I do not know where there are so much scams sites appearing on the internet, I guess the money must be pretty good that is why people keep coming up with sites like to to make a bundle and then leave honest people who join their program frustrated and not able to make money. I am wondering are we really making them rich?

Yes, we are making them rich, and they make their money from poor people who can't afford it but think they can make easy money. I would like to see scammers, and phishers in jail.

You are right, it is almost impossible to catch them, but the way technology is going, I hope all scammers get punished. From what I read, the people who can't afford it are usually the ones getting scammed.

Well the point is there is no law on the internet, and guidelines are not able to be enforced. I think we can proof them to be cheat and scams before we can put them in jail.

I hope there would be some guideline setup to protect the people, the problem with this the internet is worldwide and no one country can claim they own it. So the scamer can move sever from country to country and there is nothing one country can do about it.

YEs, we are!! They are getting rich, without having to do anything, but playing psychological warfare on ple!! haha =D As long as there's greed in us, most of us will be hooked with the temptations of easy money.. As such, who can we blame, when we cant control our own desires?? After all, those 'big breaks' does not come often, and most ple wont wanna see the opportunity slip away.. haha =D PLus the world is so big, with the ratio of greedy ple being almost 8/10!! Thus, how can scammer ever be poor?? haha =D

lol =D Thanks for that!! YEah, but good programs dun come easy.. By time we ascertain those programs as legitmate, we would have lost out alot on referrals.. Thus, in order to earn more, we cant afford to wait that long, right?? And since we dun wait, din really try to find out more, as such, we turned out being scammed!! At the end of it, no matter what, we, will always be the losers!! haha

kun2349 once again you surprise me with your great insight. I guess they are all masters of psychology, They are able to play on that greed factor and make us puppets to all the wishes. Well it depends how you see it, I have seen some program still maintain as good programs and they are still paying so if you were early and have many referrals then you would be earning pretty good income online.

I believe that the reason so many are starting up is that they are lucrative and if for any reason they feel heat they go and start another site up. They also have lures out there too. Just to get you interested. I they are the worst thing online. And they really give the lagit ones a hard time.

They don't care about anyone but themselves and the bottomline. $$$$ and more $. They don't know what long term is. They set up a temporary office and it may not be there next week.

celticeagle, totally, the legit site as suffer because of these scam site, and I wonder how much do they make out of it after so much efforts put into the website and all. I just hope they are able to look at the long term and all the reps of the admins go down the drain and that would be a one time effort.

No. No body could be rich by do fraudulent job. Do you believe in wise word Easy Come Easy Go? Money that you get in easy way would be easy to spent. Furthermore, business like that wouldn't exist for long time. Fraud business wouldn't grow fast and wouldn't become big business. The owner would never be rich man. They just earn small amount and then they will loss anything soon.

de_toya I guess they will not get rich, however I think the money is not too bad that is why they are not going to give up setting such scam sites. Yes they might earn a little now but they would lose more in the long run. I guess in the future people would keep away from program they introduce.

We learn everything in our life, including in online earning. Perhaps, everyone who earn online ever slip in their trap. But we learn from our experiences and heard from the others could avoid kind of this sites twice. Mylot is the right place to share this information. I am very grateful to mylot since I could get much benefits here.

I often ask myself that question. There are so many scammers and I have to wonder how much money they are making ripping us off! I guess they must succeed with their scams how they sleep at night is beyond me but they are out there and if the rest of us don’t take care we can easily be robbed of precious time and money. I imagine that they may make money but surely they can’t stick around for too long so they probably start again elsewhere with yet another fraud!

Personally I do not believe they start out as a scam site. I believe that eventually they are just not cutting their expenses and or profits, causing them to run. Run basically means they close shop and do not forewarn anyone about it. Having left the site up in the air means anyone who had not been paid thus far will never be paid therefore this classifies the site as a scam. There is a lot of work invested in the start up of any money making site with the intent to make a great deal of money, when things do not turn out that way they have no choice but to close shop!

Well there are real scams (scams starting out to be scams) and non-real scams (in that they tried to do whatever they set out to do but they end up failing and people labeled them as scams).

hardworkinggurl I guess that is the mode that most would operate, however like business in the real world 80% would fail in the 1st year, I believe it is the same in the cyberworld. lordwarwizard I guess some would start off to scam us, however I like to believe in the nature of humans are good and those are the minority.

I am also frustrated because there are plenty of scam sites in the internet. It seems we are making them rich.It won't be for those who join, then there will be no scam sites at all. It's about time for us who like to succeed online create a campaign against those scam sites. I am sad lately because there is a debate going on here on mylot whether readbud is legitimate or a scam site.

Honeybuttz1397 When we realise that it is a scam site what do we do, I think to dent on the admin we should spread the word and as the word get out more people would be aware and less would be cheated. I guess if they are making money more site would appear but if we are more aware then it is harder for them to make money.

I agree. Forums are created so that we can unearth our opinions and reviews about a particular website whether if it is a scam or legit.

Maybe, because why would they bother making up a site and then invite people to join. Maybe, there's really pretty good money on it.

vhings_88, actually setting up a site is not too difficult. however getting traffic can be pretty tricky. so why spend the time and effort if the money isn't good but I agree de_toya they would not be rich.

Hi iwrite; I think that you are right, that more often than not, these sites that claim to make one wealthy are not only a scam but is only the developer or rather the administrators that are making the most income, the cream of the crop. Perhaps sometimes it is only the very first few who can also reap a decent financial benefit from some of these sites as well. The rest are merely the ones, being taken and in return, lining the pockets of those at the very top so, please beware. Spread the word when you find a site that falls within the above description and just have fun. A great site to check on the status of such sites, where one can read reviews is www.imreportcard.com. Definitely worth the look.

Hi iwrite, Yea, I think you are right. Those scammers do make money cheating the unwary. But who is to know whether something is a scam? We can only try our best to steer clear.

I don't think that they earn a whole lot of money off of each I site. But even if it's not a lot, say, $20 per site, it will all add up. If someone makes 10 scam sites, he'll get $200. If he makes 50 of those scam sites, he'll make $1000. Imagine if he made a hundred or more of those!

I am not sure what you mentioned is true, goldenkagi However isn't it difficult to set up a site, promote it and then just to scam for $20. even if he has 100 sites, he still need to get domain and host and then still get people to come in before they can actually earn. I think the value is higher, however I am not too sure how much. for $20 I rather take a part time job.
