Really becoming curioser and curioser as to how these work. One thing’s for sure, though, the testimonials are definitely fake. Unless Ahmad Jufri recently changed his name to Johnathan Chua, or the other way round. Or unless you really have two different Rosie Ng staying at Clementi and JB at the same time, and signing up two “different” plans, and writing out exactly the same stuff. Now what are the odds?

So many money to earn meh? cant use your Brain think also can use your ASS to THINK!

February 12, 2008 at 6:54 am |
It’s amazing that some people just cannot read things properly. (actually i’m guilty of that sometimes too)
I didn’t say the above sites are REAL! I was comparing the testimonials and concluded that the above sites are FAKE! Goodness…
February 13, 2008 at 12:31 pm |
I was once like any people wanting to earn that extra bucks while working at home.
So one day, I saw this website at http://www.sgmillionprofits.com telling people on how to earn big bucks in a short period of time with just one time payment.
So I did join in with all the promises telling me that there will be step-by-step guide that will be given by Irene Lim on how to earn big bucks.
Instead what I get from her is a very poor response & informing you to place the ad in Google Adwords.
What I understand in placing Google Adwords, you would have to place a sum of money before your advertisement can be advertised in the internet.
From the day I join till today, I didn’t earn a single cent as from what she describes beautifully in her website & also no response from her.
So viewers, pls do a detail study on any website before joining any internet marketing especially on this one as this is one of those scam.
This also applies to other websites like this eg. netcashsg.com, simplyrichsg.com.
February 13, 2008 at 5:15 pm |
For the record, according to some forums there are evidences which seem to point out that the so-called “Irene Lim” is actually a group of guys. Seems like nothing claimed by the website is real. So yea, do watch out for sites like these, esp. when they use “testimonials” of local people to suck you in.
February 28, 2008 at 2:57 pm |
ALL I CAN SAY IS FUCK U GUYS WHO PRETEND TO BE IRENE LIM
February 29, 2008 at 2:16 am |
Hello everybody. There is another called QSTR This is also another one that people have to be careful. They entice you to pay upfront $45.00 supposedly to receive some initial training brochure and DVDs.
When I paid them, I received the brochures and 2 DVDs alright. But they contained only testimonials and more testimonials, and showing off their many seminars and meetings, and promoting some kind of health products which they dont even mention yet in these brochures and DVDs.
I am sure we can attend such seminars in Singapore for FREE when these companies organise promotional talks to recruit people.
So do not get conned by QSTR. Its another bullshit internet site.
September 1, 2008 at 7:50 am |
Zero response from her, or whoever they are. Just some auto replies to you that do not answer even simple queries. I got nowhere. Don’t get into this at all.
October 18, 2008 at 10:49 am |
hi everyone.. i too signed up for this programme. Doesnt work for me and as always NO REPLY from Irene !
Good news is … I GET MY MONEY BACK!
It occurred to me that payment was made direct to Clickbank and not to Irene.
What you have to do is go back to CLICKBANK webbie, contact the customer service under CONTACT US and request for refund. You have to provide the INVOICE NUMBER that was given to you when you make paypal payment when you make the purchase of this programme.
Go back to your paypal history record and you should see the invoice number.
Remember to indicate the website you sign up from eg http://www.simplyrichsg.com and inform them that it has an 8 weeks money back guarantee.
Good Luck on your refunds !!

Hey, cant we report persons like Irene Lim and the others to CASE?
December 15, 2008 at 12:49 am |
Wow, I’m so glad that I’ve come across this blog and a couple more like Adam Wong’s. I just bought Irene Lim’s simplyrichsg ebooks. Just got the FREE Website from her. I haven’t gone into paying for Google Adsense yet. I’ve learnt a couple of thinhs from Internet Gurus like Ewen Chia & Patrick Chan but haven’t gotten to put them to use yet. Anyways, I think I want to crack down on this ’syndicate’ of Aunty Irene & the Gang. Hopefully, CASE can look into it.
January 7, 2009 at 3:33 am |
Hmm.. lucky thing I did a search for “Irene Lim” at Google and saw this website. I was thinking how can anything be so easy.
I guess the http://www.secrets-book.com is another scam cheating site except that it looks like the real thing?
They have the same testimonies lor…
Thanks Stan!
Ciao
February 9, 2009 at 4:42 pm |
Yea its a good thing that i chanced upon this website coz i was sceptical of this IRENE LIM from Simplyrichsg.com I hope that people will be more careful of such scams. Luckily my parents do not use internet, who knows how much money they might have been conned into!

I got this free offer from Adam Khoo Learning Technologies.
You can join his affiliate programs for free.
http://www.patterns-of-excellence.com/affiliates.html
Why must we pay so-called affiliate programmers to sell their products worldwide? But the good question is why should Adam Khoo needs more affiliate members to sell his products when he is filthy rich, nay, wealthy?
One idea makes you rich, one dozen ideas will make you even richer.
This could be it. Some affiliate programmers may let you join them for free to make you a sucker in later stages whilst some affiliate programmers like Adam Khoo may be planning to build himself a business empire with more deployments of “affiliate soldiers” worldwide to conquer the world of “affiliate enemies” who are out to deceive idiots and newbies. I told Stuart Tan and other true businessmen in blogs that it was not necessarily that genuine online businessmen would suffer negative repercussions due to scammers worldwide but their unethical acts would definitely increase the levels of their integrity and credibility in online business worldwide as day goes by.
I wish to join Adam Khoo very soon to assist him in doing so. He has a real physical company existing in Singapore and his website has a company address registered under Registry of Companies & Businesses in Singapore. Check it out with RCB first to ensure that he is a genuine businessman approved by our Singapore Government before you need to join him in homebased business. The scammers worldwide will soon go down to gutters as in bowling games when internet millionaires like Adam Khoo, Adam Wong and Stuart Tan may rise in power with their levels of integrity & credibility supported by the fast-growing numbers of reliable affiliate members worldwide. This is how internet business should be. Be wary of affiliate programs with too much empty promises. Why not go down to visit the bookshops to check for their genuine updated products and their companies and schools in person?
Take for an instant, simplyrichsg.com has an address in its website but do you all realise its personal address is not in full and its district code is wrong (it should have 6 figures, not 5 figures)? If such a mistake can be made, there must be something very fishy about it all. A picture speaks a thousand words. Why made a simple mistake to prove who you are especially when you are in professional online business? Just email to Irene@simplyrichsg.com to query the site owner and wait for its reply. Let us bet.
All the best to you all!

By the way, I forget to let you all know that you must learn to know how to check with Google Banned checker whether you have used any domain names formerly registered and discarded by offenders, to check whether you might have built your own websites with frames which prevented SEO seeking yours, to check whether somewhere affiliate programmers’ instructions might have missed in working out to attract any visitors at all and to check for so many other things to do before you really earn money online. Do your own website has a static website to see how many visitors visited you each day? Are your affiliate programmers not disclosing your profits for the closed sales you’ve truly made in just one whole month alone? You’d see, you don’t have a cashier machine in your website to know how much you have earned. It is likely for scammers to take advantage of the loopholes here. If you did earn a few dollars sometimes, the profits are possibly always given to you at the discretion of your affiliate programmers, not through their own conscience which genuine online businessmen possess. I heard too many stories of such opportunists.
Please visit Computer Book Centre Pte Ltd in Funan Centre #04-26 to buy this book WEB DESIGN written & updated by Richard Quick if you need to design websites like a pro and he would explain why many websites couldn’t attract visitors and let SEO track you easily. Times Bookshop is selling an updated comprehensive book on Ultimate Homebased Business Handbook written by James Stephenson with Rich Mintzer to help you how to start, run and grow your own profitable business. This particular informative book is a must because it is like a business dictionary for business use, a school dictionary for school use and a medical dictionary for medical use. Without this, you are likened to a hiker lost in a remote area of an unknown country without a compass and a map to guide you back home safely. It also teaches you how to find a wholesaler or a retailer to give you the sole rights for a fixed term to sell their products or services online. This is better than hunting for more reliable affiliate programs through internet that you have never met your bosses in person at all. Both these good books provide you a win-win situation to all business parties involved. Do not keep wasting money on affiliate programs when you are not fully equipped with homebased business knowledge yet. Find a real job full time first before killing yourself with all the false dreams. Do not trust affiliate programmers to give you free websites. What if they are banned by the Authority tomorrow or what if they have kicked the bucket tomorrow? Their free website given to you would either be freezed or disappeared all of a sudden. Did you not hear of such genuine serious incident occurred even to genuine affiliate programs?
That is why you need to buy these suggested updated books to protect yourself in homebased business. Do not lose any sales contacts and personal contacts in your present job because you’d never know they could be your future affiliate sponsors who might enrich your life someday in the near future. Who told you we don’t need to know internet to run affiliate programs at all. Do not let the blind lead the blind. LOL!

Hi James,
I find it’s interesting to read your comment in the Geek Sandbox. These books that you’re recommended is it truly beneficial for us in the internet marketing. I’m new in this field, but I just want to know more of the books that you suggested us to read. The informations that you had is very good,it seems you’re very knowledgeable in this field. What you saying is it true? Got to be more careful.

Hi, I saw Irene website quite awhile ago, and today I almost signed up. I already had my credit card sitting next to me. I did a search on Franklin Jacobs and Cash1234 system came up. It charges only US$12 to signed up instead of the $49.95.
I thought $49.95 was in SGD then when I realized it was US$49.95, I did another search on Irene Lim. that’s where I find this blog. Thank you everyone for sharing!
It’s too good to be true BUT sometimes greed and desperation got us SUCKED into all these scams…
May 6, 2009 at 5:54 pm |
I just join Irene Lim http://www.simplyrichsg.com.
After joining, i had a friend also signup by log in my link http://www.simplyrichsg.com/abc.
But sad to say that when she got my friend email address, she send email to my friend and using her own link in the email, so how secure to become the affiliate and i feel like cheated by Irene Lim
Is there any website to report such a scam
Please Advice and i would like to make an refund..
May 8, 2009 at 5:00 pm |
Hi all,
Damn… I just completed my foolish act in signing up in simplyrichsg!!
Just when my intuitive gut prompted me to search the internet for a clue…
Anyways, I just wrote to ClickBank for a refund staing that I am entitled
for a Full 60 day money back guarantee. Will just wait for their respond.
How can I be so stooopid!!! Such a crock of bull! After re-reading all the testimonies, I became more and more enticed. By the sheer attraction of easy moolah… Now as I am typing, I am so freaking pissed with Irene.
Hope all works well and I can get my refund back.Should anyone wish to contact me personally, Do feel free to contact me via this point of contact.
May 18, 2009 at 1:34 pm |

May 24, 2009 at 6:04 pm |
I am still under a free online course conducted by Eric Holmlund or Eric’s Tips for almost three months. Just click on Google search box for Eric’s Tips and you are prompted to join for free to get his 5 free ebooks instantly. Once you contacted him for free lessons and after the completion of his free courses on online business, you will soon want to buy me a cup of Starbuck Coffee to say thanks to me in person. Eric Holmlund has more than 40 legitimate business websites (if I am not wrong) to run daily and if anyone who wishes to sign up for a web hosting that he is in charged of, one must type “ericstips” in the box of coupon code to get a real big discount. I will soon want to sign his Baby Plan for Hostgator web hosting for USD0.01 for the first month and subsequently on the following month, I will have to pay less than USD10.00. Hostgator is ranked #21 in Inc 5000 List and if you Google search “Hostgator” now, you will be amazed their plans are so affordable and unlike many other web hosting companies making so-called claims, Eric Holmlund assures you that Hostgator web host servers do not crash at all and he is still using it for more than a decade. When you get a free website for your online business there is no guarantee their web hosting company would ensure you that their web hosting servers may not crash, thereby your online business and customers’ online payments which they might have clicked on successfully may be suspended for a long time. Just fancy that your customers may file complaints against you in court for scams you have not committed. Do not join any paid affiliate program which can give you a free website and a subdomain name (hardly they’d give you a main domain) because Eric said so. He is a real qualified online business consultant. I will want to join his legitimate affiliate programs; and also in Singapore, Stuart Tan affiliate programs, Adam Khoo affiliate programs, Lucky Bastard affiliate programs, Edmund Loh affiliate programs and all others who are close business associates to one another. I won’t join other affiliate programs not related to these real internet marketers at all. Hey, Dudes & Chicks! Before you join any free or paid affiliate programs, be very very very patient for the sake of wasting more time in future by regrets, use your brain! use your brain! use brain! Just type in the Google or Yahoo or whatever search box “Is such & such .com/.net/.org/.info/etc.etc.etc. a scam?” and hit enter or click go. From here, you would be shown all the searches and links which you’d need to find out more whether such affiliate programmers, drop shippers like eBay or Amazon and other online businesses are scams. You don’t need to be a degree holder in an university to understand online business. All you need is an asshole to fart it out nicely without anyone around and a common sense to think carefully. The saying More haste less speed is not a lie!
May 24, 2009 at 6:12 pm |
Sorry! Hey, Dudes & Chicks! Before you join any free or paid affiliate programs, be very very very patient for the sake of not wasting more time in future by regrets, use your asshole to think! use your asshole to think! use your asshole to think! if you do not have brainsssssss! Helloooooooooooo! Did you hear that?
May 24, 2009 at 6:28 pm |
Please youngsters! Go and get a decent full-time job and do online business as a part-time one. But it is advisable to attend an online course like Eric’s Tips first or book a seminar’s appointment often advertised in newspapers. Check them out in person to see how the lecturers talk about their products and their prices as well. Do not join them through your own emotional feeling as in churches. Join them with a bit of common sense and if you cannot afford it, just fart it out and go home right away.
June 8, 2009 at 2:00 pm |
Hi, I signed up for the program via Simplyrichsg.com, feeling skeptical. I guess the testimonials did seem convincing which prompted me to sign up. After signing up, I realise that there were no response to email queries, no number to contact and I was prompted to find out more. I then chance upon this forum.
I have written to Clickbank to get a refund. Also through http://whois.domaintools.com/simplyrichsg.com, found out that this website was registered by ‘Irene Lim’ under a US based address.
For those who signed up via http://www.financebloom.com (hosted by ‘Rosalind Tan’ (See http://whois.domaintools.com/financebloom.com), the Singapore registered address is a fake one too.
Seems to me this was not the doing of Singaporeans, but scammers who were shielded behind their computer screen, taking advantage of the money motivated mentality of Singaporeans to make a quick buck.

Internet marketing and market survey scams are pretty common. Wont list names, but pls do some research b4 you purchase anything.
Questions to ask yourself:
1. Why would you get paid?(if u have no business/hobby that ure working on and just wanna attract viewership to your site,chances are u wont get paid.)
2. Do you even know what Internet Marketing is? (go read up more,there are free articles with no hidden agendas)
3. Why is it that all these scam sites link to one another?(obviously made by the same folks)
4. Why the lengthy testimonials on their sites?(its just ‘pitching’,if u fall for it, i guess u deserve it)
5. Notice a familiar pattern in all those sites? (Absolutely,they claim to have secret formulas. must pay to divulge)
Anyway, anything that requires you to pay upfront and has a whole load of BS is most likely a scam..
June 30, 2009 at 10:23 pm |
Hi All
Believe that anyone who came across this link could have already been doped by Irene Lim(simplyrichsg.com)who does nothing but cheated your US49.90 with all of the empty promises of proper guidance personally from HER. Even more frustrated when she keeps sending you old and repeated FAKE testimonials without feeling ‘guilty’ after CHEATING your money. She is a Professional LIAR and CHEAT and able to bullshit so many people into parting the money by publishing her silly auntie look on the internet. May I suggest that those who have been swindled, join forces and come forward and make know to the Straits Times Forum and stop this bloodly scam from hurting others in the future. Retribution will befall on her soon.
July 4, 2009 at 3:35 pm |

September 29, 2009 at 2:39 pm |

November 1, 2009 at 1:31 pm |
Dear to all friends, i was totally interested by this so called Irene Lim’s storyline. luckily i manage to fingered down this website reading all of yours comments in regards of these scams, thank god i was saved.I thought i did the right thing just to add some financial when reading her convicing statements.Cause at that time i was totally in desperation but now i’ve learned the lesson…a lesson to be more careful in the future. thank guys.
