OK, I got scammed today rebateprocessing.com and that is it, I give up. I have researched and researched and researched some more and I keep on sending money to bad companies. The problem that I am finding is that I can't work full-time from home I just need to earn a little bit of extra money. I compiled a list of sites that I have found that have legitimate work on a full-time basis mostly, some part-time and some that I am just not interested in they include: Surveys Mystery Shopping Get Paid to Read E-mails Get Paid to Hand out Free Samples Get Paid to Drive Wholesale Directory Data Entry/Typing I posted an ad on craigslist today offering this 29 page acrobat file to anyone that requests it, no money necessary, I have now made it my personal goal to prove that you can work from home and earn a good income. All I ask is that you let me know how you do and if the list helps you to make a small donation via paypal so I can continue on my quest. What do you think??? Are there any MyLot'ers who would like the document?

scammed - scammed~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~just a cartoon
I am sorry to hear that and I am a new one to make extra money on internet,so sorry I could not give more help. but I think it is important to stop pay money off . I never believe any website need to pay money off,and maybe there are some website is real,but it is really hard to make sure if it is a real good company. so always be careful to pay money off and you can earn money in some free website. I hope you will have a good luck. and best regards to you.

I've been scammed a few times myself, but have finally found some legit sites that pay, though most are investment sites. These days it can be so hard to know what sites to trust. The best advice I can give is do a search on the site before joining and see what others have to say.

Before you pay any money to start or invest in a business, I suggest you visit the the Better Business Bureau website at : http://www.bbb.org to do an initial check. It provides free information on more than 2.5 million organizations. You can do a Company name, address and URL (or website address) search and it will provide you with a Reliability Report. If you would like to create and sell your own digital content, you may publish through Lulu.com at : http://www.lulu.com Lulu.com has been a member of Better Business Bureau since August 2003. As at today, it has satisfactory record with the BBB. Hope the above helps.

I feel sorry for u...I'm here in internet business from quite some time and what I have experienced is that 90% of the sites which asks for money are scam they takes our money and closes for ever.I think their should be some online law regarding such companies who is doing such a kind of business.There are many sites which are giving u jobs for free why don't u go for them???

I am so sorry to hear the frustration in your post regarding your endeavors to become more successful ! But, please do not give up, instead take this advice: Try to avoid sending any money to any company that wants to publish your text pieces, artwork, or anything artistic, literary or visual, that could easily ear top dollar by interested parties alone. Let the public viewers seeking such things as articles for interest or pictures to show and tell or whatever make money for you. If a site requires any start-up fee, make it the least minimum you can get away with and use it to its full advantage for you ! Are you a writer or an artist or photographer? Contact me and i will send you some bonafide links to places that pay and provide quality representation of your content ! sharing the light, Erica, the Enlightenment Advisor,M.A. TranspersonalPsych http://www.enlightenment-psych.net
