I have just joined this great program that pays you monthly to..... I am sorry I cannot do this to someone. If I just join a program I am NOT going to advertise it until I know for certain that it actually pays. I am not going to be responsible for introducing someone else to a program that does not pay, weather it is free to join or not since that would be wrong to mee to make them people waste their time like I am and not get compensated for it. I know that I am missing out on a lot of referrals this way but I just cannot do this to someone since if I loose out I loose out so what but if someone looses out under mee that is another story. Well this is my rant for the time being, thank you for hearing mee out. Please tell mee what do you think?

I agree How do you know if it works until you try it? And the only way to make it work is to tell other people to try it? But you don't want them to try it in case it doesnt work. Catch 22.

Oh i understand that feeling. Thats why i dont use programs referal systems. If i get scammed on it, then so be it, but i would absolutly hate to be the reason someone else did too. It makes me feel guilty just thinking that i can cause that for someone else.

It is the moral fiber like this that makes mee proud to be human but apairently most people lack this moral fiber and draw people into the scams that they themselves get into. I could never do this as it seems that you could not either I just wish that everyone would have this moral compas but they do not. Thank you for the response and have a great day!!

I feel the same way about referrals. I did not refer my best friend here until I had proof for myself that this was for real. And as soon as I received my first payment and knew it was legit, she was the first person I just had to tell about it.

Good for you! I wish more people felt the same way. They are in such a hurry to get money that they don't even wait to see if the site is honest or a scam, and they certainly don't stop to consider that they're wasting other people's time when they hype a site. What finally happens is that people become suspicious of all money-earning sites, and of anyone who wants them to sign up as a referral.

It is a shame when people allow the persuit for money to compromise their ethics as if ethics do not matter when money is involved. I hate it when people put the persuit of money above everything and everyone else. I would rather be and have been flat broke and kept my ethics as I know that a person is only as good as their word and if your word is no good then you are no good as well. Thank you for the response and have a great day. Keep on with the good moral fiber as that is what will one day make us great!!
