HI All,
One time or others some of us are cheated by few online websites.. I myself was cheated by GoogleCashKey.com. where they will tell you that they will show very easy ways to earn money but actually not. The ways what they are telling were involved in money investing and mostly very time consuming. I know there are many other sites will do like this.... one another site is bux.in I got around $30 in that site but when i requested for money they haven't sent yet.. you know when i sent the payment request.....!!!! LAST YEAR JUNE...... still it is showing as pending... How FUNNY....
Do you have any such experiences......???

I never pay for anything on the net, except trusted sites, like ebay and stuff, that's the best way to prevent scams, good luck with it.

Unfortunately silverjapan, that's the best way to prevent you from making profit. You should put aside the whole theory of "I do not invest through internet".
You should try and learn how to evaluate a website or a webspace and if it has what it takes, then take the RISK and invest.
It is the only way to get something back. Now don't get me wrong. Investing doesn't mean giving 1000$ to a forex company ONLY. Buying your own domain for your own blog is ALSO an investment.
Cheers :]

Scammers do what they do to make money or just for the fun of it. There are a lot of weirdos on the net that we have to be very careful. Do not easily believe in big promises and get-rich-quick schemes coz there is no such thing. Wealth is built slowly,and if it happens in a flash, then there must something not legit to it.

There are many fraud sites these days... Almost 99% of them are not genuine... So we must be careful about where we are investing... I have made it a point, never to invest in any website. I go for only the free membership programs. If that site pays regularly, then only I think about upgrading my membership.. Unless I receive the payment from free membership, I don't think about investing...
I am really sorry that you've had losses through this... I hope this will never happen to you again.. Be cautious! Never invest online, until you're 100% sure about the site... have fun!

As far as I am concerned, I have been online for several months. For me, I have been cheated by many sites online,which made me so upset then.But with the time goes by , I just have little sense on the sites which cheat me so deeply. I just look for the site which is a real one can pay me the money. So we should be smart to distinguish the fake ones.

I have been working online for a while now, you can always encounter scam sites online. The only way you can avoid this is to do some research of the website first because usually those sites that has sign up fee are scams. People are doing scams online because they're thinking its the easiest way to cash in.

I can't imagine why those scammers don't know the rule "Thou shall not steal". It's easy to forgive if it's free but if it's not, then that truly hurts. Luckily I did not invest in those scammers that have somehow victimized me. Now, I do a little research before joining any moneymaking site. Should I decide to invest, my rule is "Don't invest anything you can't afford to lose".
