Have you stumbled upon the Explosive Payday website and wondered if it was real or a scam and if you could really make money out of it? Good thing that you decided to do some research as I will provide you with a full Explosive Payday review and I will explain what it really is.
When you are served with the Explosive Payday promotional page, there isn’t much information on it at all. The main thing is the video from CNN which makes it look official. Let’s look into this video. A CNN anchor interview a lady who claims that she’s making money online from blogging and doing some social media. Now this is not false. I have been making a living online blogging since 2007 and you can do it too. This video did air on CNN since thousands of people are actually making money online.
However, Explosive Payday folks simply stole this video and edited it in order to make their scam seem legit. This is a big red flag. An honest business will never steal an official video and claim that the video is about their program. Have you noticed how the people in the video never actually mention the Explosive Payday? Have you noticed how the Explosive Payday folks simply over-layed an image on image of their program on top of the video? Here it is:
Another red flag is the use of very known and trustworthy brands at the top and bottom of this page. MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, USA Today, ABC – all familiar logos, right? They are there to lure you into trusting this site. However if you pay attention to the small text right next to the logos: “Work from home opportunities have been featured on…”. It does not say that the Explosive Payday has been featured on these networks because it never was. The way I see it, Explosive Payday folks are scared to make the claim of being featured because they know they might get sued for this.
Please that while the program is called the Explosive Payday, they operate from a domain name acceleratedincomeprogram.com (Accelerated Income Program). Although ExplosivePayday.com is also an active website.
When it comes to online programs and training, I can spot the red flags a mile away. I have been scammed in the past and I’ve been in the industry for almost a decade. Although “making money online” industry can be very profitable, it also attracts a lot of scammers and people who just want to make a quick buck.
The biggest red flags for any scam is not being straight forward. What exactly is the Explosive Payday? They never explain it to you. You don’t know what it really is and what you’ll get for your money. The only option you have on their sales page is to enter your name and email. I did that.
At this point they simply take you to a checkout page. Remember, you still have no clue about what’s inside this “magic system”.
Only $9.95 instead of $399? What a deal! Although you still don’t know what you’re buying. If you pay attention and read the whole cost, you’ll understand that you will be charged $9,95 today and then another $29.95 just five (5) days later. This second payment is recurring and will be charged every single month unless you cancel your subscription. In my experience cancelling such service may be very difficult.
Since their sales page and the checkout page never explain what Explosive Payday really is I had to dig deeper. The answer came to me from their terms and conditions. In short, Explosive Payday signs you up for a hosting package. This trick is very old and has been polluting the online space for years. In the online marketing world it’s often referred to as “hosting scam”. When you sign up to a hosting provider, Explosive Payday receives a commission. There is nothing wrong with this model. However, they never explain that this to you. They force you into VW Hosting by promising to make you rich. There are much better hosting plans available and you should be able to choose your provider instead of being forced into one. If you want to find out more about people’s experience with VW Hosting check this out.
That’s another piece of information I had to dig for. This mention comes from their terms page:
REFUND POLICY
We do not offer refunds on the activation fee or monthly hosting charges. However, there are no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and you may cancel anytime by simply calling our office. We do offer a 5-day trial after you pay your activation fee. You can use our system for 5-day’s and work with our support staff before you are charged your first hosting fee of $29.95. If for any reason you are unhappy with our system, please call our customer support department at the numbers provided below.
Basically when you spend $9.95 on your “activation fee” you will not get it back. And if for any reason you don’t cancel within 5 days you’ll be charged another $30 without the possibility of a refund.
They claim that you can cancel your subscription at any time by calling one of their numbers:
Phone:
US- 1-866-737-6801 UK- 0808-234-6536 NZ- 0800-451-485
IRE- 1800-677-626 AU- 1800-122-544 SG- 800-1302-158
ZA- 0800-1302-158 IND- 000-800-100-4553
Hours of Operation: 9AM to 8PM Mountain Standard Time Monday-Friday.
I actually tried calling the U.S. support number but it doesn’t seem to be in service. This means that you won’t be able to cancel your subscription as easily as they say.
As I kept scrolling through the terms and conditions page I found more and more interesting information:
We cannot completely verify our customer statements in testimonials. For purpose of privacy, testimonial pictures have been adapted and are not their actual photos. Results may vary, testimonials are not typical results. All testimonials have been remunerated
This basically means that if you see any testimonials on the site, they are false and made up from thin air.
This site and the products and services offered on this site are not associated, affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by MSNBC, ABC, USA Today, CNN, Google, Amazon, Bing, Yahoo, Bass Pro Shops or Fox News, nor have they been reviewed tested or certified by MSNBC, ABC, USA Today, CNN or Fox News.
As mentioned earlier in this review, Explosive Payday uses trusted brands with the goal of appealing legit to their potential customers. A typical scam.
Yes you can make money online. However, you must remember that there isn’t a magic system or a shortcut to riches. Building an online business takes time and dedication. Success doesn’t happen overnight and it certainly isn’t going to happen without you taking action.
In 2007 I joined this training platform where I learned how to make a living online. I am still an active member there. The best thing, you can now try them out completely free, without providing your credit card information (or any other sort of payment).

It looks like Explosive Payday is All Scam. I get so frustrated with all the scammers out there. I'm glad you have taken the time to expose these people for what they are. What is the best program to learn how to get started with internet marketing that you recommend?
Thanks,
MItch
Thanks for sharing! Mo
The scammers are definitely in full force :(
You can check out my free email course right here to get started.
There we go again,
hidden fees a ka ramping up the price through rogue-moves & no real product behind the marketing stunts..
..although, using edited CNN video is something new for me. Seems like a new low in the scam industry?
OR maybe they were a dollar short & on low budget this time, to hire their own actors to do the heavy lifting, lol. Who knows?
Once people get to know how this artificial frontier is being fabricated, it gets harder & harder for bad boys to earn their living.
Unfortunately, they're not stupid but rather inventive.
I heard there was a major ransom-ware attack break-out recently. We have to be more vigilant than ever. Two very different cups of tea but..
Perhaps the two are related somehow?
Thanks for warning me from explosive payday scam.
I'll share this, to let other folks know as well, what we're dealing with.

Hey Henry.
These folks are certainly getting more and more creative. Just imagine how successful they would be if they funneled all these efforts and creativity into building a legitimate online business!

Glad I did some more research about Explosive Payday - after having seen there website I was curious, but as you, I could not find any real information what they actually offer. So good to know now:-)
Amazing that people are willing to do these things to scam other people. Stealing an official video and making it look like it is there product they are talking about is very low. Probably effective in many ways, and many people will probably not question too much when it has been on CNN. I am glad that I did still choose to do some more research and found out what Explosive Oayday is really about.
Thanks,
Mikael
Mikael, unfortunately scams will always exist. Normally it takes the authorities years to investigate a scam and. By the time the decision is made the scammers already fooled thousands of people and shut down their site.
