Problems With Keith Wellman's VIP Auto Pilot Profits System

This is not one of those posts that tries to get you to purchase the system in the title (VIP Auto Pilot Profits System). In fact, it is just the opposite. This is a warning to stay as far away as possible.

I am about to relate my own, personal experience with simple facts.

Yes, I'm on tons of lists from various Internet marketers. I am fairly new to this arena and want to learn as much as I can. I'm a big believer in "all information is good" so I do lots of research. I also have a healthy amount of skepticism while at the same time wanting to believe that the values of honesty and integrity are alive and well. That said, when I received the email from Keith Wellman promoting his VIP Auto Pilot Profits System, I relied on what I had read about Keith and believed when he said, "This is %100 NO-RISK money back guarantee" in his sales video. I decided to make the purchase and check out his system with the understanding that I could request a refund if done in a timely manner.

Unfortunately for people who are trying to make money online, these products are purchased sight unseen. As consumers of these types of products, we make our purchase decisions based on the reputation of the marketer. Their integrity is tantamount to their continued success. As I've stated before, I believed in the integrity of Keith Wellman and believed that he would honor his word of, "This is %100 NO-RISK money back guarantee." Obviously my trust in him was grievously misplaced.

I'm sure you can guess what happened. Boy, am I naive! I accessed the product and it did not meet my expectations in the least. I considered the products he offered to be substandard, rife with poor grammar and misspellings. In addition, I feel he way over-valued the software he was offering, especially considering that much of it is available for free. Within 2 weeks of making the purchase and trying to find some redeeming value in the product, I decided to request a refund.

I submitted my refund request via the support system at justaskkeith.com. To their credit, I got an email response from Erica. Unfortunately, the response was this:

"We will be more than happy to give you a full refund. Please read through our refund policy, go through the steps and we will credit you back the full amount.
60 Day Money Back Guarantee
We offer a full 100% money back guarantee for this package. Go ahead and try out our system with zero risk...use it and put it to the test for a full 90 days...

...if after you have gone through the system and applied it you find that it isn't for you simply let us know what you did and we'll work with you to get you making a full time income online and if for whatever reason that doesn't happen we'll refund 100% of your money back."


First of all, I thought I had already "gone through the steps" by checking out the system and requesting the refund when I found it to be unsatisfactory. Secondly, take note of the verbiage - "60 Day Money Back Guarantee... put it to the test for a full 90 days." Ambiguous at best, deceptive at worst. This is in addition to the 30 day refund policy (within which I had made my initial refund request).

I have had a continued email exchange with Erica to no avail. My last resort was to contact my credit card company to begin a dispute. After the representative read the policy from the website, she assures me I have a valid dispute so we will see where it goes from here.

My purpose in writing this rather lengthy post is just to warn anyone who might be considering a purchase from Keith Wellman or his company FX Marketing, Inc. Think long and hard before spending any money unless you don't mind losing it forever.

I have read that many of the negative posts regarding Keith, his company and this product have been removed from various blogs and forums. I'm not sure how or why that's occurred but I intend to keep this here, as it is true and accurate.

Please share your experiences with Keith Wellman or anyone other Internet marketing "guru". We must all stand together to keep the Internet a viable place to make an honest living.
