What Is Profits25?
Hey there!
Sarah here =) Another review of a product I have tried for you and disliked… Without further ado here’s my complete Profits25 review : what it is, how much it costs, who the owners are, the cons and my #1 recommendation ! Enjoy your visit!
Comprehensive Review

Name : Profits25
Website : www.profits25.com
Type : “online advertising agency”, shared revenue module
Created in : 2013
Owners : not specified
Support : awful
Verdict : scam (it’s a revshare, a ponzi)
Why Not Join?
- too many complaints
- no clear information on the company’s owners and purpose
- too many people haven’t received their debit card
- too many people have been waiting for their payments for months, sometimes up to a year (including me!)
- it’s not really MLM, you don’t sell anything of value… you just recruit people who, by joining the program, will pay for the people who entered it before them. This system is called a ponzi and you can read more about ponzi schemes here
Who’s Behind Profits25?
I should have done my research before writing this review, I know. But hey, you learn from your mistakes, right?
You will not find much information on their website. There is no “about us” page for the company or the managers, which you have to admit is quite strange. Or not exactly reassuring.
A serious company must show some transparency. Try googling famous companies and look at their “about us” page. On Profits25 you have no idea who you are talking to and even when you attempt to contact them through their “support” service, they will either not get back to you at all or their answer will be in an approximate French full of spelling mistakes. -_-
Here’s the only information I could find about the company :
Support Venture Ltd
The Hub, Suite 003,
Triq San Andrija,
San Gwann Malta
Trade register number: C 56318 - Malta
© Copyright 2013 - 2015 Support Venture Ltd - The Hub, Suite 003, Triq San Andrija, San Gwann Malta
No CEO name, no history of the company, no why they’re doing this, nothing.
How Much Does It Cost To Join?
This part was very transparent though =). It will cost you €50 to get started. To access the module you will need to invest in at least 2 advertising coupons, each worth €25.
What Does The Program Consist In?
Profits25 offers the members to purchase advertising coupons and earn money every Friday by clicking on ad banners. These banners are supposed to be Profits25 partners that have supposedly paid a certain amount of money for people to click on their banners. These clicks are said to improve their ranking on search engines. Which is absolutely not true by the way ^^
As you click on these ad banners you’ll get messages such as “this site has no connection with Profits25”. Then some links are broken and you don’t even know what you’re clicking.
The banners page looks really cheap to me and screams “scam alert!”, don’t you think? Plus, if you take a closer look at Profits25 partners you’ll realize they all have an affiliate program, which means that if you go on and purchase something on their websites, Profits25 will earn a commission =) Thanks to you !
Can You Earn Money?
So what about the earning process? Let’s assume you could become rich with Profits25, ok? The truth is it will take you a long time to get a high return on your investment (except if you’re willing to invest €10,000 in the first place!)
If your initial investment is $50 and you do not make any or enough referrals, I hope patience is one of your qualities. Profits25 also offers a sponsorship program that allows you to earn commissions on the purchase of coupons by your affiliates. The more affiliates you make, the more commissions you earn and the more additional coupons you can reinvest in. In order to make affiliates you are going to have to recruit massively, by praising the program =)
You will (in theory) earn commissions paid out down on four levels of recruitment :
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 10%
- level 2 – 5%
- level 3 – 3%
- level 4 – 2%
Obviously, the more coupons you have the faster you will generate money. I can not speak for other Profits25 members – especially for those who joined the program in its early days and are terribly rich – but I can tell you this :
I invested 150 euros in early February 2015 and have not made many referrals (not a huge fan of the concept), 7 in total. My total virtual earnings are as displayed in the above screenshots.
Almost 12 months later : my initial coupons + the commissions I earned from my ridiculously small downline and my reinvestments in other coupons generated € 26,180. It sounds like good money but it’s just virtual.
I am, to this day, waiting for €8099,57 in withdrawals and I have accumulated €13 941,66 in residual due income.
Withdrawing Options
How can you withdraw your earnings? Well you can’t, that’s the thing!ahah… ok maybe some still can but I can’t. And it’s not just me trust me.
When I enrolled, Profits25 offered several withdrawal options but as time passed, I would read more and more complaints from people who were unable to use one or the other payment methods. I had gone for the mastercard debit card. The latter took what felt like a lifetime to be sent and turned out to be the only way to actually see your money. Or not =)
Is The Whole Thing Legal?
I believe my instincts warned me when I joined Profits25. Always trust your instincts!! My feeling of uncertainty at the time probably meant I already knew Profits25 was not legal. Or at least not a safe place to invest my money in… Actually you know what, I think it shouldn’t be legal. Just because it says it’s legal on paper doesn’t mean it’s normal for people to invest money without ever receiving a return on their investment. If I wanted to lose money I’d gamble!
I decided to do some research (I should have done that prior to joining I know! lol) and I came to understand that what makes Profits25 legal (for now) is their “advertising agency” cover. Without the concept of advertising coupons, Profits25 simply may not exist and would even be prohibited. Smart guys, these con artists!
But legally speaking, Profits25 is an MLM because it sells “something” (the advertising coupons).
Final Verdict
Profits25 has undoubtedly generated a lot of money for some but I think most members have either not received their debit card or simply can no longer withdraw their money. Like me ^^
From my experience, Profits25 is a ponzi, which means that it is a scam and people who join the program are only here to pay those who joined the program before. Just like any pyramid scheme.
Sooner or later, there will not be enough people to pay for those at the top and the whole structure will collapse. The unknown founders of the concept will vanish with your money, leaving you frustrated, ripped off and for some broke. And they will start all over again with a similar ponzi scheme, hidden under a different name.
Here’s my recommendation : before you join any program watch out for the below signs :
– When you pay for something that sounds vague…
– When you have no idea who runs the company…
– When support is terrible or inexistant…
– When you start having difficulty withdrawing your money…
– When you read countless complaints about a company…
Chances are you are dealing with a scam and someone at the top of the pyramid is going to run away with your money.
My 1# Recommendation
It took me almost a decade to find the one thing that worked. It’s not MLM, it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme… It is simply an online community and training program, where you will learn how to make money online, the proper way. The way that works. The platform will give you tools, support, training and a wide community of helpful and successful people. This place is called Wealthy Affiliate and I would recommend it over any other program online.
Basically, Wealthy Affiliate is like an online university where you can learn to build an online business through step by step courses. It is free to join and you will meet people there who have actually worked their way to the top. You will also have access to tutorials, marketing tools, 24/7 support, website hosting and all that will allow you to build something that will last over time.
If you would like to give it a try you can register for free and see for yourself what you will accomplish with it! =) I will be glad to see you there (find me, I’m BelieveItYes)

Hi there
I would like to know if you have received your MasterCard and how long he took because I order mine since 08/04/15 and still not here I leave in London
Thank you hope to hearing from you soon
Hi Idrissa
It took a loooong time for me to receive my mastercard, yes… months. -_- but I did receive it after exchanging several mails with the profits25 support.
I also received an email this morning, about the credit cards. Did you receive it too? It seems they have had issues with the sending of our cards and they’re trying to fix it. Anyway, if you haven’t received it yet, I suggest you send a email to the address : relaisofficielp25cartes@gmail.com
Let me know
Thanks for dropping by
Cheers

Hello,
Sarah mam I joined Profits25 around 1 month ago.My sponsor offered me the initial coupons so that I can start the process.
Now I’ve question to you as I can u r a experienced member of it.My question is if I don’t want to withdraw my earning through Card then will it be reliable for me to withdraw my earning through other medium that Profits25 support.Suppose “SolidTrustPay”. Are they really pay through it ? & how many days it will take to receive the earning into my STP account after my withdraw request ?
Thanks,
Tahmid
Hi Tahmid
Unless I’m mistaken I think there have been frauds with the solidtrustpay thing and they are now using PerfectMoney instead. However I read that it takes a long time to get your money and highly recommend that you ask for the credit card. I will ask my sponsors what they think and will get back to you asap
All the best
Sarah
Do you know of anything like this in the USA, I would do this in a New York minute!
Hi Mark
I’ve searched the web for something similar to Profits25 but couldn’t find anything =/. I’ll let you know when I find something that’s reliable !
Thanks for dropping by
Cheers
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
Interesting article here, thanks for that, but I want to know if you’ve made all that money by sponsoring people, and if so, how much would one do without sponsoring anyone?
Hi Nicolas
Thank you for dropping by! I did sponsor a few people to generate this amount of money, but it’s only 6 people =). Some of my friends have made hundreds of referrals and make over 3000 euros a week … lol. With MLM it’s all about referrals, but it’s not compulsory of course!
Take care
Sarah
Sarah, I see that they accept Canada, I’m allowed to live there 6 mo.s of the year w/o a visa, what exactly do I need to show Profits25 to qualify to join? Canadian ID, PO box? Trying to figure this out. Thanks for your help!
Hi Mark !
Thanks for dropping by ! All you need is your information (first name, last name, phone, email…) and a valid credit card to purchase your coupons. Let me know if you have a problem signing up here : http://myModule25.com/BelieveIt
All the best !
Sarah
I know that but I live in the USA, Do I need a Canadian residence, ID how can I sign up correctly to get paid?
Hi Mark
You would need an address in Canada since profits25 is not available in the USA. Do you have an address in Canada where the company will be able to send your debit card so you can withdraw your money?
Sarah
Sarah i was thinking of getting a PO box there, do i need a canadian id to withdraw money?
What is a PO?
PO is post office box, Sarah I have a place to stay in France in the winter can I receive my card there, do I need a france ID when they deliver the card, do they ask for ID, right now I just have my USA Id, also how much can I withdraw every week, I heard if you withdraw less than $2,500 you don’t have to provide ID? Thanks in advance, Mark.
Sarah when the debit card comes to my place in France I heard I have to sign for it, does the currier ask for ID, if so can I use my California ID, also I heard it only takes 2 weeks now to get your debit card?
Thank you Sarah you have been extremely helpful, I like your site. Lots of good info, one last question, can you withdraw money weekly? I heard as long as you stay under 2,500 its easy but if you go over you have to show all kinds of documentation?
Hi Mark! Sorry for the late reply I was away for a couple of days!
Thank you for your kind words. You can withdraw money weekly but the best strategy is to let the money generate long enough and then withdraw once a month and let the rest of the money cumulate. It all depends how much you invest in the first place. It took me 6 months to be able to withdraw, but that’s because I initially invested only 150 euros.
Thanks Sarah, if I want to withdraw more than $2,500 do I show them my France Utility bill and my California driver license ? Or do they require more documentation? PS Hope you had fun!
Let me ask someone who has withdrawn this amount of money lol… It’s going to take me a while to be able to withdraw over 2000 dollars =). I had an awesome time thanks! =)
Mark, if you are willing to earn money online you want to consider building your own website and earning money from something you love, from a passion. Let me know if you are interested in a free sign up! Cheers, have a lovely day
Sarah
Sarah right now my web business keeps me pretty busy, I have 50 clients and they pay a monthly fee for my services. I’m a self taught web designer and SEO specialist. My site is a acme1web.com
Are you in London?
Hey Mark!
I know what it’s like lol having a website that keeps you busy… =) Congrats on your 50 clients! If you made 50 you can definitely make 500 and 5000!
I will check out your website
No I am not in London, I live in the South-West of France, near Bordeaux
Hello Sarah.
I just joined Profit 25 – may I ask some questions?
Hello Les, yes sure, shoot! (welcome to Profits25)
Are there any alternate sources that can be used for verification of location – ie. utility bills are in the name of the owner in the Philippines – what else may I use?
I am not sure I understand your question, I am sorry. Could you rephrase it? Thanks!
To upgrade the debit card – they require a copy of one’s ID card and utility bill in one’s name for the address that one lives at. In the Philippines the property owner’s generally keep the utilities in there own name – so is there another way to prove residency? Copy of bank statement or whatever. I have been in the Philippines the last 13 years and never had utilities in my name. Suggestions?
Let me get back to you asap I am going to ask Profits25 directly. I have never been ask this question before and don’t want to mislead you
Thank you
Sarah
Do you know if Profit25 does any business with Neteller.com ?
Hello! They used to, but not anymore. Why?
Because I have a neteller acc
ount
Ok, hmmmm well now I think the only ways to withdraw your money are :
– the prepaid MasterCard provided by Profits25, or
– by online payment platform (Perfect Money)
Thank you. I will wait for your answer on the utility bill
Thanks for your patience. Their support is sometimes a bit slow, I will do my best to get back to you asap!
Sarah
Hello guys ,
sarah , hello ,
i have a question – i ve requested a withdraw a week ago , and been checking to the atm everyday to get the cash out – but nothing – i feel worried – how long did u have to wait ? thank u
But build website is hard and take a lot of time to start earning … it is not somethings easy and you have to find a lot and a lot of readers right ??
and how you can start making money with your website is it by google adsense or somethings else …
thank you … i am really need to make money
hi ..
you make me confused are you recommended to join to profits25 or do you think it is scam ??
help me please
so hello i recvd my master card and i buy 49 coupons now i have 480 cp 1 year now waiting my money just nothing 5 months waiting …..and my friend waiting his money for 8 months now but nothing ………..
Hi Leo
I am afraid you might never be able to withdraw your money… you and your friend are not the only ones who can’t withdraw their money or who haven’t received their card, for that matter. It feels like they are randomly sending cards and processing payments. There’s no way for us to know when we’ll get our money, if we ever get it.
My suggestion is that you just accept the fact that profits25 is a scam and find a better business to invest in
All the best
Sarah
no not like that sarah i received my card and i’m able 4 withdraw the prob is i waited for over 5 month and didn’t get my money yet and i’m looking 4 better business ‘ like profits25 and thx
Hi, I’m sorry it’s not really clear to me, did you finally get some money from them?
I did in the beginning, like I said I was happy at first to withdraw my earnings, but quickly withdrawing became downright impossible.
I haven’t been able to see my money for over 8 months now and I have accepted the fact that Profits25 is a scam and most people either never receive their debit card or simply never receive the payout.
I am sorry about the confusion here, I wanted to explain how profits25 works if you join and what to expect from it (very little)
Hope it’s clearer now =)
Cheers
Sarah
I had a question though, about your website. Something seems wrong, I keep getting a warning message. Do you know why?
Hello Marjorie
I can sign you up for free to Wealthy Affiliate if you like.
Sarah
Sure Sarah. Please do sign me up.
Many thanks,
Marjorie
Done! Welcome =)
Hey sarah i have a question about earning money from profits25 to online payment platform (perfect money) i don’t have any idea about it ,can you tell me something about it and how…i can’t find any video about it on youtube ….thank you i hope you can reply asap
Lofti, if you read my review here you’ll understand that Profits25 is a horrible scam and that you want nothing to do with it. Don’t invest in it, you might never see your money back. There are tons of people who joined Profits25 (including me) and are unable to withdraw their earnings. Profits25 is not a good company… you better start a real business and I suggest joining wealthy affiliate to get started. You’ll have access to training on how to earn money online and you’ll get 2 free websites. Click here if you want to join Wealthy Affiliate
Cheers

Thanks Fred! Profits25 is definitely one of the worst thing I have invested in the last few years lol… I really don’t recommend it, it’s bound to collapse, anytime soon.
Great post, je parle français (je suis française en fait ^^)
