I don't know if this is a scam, nevertheless I found this program very missleading because you cannot see from the program title, and most importantly not from the sales copy what the program is about. I'm talking about ecurrency arbitrage that is an affiliate program. A guy named Paul Jenkins teaches you how to use Adwords, and PPC, and make a few dollars here and there from affiliate companies. Because it is missleading, there is a high return rate because people expect something completely different.

Adon: Beware when a business opportunity is trying to entice you into buying NOW by saying something like "...this product will only be available for $29.97 until March 31, then the price will go back up to $58.97.." This is a red flag! I've seen several websites like this and the only thing that changes is the date! One time I got duped by this trick and saw that the deadline date had already passed. I contacted the scam artist and asked him to please make an exception for me as I was sending in my payment today. Of course, the crook agreed and the next day he had extended the deadline date on the site. The crook is not going to reject you buying the product at the "hook price". This is the intention all along and the "you better hurry up and get in on this opportunity now at this price" tactic always works on people who are taken in by the "business opportunity" by making them think they have to rush to purchase it. He got me! It works the same way in retail establishments when they put things on sale for a limited time. But at least you know if you rush to Walmart and buy it before it goes off sale, you've got the product you wanted. It doesn't feel good when you've bought into a supposed web based business opportunity thinking like this....and it turns out to be a scam! Been there done that! If you see this tactic being used on a business opportunity website, take my advice and click that X in the upper right hand corner of the window. Adon
These aren't necessarily scams. These are marketing tactics that a lot of marketers use. The say buy now at xxx price before this date when the price will go up to xxx to get you to buy! Not because they're trying to scam you but to get you to buy their product so they can make money!
Now depending on what they are selling, it could be a scam, but just because you see someone using this tactic does not automatically mean they are trying to scam you. I know of quite a few legitimate and well-known online marketers that use this same tactic to sell their product.

more signs of these scams
1. Check if the worth of your payment comes on recruitng other people. Now you got yourself some pyramiding thing going on there.
2. Of course a scam will try to call itself a job. But if it asks you to pay up for some additional info, nope, you'll be better off away from this undertaking.
3. Bubbles and crashes come when promises of fortune are fast and too easy. Nothing comes out of nothing - and that goes as well for money. So if it's too good to be true, it is.

Hey guys,
A lot of very good tips here. I would like to add the following:
1. Money back guarantees are good - but just because they say they offer them doesn't mean they will be true to their word - thieves aren't necessarily honest! That's why researching these 'money making products' is imperative - talk to people, visit forums, google the product name etc.
2. Product reviews are not always what they seem to be. And the same goes for forum posts. So just because they say something is really good - even after they've claimed it was a scam to get your interest - doesn't mean it is. See if you can contact these people and ask them questions to show they really do know the product they're promoting.
3. Negative product reviews - how often do they turn around at the end of the damning 'scam' report on a product, only to recommend another one (perhaps a little more expensive...). There could be a hidden agenda behind a negative review.
These are just some points to bear in mind. Generally speaking, there are good products out there to get you started or give you some fresh ideas.
And to avoid getting flooded with information, I'd recommend sticking to one or two until you've learnt all you can from them. With too many on the go, you end up going round in circles - at least I did!
Good luck guys - and avoid those scams!

As an attorney, there are certain things that I look for in any scam. First and foremost, is there a real entity behind the company. In other words is there some link to a real physical address and person. Second, how long has the entity been in business for. The longer something exists the more likely it is to be legitimate. Third, what is the record of complaints against the entity via any and all avenues. Fourth, what is the relationship between the entity and the product sold. Fifth, has there been name changes of the company (suggests fraud and complaints in the past.)

so basically, stay clear from "work opportunities" that promise the world and a pot of gold, without doing any real work at all

Almost every product that promises money is a scam that wants your money. I learned that the hard way but now i found a business working for me and everyone has posted great information to look out for scams. Money can only be made through hard work and dedication, unless you win the lotto

There are ways to make money online that do not cost you ANYTHING to start. You just need to be willing to invest your time to look for them and to take action when you find them. This game really comes down to who wants it most and is willing to make it happen.

I've been doing business on the internet for awhile and I find that there are very FEW online scams. Most of what people claim to be a scam is really them complaining because they don't really want a business but just want to win the "internet lotto". Most want INSTANT rewards when they should be looking at this as a marathon and not a sprint!

Hi there
I just thought I would add something here.
It's not so much that this is a scam but rather that it is very misleading.
I tried one of the "Get paid for doing Surveys" opportunities and signed up with the required membership fees.
Unfortunately almost 80% of the refered Survey companies did not support the country that I am from. The few that did used PayPal which does not make payments to the country that I am from.
So for me .... well sadly no it did not work out.
Hope that helps someone.
Thanks

My methadology is quite straightforward. I try to look at what the top people in their field are doing & look for the least expensive ways, were I can get in the methods they use to attract new customers. I always look to add value to my business & keep my own costs down at the same time !
Oh great lens ZiggyZoo & very well written, this certainly is a marathon & not a sprint business. If it were that easy everyone would down tools & work from their computer !
WEBSITE - PRODUCTS - TRAFFIC - MONEY -

Thanks for the compliment. Must say i battle a bit with this article writing.
I have only been at this for a short while and yet to make a $1 but I am sure its because I am not working hard enough (battling to
get articles out ) so at this stage blame it as being a scam. This is all so new to me - really going through a learning curve.
All the best

I have seen perfectly legitimate and popular affiliate programs described as scams in articles - just because the writer didn't make it work for them.
You have to be very careful when doing your research that you are not led astray by these kind of posts just as much as the scams themselves!
The best way is to find some experienced, successful people and find out what they are doing.

I was suddenly bombarded with emails from Vemmabuilders this week. I told them I had no memory of signing up with them so please stop. Which they did.

Has anyone heard of a company called KFG Corporation. It sounds like a mail monitoring company but I have a few questions.

Hi there
Just two things I would like to cover so please indulge me
First, ruthdfw, you seem to be in a bit of a quandry about what online income system to go for. Doing research into the various programs, such as affiliate marketing, work from opportunites and making money online et al, is vital. May I just suggest though, as a newbie myself who has done a bit of research, that you have a look at my link below. It may just help you along you way into finding something that you would like to explore.
Ok, secondly, something that was brought to my attention and I thought I would give you all a heads up. Someone I met at a dinner part the other night told me she got an email about a program called Multiple Income Streams by ForexEnterprises (aka Nick Marks).
She got caught up in the hype and paid the enrollment fee and basically it was nothing but an ebook naming work at home opportunities and a bunch of ideas put together. All of which I might add that you could get from going into forums like these or just reading up on a couple of free ebooks. A total complete waste of money if ever there was one.
In fact you can read about this if you search forexenterprise scam and read the article under : I tried that. It shows exactly what a rip off it was.
Sadly too, she tried the email contact to ask for a refund but kept getting bounced. Eventually she phone the number given and it is not even the number of the organization but they did say she would get a refund to her credit card within 7 working days. This is still yet to be seen. I have a feeling she is going to battle to get that refund.
Now why didnt she just use My Online Income System I wonder ? tut tut

Hi,
Anyone with experience with my-data-team.com???
I asked them if the companies supplied adresses where to post links but they never answered, so obviously we must find ourselves.
But..........how can they say pay and start getting paid at once, when you dont know if you will be paid at all, depending on your ad that you spent time typing will generate a sale.
No job where you get paid for the actual job that you do???
