basically, the entire Online Cash Commissions sales process is based on half-truths. Unfortunately, the site leaves out the most important facts that you need to know about the type of business Online Cash Commissions claims to offer.
The most insidious half-truth that the site uses is claiming that they offer a training program that will make people a ‘Search Engine Agent’. There is no such thing as a “Search Engine Agent”. However, there is such a thing as affiliate marketing, which does involve some link placement, but not at all in the way that Online Cash Commissions would like you to believe.

The Expensive Coaching Trap
Programs like Online Cash Commissions are essentially “lead generation” programs to get you to try to talk to a sales person who will try to get you to buy expensive coaching that you don’t need. This is why the site claims that you will get a “Free One-On-One Consultation With A Success Advisor.” It’s simply a gimmick to get you to talk to a salesperson.
The Bottom Line: Avoid Online Cash Commissions!
Sadly, sites like Online Cash Commissions scam and other similar unscrupulous sites have resulted in a multitude of individuals hating the work at home industry. Nobody can blame them, because they have been robbed of their hard-earned money. While you should beware these sites, you should also know that there are several other legitimate ways to make money from home.

Thanks for posting this. i was heavily pressured to agree to commit to a cost of 10,000 dollars by one of Sandra Miller’s associates, newbeginningseducation.net, and I said no because of the pressure more than anything being a red flag. The sales director admitted that the testimonials were true but the names were fake, and that no-one would take the course if they knew ahead of time that they’d have 10,000 debt all of a sudden to pay back monthly.

Thanks for sharing this information Victoia.

Thank you for having this page. I looked up the Online Cash site and was very worried about the ” too good to be true deal”. I am very happy to see my concern was validated and I feel better for not falling victim to such a scam. How can tv stations endorse such a thing, its almost disgusting to see that even they can be fooled than via fool a whole base of people like myself. Once again thank you for your info and warnings.
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says
The TV stations don’t endorse it. The people who made the site just use those logos to make you think the stations are endorsing it.

I signed up for the online cash commissions because of an email sent to me. It played a broadcast of a Cherry Hill single mom and how she was so successful with that. I am dying to have a Work at Home opportunity being a caregiver. Anyhow, it was broadcasted by very credible news outlets such as NBC, CNN and ABC. Perhaps their investigative reporters or consumer reporters should have checked it out. So as I was going through the materials, it certainly did not turn out to be so easy. There is tons of material to go through and you have to talk to a so called one-on-one coach of some kind. They offered free website. It just looked ridiculously overwhelming. When you go through their webiste there is just too much reading material promising and promising success, another red flag. So I called right back and requested my money back which they did agree to. They claim there is a 60 day money back guarantee but I said no thanks. Thenk you for your article.

They claimed that you could get paid for setting up links for companies and get paid $15 to $20 dollars per link and it would only take you approximately only 3 to 4 minutes to set up a link. Then they sight you could average 15 links per hour. The problem, which they do not tell you, that you actually have to set up an individual website for each link. Then you have to start advertising your web site in hope somebody clicks your web site and you are able to pass the business. There is a whole lot of cost, experience that they claim you don’t need. Yes, you can set up a website if you know what your are doing. If you don’t they give you very little info on just how to do that. The non-knowledgeable person, is probably talking many days to finally get everything set up, plus a lot more cost. SCAM-SCAM-SCAM

Great summary of how these link-posting scams work.
Dixie says
I have also been scammed by Sandra Miller. What number do I need to call to get my money back? This is ridiculous
.
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says
I’m not sure what number they are using now. They are supposed to make it easy to contact them.
If you can’t get a refund directly from them, you’ll need to file a dispute. If you paid with a credit
card, the dispute procedures are typically on the back of your billing statement.
If you paid with a debit card, you’ll need to talk to your bank.
tahsha says
the # to call is 1-888-930-1934 just talked to them
Paul Schlegel (Founder, WorkAtHomeTruth) says

I got into the online cash site, paid $77 for the course information and material not researching the whole thing before hand only to find out the ads they posted were lies. However, the material does make sense and it does provide you with real sites to Affiliated groups to share links with. It certainly makes everything seem easier than it probably is but that is marketing 101, right. They tell you to call the number to speak to someone who will guide you. I did this and got through to a company called Wealthonimics who apparently are there to educate you and get you up and running so that you can provide testimonials to their success rate. I looked up this company and found nothing negative about it (still looking to make sure). Deeper into the discussion they get to the fees and costs of educating you. Now that seems disappointing but I have to admit that if someone is going to train you how to make a lot of money shouldn’t they be paid? My feeling is that there is a lack of transparency but ultimately they are offering something to someone for a price. The price is unexpectedly high – $7-15K depending on how they set you up for the amount of money you want to make. That is where they lost me. Their idea is that the more you pay the more money they say you can make with their training. Seems like an odd way of training people.
Sara says
They also say you have to wait the 30 trial period to get your money back, even though they already charge your account. I waited the 30 days like an idiot. Now Im worried Ill never get my money back! Any advice on that?
