ProcessAtHome.com Throws in the Towel
A month ago, we alerted you to one of the most egregious work-at-home sites we've yet to run across, Angel Stevens' ProcessAtHome.com.
We happened to visit her site today while researching another one, and instead of being greeting by Angel's smarmy video pitch, found the site gone, replaced by an open letter explaining why ProcessAtHome.com was forced to close down.
The letter, signed by the "The Process At Home Team," (what happened to Angel?), explains that ProcessAtHome was simply a victim of its own success.
In short, they claim their "pioneering" affiliate marketing model was so successful it "attracted the attention of unscrupulous people who sought to take advantage of our success by creating 'copy cat' websites. . . and in the process, defrauded hundreds, if not thousands of people."
The letter goes on to say that despite hiring attorneys and sending cease and desist letters to prevent these other sites from ruining their brand, they decided to abandon ship. "Accordingly, ProcessAtHome will no longer be accepting new members. We will, of course, continue servicing our current members for the complete duration of their membership."
While ProcessAtHome.com may indeed have been copied by other sites looking to cash in on their dubious success, the site we reviewed was no "copycat," and resided at the exact same URL as the open letter. In fact, we suspect their decision to shut down had something to do with the 422 complaints to the Better Business Bureau, which gave ProcessAtHome.com an "F".
