I have been scammed so many times by companies that broke promises or made me pay up front just to get started and then nothing.. Has this ever happened to you? I would like to hear about it.. Kristy Owner of MothersWorkAtHome.com

That is normal on the web. You have to learn this steps: read about program on different sites blogs, before you gave them the money. But better to join programs where you don't need to invest your money. Join only to the sites people are saying or have some kind of proof that they were paid. I got scammed a lot on my "web start", but now I learned a lot and now happens barely!

True. Whenever I tried to search for an online job just to earn extra inome and sign up in some sites it always end up a scam yet i was not scammed even before for i am very much careful whenever they try to solicit me after having filling up some informations on the registration process i never proceeded anymore for i feel like its not worthy.Hope this ones different from the other site that i get into.

One time online. I had paid only one dollar to 1Dollar Randomizer, but the following day, my Paypal account was locked up because Paypal said that it was an illegitimate business dealing with scams. I couldn't recoup that dollar back then, so I steered clear of 1Dollar Randomizer. And i urge you to do the same if you don't want your Paypal accounts locked up.
