This is what I am looking for. About two years ago when I first got internet I joined a site called Wealth Toolbox...now I have been without internet for the last 5 months and lost touch with most of my sites...what I want to know is that is there member of MyLot that might of heard or had joined Wealth Toolbox or has any information about this site or has ever been paidout from them. The thing with them was you joined and they made investment and you earned money from it and then in two years you would get a payout of what you had in your account with them...Looking for anyone with any information on this...Thank you for all your help.

I was a member of Wealth Toolbox. Of course (as I suspected at the time) it was just a clever ruse to get people to sign up to something - an email list builder, if you like.
Some months after I signed, the 'Account' page disappeared and I got an email saying that the guy was 'ready to go live with an exclusive training program that used his system' (or some such thing). The cost of the program was high (and more than I wanted to shell out, anyway). I have heard of such programs before. The genuine ones use previous market data to make some predictions about future trends so that you can judge when to invest and when to sell. Most use more or less sophisticated statistical techniques and it takes some skill to read the results correctly, so a 'training program' is not unreasonable.
My guess is that the guy was using the Wealth Toolbox '$50 free' ploy to (1) build up an 'opt-in' list and (2) to gain some credibility by showing how your $50 could increase using his system. I figured out pretty early on that the amounts shown would never be paid: the whole thing was unrealistic from the start!
I can't remember, now, what the new site is. I think I opted out as soon as I realised that it wasn't for me.
The long and short of it is that if someone offers you free money, always smell a rat! TANSTAAFL .... "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."

Thank you so much Owlwings. I was wondering about Wealth Toolbox. My internet has been off for 5 months and just got back online last week and when I went to check on my account with them it said that I was not found...and as you I just knew that I had been tooken for a ride..WOW the nerve of some to do something like this to people. Oh well I guess a lesson learned but if it were real the payout would of really been great. Thank you for the info on them.

I think someone blew up Wealth Toolbox. When I signed up for it, I kind of had this gut feeling that it was too good to be true. If it was a true site, I would be getting an estimated $300 next month. I'm sure that I won't see that money though.

Well, at least it didn't mean having to invest anything into it, other than time wasted to sign up for something, & maybe peeking in every few days. I did see your other discussion about your getting fed up with your old ISP. Just now, I got your comment in my email to this. Anyway, welcome back to the online world.
