Approximately $750 in the following sites
1. www.xangti.com - a real blade company promised data entry
2. makemoney everyday (not sure about the site address)
3. A survey company which collected $49.99 for giving addresses of survey sites with full of promises which never works
4. Own a web site - Every month $10 for the last 1 year and 3 months
I have now decided not to pay any money to any site.

These sites are called fly by night service and no one is really capable of taking legal action. There is another scam site (of course I had not paid any money here) it is www.rotator.com. It is a autosurf site and when you turn in your computer on automode in the night with their downloads, by night, the username gets changed and someone from the company will be using my computer to down load something. As a result, the internet ISP has charged me $500 for additional downloads for 3 months, which of course I did not pay and referred the case to cyberpolice.

Thats really bad. Thanks you mentioned about it. I heard about the site but never knew that it would be a scam. I now try to join only genuine sites (after being scammed many a times)
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope other too will benefit from this discussion.

Its a big amount. I know how u must be feeling. I lost around $400+ during the past 3-4 months. Yes, you should not put any money from your pocket. As far as the site is free, join and try earning. But, never pay a site.
Its really bad that there are so many here like me who lost money. I hope that this discussions come to everybody's help.

I have lost a good amount, well a good amount for me. I've lost $550 to StudioTraffic, if anyone remembers it. That site seemed so legit at first that I thought that if I keep on investing more in it then I would get a better pay back after that. But when I tried to withdraw from there, I think I was withdrawing around $400 from there and then they had a site problem and then the site was gone so I was pretty upset about that. From that point on I stopped joining any other sites like those and then just recently I started joining them again since I wouldn't mind making a little side cash but now I think three times before investing money into a program or a site, just have that feeling what if I loose more money again so I just want to get paid from the sites that I have joined which will regain my trust in them.

I can understand your situation. I feel so cheated when a site does something like this. What I say is never give your money. What you have earned is earned, don't lose that. That's what I learned so far. I lost all the money I have earned so far.
Just take care and do not invest anywhere particularly hyip. Cannot trust them.

Hi,
Yes we can earn money online. I earned a lot of money but I lost all of them to other sites which were scams. Remember one thing, Once you earn some money and you get it in your account, then DON'T EVER spend that money on other sites. Let money come in .. don't pay for anything on the internet. making money is really free and u can make it. I have come across all the scams and now I can recognise sites. I will PM u my blog. Good luck
