Process FromHome

This post refers to Angela Penbrook's "Process FromHome" product found at http://www.rebateprocessortools.com and http://www.myrebateprocessor.com. Ms. Penbrook also owns http://www.myincomeathome.com, which may or may not be the same "Process FromHome" product. These sites are all run by Penbrook Productions.

Process FromHome is a rebate processing opportunity. Enrollment for this product costs $197, for which you receive training materials, access to the rebate processing software, and support via phone and e-mail. Reviewing the business provided literature indicates you will be processing rebates from multiple companies and earning as much as $15 per rebate processed. Each rebate takes around 4 minutes to process. So you can theoretically earn up to $225 per hour. This would net you $9000 in a typical 40 hour work week. A 3-month money back guarantee is given wherein if you are not making money after 3 months, your $197 will be fully refunded.

This information is very misleading. Multiple sites, including the Better Business Bureau, indicate this product is NOT a career in rebate processing. It is basically a marketing tool that will help you sell whatever other multilevel marketing scam you're working on by offering a rebate. So the literature you get likely contains a variety of multilevel marketing packages which you can sell to others as "work from home" information kits (the job they would be doing from home is simply selling these same kits). The Process FromHome package is a marketing package to aid in selling these kits by offering a rebate. And the software allows you to process these rebates yourself. So, it is basically a cover for a multilevel marketing scheme. Check out I've Tried That's review. Or here's a direct quote from the Better Business Bureau:

Complainants allege false advertising, misrepresentation, inability to obtain refunds, and failure to honor their money back guarantee. Some customers complain that instead of receiving an employment opportunity, they received only instructions on internet sales tactics. Other complainants report they are unable to speak with anyone at the company or that company personnel is rude or fails to resolve their concerns. Most complainants allege the company fails to provide any information or instructions on obtaining refunds.

Click through to review the full Better Business Bureau details for Process FromHome. If the link does not work, go directly to the Better Business Bureau website at http://www.us.bbb.org/, click "Check out a Business or Charity," then enter "Penbrook Productions" in the search form and click "Search." The Better Business Bureau has given this company an "F" rating.

I would definitely NOT sign up for this or any other rebate processing program. However, if you are looking for an affiliate marketing program, rebate processing may be a valid way to help drum up more sales, but keep in mind it is not a career in itself -- it is a marketing tool. If you feel this is a good marketing tool, I recommend signing up from a different rebate processing offer, which are typically in the usual price range for online work opportunities -- $30 to $40. Do not sign up for this excessively overpriced and misleading product.
