This is a very humbling experience for me, but I guess it had to happen sooner or later, right?
10+ years online exercising due diligence and someone finally got me. I'm not allowed to copy and paste yet and since I'm posting my warning everywhere I can, I uploaded my story here:

99% of the internet money making programs are scams. For that matter never join the one that pays only FREE. If you are not interested at all dont join thats it.
After 10 years, and finally got scammed. That should be a very paintful experience. Can u believe it after 10 years thats damn sure long.

I'd have to disagree with you there Frontier. There are many legitimate program out there. I recommend several in my income team builder program. I check them all out before I even make a recommendation. This particular one didn't make the cut. Had I not waited 20 days, I would have gotten my money back as well. There's actually two lessons to learn from my experience here.

very informative and a good warning to all of us working online. scammers always look a victim because of your nice write ups and experience it is a good warning to me. so far, i am scam only once because of the promise to give me referrals if i give him the funds but later on i found out that it was a scam. i learn from my mistakes to trust easily specially online.

I actually don't really put any money into anything to earn. I treat what I do online to make money as a real job. In a real job, you don't have to invest money. With that being said i'm even reluctant to give out my paypal account to some places. I'm very very cautious with the programs I join, and I do extensive research before even considering a site. I find it personally best to just avoid any kind of site that requires me to pay up front. I'm sure that there is some legit ones out there, but is it really worth the risk to figure out which ones? Anyways. Sorry about your hardship! At least you've learned from your mistake i'm sure, and you'll be much more careful when it comes to paying money to earn money!
