I received a phone call from these people who apparently have great skills to tempt me to go into their business. Firstly the man on the phone talked about his company willing to help me to make money as they do make money as i do progress. "The amount of money they were saying to earn could be great" thats what he said..
The worst thing is that they ask me to pay certain amount which is about USD200 and i will get my website together with a package. Not only that, i was kidda tempted to another package with 500 extra to upgrade. Well.. quite scary how am getting influence by this people.
I dont know if I did the right thing to trust them in paying such amount of money just as investigation of a risky business. I feel like i did just throw out my money out of nowhere!
Give me some opinion, please, I need some advice.. what should i do? 800USD gone in one shot.. i am actually starting to get very scared.

I agree with Magtibaygom - my company is also similar to that. It all depends on what you are looking for - a real business or are you looking for a free ride. Nothing in life is free - A real business is not a lottery ticket, there is real work involved. Just because it is an online business doesn't mean you don't have to do any work. $800USD is actually a good price however is this business going to give you support and daily guidance to help you get started. You do have to do your research on anything that you are looking to get involved with - I agree don't jump in until you do some thorough research.
However there are alot of legitmate online businesses that will cost little to no money or on the other hand cost you some real start up money.
The effort it takes a person to sell something for $5.00 is the same amount of effort to sell something for $1000.00. The end result is how much money you will put into your pocket at the end of the day.
Have the desire to be successful and believe in yourself and you will achieve great things!
One of the biggest mistakes people make is listening to other people tell them something is a scam or they can't do it. Most of these nay-sayers would never take the next step to better themselves, and would rather sit around telling other people not to do it. That's why they are not making any money themselves!

Its a SCAM!! stay away from any site like that that asks for money upfront there are sites you can join without paying any money you just have to search for them.

Don't risk that kind of money just on the basis of a phone call! Get on the internet and research this company. Find out everything you can about them, and make sure that you know what you're paying for and what you would need to do to make it work. I'm not saying it's a con necessarily, but it might be a scheme that works for others but not for you, depending on your skills and personality. First rule of business: Calculated risks are alright, but never gamble.
