Don't you hate it when a online job site offers you an offer so convincing that you will do anything to get it, but really in the end all you get is just links to other sites well welcome to the world of Bulls***T!
I was on the computer the other day I was looking for a online job where you can just sit at home and do your job, and then suddenly I saw an offer so convincing that i would do anything to get it. So I went to the site and wanted to read more of this so called job, and it said "How would you like to sit down on the couch all day testing video games on your Xbox 360 or PS3. Or maybe filling in paid surveys and drinking soda well welcome to paradise. So I immediately scrolled down the page to look were to sign up, and it said they are having a 3 day sale price of 49.95$ and the original price was 99.95$. So I immediately paid the amount off and signed up. So the next day I signed in i went to the members screen and went to gamin testing jobs, then I realized all this really was links to other sits just like this on. I was scammed I couldn't believe it I was SCAMMED!!!!

The first thing you have to do to get your money back is stop payment on the check and immediately notify the bank. Request a refund from the company immediately. File a complaint with the FDIC, the Better Business Bureau and Rip off report.com. Make sure to save all your transactions, you will need these to prove your case.
For free pre-screened legitimate job leads, check out Ratracerebellion.com. Next time don't sign-up for anything without investigating it first.

Oh , I'm sorry to hear that.. That's why precaution online is a must. Hmmm usually, sites like those that says "Sit down all day long doing nothing blah blah and you earn money blah blah" are usually scams. That's why I don't even bother to read those ..
I hope they get a bad karma. Never trust sites like that again :)
Take care now and happy myLotting!

Yeah...that's really all the Bull****s around! i'm in the same boat as you too.
And i get it twice! The first one is really scam. I've tried to raise questions to them but there's no response given. And now i've already request for refund (as said it's guaranteed 60 days refund), however i just receive a mail saying it's in process.
I'd like to know what can we do to these scams website or is there any way we can get back our money?
Lets dont trust these sites anymore whenever they ask for any fees, and try to look for the genuine ones, or perhaps can ask opinion from others who has experience is this field.

Ohhh I feel sorry about you, yes it's true whenever the site tells you to pay anything, this is absolutely bull@#!, ough!! i really hate that SCAMMER. Next time never pay anything to on a making money website, they all just a bunch of SCAMMER, if he really provide valid online jobs or any making money online he will be the one that give you the money not you give them the money. Good luck my friend.
