iPAS2 Scam? Yes It Is In My Opinion!
In my opinion, the Empower Network is one of the most abusive scams I have run into. For example, David Wood the owner tells people “I punch wussies in the face.“. Wussies are people that do not invest over $5000 in his scam business opportunity. When my subscribers recommended I take a look into iPAS2, a giant red flag was raised when I found out iPAS2 was linked with the Empower Network. Here is my review of iPAS2.

The iPAS2 system is a sales funnel attached to the Empower Network sales funnel. The primary purpose of the Empower Network is to sell the Empower Network packages. By iPAS attaching their own sales funnel to the Empower Network, they are telling you that they do not believe that the Empower Network is effective at selling their own packages. The simple question is why are you selling the Empower Network if it is not effective?
Here is what Frank Kern had to say about the Empower Network and iPAS2:
Get rich quick by joining an MLM that sells you the opportunity to get rich quick by selling the opportunity to get rich quick via selling get rich quick info-products. That’s what it looks like on the surface …to me anyway …and I want nothing to do with it.
If people want to sell it – that’s their business – but using my likeness to do so is misleading .
I do not even remotely support this or have anything to do with it.
That’s not the side of the law that I want to be on.
I am not a big fan of Frank Kern, but his comment was priceless.
In the original iPAS video, they explain how you will go broke if you sell things that do not offer an 80% commission. When iPAS2 rolled out, they offer you a 50-70% commission on their products. They do not follow their own guidance on what commission level you should be paid to not go broke.
In my opinion, all you have to do is look at their FAQ and income disclosure to see that their claim of “All risk of failure has been annihilated!” is deceptive.

Compensation Plan
iPAS2 Compensation Plan
Currently, all Empower Network products operate on a “dynamic powerline” system, where the 1st, 3rd and 5th and then every 5th sale thereafter of every product passes to the qualifying sponsor, and you keep the commissions on the purchase and ongoing commissions on all other personal sales on products you qualify for. – Source Empower Network Compensation Plan
Income Disclosure
“Folks – obviously, the income examples shown are extraordinary. The income claims presented are not intended to serve as a guarantee of income. Instead, they’re designed to give you an idea of what’s possible.
Success in this business – as with anything, requires leadership, hard work and dedication.” – Source iPAS2 Income Disclosure
95% of people make under $3,792 per year.
Less than 4% earn sufficient commissions to cover the costs of the Empower Network products. – Source Empower Network Income Disclosure
Not all multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. If the money you make is based on the number of people you recruit and your sales to them, it’s not. It’s a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal, and the vast majority of participants lose money. – Source FTC
“I have seen a deaf man onstage make $1000 per day.” – David Sharpe
In my opinion, the Empower Network will say anything to get your money.
Refund Policy
If you purchase the products recommended by iPAS2 and wait 30 days, you will end up unable to get a refund for any of the Empower Network products.
Refund Policy iPAS2
There is a strict 30-day return policy.

The online business didn’t work for me. It seemed like iPas2 took my money and didn’t solve any thing, but they did cause me to put the only money I had left into there company. I wouldn’t recommend this business to any person that ain’t a millionaire!
Heather Topping January 8 2015
It happened to me too, but then they took 2 payments out of my account even though i am not using the system.
Aiden Uribe January 9 2015
Same here! at first i was like “this seems legit! then its like oh! you have to pay for this product now….then oh you have to pay 3000 bucks for my lesson! so i canceled! only to find out they billed me today! fuckin scam!
iPAS2 Scam Conclusion
In my opinion, iPAS2 does nothing other than charge you to sell a business opportunity that sells a business opportunity that offers business opportunity marketing information. This is a scam on a scam. There are basically NO retail customers. Each individual who profits, does so primarily from the payments of others who are themselves making payments in order to obtain their own profit. Avoid the iPAS2 scam.
I asked for refund they never gave it to me and did so within time frame they ripped me a homeless disabled person off

🙂

Good going, Nathan I pass on your news letter to any one I know doing Internet marketing!
loading...
Thank you!
loading...
Haven’t heard from these guys lately. Not sure what they are currently up to
loading...
The last thing I heard is they are making iPAS2 an official part of the Empower Network.
loading...
Thanks for posting this. I had never heard of this company until I just received an email saying my credit card was charged $119. There was no mention of a company name and I certainly haven’t purchased anything of that amount and would never purchase some ridiculous MLM promise. When I tried to research everything lead back some iPas2 website. Filing complaints now.
loading...
They can be very sneaky and they use different names for the websites that represent them.
loading...
hello,
well what really turned me off of Ipas2 was when you sign up you sit through about 6 hours of up sell videos with no real training until you give them a lot of money to even see the plan and you start to realize that this is going to really cost 3,000 plus to get started. The whole process made me feel like I was being nickle and dimed to death. To sit through all of that made me really angry and I thought do I want my name attached to something that is going to make people angry and make them feel like a fool? My answer is no, I want to build a business that I can be proud of not one that is shamefully exploitative.
loading...
I hope more people will have the same desire as you to build a business that they can be proud of. Good business does not make you feel like you have been exploited.
loading...
Ipas2 has a similar concept to MTTB. .

Hey just wish I found you earlier I payed $5000 for this crap made 5 sales from December 2014 to date then after one mouth all my 5 members ouit because there could not see the light at end of tunnel so today I will quit ipas2 and never join mlm systrem again oh and thanks for the video like I said just wish I found you back in December 2014 thanks again

You are very welcome.

Excellent article, I contacted their support team with a massive email to find out more about their product and what they guarantee about it. I told them all the issues I had with systems like these, and just wanted them to tell me what it was all about. The next day I get a reply. “Sign up and we’ll sort it out”, that was it. Glad I found this page, saved me my $47.
Thanks
loading...
I am glad I could help you. Have a great week.
loading...
You failed to mention the 100’s of positive comments on the Facebook page. Your review is BS just like all your other reviews. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it a scam. How the fuck can something be a scam when it has a refund guarantee? And I know for a FACT that they honour this as I see the refunds in my back-office when they are issued. – You don’t like the business that’s perfectly fine, that’s your OPINION, your opinion doesn’t make something a SCAM. They should sue you.
loading...
I’m From Brazil and I almost fell this scam, honestly have to pay for something that I do not offer any product and still requires me to have to disclose to achieve profit having to recruit new people, that’s just think we’re suckers .
This IPAS 2 is simply a pyramid scheme (ponzi) very well disguised, where only the winner will put more people on the “supposed lucrative business.”
Thanks to the owner of this site for the clarity of the information, made me save thousands of dollars and still allowed me to safeguard the information from my credit card.
A big hug!
Sincerely Yours
Rodrigo Porto.

Anyone can setup a facebook page or group, limit it’s audience and make and tell lies about something, some product or some person, It’s the internet world, these people pray on the desperate the needy and the week people on the globe and take what little they have left. I knew something was not right when i could not comment on the youtube videos they have made. what i did find tho where more bloggers and commenters discussing their bad experiences with this “system”. I fully agree, i may not call it a scam, because they are selling a product, weather that product is a real product should be the vital question. I have seen so many of these make money online systems so many of them take you through a journey of setting up your own website, paying for the advertisement of that website ect and then sell the main websites information. from what i have seen with my own eyes it is network marketing at its finest, and when i say that i mean pyramid scheme renamed!! From reading your comments a few times JC, i noted that you are convinced about the “system” and you state that you witness the refunds in “your back office” this tells me that you are obviously one of the creators of the “system” or some one employed by the creators of this system so of course you would want to shoot some one down for exposing the “system” for what it really is because it would be damaging to your way of life that has been created by the “system”. this idea is not new, its old, very very old, old to the point its almost exhausted. to the readers at home, if you want a real work from home idea, try selling avon, kirby or reselling voip services. working from home is not rocket science. there should be a world wide investigation on all of these get rich quick and working from home “systems”

Not his review but your language in your response has made me not want to join your business. Maybe you should think your remarks out before typing.

Glad to read this post, I am sick of the spam emails from ipas2 marketers, and got a few in my inbox, I continue to weed them out, They teach their marketers to advertise on CraigsList, And I have seen a huge amount of these scam spam ads all over the world on Craigslist, It is really sad too, I got into En back in 2011, I was a total newbie and they said- (dave & dave with EN) that in order to have a blog, You had to pay for one and They were doing us a favor by providing us the EN blog platform, and I signed up under some dude that was a internet marketer that put ads on Craigslist, I was really looking for a job, and boy was I dumb,Blogs are free, You can get a blogger blog with free hosting, I found this out later though. Joel Therion (scammer) also has a concept/platform like en, In my opinion yes ipas is a scam!
loading...
It is very sad what these scammers do to new people. They take a huge amount of money from people that have no idea what is going on.

Scamception
loading...
It’s so disgusting that these people are still bullying others to buy their products. I really hope that these people really get prosecuted soon.
loading...
I look forward to the shutdown of the Empower Network.
loading...
Me too, I also look forward the shutdown of DS domination too.
loading...
Why ds domination. I joined about a month ago and have made sales already. It’s actually one of the only things that have worked for me except for a little success as an amazon affiliate. I’m curious about your experience with dsd please elaborate.
loading...
DS started charging me,because I clicked on a link to see what the program was about.
Months later, when I decided to join I noticed a problem with my bill.
When I brought it to their attention, the response was, they would not correct it, because I clicked on their link and never paid them. I immediately shut down my account. That’s not how you do business.
Furthe more, the lessons were filed with this old man, having his first child. That’s nice but not what I’m paying for. People are there for what they paid for, not his ability to reproduce at 50.

Pizza Boy Millionaire is a site set up by Prosperity Team, LLC to promote Empower.
The basic recruitment scheme I’ve seen for IPAS2 is the old “I got paid” tactic, which of course has nothing to do with whether or not something’s a scam.
loading...
It seems that all of these marketers went to the same school. The Pizza Boy Millionaire just makes me laugh.
loading...
Yes and they should all go to the same jail for exploiting people.
loading...
In this world scammers are heros and good people are villains.
loading...
I remember being at those ACN meetings in nyc and witnessing the Maser brothers being worshipped. Flat out disgusting to think about now.
