Internet already growth rapidly in all aspect of life. Some are good, some are negatif. It is suck when you thought you found a good things in internet but latter, you just got disappointed. I feel that recently, I though I found source for income from internet but it is fake, it's a scam and I don't get my money back.
Do you ever have experience it?

I had never experienced getting scammed over the internet because I always do back check-ups before signing up or joining an online earning opportunity. Also, I don’t render to sites that wants their users to pay something in return to earn some profit. I always avoid such sites because majority of them are scam sites.
It is very important to know what you are dealing with and know the pros and cons on online earning sites, you can do back checking by reading some reviews online, and best read out investigation sites that puts a red-flag on such promise in online sites, in a way this can help someone avoid on being scammed online.

Oh yeah i think i have been scammed, quite a lot of times, but not with huge amount of money, but rather just a few hundreds in total perhaps. And these were due to some people who would ask for money when i happen to walk by, some asking for fare, or a money for them to get home...

being scammed online is formal. But we should be cautious next time. i once buy a software online and it is fake and hepless to my computer. From that time, I never purchase any software online. Just scam. Just for money.

I was scam but I didnt know much about internet shopping at that time , so I saw a good deal and I rush to take advantage of it but it was a scam site . I then made a lot of warning that year to people that was thinking of buying from that Chinese site . Never again did I get scam from anything online .

I think a lot of us who engage in online activities to earn had been scammed at least once. Either we lost money or we lost the time we had put into that site. We just have to learn from this bad and sometimes painful experience and be more prudent and vigilant when we sign up for other earning sites

Yes, I too was a scam victim a few times on PPC sites. When I accumulated the minimum payout amount, I was notified that a 60 percent was to be deducted so that I was not yet illegible to be payed unless I continue to accumulate more. lol

I think it was readbud.com that promised nice cash for the work I do, and I started reading their articles, but the payments got smaller and smaller and I could never reach the limit for payout... so I think it was a scam, and I was really devastated and angry... I hate deceptive people.

I've never been scammed before but I'm really careful and I never join a site that asks for money no matter what they say. I always join free and trusted sites. Sorry you got scammed I'd recommend before you join anywhere always do your research and never give them your money

To be honest, I think we have all been scammed - whether scam means conned out of money or not paid our online earnings.
You can read all the hints and tips you like on how to aviod being scammed and ripped off, but until you learn to spot the scam sites and gain experience, one should expect to get burnt now and again

I've been scammed once.From the first time before I signed up, I knew the site was a scam.Because they said they will pay you if someone visited the link and no signing up required.But I still sign up for that site even I knew it was a scam..I'm really expecting that at the end,I will be scammed.so that what was happened,I was right.the site was a scam.I'm not shocked about the site was a scam.

The Internet is indeed filled with many opportunities for scams and money-making. I have yet to invest any of my own money in either of these, but I've done lots of free entry activities. Of course, some of these turn out to be scams, as well. You just have to live and learn, and be careful, use wisdom and instincts as you surf along.

Ive been saved from Internet frauds, Cyber Crimes and all such stuff. The reason is I've read about all this before. Having information about a particular thing is the most important aspect. Ive seen people practically falling prey to Internet frauds. People, in want of money, have done anything, Like they are asked to invest some handsome amount of money in fraudsters account in the name of Processing fees, This Fees ---That Fees etc.... Once you pay them, they just go away with your money, and dont reply to you....
So mostly Internet jobs dont pay you....They are all Scams... But myLot isnt...
To earn money, You got to have a good Job! :)
