Product: At Home Income Package
Overall Ranking: 5 out of 100 or 0.25/5 stars
Price: $97

At Home Income Package (AHIP) want us to believe that they are helping people all over the world to make up to $379 per week. The truth is this website wants to make money and it’s the newcomers who are searching for ways to make money online who will pay the price.
This review is in fact 2 reviews in one: At Home Income Package and Online Income Solution
As you can see both sites have an identical sales page, everything is the same except the price.
Even the testimonials are from the same fictitious people.
What is At Home Income Package?
AHIP is a program where they will teach you how to make money online. You are expected to sign up for the program without really knowing what you will be doing or what is involved. You see some fake testimonials saying it’s possible to earn more than $300 per week and that’s about it.
However, they do explain what you will not be doing.
When you see a program that doesn’t explain how you will be making your money, promises good earnings with very little work you can be sure it’s a scam.
To avoid these scams always do your research before giving your credit card details.
Who is it for?
The At Home Income Package is aimed at anyone who wants to work from home and make some money.
Of course, if you sign up for this program the only people who will earn any money are the owners.
How does it work?
You are told that if you can drive traffic to some of the 10,000’s of companies that sell products or services online you can earn a commission. In other words, you will be doing affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is when a business rewards an affiliate for bringing customers to their website. The customers must complete a purchase before the affiliate earns any commission.
At Home Income Package say they will teach all you need to know to get started in this lucrative market.
Another misleading statement on their sales pages says “you can start making money today” This is clearly not possible. Affiliate marketing isn’t simple, it’s a lot of work and can take a long time before you may have any sales and commissions.
Red Flags
On the At Home Income Package, there are a number of warning signs that should raise red flags.
- you are not told how you will be earning money
- use of trusted company logos to instill confidence – there is a disclaimer in very small print, in a color that is difficult to read saying that they are not endorsed by the brands shown on the website
- non-clickable security seals (VeriSign & MacFee) – these are worthless
- voted No.1 by many top publications – clearly false
- a screenshot of a member’s earnings – many scam sites use this strategy
- free 1 on 1 training – if it’s true this could be good but can be used to pressure you into buying another product
- they give you the impression that there only a few limited places available
- discounted price – yet another sales tactic to make you think you are getting a great deal
- complicated refund policy
- fabricated testimonials
If you are new to seeking an income online and you see a company using these tactics steer clear.
What does Scamadviser say?
I checked on scamadviser.com and this is part of their information on AHIP. As you can see this confirms all the other scam warnings.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- The only positive point is the 60-day money back guarantee (even that isn’t straightforward see more below)
Cons
- False promises of earnings
- High-pressure sales tactics
- You have very little idea of what you will be doing before you sign up
- No or very little support
- Plus all the other red flags noted above
Tools and training
These are the tools and training you allegedly receive.
Free 1 on 1 training sounds good but beware. They might use this to pressure you into signing up for yet another scam. If you think they are just after you money hang up. Here’s an article from the FTC about online business coaching scams.
Automated money making website – if these exist please let me know I would love to try one.
Support
If you need help you can send them an email, but probably will never get an answer.
How much does it cost?
The program costs a one-off payment of $97, which considering what you are getting isn’t cheap. It is possible to find genuine programs that are ready to give you a free trial.
Refund policy
Even the refund policy isn’t completely clear. At Home Income Package offers the ClickSure 60-day money back guarantee.
Nonetheless, there are a few conditions you need to meet:
- you must have been in contact with their support team asking for assistance if required
- submitted your refund request within 60 days after your purchase
- you must provide a valid reason for making your refund request within 60 days of purchase
With a good refund policy, you shouldn’t have to give any reason.
As far as I can see if you are not happy with the program you should cancel within 5 days to be sure to get your money back. They don’t actually debit your credit card until 5 days after your purchase. AHIP says this is to allow you time to receive and have a good look through the product. If you are not happy and you cancel within 5 days your card will not be charged. Should you cancel after 5 days you will have to go through the refund process.
My final opinion
After reading this review you should be in no doubt that At Home Income Package is a scam along with the other program Online Income Solution. They can’t even be bothered to make two different sales pages. More or less everything is fake or false: fake testimonials, fake endorsements, false earning statements and a misleading guarantee.
Make sure you stay well away from these products.
If you are new to internet marketing you must never trust any product that tells you that you are going to make money easily and with very little effort. These are typical promises that appeal to our human nature, don’t believe them they are just not true. Earning money online takes time and hard work.
Nonetheless, there are some genuine programs where it is possible to get some good reliable training and learn how to earn money online. Although these programs are quite rare, my #1 recommendation Wealthy Affiliate teaches you honest procedures to build an internet marketing business. You receive step by step training that is easy to follow and you can even get started with a free trial.
Verdict: Scam
Below is a comparison chart showing what Wealthy Affiliate offers in contrast to what is offered from At Home Income Package.
I hope you have enjoyed this review and if you have any experience with At Home Income Package it would be good to have your comments.
Stay scam free,

Peter,
Thanks for your review and insight. Question, how is it they use many celebrities, pictures included, as people who recommend and support these scams?
It would really be interesting and useful, if these celebrities, like the recent Shark Tank group, world come out and make a public announcement about them not endorsing these scams!
Hi Tom,
Many use stock photos and I suppose they could use celebrities, as long as the photos were free for public use, although I can’t remember seeing any. On the other hand, I have seen advertorials using celebrities, I even came across one using Donald Trump before he was president. I completely agree it would be good if they could come out and make an announcement that they don’t endorse these scams.
Thanks for your visit,
Peter
Hi Peter,
I just finished reading your At Home Income Package review and you have done a great job pointing out why this program is not legit, but yet another scam. Excellent detective skills you have my friend.
These types of programs catch the unsuspecting newbies to the online world and I think you’re going to help a lot of people out there avoid this type of racket.
Incredible job on finding the comparison between At Home Income Package and Online Income Solution. How stupid do they think people are that they won’t catch bogus testimonials and duplicate websites.
Great job as always Peter, thanks for sharing your insights into the At Home Income Package scam program.
Cheers,
Todd
Hi Todd,
I agree with you it’s the newbies who will lose money with programs like these. Hopefully after reading reviews like this they will know the signs to look out for to avoid the scams.
This lot seem to have become complacent or lazy and haven’t even bothered to make a two sites for the two different programs, they just changed the name!
Many thanks again for your comments.
Peter
Ugh…this is the dumbest and laziest scam (sorry for the language) I have seen so far. Tweaking the content of two identical websites is not a smart thing to do. The internet is a pretty small place and when you get two sites sitting side-by-side like that, you are just exposing all your lies.
They don’t even put in the effort to make things look more attractive from one another. Not the most skillful scam artist out there, I guess. This is so hilarious.
Hi Cathy,
Thanks for your visit. Yes I was surprised when I came across the two identical sites. When we see them together it’s easy to see they are both scams, they certainly haven’t gone to much effort to camouflage the obvious rip-off. Having said that someone looking to make money online for the first time could be taken in and if we can stop that so much the better.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for highlighting this. Generally, I stay away from these types of things, especially when I have no idea of what I would be doing to make money online. You are right, once that’s the case, it is definitely something to stay far away from. Besides, I like the option that I already have and that is Wealthy Affiliate. For the get go you know exactly what you’re getting involved in and you get the chance to explore the opportunity for free. What could be better than that?
Hi Vanessa,
At Home Income Package is clearly a scam from almost the first moment you see the sales page. However some folks looking for money making from home opportunities for the first time might think this is a good program. If we can warn them of the dangers with this and the many other dishonest programs online we can save them some money.
Wealthy Affiliate is definitely a much better option and as you say the free trail is awesome.
Thanks for your comment, Peter
