The Rebate Processing Scam

Rebate processing scams are quickly gaining reputations as the new data entry scams ( more info on data entry scams here ). Why are the rebate processor sites being compared to the data entry scams of a few years back? Let's start by looking at what the rebate ads have to offer.

What do rebate processing opportunities claim

Not surprisingly, rebate processing sites claim you can bring in some really high dollar amounts for minimal amounts of work. “How much for how little?” you ask. It isn't hard to find a rebate scam ad that will claim you can easily hit over $100 an hour.

The explanation behind the executive-like compensation is that processors are a critical part to companies that offer rebates. Because offering rebates increases sales so much with these companies, they can afford to pay high-dollar processors (supposedly like ourselves) to handle the rebates for them.

How you supposedly earn that money

The way the rebate processing ads describe it, program enrollees earn their wages by filling out forms for companies who offer rebates. Then, for each form a person completes, he or she will be paid. The amount paid is, as mentioned above, typically pretty steep for the amount of work completed.

From what the ads show (show being the key word) you receive information regarding the person receiving the rebate. This will include: name, email, rebate amount, etc... Processors take the information they receive, put it into a form, submit it, and they're finished.

Sounds simple enough. But before, we go on to explaining what's really happening inside a rebate processing program, let's first make...

Comparisons with Data Entry Scams (External: What We See)

Without yet going into how the operations of the old data entry programs and the new rebate processing programs compare, let's just look at the two from the outside.

Earnings and Work Hours
Both methods are very similar here. Enrollees earn lots of money for very little work. The appeal here is obvious, and I would wager that it is the lynchpin to both programs' successes. After all, who wouldn't want to make a hundred dollars an hour?

Work Involved
Forms, forms, and more forms. Both of these WAH opportunities rely, or so they claim, on participants filling out and submitting forms. Few things in life are easier. Point, click, type, repeat until rich.

Misc. Appeals
Both program types (as well as most WAH opportunities) have very similar hooks. They typically include:
No boss
Flexible schedule
Work anywhere
Financial freedom
Earn as much/little as you want
Work as much/little as you want

At a cursory glance, some similarities can be seen, but we shouldn't stop there. Let's take a look inside (what we get) of a rebate processing scam.
