The dumbest investment was years ago before I learned to check out HYIPs to see if they were a good place to invest and earn money. I was new to these programs and thought that because the program was over 6 months old that it was a good place to start. I invested $500 and the darn program dissappeared that same night. But it was a lesson well learned. I did figure out how to use the HYIPs to earn as well as how to get the money to invest without using any out of pocket money. So I earned back what I lost plus thousands more. I look back now and I am glad I learned from this experience.

It was a long time ago. It was something called the Jackson Prosperity Program. I don'tn know about dumb, because I saw offer on a college school board. Send in $30.00 and they will send you 1000 naqmes to stuff in envelopes. I sent in my money. Never got anything. I contacted them several times (by letter, they gave no phone number.) I got nothing. Learned never to do that again. Too bad, too, because it wouldn't surprise me to find out there are3 legit enelope stuffing companys. But that just made a bad taste in my mouth. Now, I sort of have that same feeling about survey companies but at least I get them and I have made some money. Just not enough to pay the bills with, which is what aqll the web sites talk about.

$49 for an online goggle thing scam years ago. I thought i wasn't going to lose anything cause it said "...or your money back". Nope! They never gave me my money back. Liars and scammers! That's ok, lesson learned here and i believe they'll get a bad karma for it.
