Have You Been Scammed Online?

Hi There, I think in these big world of internet it quiet easy to be scammed by anybody. Not a single person here would not have been scammed before earning some amount. I too was scammed on my very first investment. I saw a website which says that you will get 2$ per mail you package and send for this i need to pay 29$ one time fee. Initially i was excited but when my package came it doesn't contain any mail content but a marketing book which tell me how you can scam others.

Yeah I've been scammed online a couple of times and it really is disappointing when that happens. I was scammed on some downloadable books for like sixty dollars or so. I was also scammed on some products that I ordered that was worth a couple hundred dollars. It really is unfortunate that there is always people out there willing to take advantage of something beautiful but what can you really do about it.

I myself have not been scammed on the internet. I know there is atleast one way to make money online. It's called Associated Content. I've got proof, because you write and get paid if they accept the content you submitted. They have pretty strict rules, but if your content is accepted, you get over $2 a peice. They also pay for every 1,000 views you get every month. I've gotten a lot of money from this place, but you need to open a Paypal account.

I agree with sunstar402, i think for those who have earned online, a percentage of them must have been scammed before they learn. I have been scammed before too. I signed up at a online job site where promises me jobs online. However, after i paid the fee, it was actually a site that contains a list of companies trying to look for people to work for them. All those companies can be actually found online. So which means i am paying them to give me something that i already know? After that experience, i am more cautious in signing up for such sites. Now when i see such sites, i don't even bother looking at it.

When they say terms you should read them to make sure. That they don't take all or most of your money when they transfer it. If they still take it and it doesn't say anything about it you can report the site and they will track them down and fine the person, close the site and take his/her internet away, or send him to prison.

I have been trying to make money online for 7 years. Spent mega bucks and I think my income has reached $2.10. Although I know the major word is scam, I'm not real sure scam is correct. I'm sure you CAN make money with these programs if you created the program, are a marketing expert and have an extra $25,000 to $50,000 in your pocket to spend on promotion each month. I'm not even going to start trying to list all the companies I have "tried" because we would be here forever. BUT, I will say I learned a lot of good tricks to discover a scam (or undoable program) right off the bat. They all look alike, they all say the same thing, they all want money, they all have the same sob story, they all have the same testimonials (worded different) and none of them tell you the WHOLE truth on how to make money with their program. My advice: never pay for a program, period; always be sure you can get a refund if you do; GET YOUR REFUND as soon as you find out all the particulars of the program (which will be within 10 to 20 minutes of buying, make sure your free trials are long enough to actually find out how the program REALLY works (I especially hate those 7 day trials and they have to ship the material. Hello, it is absolutely impossible to receive, read and return the material within 7 days), be especially careful of top 10 researched programs (these people are only affiliates trying tosell a program they are not even making money on), and I could go on and on. Yes, I am still looking for a way to make money at home, but I do not pay for anything. I learned that lesson a long time ago. 2010 will start my 8th year search. Maybe someday I will get lucky and find it.
