Scamming those who want to earn

Today I got yet another email telling me how I can “Make Hundreds Per Day From Home”. That was the “subject”. Of course, I can’t help myself even though I am more than aware that this is yet another get rich scheme and I’m on another spammer’s email list. 

That of course didn’t stop me from opening the email only to have it say “Make Money While Drinking Coffee – Click Here”. Ya right! I never would “click through” because you know that can only get you onto yet another list so why take the chance. I simply hovered over and got the “primary” email address (minus the scumbags referral link) and went to see for myself. I found pretty much what I expected.

Here’s what I earned in my account today!


These sites are partly so insidious because they tell you just enough to fascinate you. As skeptical as I am, I still find myself fascinated with the hype that these guys spew and as you know I’m not quite that gullible. One of the things I pride myself on in fact is that I’ve never gotten caught in one of these traps online but that doesn’t mean that I’m smart necessarily, more persistent and more than a bit lucky. I am really tired of these sites that promise to tell people how they can make hundreds of dollars a day by setting up a website and loading it up with garbage and then selling products that they may know little (or nothing) about. It doesn’t quite work that way.

No joy in mudville


The problem with these sites is that there are so many of them that you could literally spend twenty or thirty hours a week tracking them down individually. Not only is it time consuming, it’s downright depressing! Years ago, someone told me that those who can do and those who can’t write about it ….. wonder what they’d think of me writing.... Nonetheless I’m going to provide some “generic” tips for avoiding these types of scams because they are everywhere and while there is SOME legitimacy to their claims, the fact remains that much of the “information” they are claiming to sell you can be found for next to nothing. Not to mention, with some careful planning, you can create these income streams on your own without falling for these supposed “guru’s” techniques.

The problem with these sites


The biggest problem with these sites is that they are everywhere. Nearly all of them promise you a 30 or 60 day money back guarantee. One of the challenges with this is that (a) they almost never have a good contact name on them, (b) there is seldom a telephone number and (c) inevitably you are going to wind up being told that all refunds are processed through ClickBank. Unfortunately, what will ultimately wind up happening is that you’ll have waited too long!
The other big problem with these sites is that as I mentioned in a prior post, they are getting smarter. They now know that most of us are going to type “scam: name of scam” into the search engine. They are buying not only (name of scam.com) but they are also buying up “scamnameofscam.com” and “reviewofnameofscam.com” so that you definitely are going to get fed a line of bullshit garbage when you think you are getting a legitimate review.

The REAL bottom line, just don’t do it, do NOT buy these packages no matter how good they sound. When you try to leave the website you’ll probably see something like this: Yes, I deleted his name. Run, don’t walk – run quickly and don’t look back. At some point, I’ll show you some options for making money through affiliate marketing legitimately and it won’t cost you a dime to try any of them! I’ll show you some of the sites that offer free information, where you can learn how to do marketing on your own and while you probably WON’T earn $497 a day doing any of them, you can take satisfaction in knowing that some scumbag bogus guru didn’t get your money.
