Home Income Profit System (Home Income Wealth System) Reviews – Legit or Scam?

2 Upvotes

The Home Income Profit System (recently renamed The Home Income Wealth System) is a now notorious internet scheme that claims to help you make money from home. Their make money kit is often promoted through the use of fake newspaper articles and other unscrupulous means. You may have seen “news articles” talking about a Kelly Richards (who incidentally lives in your area) and how much money she made working online. If you look at the article more carefully you’ll see that it’s nothing but a farce, closely resembling what real news sites commonly look like. It comes as no surprise to me that Home Income Wealth System is almost a direct copy of previous make money online scams called Home Income Profit System, Home Income Black, and BlackBelt Profit System among others. This sort of tactic is often used by experienced online scammers… When the customer complaints start piling up they simply give it a new name, move some graphics around, and start over fresh. This process goes on and on while they continue to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars from unsuspecting customers.

~13" slim laptop, preferably with a decent SSD (not a macbook air)

2 Upvotes

I've been in the market for a new laptop for about a year now, and I came within minutes of purchasing a Macbook Air and due to a massive fuckup at my local apple store by several of their staff I didn't buy. I will not be buying a macbook air now purely out of principle of how I was treated by Apple.

So my requirements:

  • As slim, or almost as slim as the Macbook Air

  • Around 13" screen (11" is too small, 15" is too big)

  • Good performance, I'll be running it as a development machine mainly to do work on the go.

  • Not going to be used for gaming, but should be able to play HD content without an issue.

  • SSD as the performance is great

  • Needs to be available for purchase today, and in the UK (or ships to Finland)

I've had a look at a few of the one's listed on wikipedia today but nothing really caught my eye. The only thing that so far has interested me is the Series 9, but it's a really expensive piece of kit :(

BURGERS SMOKEHOUSE - MAIL ORDER MEAT - HORRIBLE REVIEW!

0 Upvotes

They sent me $200 of warm thawed out meat and refuse to refund me and make it right! BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM AND GET IT SHIPPED TO YOU PLEASE READ THIS WARNING!

I ordered over $200 worth of ham, ribs, pulled pork, and pork chops and they sent me warm thawed out meat that was not cold at all! And that is just the start of dealing with this terrible company.

I contacted them the same day and told them of the problem. Their response is crazy! They told me to go ahead and eat the warm meat because it was smoked meat. I googled how long can smoked meat sit at room temperature and it said 2 hours on every site. I am not going to feed my pregnant wife and 2 kids rotten meat.

Then it gets even crazier. I reminded them that every piece of meat they sell says 2 things on them. They say "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Keep Refrigerated or Frozen." After telling Tiffany that she told me that she was going to have UPS come and collect the order for return and credit my account with a refund in the mean time.

Fast forward 6 days later. I emailed them back and asked them what the status of doing that was. They told me that UPS had come to collect it and it wasnt available for pickup. The boxes were taped back up and sitting on my porch all week and UPS NEVER came to my house. I ask them for the tracking number to prove they actually paid for UPS to come and get it and they refuse. Thats because they are flat out lying.

They are now telling me that since they already "tried to collect it" I can take up getting a refund with my bank and dispute the charge. THEY ABSOLUTELY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR GUARANTEE AND ARE FALSELY ADVERTISING THAT THEY WILL!

Here is their guarantee copied and pasted and tell me if you think it sounds like they "Guarantee their products."

GUARANTEE

Making A Promise To You:

Here at the Smokehouse, we continue to work hard on keeping the Quality of Products, and should you ever have a problem, we promise prompt, fair and equitable treatment. We've sold Smokehouse meats for over 60 years and know and appreciate the importance of having a satisfied customer!

If for some reason you are not satisfied with your products, please notify our Customer Service Department at 800-705-2323 to discuss a possible refund or replacement of product of equal or greater value.

AVOID THIS TERRIBLE BUSINESS AT ALL COST! If you want a great recommendation of a company that sells quality meat and has great customer service try Nueske's. They are amazing!

Here is a link to my review online to see the pictures of the spoiled meat!

[request] Baby Monitor

My wife and I are expecting our first child (a boy!) in a little over a month. What kind of baby monitor should we get? I've seen everything from the basic Tx/Rx two piece radio systems to the fancy video monitors with dedicated handheld screens. What's worthwhile? I have a pretty solid wireless network and my wife and I both have iPhones, if that comes into play at all. Thanks in advance!

Are their $5-600 sofas worth the money?

Compared to other places where sofas start from $1000+, are they worth renting a UHAUL for and carrying myself, and how does their quality stand up to other upholstered sofas?

[Request] Black Macbook

I think my friend owns this model of the Black Macbooks and is willing to sell it to me. However I don't want to low-ball her and even after looking on Kijiji I could not find a similar model to offer an appropriate price. I'd also like to know if it's still worth paying that amount for a weaker computer. Any help or advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

If I don't provide you with sufficient thanks please understand I'm coming out of a four month vacation completely brain-dead and incapable of forming sentences.

[request] a good wired (!) QWERTY keyboard... that can be shipped to France

4 Upvotes

It will mainly be used to code.
Preferably an IBM 101-like layout (numpad is mandatory), mechanical. Black would be better but I don't mind if it is white/grey.
My school has some keytronic that are slightly different from this one and they are great to use but I would like to know about some others models.
This would be perfect but I'm looking for something.. cheaper.

Budget is ~30EUR ~= 40.83300 U.S. dollars

[Request] Affordable Outdoor h264 IP Camera

0 Upvotes

Looking for some outdoor security cameras for my house.

Hard requirements:

  • CCTV might be cheap but I'd like to keep everything IP-based.

  • Additionally, a direct h.264 feed wins over mjpeg especially since I'd just be recompressing mjpeg to h.264 anyways

  • Cheap enough that I don't need to blow a whole paycheck on 4 or 5 units.

As for other features, wireless is nice but not an absolute necessity; I'm capable and willing to run CAT6 to each location. And on that note PoE would make things easier but isn't something I'd pay too much extra for.

Poking around Google and Amazon I can find apparent-quality in $500+ units and I can find a glut of cheap Foscam crap which I can't even tell if it works at all much less if it will last.

Thanks Reddit!

[Review] Tour Thor 909 Inline Hockey Skates

0 Upvotes

TL/DR: Do not buy Tour skates. Skates I got were defective (Image Gallery). Emailed manufacturer, they ignored me. Amazon returned them for a full refund.


I purchased these to replace my 11 year old rec-skates. I recently joined a beginners inline hockey team and decided it was time for some new skates. I didn't want to spend too much money as it was my first time playing organized hockey. I figure if I stick with it, in a couple years I'll drop 200-300 on some high quality skates.

Anyways, I'd heard that skates tend to be measured in Canadian sizes and if you try to get the same size skate as your American shoe size, the skates would be too big. I usually wear an 11.5 so I decided to go with an 11. I got them a couple days later from Amazon and they were way too big. I sent them back and ordered a pair of size 9's. They were a bit tight but serviceable. I wish the company would put a notice on Amazon about the sizing differences.

After I got them, our team had an impromptu practice and I decided to take them out and see if I liked them. I immediately noticed something wasn't right but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. They were brand new, but I felt like I was learning to skate for the first time. They weren't doing anything I wanted them to do. I had no power and kept losing my balance (though not falling).

After an hour of practice I realized that every time I attempted to push off with my left foot, instead of the skate going out, away from my body, it was cutting back in towards my body. This was causing me to push off with the outside of the wheels, losing significant power. I also noticed that the muscles on the outside of my shins were throbbing and my knee was getting sore. I looked at the skates a bit but still couldn't tell exactly what was wrong. I took them off and played the rest of practice on shoes.

Later that evening, I threw on some old pre-worn outdoor wheels and skate around my neighborhood to see if that would help. I was only able to make it about a half a mile before my legs hurt so bad I couldn't continue. The entire time, the left skate was cutting in towards my body instead of pushing out. I had to take the skates off and walk home in my socks.

When I got home I noticed that the wheels, which had previously been worn down on the inside edge only, were showing major wear on the outside. This is not normal.

A couple weeks after this, I finally got around to taking the skates into the local hockey pro-shop to see if they knew what could be the problem. My first thought was maybe the boots were too stiff and once they were broken in, they would bend properly and allow the skates to push away from my body. The clerk at the store looked at them and told me that they were not heat-moldable. He asked what was going on with them and I explained the issue with the left skate.

I showed him the wear on the outside of the wheels and he asked when I'd rotated them. I stared at him for a second before he said "Oh... you haven't rotated these have you?" I said "nope" and his response was "uh... holy shit!".

Once he realized how bad the wear on the outside of the wheels was, he immediately recognized the problem that, up until then, neither of us had seen.

I took pictures of the skates before I sent them back, including my 11-year old skates. This should pretty accurately depict the problem: Image gallery.

The skate rails are completely bent in the wrong direction. I emailed the manufacturer and explained the situation. 5 days later and I still have not heard back. I spoke to Amazon Support and they are going to let me return them again despite the fact that I've used them already.

I'll be going with a different brand in the future due to the crappy support of the manufacturer (Tour).

Team Fortress 2

0 Upvotes

Amazing!

I know, I know, it's free, but that just makes it better, right?

Most people probably have Team Fortress 2 already, but for those who don't, let me explain.

It's a first person shooter that is unlike any of the other carbon copy FPS's out there. The art style looks like a combination of Pixar's The Incredibles/ something made by Norman Rockwell. There are 9 classes, each having their own purpose. I'll give a quick synopsis of them.

Scout - Scatter guns, fast and good at flanking, low health though.

Solider - Shoots rockets and is pretty slow, and pretty good health. Easy to use, hard to master.

Pyro - Flamethrower, decent speed, can be one of the best team members in the right hands, has ability to throw projectiles back, put people who are on fire out, completely mess up ubers.

Demo - Blowing things up/or good melee(seems weird since he is a demo). Decent health and OK speed. You can set sticky traps.

Heavy - Huge amount of heath, and very slow. If you get close to someone with your minigun and have it spinning, they will pretty much die, it rips right through them.

Engie - Build teleporters, sentries, and dispensers. Low health and ok speed. Great support class. When building your telly, please press mouse2 and not make it face the wall.

Medic - Backbone of the team. Heals people, saves lives. Decent health and decent speed. A good medic can completely make the team.

Sniper - Low health and ok speed. Once again, if you are good with your aim, you will be a great credit to the team, if not, please go something else.

Spy - Low health, decent speed. Can get behind enemy lines with ease, has a one hit kill move if you backstab people.

Many different game modes and tons of Maps. The community has been very active since 2007. New updates all the time, and tons of weapons.

I've found that most people in this game don't care about points, normally they just want to work together to achieve winning, hence the name of the game.

I'm not going to keep typing because there are thousands of reviews better than this, but I do encourage you to check it out, since it is free after all.

Most importantly, HATS!
