With current economic events rapidly spiraling downward, you can expect a glut of over hyped, pyramid ponzi style scams to hit the market offering hope to desperate people. These schemes will be typified generally by making outrageous claims that you will make thousands per month while doing practically nothing. It's the same old bull that gives Internet marketing a bad name.
Stay away from them.
Anything that doesn't tell you that you need to work (just pay money) is a scam.
There are legitimate programs that can help you earn an on line living, and all of them tell you that this is not an overnight thing - it takes time.
Do your research, prepare well and invest in something educational.
Stay away from the grab for greed programs aimed directly at your emotional state

This is an excellant post. There are many scammers out there and we do have to beware and do our homework. You are also right about not working. There is great money to be made on the internet but its not just sit back and wait for the money to fall from the sky. It is very rewarding to get paycheques from online ventures. I do quite well online and I love what Im doing. It is tough work but I am reaping the rewards. I wish you luck in your venture.

Thank you for posting this. Pyramid scams are illegal, and anything where you have to pay first in order to get paid is going to be a scam. You don't pay your employers, after all! It doesn't make sense.

absolutely you can't warn people enough about scams. they are so plentiful. and the same company will pull out and resurface under a different name. they are very sly and have no conscience. people need to beware of any job that promises money for little or no work.
