Don't fall for the make money online scam

Hi, my name's Smith,
and I just wanna share with the newbies out there about the importance of knowing your e-business model before you venture into it.

Here's the deal, there are millions of searches typed into the Yahoo! search engine with the exact keywords "make money online" every month!

This goes to show that there are indeed many people who are looking at ways to make money online on the internet. But sadly, the results shown are full of promises that if you buy this, you'll make this much in the next few hours, or if you subscribe to this, you're gonna be making money, fully automated system and all, and you're gonna be rich.

Though not all opportunities are scams, I still think plenty of these claims are nothing but empty promises.

What I'm saying is, no one's gonna make you rich for a mere $97 or even $297 that you pay for the so called "secrets"

what they can do instead is, in exchange for your money, they'll teach you the ways for you to make money online, they can teach you what you need to know but you gotta work at it, no easy money there, but if it's a trutable source, then your money is well invested I'd say.

So, don't fall for the same old sales pitch that you're gonna be rich in the next 24 hours or something like that. Know your stuff, know what you need to know, and then seek truthful "gurus" to teach you, if you learn from the right people, chances are, you're gonna do the right business and achieve the right success hopefully.

If you need help, feel free to message me here. Good luck to all!

It's true that there are a lot of "make money online" in the internet that are not true but it is true that you can earn money online. I can attest you with that. But it won't be easy, you have to earn it in a hard way. There are a lot of home based jobs you may want to try. Try going to www.getafreelancer.com.

Never pay a cent upfront to get registered with a company always work on the basis a company finds you work and they take their commision. There are several out there all with good safeguards for freelancers.

I wish I could find a legitimate opportunity to make money onlien. I am getting into more freelance work online though in the graphic design field because atleast i can expand my folio whilst earning a few extra dollars. There was a time when I was signed up to all the paid for emails, surveys and web surfing programs. But I know look back and realise that it was juts a waste of time

To me, the problem is we hear to many success stories. For all the success, there is just as much failure, if not more. But, no body hears those stories, and they assume that it is easy to make money online. Therefore they go and see the easy ways to make money and then fail. I think that is why alot of people get frauded and scammed, instead of making money like they are supposed to.

Agree! But, there are people who actually were warned about the failure too, only they refused to believe it anyway. They only want to hear the good stuff and become greedy. At the end of the day, they still lose their money. Not because the don't hear the story, just because they only hear what they wanna hear. So, learn it the hard way, i guess thats better.

Well, people don't want people telling them that they'll be unsuccessful, even if it's the truth. They want some support! So they obviously think that they are right, and they will be successful, but in the end they would be alot better off if they just listened to who-ever told them that they wouldn't be successful.

Sometimes, i just have to bite my tounge and restrain myself from saying, "i told you so!" to these people. Not trying to be mean or anything, just that when you tried to warn them and they just dismiss you right there and then, you can't help feeling a little annoyed.

astros99 · #10 (**permalink**) 1st December 2006, 06:11 PM

Hahaha, that's true I guess. But think if you were that person. If it was your first experience, you would like to be optimistic and think that you're actually going to get paid. So, they think that. Now, if they keep on doing that over and over again and not get paid, that is their own fault.

maggots · #11 (**permalink**) 27th February 2007, 02:45 AM

hahahah true true, it's definitely their fault, and you should definitely say "told you so!" hahahahhaha

astros99 · #12 (**permalink**) 9th March 2007, 09:44 AM

Yeah exactly. I think people need to pay more attention and realize that not everyone that does something on the internet is rich. More people failed than succeeded, and they have to remember that. If you really want to make a lot of money, you must work hard. Nobody is going to hand you thousands of dollars for free.

A lot online scams that offer huge promises and dollars are scattered worldwide. Nowadays, money laundering is very much ubiquitous. Some may have experienced reading mails that narrate stories of people who gain millions or billions of dollars in a period of time. These emails are just bait to get your confidential information that may result to theft identity. Earning millions or billions of dollars may sound good to be true, but don’t ever believe this. It is recommended to take some preliminary investigation before jumping to nasty decisions, or else you will end up in bankruptcy.

All these e-mails are trying to do is get your confidence up and they want you to think that it is really easy to make all this money, and they hope that you fall for it. I always remember that nobody is just going to give out free money, so if they gaurantee alot, you either have to work hard for it , or maybe its a scam.

Alo the thing is that I have read that there are more scams in this money making business online than there are some legitimate websites . Also i have seen numerous people selling ebooks on some things like "how to make money with gooogle" all that is there in those ebooks is that adwords and adsense explanation and nothing else , and that information is freely available at google.com and many blogs , so they are really cheating people .
