What is funny about this company is that they think they can continue to scam. However, I am sueing them for not following their contract, but also for harassment. They have clearly lied to me on numberous occasions. I have a huge binder of documentation of lies, deceptions, and harassment; not including phone records. I have requested a Federal Investigation on this company. We will see how everything goes. The 'truth' will come out.

Here is my situation: I received an email about earning money for typing. So I checked it out and gave my name and phone number etc. The same day I was called by a representative from igomogul, but the weird thing was that they didn’t talk much at all about earning money for typing.

I was looking to find an extra “work from home” type job to earn extra cash. The majority of the conversation consisted of them talking about starting your own web business. They were coming at me with all of this propaganda about how they have made all these people millions. Being the trusting person that I am, I thought they were being honest with me. When in actuality they were taking generic information from well known companies and twisting it to seem as if they are affiliated.

For example, they have this youtube video on their website from Fox News, it talks about how people make millions online working from home. But Igomogul twists this information, they tell you that Fox News is referring to their company, when in actuality Fox News has never even heard of or mentioned anything about igomogul.

I won’t get into all the boring details of how they ripped me off but here is the gist of it: They promised me that for $500 I would get a “Custom” Website where I could specify exactly how I would like it designed and laid out. They said they would write the first article on my website. They said I would get paid $5.00 for writing a 250 word article on “WriteZilla.com” (they own this site as well). I was told that I would get a pay-per-click income and a store on my website where I would make commission on the merchandise sold. They told me this would be done in 7-10 business days. Right away they send me this packet of paper and a paper requesting my signature for no refund. My mistake was signing this piece of paper. After that was signed they stopped working for me. They didn’t come through with anything that they promised. I tried to get in touch with them for 3 weeks with no response. The only thing that got them to respond to was my request for a refund. BUT then they had the audacity to ask me for even more money for what they had already promised me.

If you have had a bad experience like me you should go to www.bbb.org and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I just finished filing my complaint. Here is a the information posted about igomogul on the Better Business Bureau website:

I have been waiting soo long for this review. This site is lowerer than an F. I got into this program in February, paid the $200 and was told that they had a writing program which I wanted to do. They said I could earn a lot of money through this program, yeah right! Over a six month period I make around $1150, that averages about 10 bucks a day! Their writing program is slow and unprofitable.

About 4 months into it, I started seeing monthly charges for the web site hosting, not what they promised. Then about 1 1/2 months later, they demanded I pay them almost 12 hundred for 'website updates' and when I said I didn't make any money from the website, not only did they cut off the writing program, but actually turned on me. I was demanded to pay and when I couldn't they got really rude with me.

My advice..stay well away from this company unless you like to throw your money away. And I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one scammed by this company.

This company is dishonest, if they call, hang up!
I've finally figured out how this scam works. Igomogul gets you to contract a website design through them. Igomogul
makes an account with godaddy listing you as the registrant, this is $10 a year. Once a person looks at the "who is" and sees they

are the registrant they are convinced they control the domain name. If they look at the bottom they will discover that it says
registrant can not delete, renew, transfer, or update the account. Should you call godaddy they will tell you that only the person
or company with the log on, password, PIN or account number has control over the domain account. As such the person or company with
that information can delete, renew, transfer, update, sell, give away, or close the account at any time without consent from the
registrant or their knowledge. Should the website fail Igomogul simply tells the registrant is it their fault. Should the website
prove successful Igomogul hs the legal right to sell it and keep th money. Furthermore the content placed on the website is
copyrighted to whom ever has the account information, so that also becomes the property of Igomogul.
Igomogul can use godaddy design and development tools to create the site, this cost less than $50 a year.
At the end of the first 90 days Igomogul demands more money, if you do not pay then they remove the ads from the free AdSense program
and the website now requires a membership log in fee. If you want links added to your webpage Igomogul asks for more money, again
this is a free program that they do not pay for. The bottom line is that Igomogul takes advantage of people who do not have the
experiance to realize everything provided by Igomogul is free or costs less than $100 a year.
Igomogul also uses your google account information to add Analytic, AdSense and the webmaster tool. All of these programs are free so
Igomogul pays nothing to use them. The webmaster tool is the most important one for Igomogul to have access too. Should godaddy

agree to transfer the domain account to you then Igomogul still controls the website through the webmaster tool. Once Igomogul has
the code to the webmaster tool you are locked out and can not verify ownership of the website or use it. At this point it is a
standoff, you can sell the domain name however Igomogul is the only ones with access to what is added or removed from it. The
website becomes worthless to both parties.
Igomogul knows the odds are in their favor that they will not have to refund any money. Most people have used their credit cards
to pay Igomogul and are accruing interest, hiring a lawyer and the added expense of traveling back and forth to Pheonix is also
beyond their means. Arizona small claims maximum is well below what most people have paid so they will take a loss if they persue
small claims and win. When faced with the options most people cut their losses, give up and go away.
Should you file complaints with the Arizona BBB then Igomogul says that if you sign a different agreement they will release
control to you. If you agree to sign then you forfeit all the money you have paid Igomogul and also agree not to persue any
further legal action against Igomogul. Why should you sign an agreement to take control of something that Igomogul was paid to create
for you and register ownership for you in your name?
Igomogul claims that the Statement of Work protects them from lawsuits and being forced to give you a refund. If you read the SOW
crefully youwill notice that it says they are working on a website for the client. Since Igomogul owns and controls the website
they are their own client and they are using your money to develop and design a website for themselves.
When push comes to shove and you demand verification of anything via email or mail Igomogul refuses, they insist all conversations
take place over the phone. If you should call them and you refuse to accept what they tell you they then begin playing a phone
shell game with you, transferring you from one person to the next until you give up. They want to play he said she said phone tag
so that you do not have any proof as to what was said over the phone.
