The Lawn Chair Millionaire is a program founded by Scott Wacker and Kevin DeBellefeuille. The site design is very professional and clean, but they start right out of the box with income promises and it just goes downhill from there. I’ll show you what it costs, and how they “guarantee” you’ll get paid when it’s really just getting some of your own money back.


Here’s how it works:

The first step is to opt into their funnel system, where you’re emailed instructions and a free report which is to get you to pay the $50 fee and start being automatically billed $30 a month to be a member. The product is a “vault” of Ebooks on Forex trading and how to do sports betting. The rest is some business opportunity offerings costing a few hundred dollars each. This is what you get for the monthly fee, it’s the chance to buy more business opportunities.

The way they “guarantee” you’ll get paid is this, to actually receive any money made from this system you have to pay $64 for a special debit card. That’s the money you’ll get in $20 payments each month for the first three months. This technique is to get people excited about it by getting automatic payments without doing anything. The problem is, it’s only for three months and then if you want to make money, you have to start recruiting others.

It’s what they don’t tell you that’s a big deal. You’re led into this being told you don’t need to recruit and it’s all automatic. It’s anything but automatic and after the three months of basically getting your ATM card fee refunded, you’re on your own.

It’s the true definition of a recruitment mill, and some might call it a pyramid scheme. The U.S. Post Office defines one as “a business where money is exchanged, but no goods or services are given”. The product you pay $30 a month for is access to a vault with some Ebooks you can find on the Internet, and the chance to buy into even more business opportunities with an average ticket price of a few hundred dollars.

The address they list [278 Anderton Road, Comox, BC V9M 1Y2] is actually Destinations by Design, which is a bicycle tour travel agency.  The phone number listed with the BBB is 250-339-7364 and FAX is 250-483-1937.

The BBB has given them a rating of B- due to customer complaints. Their contact email is support@lawnchairmillionaire.net, but so many people on message boards have reported no response from that address, I wouldn’t put much effort into sending an email.

How do you make money with it?

The money made here is by recruiting people to pay the $30 a month, you get $15 a month in residuals and $20 when they sign up.  It’s a huge money machine…for them. Some very popular marketers have pushed this hard, and that’s one reason why you see so much hype about it these days. Also I did analytics on their domain and found out they’re doing big media buys in the last three months.
In a down economy there’s a lot of people who will fall for this kind of thing. Their sales copy and web design is weapons grade. They package dreams, and for the average person, that’s all you’re going to get.

If you do this one, make sure you have $2,000 or more that you can afford to risk set aside for advertising, and know what you’re doing as far as Internet marketing goes. Also make sure your conscience can deal with the failure rate of the people you sign up. There quite literally is no product, and that’s what you’ll be selling to people who are trying to improve their lives. Sorry to sound this way, but I speak to people all day long looking for something real who have lost their job and are about to lose their home. My view of people who spread this one around is dim.

The reason I spent so much time researching this one, is the number of credit card companies calling me with their customers on the line. They were calling to stop or dispute the Lawn Chair Millionaire charges, and found my pay per click ad and thought we were them.

Also on the message boards and scam reporting sites, there’s tons of frustrated people who couldn’t find out who to complain to or how to contact them. They went to great lengths to keep their names off it, but the mistake they made was doing testimonials for some other programs which I knew about from previous reviews.

If you want to become a millionaire and sit in a lawn chair, there’s better ways to do it. Of course after investigating hundreds of these over the years, this was one of the ones that didn’t work out.
