Hello All, I have often seen people getting scammed and losing the money that they invested. Does that stop them from investing in programs which they believe as trusted. I used to be afraid of investing money online but then gradually I learnt, until you risk, you wont benefit a lot. I started investing and fortunately i have been earning from a few programs. I used to encourage people about joining such programs but then most of them are afraid of investing even though I was willing to show them the Payment proofs. So whats your mindset on this? Are you afraid of investing money in online programs?

Hi, winnie! :) It is indeed frightening investing your hard earned money to untrusted programs. To some, "to see is to believe", so you need to show them proofs. But still some people will still be doubtful as proofs may be edited, too. But still, like you, I did invested for an upgrade to a trusted site which I joined a month ago and was able to receive my first payment just this week. Lesson learned. We need to take the risk and be very cautious. Joining is easy to earn money online. But we don't want to waste time and money for doing so. Before we invest, we need to invest'igate! :)

I understand that. I had joined one program almost 3 months back and after I successfully withdrew my money, I thought of sharing with fellow mylotters along with proof but then mylot didn't like my discussion and it was deleted. So I did not have any option. I added you as a friend. So just in case if you would be interested in exchanging ideas drop me a message

I used to be but I'm not too much anymore. I just try to stay within a budget. Sometimes I don't! The trick is just to try it and go for it. It's easier than it seems. Just be careful. I would recommend you promote a gpt site like cashcrate: http://www.cashcrate.com/2223153 You can make money for referrals doing free offers.

It depends on the credibility of the program and their willingness to take risks. Some programs out there are scams and it takes a trained eye to distingiush the real from the fake. Then again, there is a security issue concerning the transfer of funds. Are people comfortable doing transactions in a website that is not SSL encrypted? Many factors come into play...
