My Dot Com Business Scam Review, R.I.P. “The Scammed”
For all of the lost souls that failed to make it to My Dot Com Business Scam Review on time; I’m very sorry. It saddens me to see so many people getting affected by these kinds of scams. please feel free to express your feelings below. I’m not going to make this article very long, especially because the fact the website is only a page or two long. If you have stumbled upon my website in hopes that My Dot Com Business is legit. You have failed. It is not legit, and I don’t know if I would even consider it a real business. It’s a pyramid scheme.
The Secrets Of My Dot Com Business
It is not it’s own business. Technically the website does not even have it’s own products (which there is nothing wrong with that), but the website is run in an unethical way. That 
is, it advertises false promises. The website was built by an affiliate of Matt Lloyd’s My Online Business Education. If you haven’t yet checked out my review of MOBE; Basically, what this website is doing is referring you to sign up for low quality, overpriced products produced by MOBE.
If you watched the video. Paul Lynch (website Owner) talks about guaranteeing that you will get a sale within the first 14 days of signing up. It only cost 49$ dollars, and you could be making 10,000 dollars your first month. $49 dollars for 10,000 your first month. What do you have to lose?
He himself apparently made a million his first year that He joined (good for him). You are also going to get these great sales-teams to do your bidding for you. Paul forgets to mention that, first you must be up-sold these thousand dollar products before you can make money off them. This means in order to get those 50 percent commissions from your “sales team”; you have to first purchase this $9,000 dollar product, or any kind that cost a lot. It’s kinda like you’re buying the rights to sell it yourself, which thousands of others are doing too(Silly them).
The only people that actually make money doing this is the top people; while the bottom is sinking more and more in debt. Of course, only to be re-payed with more false promises of wealth. You shouldn’t quit now though; spend $5,000 dollars more to be able to sell a product that will really increase your conversions. They advertise that you can’t get this product anywhere else in the world. So, how come I know a great educational place that can teach the same stuff with 20 lessons free and two free websites?.
It just doesn’t make sense. There’s not even an option to get some sneak peek of the product for free which I find shady. Instead the video just talks about how much money you can make, and you should buy today. What about the product? I still don’t know what I’m really buying. I always preferred trying something before you decide to buy it. You wouldn’t buy a $20,000 dollar car without test driving it, would you? That’s the kind of money that you will be putting into this business. If I’m going to spend $20,000 dollars on a business, I’d rather make my own legitimate product with that money.
Different Name Same Game
Just because you bought the rights to some MOBE product, and made it sound better, doesn’t mean it is better. The guarantee of $500 dollars that’s promised, if you don’t make money the first few weeks, is a false lie as well. My Top Tier Business is a 21 step program that tells you to buy more products as you progress through the steps. So before you get paid $500 dollars for not being satisfied first you have to spend thousands of dollars more. Why are you even thinking about trying this place out?
R.I.P. “The Scammed”
Do you really want to go broke? Do you want to become part of “The scammed?” If you said no than don’t bother joining. Your money will get sucked out of you like a vacuum. It’s a risk not worth taking. They act like you can get $100,000 dollars a month average your first year. It’s not possible to just get rich overnight like that. Not this way at least. If you need more information about what MOBE is; then check out my review.
Of course, if you already realized that this place is unethical. Then Check out Wealthy Affiliate. It’s where I started. It’s free to get started; no credit card required. You’ll receive two free websites, 20 free lessons, and tons of support from the community of over 100,000 people, without spending a penny. Now you can truly try before you buy. No Up-selling in this program and no spammers are allowed. Wealthy Affiliate has a strict policy on spammers. Check out my wealthy affiliate review here.

Tell me what your thoughts are about the businesses practices. Do you agree or disagree? Were you one of the unlucky people that got thrown into more debt than ever before in hopes of finding online success? Please tell me your stories. Other people deserve to know what goes on here.

Anything Paul lynch puts up online is a massive scam, be warned any of his businesses from the past have all been closed then rinsed and repeated, theft and fraud is committed due to the fact you pay you get temporarily a site hosted then hey presto they are all gone. Action fraud wants to hear from all conned members. Do not buy, his sites are not franchise approved, check it out, don’t just sing his praises to get a link to your own pathetic site that you have paid him for.
Hey whaddya know? Yet ANOTHER legit product bashed so that the blog owner could try and funnel people into his own crappy “Wealthy Affiliate” program!
These “reviews” really make me laugh. As if Wealthy Affiliate is any better or worse than the same product that the author is bashing and calling “scams.”
I’m a “My Dot Com Business” member, and it absolutely ROCKS. It is NOT a “pyramid scheme” at all. Sure, you have to recruit people to make commissions, just like EVERY other membership program out there, INCLUDING Wealthy Affiliate.
This article is misleading, is not based on fact, and is borderline libelous if you want my opinion.
Hey Chris,
Apparently you haven’t read the article and other comments on this page, But i’m glad you feel that way about me. Like I said previously, when I did this review, My Dot Com Business was disguised as MOBE(IDK maybe it’s changed), and last I checked MOBE has been shutdown by the FTC because of claims of it being a “pyramid scheme”.
So Fact,fiction, Scam artist, whatever you want to call this you should pop your bubble first and open your eyes because you obviously don’t have all the information yourself. And yes, Wealthy Affiliate does pay you for bringing new members,but no it’s not a recruitment based program. Which you would know if you tried it yourself.
Wealthy Affiliate teaches you how to build a REAL business in any niche or topic of your choosing. You can build a website all about Star Wars, or Baseball, or Hiking, or Video Games, or anything else your little heart desires, and GET PAID for doing it.
That’s what WA teaches you. You NEVER have to recruit another member in your entire life if you don’t want to. The choice is yours, but I’m not gonna sit here try to convince you.
You should try them out for yourself since it’s completely free to do lol.
All the Best,
Brandon
It’s funny how almost EVERY negative review of EVERY opportunity under the sun that has the word “scam” injected in it ends up with suggesting WA as an alternative, not sure what WA is teaching its members, but I can’t call that a scam myself because the program I’m in didn’t teach me to blindly bash others. That was just my two cents on this
Hey Momen,
I appreciate your two cents. I just wish you didn’t feel that way. “Scam” is a very negative word, so you really shouldn’t be surprised that you are reading a lot of negativity. The fact is though, 9 times out of 10, a “make money online” program is a scam. This is fact, not fiction.
You should ask yourself, “Why does everyone suggest Wealthy Affiliate as an alternative?” You should also ask yourself, “How all these people are able to be found in Google on the top pages. Because that’s how you bring traffic(or customers) to your website to make money. Obviously WA is teaching something right.
And as far as bashing, I may have injected some negativity into the article, but do you really like being scammed and not warned about it before hand? People suggest to me not to do “this or that” all the time because they had a bad experience. Doesn’t mean I always listen, but I at least take their advice into consideration.
Lastly, had you read my article you would have seen I pointed out a lot of reasons and discrepancies why I don’t recommend a product. If you’re trying to buy Nike shoes and someones sells you a knock off and claims they are Nike, you would be mad. That’s all I’m getting at. Wealthy Affiliate has a free membership, so you can try before you buy. If you like it, great! If not, at least you got to experience WA without having to worry about being scammed.
Have a great day, and best of luck with any endeavor you decide to join.
Brandon
If you think that bashing other products in order to bring traffic to your website so you can promote Wealthy Affiliate is “right,” you are DELUSIONAL. It’s the scammiest technique you can use.
LOL Chris,
Bashing products has nothing to do with bringing traffic to a website. That’s not how Google ranks pages. Gotta post that quality content silly. And hey, if I feel WA is the best out there I have every “right” to let people know.
Free hosting, 1’000s of training videos and articles, 1-on-1 mentorship from successful people, a Facebook-like community for support and help, a Keyword tool to help rank and bring traffic to your business, and plenty of other awesome material. And, you get to try them out for Free! How is that not an awesome program to learn how to build a business?
But, hey I’m just scamming people by telling them an awesome program they can test out for free. The choice is up to you what you want to believe.
Love,
Brandon
P.S. you would be pretty mad if I knew of a bogus product and decided to let you buy it anyways without a warning. Nobody wants to waste their hard-earned money for dust.
Seven weeks ago on the advice of someone I knew well Andrew Reynolds, pointed me to “Mydotcom” business. I initially signed up as a Pro member for £77 pounds then after talking to one of the sales team/coach I took the plunge and upgraded to Franchise. The promise was to build the website on your domain within 14 working days . Still now after paying out for 2 domains, signing up with Aweber and paying out for a logo to be created I have NOTHING!!!! I write to support (that’s a laugh)and hear nothing, Skype the “Coach” nothing! I now feel Paul Lynch was one of Andrew Reynolds buddies whom I was pass on to as a mug!! as I have participated (without any success) in his programs. Well I think it all sucks and I am having nothing more to do with so called online businesses. I have yet to find one after 20 years of trying!!!!
Hey Brandon. I feel this review is uncalled for . I am a member of my dot com business and have been now for a year or so. I’ve also been a member of WA which I cancelled today upon reading this review for fear of turning into someone like you. Now I don’t spend my time writing reviews on a program because it’s pointless, everyone’s experience is different so your opinion is irrelevant in someone else’s eyes. In my personal opinion, WA’s ‘ETHICAL’ approach to a product review is to write everything bad about so your readers will join your program instead. Very professional!!! Also I can guarantee you’ve never been a member of MDCB and from personal experience, it’s nothing like MOBE
Hey Ross,
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I will admit my review is a little harsh, but I am human and sometimes the frustration of getting duped can get to me. 9 times out of 10 an online product is a scam. So I see a lot of crap. But with that being said, I want you to realize what you are saying. You cancelled WA because you didn’t want to be like me? I mean I help people so that doesn’t offend me. But seriously, there are evil business people and good business people. Are you going to quit learning how to build your own business just cause you don’t like how some people are? Especially one that doesn’t effect you? That just doesn’t make sense to me. You’re setting yourself up for failure thinking that way.
You can say reviews are irrelevant, but you did come to this page, so I would say you want to hear other people’s opinions of programs and products, you just didn’t like my opinion. That’s fine, not everyone will. I have to accept that and help the people that do appreciate my thoughts.
Your opinion on WA’s approach I feel is wrong too. They teach you to do your research and write an honest review. Which you would know if you followed the training. But yes, there are people that bash everything without having real knowledge or doing the research. This isn’t just a WA problem.
Plus, WA doesn’t tell you to be a review site. You can learn how to build a business in Traveling, Fashion, Camping, Sports, or any other kind of interest, hobby, or passion you have.
I’m also not sure how you can be upset with me recommending my own product when I don’t like another. I don’t have ads on here( your welcome). So how do you expect me to make money without recommending my choices? MOBE says they are the best. Affilorama says they are the best. Wealthy Affiliate says they are the best. Should they not recommend their superior products when comparing to an inferior competitor? No one will make money if they don’t.
And lastly, unless My Dot Com Business changed their products( I wrote this over two years ago). Yes, it is MOBE so I have no reason to join cause I’m not signing up for MOBE. Other comments on this thread have confirmed that. Other websites that wrote a review around the same time can confirm that. And I took screenshots(which are in the review) of the video talking about Matt Lloyd( MOBE owner) and MTTB( MOBE product). Like I said, if the product changed and it’s something better. Great! But when I wrote this review that wasn’t the case. And I’m not looking to go to the gym when I walk into a business that advertises as a coffee shop.
Best of luck to whatever endeavors you pursue and watch out for the shiny object syndrome.
Best Regards,
Brandon
Brandon you are a little wanker! Clearly you’ve never joined any of these systems.
Scared to do the work and then give up!
Little c**t! You need a good slap
LOL
Scott, instead of name calling why don’t you talk about the product? Or are you mad because you failed with MOBE and now have to resort to name calling to justify your purchase? You know nothing about me to tell me what I’m scared of. I do work and now I make money online, how’s your business? And I did check out Mobe, I got access to MTTB, so shows how much you know.
Hater’s gonna hate,
Brandon
Brandon,
You said you make money online – is that with MOBE? I’ve been trying to get a refund for the initial $49 and another $77 for the Pro, total $126.00. I thought it sounded good, but my assistant was pushing me a little to much. It’s quoted it is a self-pasted program. I still work full time, so I just get the steps done fast enough and it did get me very stressed, so I cancelled and have been trying to get my money back since December 17, 2017. Any suggestions on how to get them to refund my money? Thank you for your time.
Hey Judy,
Sorry for such a late reply. I’m currently in Thailand right now, so I’ve been traveling a bit. As far as MOBE, no that is not how I make money. I personally don’t believe in what they are doing. I feel it’s overpriced, deceptive, and there are way too many horror stories.
I learned how to make money from Wealthy Affiliate. You are not required to promote them. You are allowed to make a blog about anything you like, most people recommend doing one about your passion so the writing is a lot more enjoyable to do.
As far as getting your refund, the best option is probably calling your bank and attempting to get the charge reversed. Mobe doesn’t really have much of a refund policy, or at least they refuse most of the time from the stories I’ve been told from people with personal experiences.
Best Regards,
Brandon
I joined the My Dot Com Business Bonus, purchased my domain and sent off the details as instructed, a couple of days later I tested if my site was ready, it looked as if it was. But one thing stuck out like a sore thumb. I clicked on the Downline button, I expected to see nothing, but what I did see amazed me, there were and half a dozen names listed, that looked familiar when I checked these out I found out that these were the leads I have back in 2015 when I tried MOBE, so as you say it is the same product just offered in a different way.
They promise to send you 500 leads, I checked with my upline sponsor to see how he had got on, he confirmed that he hadn’t had any of his 500 leads yet even though he’s been in a couple of months. The only sales he had made were from people he had introduced himself. My sponsor told me that it took almost 3 weeks before his website was ready, surely it doesn’t take 3 weeks to build a website, I think it’s just a delay tactic to stop you applying the 30-day Refund option.
Ok they are giving you training on how to advertise to find your customers but promising 500 or even 30 for the Pro membership then not delivering is totally out of order. They show you these tactics so that you’ll go out and get your own customers. I’m glad I’m within the 30-day Refund option time, I guess I’m lucky that I only bought it via 4 monthly payment option. I will be cancelling this for sure.
Hey Derrick,
Sounds like to me you joined Mobe, didn’t like it and left, a few years later you saw what looked like a “new” business (My Dot Com), and joined with expectations of something different than past experiences. But instead, you got Mobe’d (seems to be the term nowadays for people who had a bad experience) because the name was changed or you would have never joined again.
That’s tough luck, but the reality of what deceptive marketing is. It’s sad really. And you are right, it doesn’t take 3 weeks to build a website. It takes 30 seconds! Now that 30 seconds doesn’t include content, but Matt Lloyd being the “expert” should have a team of people that can write up some content quickly, especially with the cost of the program.
I hope you get your refund with no issues. Give an update when you get your refund.
Best Regards,
Brandon
Am not usually happy with Wealthy Affiliate Affiliates berating other products in favour their own but in light of the above review I support your opinion and analysis 100%. M.O.B.E is nothing but a lifeless D__K . There is now a class system in the internet marketing arena and the MO.B.E.Y DICK program is the elitist of them all. Imagine how peeved I was when my very mentor John Chow who originally rooted for the grassroot affiliates back in the early days (2007 – 2010) because on of their leading sponsors!!! This was the guy who taught me a good 50% of what I now know about affiliate marketing and who use to hunt and find the best programs the ordinary online marketer could and make a living from now hyping these type of elitist programs that are not afraid to rip your arms out right from the shoulder socket.
This program has an extremely deceptive and misleading marketing strategy that guilts you in following the breadcrumb trail to the witch’s cauldron and end up being eaten for a late night supper.
The more you realise what’s going on with all the upsell moving from $47 into hundreds and then Thousands to be spent in order to realise the full potential of the program the more stupid and uninformed you feel for not being pulled into the scam – what a heap of MIND F__K psychological spin feeding on the natural greedy impulse of the human psyche – boy these guys are good.
Hope they are using some of their super earnings to feed some of the hungry kids we have in Africa
Hey Allja,
I totally agree with you. I can understand bashing products can leave a bad taste in some people’s mouths, but I only do it to save people money(:. It’s not just about getting a paycheck for me, or I would promote MOBE instead considering how high their commissions can be.
Nonetheless, I can sympathize with your frustration with the type of people that do promote MOBE like John Chow. He’s a marketing genius that started blogging before blogging was ever a thing and has great knowledge on all aspects of internet marketing, but yet sold out, like many other ‘Gurus’, to get a mighty paycheck from high paying programs that focus on the hype more than the actual product themselves. Can Mobe work for some people? Sure it can. But for 99% that try it, they will fail. When they do fail, it won’t be like it’s only $50 so whatever. These programs destroy peoples lives with the high cost and it’s really a shame there can’t be more done about it. That’s why I’m here to spread the information(:.
Anyways, if you need a helping hand with anything, just let me know.
Best Regards,
Brandon
Thank you for your review Brandon! I am already a member of WA, the best membership program on the internet to me. Great for beginners, and more experienced marketers. I don’t know how I got sucked in to going to the MOBE site, but I did. Sound great, a little too great, and I knew I had heard all of this before. So I just googled it, and read your review. Not that I was going to join, but your insight definitely made me not go forward. Keep doing what you are doing, because you are going to save a lot of people from the shiny object, and save them a ton of money. Much better to start slow and with WA, and learn the biz the rite way. Thanks again!
Thank you Rob,
Glad to see you apart of the WA crew. Your words are encouraging for sure. Definitely learn how to build the business the right way.
Best Regards,
Brandon
I am also with WA and MOBE. I have only started recently on the 21-steps and am aware of the commission structure (to make higher commissions I will have to invest in other programs.
Now, so far I have learned SO much about internet marketing from MOBE that it has justified the $49 investment. I was floundering a little with my WA website, and despite all the help and support from the WA community, I still didn’t ‘get’ some things. The early training has changed all that. Suddenly I understand many of the internet marketing concepts a lot clearer, suddenly I can see where business models, PPC, other advertising methods are, what they can do and how they make sense to use in certain circumstances.
Not everyone in MOBE will be in it to be millionaires anyway, some just want the training – and they DO provide excellent training.
WA and MOBE are different – that’s all. But either way, if you want something for nothing (no work, no investment, no time) you won’t make a dime with either. You have to be prepared to work your business as you would any business.
I disagree with the ‘Scam’ aspect, particularly ‘where would you be if it went under’ – well, you would have amazing training in business principles, affiliate marketing methods, traffic, mindset, etc.
Further you can use all those skills in ANY other business. If you paid for a course at university and, for some reason the university collapsed – would your degree, your knowledge, experience and learning suddenly be worthless? No.
You don’t even have to promote MOBE products! That’s a choice. Yes, you might want the training and still purchase the specific training you feel you need, but you may decide to use that to promote something else entirely – both online or offline. So, there you are. That’s my opinion as a member of both programs and I see great benefits of BOTH – they are different, but that doesn’t make one better than the other. It depends on what you want, what you need, and what you do with it!
I appreciate your honest opinion Claire. But as far as the ethics. They advertise $49 to learn everything you need to make a 6 figure income. However, this is just not the case. $49 is just a prelude to all the up-sells coming.
I’ve been on the Mobe email list for a longtime. I occasionally read and watch the videos. Sure, some of the training makes sense and provides value. But ask yourself. Why are going to pay to thousands of dollars just to sell the same product to someone else with a different name? You are doing Mobe a favor promoting their products and yet you have to pay for their product. Walmart, Target, Amazon, and any other reputable company with an affiliate program is Free to sign up. Yet Mobe isn’t. I don’t trust companies that say only this much to be successful and then turn around later and say you need to buy all this other stuff too if you really are committed to succeeding.
Isn’t it interesting how these kinds of sites ALWAYS bash everyone else, while praising the sites THEY are involved in? That is so inauthentic and unprofessional. I am involved in WA (Love it), and MOBE (Love it), and My Dot Com Business (with MOBE, love it!). Most of these kinds of programs WORK (for some), but most people involved do NOT work, or are using techniques to market that do not work. I think it’s time I create MY OWN review site, so I can actually HELP SOMEONE!
Hey Larry,
If you want to make your own review site then go for it. Let me know about and I’ll check it out(;
Answer this question for me. Will ya?
Why wouldn’t I talk about the websites I’m involved with? If I’m still there it usually means I’m satisfied with everything that’s been offered, right?
There is one thing I can agree with you on. You’re right, most people don’t do the work. While I have bashed some places(Like MOBE). There’s good reason behind it.
Does MOBE give some good information? Sure, they do. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t taking advantage of people. Advertising $47 to make THOUSANDS and then turn around and tell you to pay more if you want to make it. That’s very deceptive and a company I don’t want to be affiliated with. So ya, of course I’m going to bash sites that are like MOBE.
It’s unethical. Of course, imagine if MOBE went out of business. ALL of the people that spent money on MOBE are going to get F****D IN THE A**. Excuse my French.
In the case of Wealthy Affiliate, since you mentioned them, if they went under you would be OK because the knowledge they teach you can apply to every business that you decide to build online.
It’s not a Done For You System like these other companies advertise. When the company does all the work for you then you won’t have a clue what to do once they’re gone. That’s not an investment. That’s called gambling because it’s all risk with a small chance of reward.
Best Regards,
Brandon
