No risk, no investment, no work, only profit!

That’s what they advertise on their website. According to their “how it works” page, it says that they need a minimum of 100000+ registered members in order to start negotiating with potential companies. Their aim is to have one million members to make it more effective. They expect that potential companies will give them shares in exchange for the service from their member base. A bit confused? Another way to say it is that a-real-deal.com plans to build up a “huge” member base. If you are a company which plans to market something, you give some shares to a-real-deal.com, then a-real-deal will advertise your product to their huge member base and members will receive some shares in return. a-real-deal.com believes that “shares” = “money”. So the concept is simple, you sign up, wait for your shares (if there will be any), and you will get rich.

Can you get more shares? Yes, there are 4 level of memberships, i.e. verified (free), certified ($5), premium ($25), and committee members ($395). Become a committee member, you will receive more shares and more “insider” news. Yea right, more shares mean more money.

I think this business model isn’t that transparent, the only thing transparent is that they need a fee to cover the cost of membership certification, and etc. As we all know, “shares” could mean and worth nothing. You want more info, you need to “pay” to get more insights. I bet some scammers would love to copy this model, and just collect membership fees. When you ask about the progress, scammers would reply, “Sorry folks, no real deal yet, still need more members.” And then someday, they just grab the money and run.

I hope a-real-deal.com isn’t a scam.
