I am so mad at myself right now. I know better, but I keep hoping I will finally find the "magic" work at home job that will actually allow me to stay at home and make a decent living. I tried this IP Machine that was supposed to be so easy to use and make me lots of money. What a joke!! well I guess the joke is on me, It's not at all what I want to be doing, but I tried it only because it said there was a money - back guarantee, well now I'm arguing with Plimus Sales to get my $20.00 bucks back!! They are telling me to go step by step and I'll be fine. I told them its not for me and I want a refund, now they are telling me they have to "investigate further" before they can give me a refund!! I filed a complaint with Paypal and I'll just let them deal with it!! Paypal is very good about getting your money back if you have problems. Has anyone else had these type of problems with work at home opportunities??

well to be honest I have been in mlm for over ten years and the site I use is my full time income,
but there is a lot of sites out there and very few people actually make it in work from home web sites
it takes a serious amount of will power and that is if you have found the right online programme for you.
Good luck.

so feel free to drop me a pm anytime
and good luck if you decide to try mlm but beware its a lot of hard work but well worth it.

I've never actually bought one of these programs, mostly because a lot of them require you to sell things and I'm not good at those. but I admit to finding them appealing - they are very good at being convincing. They look like hey, if you just take a risk, you could make some money.

i never believe in those kind of sites... so i never try it before... not even once... and i am not interested anyway... i believe that there is no easy money in this world and we have to work to earn something... especially with so many scams nowadays on the internet, i doubt it even more and will never join those type of sites... good luck... hopefully you will get your money back... take care and have a nice day...

Hmm.. It's always true that regrets come later.
When you said that you got suckered into purchasing ANOTHER online work-at-home scheme, this gave me the idea that you've gone through a lot of those. I guess it's different when you're a first time user and a person who's been in it for a long time.
I think we are all like you in some ways. We can't help but still dive even if we know at the back of our heads that the pool has mud instead of water.
But, well, that's humanity for you.
Better think a week or two next time.
It pays to have no money, because temptations such as these won't be easy to grab.

thats a bummer. i am sorry that happened to you. i hope you are able to get your money back. i have never tried an IP machine. but it sounds like its probably not a real way to make money.

You are not alone, many of us...especially those of us that are new to the net are
drawn to those programs that promise the world.
But I've learned, that the majority...the greater majority...of these programs make money for the owners of the programs ONLY!
Making money on the internet takes planning, research and elbow grease. Unless you have an Internet GodFather, there are gonna be a lot of evenings spent 'burning the midnight oil'. Persistance is the KEY, don't give up...find your own niche and invest your funds in your own programs and projects...8o)

Be wary of any sites or on-line jobs that are asking you to pay money. Those usually are scams. You can easily research these sites on-line to see if they are a scam before you give any money. If it looks too good to be true it is. I get stuff sent to me all the time. I go to the very end and see how much they are trying to get out of me. I love the ones where they are trying to act like you are getting a special discount and instead of paying $500 they will give it to you for $100. But act now cause this offer is for a limited time. A couple months later I get the same offer saying the same thing. I almost got conned into rebate processing but have yet read a article saying they were a good way to earn money. I guess I am glad I don't trust those things especially on-line. I don't have a lot of money in the first place for all these get quick schemes.
