Zaken Scam! Never sold one of over 45 submissions!

After my initial fees,I spent about $700 on my Zaken website and over $3,500 on advertising. About 3000 post cards, sent to my $120. Zaken list of clients, and over 30,000 focused fax advertisements brought in only about 45 submissions, far fewer than the returns advertised by Zaken. Many fit Zakens's "Hot List" and were priced at less than 10 cents on the dollar. In over a year of efforts, Zaken has NEVER SOLD EVEN ONE OF MY SUBMISSIONS. Their managers Rico and Allen didn't even know the correct terms for overseas shipping. Now after a year, I cannot access my website and they do not return my email requests for help. I would not reccommend Zaken to my worst enemy!

They sold almost all of my submissions. It was actually very easy too.

Guest

Those comments in favore of the Zaken Corp.How are we to know that they are not comments made from Zaken themselves. I am a associate of Zaken, have been for 4 months now working hard, making tags and have not yet seen a penny, yet asked for more money to up grade.

At this point I can only believe that these in favore comments are that of Zaken. From day one to the present I have been putting 2&2 together and it's not looking good for Zaken.

Guest

no you just didn't do something right. theres no way you can fail at their program like them

Guest

they didn't sell 1 out of 45 submission?!? how come out of my 5 submissions they sold 3? thats impossible

Guest

I have worked with all the managers for this company and I can assure you that they are only out to make money for themselves. Anyone who buys from this company is not only wasting their money but are also being scammed.

I worked their for 4 years and was pushed to do stuff that I did not want to do constantly. Double billing, questionable billing techniques, heck, I was even told to ignore refunds for customers just so that they were inelligble for the refund. How can anyone say that this company is good? They cannot, and are working for ZAKEN (the actual company) in efforts to make sure that the last comment is a good one.

They have a great marketing department and thats how that company makes their money. By fooling people into thinking that you are one of the lucky few to be chosen to make money with them.

I WORKED THEIR AND WAS UP THEIR ON THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. TRUST ME, THEY ARE SCAMMING YOU.

Guest

I LOVE THE ZAKEN COMPANY. THEY SAVED ME!!!

Guest

ZAKEN IS A GREAT BUSINESS. I DISAGREE WITH ANYONE THAT COMPLAINS!!!

Guest

It's hard for me to believe that Zaken is that much of an issue. A couple of years back when I invested money in Zaken, I put some effort in the job and made a lot of money. I don't know about other people but I recommend Zaken to everyone out there.

Guest

The Federal Trade Commission can help you. What Zaken does is fraud,contact the FTC and file a criminal complaint.

Otherwise,you will never see a penny back. The telephone number of the Fraud Unit is (615) 862-****.

ZAKEN CORP

Thats Funny Dieter I Used To Work At Zaken For 2 Years Until I Moved To Oregon And You Were Fired For Not Selling And Showing Up Late Buster. They Do Everything They Can To Help Their Agents Make Money. I Have Nothing But The Altmost Respect For Zaken. If I Didnt Move To Oregon I Would Be Their Today. Agents Cant Sit At Home Watch Tv And Expect 10,000 Per Week. I Seen During The 2 Years Ronit And Mangement Bust Their Butts To Make Sure The Agents And Employees Are Taking Care Of. To Agent Sales To Employee Bonuses They Are They're Every Step Of The Way

No that's all that it requires. You literally can sit at home all day and just work 2-3 hours with Zaken.

That's what they are all about.

They let their customers be lazy and make money at the same time. I know from experience that you can make money from Zaken with barely lifting a finger.

Guest

To the individual that had made the comment about sitting on the couch watching tv. What a joke.

I can tell you that is not the case in most. I work from 9am - 9pm, I make calls, I mail post cards, I send out 300-400 e-mails daily and I research companies for my own company list and working all those hours I have not made a dime. 2-3 hrs a day will get you nowhere.

I bust my butt and get nothing in return. THANK YOU.....

Guest

yeah v..there were many who successfully made bank through zaken. its really not a hard process because you just have to bust your *** doing it.

everything in life takes hard work and zaken is one of them. but it pays off

Guest

v, i have to say that you are wrong. Think about it, how would Zaken make money if their customers dont?

All the money that the customers make, a percentage goes to Zaken. Therefore, the customers must make money.

Guest

this makes sense because when i paid the 150 dollars i was doing zakens program and there would always be deal after deal after deal. zakens great customer service always helped me out anytime i had a question.

Guest

I agree with you 100%. I have visited the Zaken Corp headquarters and they are very strict with their agents of having their clients make money. They know what real business is and they WILL do what they can so they keep their promise to you.

Guest

I just joined quicksell and they have talked to me on the phone and by email.

Who out there has cashed real checks from the Zaken Corp in the last 12 years?

Guest

I used to work for Zaken and I used to see many "associates" make money, especially in regards to Quiksell. People did not make 10K per WEEK but i have seen them make thousands in total.

Employees are taken care of, and everyone there always cared about the customers making their investment back.

Guest

this has to be posted by zaken because i was there for 2 years and i only saw about 4 customers a month make any money considering the fact that we had hundreds of ppl buying the program each day!

All I can say is wow. That was really low of you to expose someones private information like that.

Just because you were too lazy to put enough effort to make great money doesn't mean it is okay to just do something rude like that.

I have tried Zaken's program and it is great. So don't start saying bad stuff like that until you make the effort.

Guest

trust me, most of those emails are forwarded to a "lacky". How do I know? Lets just say I have a friend on the inside

Guest

I don't care why you are so full of hate toward Mr. Zaken, maybe jealousy or just laziness on your part but THIS IS AN AWFUL THING TO DO TO ANYONE.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DEFAME SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. IF YOU DO KNOW PERSONALLY ALL ABOUT THIS MAN AND HIS "WRETCHED EMPLOYEES" THEN COME OUT WITH IT AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOU JUST WON THE PRIZE. ALL YOU DID WAS LOWER PUBLIC OPINION ABOUT YOU AND THAT GOES FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS WAY!

JUST SO YOU KNOW, I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ZAKEN CORP. I JUST DON'T APPROVE OF PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE SOMEONE LOOK BAD THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH THIS WORLD.

Did not return my money.

The Zaken Corp. of Thousand Oaks, CA, refuses to refund my $149.00 sent them in April 2010 for their program which I had sent back within a few days of receipt. The BBB of Thousand Oaks, CA, apparently has no facility for handling complaints of this nature. I have checked other web sites for information regarding where and how one can register complaints of this nature but to no avail. I will call the Federal Trade Commission at 202-326-**** and ask for their help. Any other ideas out there how I might get back my money? Thanks!

Guest

I got my money back easily so I don't think there would be a problem with anyone else.

Guest

I asked Zaken for a refund and they gave me all my money back without any problems or chaos. If you ask for a refund before 30 days after you ordered their program, then they will give you all your money back guaranteed.

Guest

Well thats a little bit weird because I have started their program and I did not make as much money as I needed so I requested a refund BEFORE their time deadline which is 30 days. I got a full refund. Make sure you know if you want to continue or not before their 30 day time limit or else you can not get a refund.

Guest

I have worked dilligently for a month. Turned in five customers.

Excuses were made about not receiving needed info. I contacted the co.s They said they had sent info. Everyone denies responsibilty. Leads got disgusted and wouldn't take my phone calls.

This is slick talk and elder abuse.

I am 83 and invested $2498.00 . Hoped to help out with my ss.

Guest

i ordered the zaken kit when i got it was un happy and dissatisfied and ask for a refund and got my money all back except for shipping so all i was out was shipping cost so i was happy hope this helps! 8)

Guest

it is clearly stated in their literature that if the merchandise (which is a *** little binder with paper in it) is not returned within 30 days (sumtimes 45 depending on the program) you will not get your money back! I am so sorry that you among others fell into this trap!

i worked there for 2 years and onky saw a few results! this company is a SCAM!

No v...you are not right. The practices of this company are smart and its a win-win situation.

If you make money, then they make money.

If you don't, then they don't. Trust me its planned and its smart.

I'm pretty sure that Zaken can make you more money than what you're offering. Zaken's #1 priority is for their customers to make money so get your facts right.

First of all after examining this program I found the following warning signs: 1. recieved two packets with two different amounts asked for as good faith, one was $49.00 the other was $167.00 someone goofed?

2. The program says you must be one of the first 100 people to respond, yet I recieved a simular packet three months ago which I trashed. 3. They try to upsell you right away for a website for $2000.00(even before you start, to see if you can succeed)!

4.Contact is by mail instead of E-mail which is cheap and not a nornal contact method anymore. 5. Two weeks to get your starter kit unless you pay an extra $10 dollars to expedite your kit. Two weeks?

They must not want your business very bad if they will make you wait that long to start. Seriously no Internet contact, that puts this company the stone ages.On here supporting this company has to be plants to make the company look good!

Guest

In jail? For what?

If you know so many people that got ripped off, I know so many people that made thousands.

Theres no reason they should be going to jail because they're company is really good and positive. Ive been helped well and I am out of the financial situation I was in recently thanks to Zaken

Guest

How would you know that they were going to rip you off if you didn't even give them a chance. Half the people online are liars.

They just didn't try and they failed so they tell people it is a rip off. I tried it myself and am still doing it for almost a year and I haven't been ripped off once.

i disagree with you chents81 because i think that zaken is the best in-home business youre best off with. the way they you make money from them is just so simple.

you get 50% profits is that not amazing? i dont think you can be better off with anything else other than Zaken.

Kymani Vvg

if anyone buys their programs your better off just getting your own membership with megagoods.com. Those "deals" that they are selling to you is not only a load of false promises but its also cheaper to bypass Zaken when it comes to buying stuff from "them".

They will buy something from megagoods and sell it to you with a 300% mark up is what I last heard. So that price your seeing or hearing on one of Zakens websites is actually 200% less somewhere else. This is probably one reason that no one makes money. Zaken ask you to find excess merchandise, its quicksell program, and you have to find something that cost $5 at big lots, and Zaken wants it for $.01.

They're drop shippers all around the country and they are cheaper deals out there than Zaken. Zaken is all about taking your hard earned money. Zaken is out to make as much money as it can right now. They will take advantage of as many people as they can before they go out of business and move operation again.

Zakens merchandise is nothing but broken watches, low grade wallets, lower grade sunglasses, unfashionable clothing, and cheap little knick knacks that are not worth anything these days. Megagoods is the place where they buy your order (good stuff) from and then ship it to you believing it was zaken after you were scammed out of about 200% of your money for buying your product (merchandise). For shame Zaken. Zaken says it has a huge warehouse filled with merchandise...for what?

There warehouse is filled with nothing but that cheap stuff i mentioned above, and the other 2/5ths of it are filled misc stuff that is there for "looks" in case the DA comes to shut down their operation. At least, thats how it looks from someon who worked their for 4 years.

Kim A Gzq

Ive been working with Zaken for the past couple of months. I am 100% satisfied with their amazing program.

Its a great opportunity and the people complain that they are not making are just simply lazy. I am making more money than I ever have in my life. I am telling all my friends about it and they are thinking of starting it too. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY CALL ZAKEN!!

if you start working with them do not expect to make money if you are just going to be lazy. If you actually try with their program you WILL make money no doubt.

Zanken corporation sent closeouts 25 warehouses and received no money. some were sold others contact

I paid the fee for Zankens. I read info and got 25 closeouts in the Millions. Sent in, some were sold but no money received. Individuals were contacted by Zanken and brought goods. No monies received per comission. They use you to get there business free. Plus you pay them a fee which is not returnable within days. You get the run around from them. It cost you a lot of time and money. I was told by some customers they would boycott me if I continued to work with them . After that I couldnt get any sales. Also, the warehouses seem to ignore the sales. At first they were very happy I was going to close their products. But after contact by Zankens not sales established. Also seems the customers got there own person to sell as me. m b scott MB Scott

i can't believe people would actually turn down an opportunity like Zaken. Its like straight up turning down money.

I don't understand that. When Zaken offers you to work with them, it is literally like money calling for u to claim it.

I listened to them and that was a smart move. TAKE THE CHANCE YOU HAVE

Guest

they are not what you think they are. they dont rip people of.at least not me...

ive heard many successful stories about the zaken corp.

lately people have been complaining a lot. they are good though

Guest

I heard multiple complaints about the same thing during my 4 years working there. Their leads are recycled and recycled and recycled, so that directory of leads your getting are companies that are shut down, out of business, dont want to work with Zaken, or are yearrrs old.

Most dont want to work with zaken because one of the 1000's of people who got the very same directory before you already had the company send in a sample which was taken home by management. Zaken is a huge fraud, and if no one believes me, just ask, ill be glad to give you an unbiased opinion from someone who sat with all the managers listening to new schemes and heist.

Guest

i agree with u vvvvv

Zaken lied again and again

I ordered the EBay marketing system. I had used EBay in the past and I had just opened up a store and was looking to expand my inventory. I thought it sounded good. It did too good to be true! I ordered the system, and started it the first day I got it. Nothing happened, big suprise. I tried it for the month with no results. There are only a few items and there are a ton of people trying to sell the exact same items . Anyway, I called Zaken on the 8th to find out how to ship the program back to them, I had to leave a message. Called back two days later, again I had toleave a message. Called back two days later, on the 12th and finally got a hold of someone. I was told that my card wasn't going to be charged until the 18th but that he would push back the date until the 25th so I wouldn't get charged. I went that day to the post office and mailed it back by priority mail like I was instructed. I got delivery confirmation for it. Delivery confirmation showed that it was delivered on the 15th. I thought that I was safe. Never think that with Zaken! My checking account was charged the fee on the 18th! Because I didn't have the money to cover it, like I knew I wouldn't we also got charged 3 overdraft fees. I called Zaken on the 18th, was told that my account would be moved up to the first position in the refunds. Why wasn't it handeled as soon as they got it? And why was I charged on the 18th and not the 25th like I was promised? I told them that I was holding them responsible for the overdraft fees that I incurred and wanted them to refund those fees as well. The program fees were eventually reversed but the overdraft fees were not credited. So, I called back and rexplained the situation again and how it was their fault. I was told that he would check in to it, he took my name and number and was suppose to get back to me. I didn't hear anything so I called again. This time I was told that this was a matter for upper management and that he would talk to upper management and get back to me. Again, I didn't hear anything. I called back again, this time extreemly irate. Explained the situation again. Was told that the person who was handeling my account was no longer with the company and the request must have been lost when he left. She told me that this was a case for upper management and she was not authorized to help me. I demanded to speak to her supervisor and was transferred. Guess what, I got her voice mail! I left an angry message stating that I want the money that I am owed and that I require someone to contact me immediately or I will take further steps to collect my money. That was an hour ago. We will see if they get a hold of me. I seriously doubt it.

IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED AND MAKE A COMFORTABLE LIVING, CALL THE ZAKEN CORP!

quit trying to blame an innocent company that just does good to people including me. You will get nowhere by doing that. Whatever happened to you already happened so its not fair for you to do that to a company that helps many people.

Zaken Corporation

I did all the homework and check the BBB on this company. I found things that claimed the complaints filed were all done by a disgruntle employee. I gave them my credit card and was told that i only had to spend the $174.00 to start earning money from home. I then received their package 2 weeks after i ordered it. When i opened the package imagine my surprise when i saw that in order to make the money i had to spend another $500.00 to get the names of the companies as promised. This is a scam and i am not an employee and i have never been employed by them

That was a bad idea, because you would being making a lot of money

Guest

i just got the info in th mail and decided to check it out on google, i decided to rip up the info

Guest

What are you talking about? I just paid the small fee and then I got everything I needed to start making money from home.

After I got everything I needed, it worked perfectly. I didn't add any more fees than I needed too

Guest

no v, what you're saying is all wrong. Whether you worked there or not I disagree with everything you are saying because what you're saying about them doesn't match my experience with Zaken.

You're saying that they are scam when I made all the money I needed from that exact program.

Maybe thats just how it used to be. At least now its nothing like what you describe.

Definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made. I've made a lot of money off the Zaken Corporation. I honestly recommend this to anyone who is struggling to make money during this tough recession.

Guest

Sounds terrible! People are giving their hard earned money thinking that is all its gonna cost. Then realize its gonna cost them thousands of dollars more to even try to make this money "a twelve year old" can make.

Zaken Corp The check that can't be cashed

Ok Ok Listen up after I sent my money with a check that has no money in it and it won't bounce nor will I incur a fee for the check not clearing. I sent $168.00 check as stated above because I figured that this was the real deal until I researched the company Zaken created. First I look at the website zakencorp.biz it's a ordinary page and nothing be text and email or phone no. but after reading all the post and looking for someone who had something good to say no one did. All I saw were complaints all this after I sent in the check and got the package. I was skeptical from the beginning and he letter ask you not to be. I wonder why was this stressed thorough out the letter, Hum so that's why I sent a bogus check to get the infomation and read thorough it. I believe all of you the pissed off consumers who lost their money. I guess you could say that I scammed the scammer because I kept saying to my self this is to good to be true and it was. This site was found usually because I was not a believer in his system. This is while I read the package. I found a site: http://choycesunlimited.com/PayBack.html That of course list people who own money but can also be used for people who ripped you off and owe you money. I want you to know this is not the first time for me but actually the 4th and I have learned that if it had worked than I could have fixed the bad check but now will wait to see if his company contacts me to get the money. LOL This is a story I hope that will help you feel better that someone got him back. can you feel me! A secret you should know put this name all over the web so when it's typed in it'll be found and put a stop to his shananagians.

Hello Fellow Associates, It's been awhile since I've done any advertising for Zaken Corp. I'm one of their affiliates.

Over the years I've received checks for finding associates that want more information about the Zaken corp. All the checks cleared for me..a note from Mr.Zaken thanking me for the Lead.It's been awhile since i've been involved with his Lead Generation program..but I'm going to look into starting up again & see if it still works. There's Pros & Cons I'm sure...for me It's been Perfect so far.

I'll continue to research as you have done.Much Success to all. Have a Perfect Day!

Guest

I rec'd the Zaken business intro letter yesterday with the promise of earning $4k in 30 days. In the beginning of the 22 page letter, Tiran explained that I would not have to "put up any of your own money" to get his money-making plan, but if I have to send a check, or get a money order before I can get his plan, that's putting up my own money. Am I wrong?

All I can say is that if this business plan is such a great opportunity and this guy has made millions of dollars, why can't he make this offer really "RISK-FREE" and let interested people send him the $16 s&h fee to try his plan for the 30-days and if they like it, then send the $148. If this guy is making 50% from every completed deal that you find for him, then why is he charging you $148 to make more money for him? If he really is a millionaire, is this $148 charge really necessary and needed by him.

I have researched hundreds and tried many, "money-making business opportunities" over the past 18 years and I have to say, this opportunity doesn't seem to be any different than any of the others out here in cyberville that aren't what they claim. If you'll notice, all of the 'good' comments are from people in Los Angeles (where this company is from), but none from any other town or city. Why is that, I wonder?

All in all, $148 plus $16 s&h isn't the end of the world, if you lose it, but I like a little more collateral than some guy's hollow words telling me about how great his business opp is for me. A guarantee is only words on paper and cannot legally be enforced.

So if you are looking for a chance to become self-sufficient and this plan sounds good to you, then by all means, go for it. It's only $164 for a chance at quick and easy riches.

Guest

this isn't foolish at all. everything you read in their letters about money is true. You WILL make THOUSANDS GUARANTEED.

Guest

everyone thinks tht they are so hard and stressful but they are anything but a headache. everything worked out perfectly for me and I made all the money I thought I would.

No one in their customer service department has ever treated me with bad attitude. I was happy unlike other ppl

Guest

I have worked with all the managers for this company and I can assure you that they are only out to make money for themselves. Anyone who buys from this company is not only wasting their money but are also being scammed.

I worked their for 4 years and was pushed to do stuff that I did not want to do constantly. Double billing, questionable billing techniques, heck, I was even told to ignore refunds for customers just so that they were inelligble for the refund. How can anyone say that this company is good? They cannot, and are working for ZAKEN (the actual company) in efforts to make sure that the last comment is a good one.

They have a great marketing department and thats how that company makes their money. By fooling people into thinking that you are one of the lucky few to be chosen to make money with them.

I WORKED THEIR AND WAS UP THEIR ON THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. TRUST ME, THEY ARE SCAMMING YOU.

Guest

christine it really is worth your time and money. i guarantee you that all you money that you invest in zaken will come back to you and plus more.

you wont regret it because you will make the money that you deserve. it would be smart to call them and request a kit.

Guest

:? I just got a letter in the mail the other day about this company and promising that I will make 4000$ in the first 30 days or my money back GUARANTEED.

I have no idea how they got my mailing address but its scary because in this economy we are all struggling to make it pay check to pay check. Well at least I am.

I guess if you have the check to get this go for it if not then spend that money on things more important like bills. Well I hope if any of you decide to do this please PLEASE let us know if its REALLY worth are time and hard earned MONEY.

Guest

I don't know what you're talking about. Their checks are perfectly fine from my experience.

Guest

That's kind of weird because when I started Zaken's program, on my first deal I made $2,800 and they gave me a check. I took it to the bank and there was no issue.

It didn't bounce or anything. I don't think they give any bad checks.

Guest

#130524 Ok she said she send a check that would not get cash U GO GIRL however did you at all try to read about the company only saying that because you did not trust the company RIGHT but all money making products there is always someone that does not feel right about it you did what you felt was right for you to do.

But did you ever try it are did you go by what you read of others comments.

Ok well just to type GOOD LUCK : )

and I hope that I feel that this MAY WORK

if not then try again but I don't send money until I am sure and read,read, all info. concerning this again good luck to

all and hope that what ever you decide that it is the real thing bye

Angry consumer

I also was going to send my money and try again to make life easier. I am so glad I read this sight. I am angry that I even wasted my time to read through the *** 23 pages they send you to read. Although they just kept repeating in the letter. I can understand how easy people get sucked into it. Everyone is trying to make ends meat. I wish there was a way to stop this ***, and all cons out there. Its heart breaking to us that just want to make a honest living to get by with a little ease.

What can possible make you angry from this program? They just help people make money. Yes they get their profits but that doesnt mean that theyre a rip-off...

Guest

well all the stuff you read in that letter is true. You will make thousands in the first month and I don't understand why its so difficult for people to understand or believe that. everyone automatically thinks its a fake or a rip off without even giving it a chance.

Guest

don't be angry, they're great

Guest

Mega9798, the letter was brilliant and you honestly should have sent your money because that's what I did and there isn't not one regret in my mind. They help people make an even better living and I know that for a fact. I am a witness to the greatness of this company

Guest

If you sent out your money to Zaken, you wouldn't have regretted it. If you sent your money, you would've double, tripled, and even quadrupled. You missed out.

Guest

I received that long letter from Tiran Zaken just today. He kept stressing that he could hire only 75 people and to respond immediately.

Of course he also wants $149 now. I'm glad I found your website.

Guest

Hi there! I can relate to your frustration, and I can see the big feeling of loss in your writing! That is why I am writing, so that you may have some closure, and get something back!

YOu should try hellopeter.com - this website is the biggest on the net where customers can write reports and have companies responsible for the trouble write back. You should try it. Seriously, it really works. Hellopeter.com is a really cool website - I tried it and it helped me out. I was contacted within the week with feedback from the losers who were responsible for my frustration.

Regards

Jordan

Always check the BBB

I am glad that I went to the BBB (Better Business Bureau and it popped up with a warning sign that they are not with that company and proceed with causion. So I googled them and this site came up. I am so glad I did not send them any money and that I investigated the company first. I feel you should all report this company and your experience to the the BBB so that when people go in there it will come up and warn others. Thank you and I wish all of you luck in getting things worked out.

The BBB misguides every single company that I looked up.

Guest

The BBB doesn't mean anything. I always use that website before I get involved with companies and the BBB gives even great companies bad ratings.

I wouldn't trust them. Now I don't know a lot about the Zaken Corporation but just because the BBB gave them a bad rating, doesn't mean that they a necessarily bad.

I say you check them out first. I know I will.

Guest

The BBB is straight up ***

Guest

THE BBB IS WRONG!! ZAKEN DOES NOT DESERVE AN F AS A GRADE.

EVERYTHING WAS GREAT WHEN I WORKED WITH THEM. THEY DESERVE AN A+!!

There is nothing honest about this company the home in Thousand Oaks doesn't even exist.

The warehouses are filled with empty boxes.

Try and order something from you site see if you receive it. You won't and they will tell you that you have no sales, no income. Don't believe me try it yourself I did.

Guest

I agree with Susan. People really will always find something to complain about.

I haven't met Tiran Zaken personally but I am sure he is a really caring man and that it's important for him that his customers make money.

When I received their letter, I couldn't put it down. The information was so tempting so I tried out the program and I made my first deal in just a couple of days.

Guest

People will always find something to complain about... Zaken is a good company.

I have met Tiran Zaken when I went to visit him in his office in Thousand Oaks and he is a honest and caring man.

I told him about my two kids and how I am a single mother... he made sure I closed a deal!

Read my detailed experiences with Zaken

Go to my blog at: http://takenbyzaken.blogspot.com/ or google "taken by zaken" blog. Recently, I was in the neighborhood of the Zaken warehouse. In his initial mailing Zaken encourages you to “drop in.” “I invite you to visit and meet me personally when you are in the area.” I took Zaken up on that. The warehouse is located in an industrial park not far from Los Angeles. There was a warehouse, however, the boxes looked very old and I cannot even be sure if they were empty. Also, Zaken claims in his mailings to be an extremely wealthy man (that is if Tiran Zaken actually exists). The warehouse had extremely worn carpet and old furniture for the approximately 10 employees. What I found the most interesting was that in the hallways were millions of pieces of mail ready to go out-the same mailing I asked for 3 months ago. If he is only looking for 150 people, why millions of pieces of mail? Perhaps that is to replace the other people who become disgusted and give up on locating closeout items. Since Zaken is not actually buying the surplus items, he has to keep the money coming in somehow. At this time, I have no more to write. I would appreciate any reactions to what I have written. If you are a Zaken or QuikSell associate and have a positive experience I would love to hear about it – I would however, like to see proof. After the experience I have had, sorry, but I cannot take you on your word. Show some evidence that you actually made money at this. Please email me at: TakenByZaken@***.com. I may post your email on this blog if you give me permission. I look forward to all responses.

Why are you anonymous? Cuz you're lying about Zaken being bad?

Guest

Your blog is pretty interesting. Some bad and some good so its hard to tell how this company really is.

Guest

i went to your blog and i saw different reactions. some good and some bad.

i do not agree with youre blog though. I like what this company does and how it works because it very bright.

i am making money off zaken as i am typing this review about them. the money keeps coming if you actually know how to work it

ps...their new warehouse is full of empty boxes again, its just a front for walk in customers

Guest

Zaken is not a scam unless you know how to make money from them. You can't just order their kit and expect to have money fall from the sky. You must try and then you'll make a lot of money

Guest

Thanks for saving me both time and money.. again thank you for the heads up on this scam.

The Zaken Corp Sucks

OK so i got the letter today for yet another at home "scam" i get these all the time hoping to get something in return but all of it is false if they really want help from someone like me who has absolutely no money to even get started maybe they should try with their "millions" of dollars to just get someone started to prove for real that its true, where is the real help out there when do we get a break? I dont want a handout just a little help, thats all i ask! when do the people in "poverty" get the help they need????

Zaken is a great help for people in "poverty". The amount of income you can get from Zaken is way over the poverty amount.

That is if you actually try.

The income you get from them is enough for an actual living to be exact. Thats what people aren't understanding.

Guest

The Zaken Corp is most definitely not a scam. there is no way they are a scam.

if u dnt have money and are scared to invest than dont but tht doesnt mean tht the zaken corp is a scam. even if u did invest and u didnt have a lot of money, you would've started to build your life again as long as u put in the effort.

Guest

If Zaken really is a scam and it really does suck, then tell me how I made $2000 on my first week.

Guest

the author or this complaint is valid. and to the person who suggested zaken is a hard working company...you must be an employee, and if so, you know that its working hard on its input and not its output.

the only way to make money working for zaken is to be one of their "business consultants" who are actually salemen. I used to work for this god awful company so I know what I am talking about.

Guest

Well you're one out of many people that have failed with Zaken. Even people that I know have succeeded with the Zaken Company. Maybe you should check yourself before you complain about hard working businesses.

Guest

It's kind of weird that you didn't make money because when I worked with Zaken I made a lot of money in my first deal. A lot of people are complaining and I really wish they would just experience Zaken without all their laziness.
