Frauds in Online Businesses

India
July 22, 2016 9:13am CST
I haven't tried many online jobs yet. But my recent experience with one such (captchaclub.com, a fraud), combined with what I have read online and even heard from people make me flinch from it now. I started captcha filling with captchaclub.com after watching 2-3 videos on youtube. For the last 4-5 days I invested some 20 minutes every day to fill up some 100 captchas and my earning reached 15 dollars. (They say, minimum payout is 100 dollars.) Now they are asking for 40 dollars to activate payment. On searching the net online by typing different key words, ultimately I saw a few negative feedback from the users. They even write that they don't pay. If anybody is doing it or planning to do it, I advise, don't waste your valuable time and energy on such stupid things. I have been really stupid!! Of course, I don't have any idea about other internet jobs.

@mammots Thank you very much. After listening to a few members in one my discussions, I changed my profile pic. And yes, as I did that out of fear, I chose a frog.

Sorry to hear that you have spent time working on that site but not getting paid. I have not heard about this site, thank you sharing this with us. There are some legit sites around, but there are also many scam sites. I try to be careful when I join any paying sites. It's good that you did not make the investment.
