Do you get/ Have you got lured into online scams that have cost you money?

Have you purchased or gave your bank details to these sites that claim if you 'purchase this and that' you can make thousands of $$$ a month and so on. I was just wondering. I have lost around $400 within the last few months, I lost my job and there is such a lack of jobs lately I haven't been lucky to find one. I already am in debt, I have insurances to pay, I need to pay rent and so on. My savings have almost ran out and I really am in a rut of what to do. I googled to make money online jobs, some were really convincing and had testmonials on their site saying things like 'Thank you for all the help, I have payed off my mortgage, Bought luxury car, and go on holidays every month so on..' So foolish me believing it I put my details to their site and what do you know, they took my money, no package came to my address and I am worse off than when I began! Have you had similar experience, is there any REAL FREE way to make hundreds online a month?

I am so sorry that you were a victim of this. I have been successfully earning online for years...and I have never paid a fee or an upgrade with my own money. It doesn't make sense to pay for an opportunity to earn. There are many legit methods that you can use to earn online with...all require NO money to start up. You just need to decide what YOU want to do. I am always happy to answer questions, you may contact me here or at my blog or on my forum. Talk soon

I have been in this online money making since a long time and most of the sites i have joined are free to join and though many sites did scam me, i haven't lost any invested money on it as i haven't invested, though have lost enough time working on such sites on hopes of getting some money form it

When I was young at the earn money online industry I went into upbux. I was about to spend something around $150 to get membership and rent referrals. One or two days after I decided that I will invest (I didn't though) it turned scam! Thank God! Real Free way to make hundreds? Yes. Does it require patience and hard work? YES! You can try affiliate marketing. But as I said, you need both patience AND hard work..

Ask them for a refund,which I just did today... I think under $100 is acceptable,but more than $150 is ridiculous. If you can learn computer programming and get a centificate,I think is possible to have your own business online or work at a local company at home.
