I was just looking at sites to make money online when I thought of a scenario. What if you come across a site that you think will work, sign up with minimal information, give your PayPal account but it turns out to be a scam. What is there to loose that may harm you. This hasn't happened but it something that was on my mind.
Thanks alot.

i have experienced this before but nothing big really happen to me... my paypal account is still secure and my personal information is not being jeopardized as well... so i don't think you have to worry so much about this... take care and have a nice day...

Thank you for letting me know that there isn't anything that can really happen.

The two things you will have lost: is all the time you spent on that sight when your time would have been more productive elsewhere. Then there is the supposed money you earned while you were there.

That's what I realized. If you haven't given information, you can't loose information. Simple as that.

Hi themoneyblogger,
When we are trying to earn online that itself is a game of chance. So we should be prepared to waste some of our time on some sites which later turn into scam or they may shed us money. It depends entirely on the site owner whether he will continue or not. Never think anything is stable here in online.
It is really not much of pain for me when I have not invested any money, yes time invest will go in vain and we need to be prepared for that when we are trying to earn online. Since we don't know anything about the site owner we cannot be rest assured of our money there. Sites which are running for more than 2 years will have less chance of shutting doors.
It is better to invest in such kind of sites, as every one will have their own game plan. It is better to invest time and try to make a foundation for residual income like article writing etc.
Life is itself a risk, and never invest money which you cannot afford to lose in any online program.
Happy Living

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation of the topic. I would much rather loose my time than money or even my identity. I think most free sites are legit because they don't want anything from you upfront. So I will continue looking for real was to make money.
Thanks again
