These day's many people are getting attracted to "work from home" advertisements isn't it? and many people are becoming soft targets for scam sites and it's really strange taht people are ready to believe when somebody say's -pay just one time fee of $100 and earn$3000-$10000 per month easily...if it was true, then everybody would have become milionaires withoutdoing any hard work isn't it? but, people are not ready to work hard and they want huge money for doing nothing and that is why they have become easy targets for scam sitesisn't it?

I've been researching these "work at home and earn thousands of dollars a week" online jobs for awhile, now, and you are right, they are all scams, people taking advantage of people who won't, or can't work outside their homes. I'm unemployed at the moment myself, having a hard time finding work, as I'm not real qualified for alot of jobs, being a stay at home mom for so long. I am taking computer classes, and searching for work. In the meantime, I was hoping to find something legit just so I could pay my rent, and it's pretty discouraging what's out there...I don't want to make thousands of dollars a week, I just want enough to pay the rent and a couple of bills, and have a little left over to rent a movie sometimes, or help pay for gas..stuff like that. It's a sad world we live in, as there are sincere people who want to earn their own income in an honest way, and there are others who exploit that desire, who exploit the desperation of "poor" folks. And yes there are the lazy people, and if they are desperate enough, they will get scammed. Hopefully they will learn from it the first time.

I have just started a similar discussion to this. I think it should be illegal to ask for money to sign up for these things, unfortunately there is no law against that. I often come across these worl from home things where it says how much momey you can make and you "only" have to pay a certain amount. If I applied for a "real" job, I wouldn't be expected to pay anything for them to employ me. The point of getting a job is so that the employer pays me. Anything where I have to pay first is ignored. One thing I find really silly is that if I had enough cash going spare to pay it towards one of these scams, I would more than likely, already have a good income. I know there are people who get so desperate that they would do absolutely anything but I do often wonder where the victims get the money from in the first place if they are that desperste to make money. There are still plenty of people who are prepared to work hard but there are plenty of reasons why someone would look for an online opportunity to make easy money. I just don't understand why people would waste money on these scams if they have no good reason. Those people are just lazy.

yes its true that these sites are just showing up in great numbers but you know, those sellers are getting rich not because of doing something majic, they are getting rich because of selling their products to these soft targets.

The only problem with these programs are peoples lack of experience or knowledge. I do believe some of these programs are legitimate offers. But many people are not aware of how to market them. I see a common complaint here in mylot all the time. I can't get any referrals or my referrals are inactive. MYLOT isn't a scam. I have been paid. I do have referrals but most are inactive. So...if I am having trouble with mylot it would only make sense that I would not be successful with a program I have to pay for. I just need to learn how to market and where to market before I can even considering joining a paying program. SO, I do agree, people can make money here if they are willing to work hard. Simply paying for a program isn't going to accomplish anything. I do agree there are plenty of scams, but I think a lot of people call companies SCAMS without lifting a finger.

Anytime an opportunity offers ridiculous payouts like that you can pretty much guess only or or two people are making money and the rest will loose their money. That being said, there are legitimate opportunities out there that will earn you money if you are willing to put in the effort. I am involved in a couple of them and have no problems.

desperate people seek desperate measures to alieviate their suffering. Greedy people will pray on the desperate and gullable. Instead of blaming the weak and unwary why not lets start rounding up the sharletens, cheats and scammers instead, as these are the ones causing the problems in the first place.

Some people do make money working from home but it still require to work instead of relaxing on arm chair in front of tv. I know a few of friends who make money working from home by being freelancers. They bid for job, if they win they get the job, complete the job totally from their own comfort at home, deliver the finished job and get paid. Most of my friends do the freelance jobs which are related to web design and translation. I tried to be the freelancer too but have yet to win in any job bid :(

I think that whether someone is ready and willing to work hard or not, we all want an easy, happy life. So of course it's easy for us to fall prey to scams. The main thing that's saved me from doing it myself, methinks, is probably that my mother is so frugal, so I was brought up to have a hard time parting with money unless it was for a good reason. Therefore, I do much research into a program before joining it, and I've never fallen prey to a scam that wants money upfront, because I would never pay money to make money unless I had heard 100's of reports that the company behind it was legit. And even then, I probably still wouldn't join unless I saw proof of payment from said company. My main rule of thumb is, plain and simple, just don't ever join anything that requires you to spend money upfront. Yes, there are some things out there that do pay, but the thought of losing money (or the possibility of it, anyway) is too painful to me to get involved in that sort of thing. I think that if more people felt like that, less would end up wrapped up in these scams.

Everybody will like to lead an easy and happy life and no doubt in that and that doesn't mean that you can invest blindly in anything isn't it? one has to work out a lot before investing his money or time anywhere or else chances of getting scammed is easy isn't it? as you said, even i won't join anywhere where payment is required to join and as of now i am not ready to waste my time for working in other sites as mylot is legita nd i can spend my time here without worrying about payment here. Anyway's, thanks for responding

Yes, you're right. There are many websites who have promised to earn $ 3000 - $ 10,000 per month easily -- without any hard work. It doesn't make sense, anyway especially when you have to pay a fee in order to find the work. I have also seen commercial TVs that have promised such things. People have been brought into the fantasy and they love it. At the end of the commercial TVs, they'll ask us to subscribe or buy any training package.

Yes that is true and sad. But people who are doing these can't be blamed much. The reason is that, everyone has need for money, and very less among the regular internet users are expert enough to fight scams. The scam sites displays too attractive offers to resist, and people falls in the trap. They can't resist. Who would not want to make an extra bit of money, if they are getting visually lucrative offers !! There should be some sort of awareness program to help these inexperienced people, so that they do not fall prey.

i have been receiving emails everyday in my yahoo account about work from home programs. sure. they look good and seems that the offer is overwhelming. but whenever i see at the bottom of the mail saying about joining fees or one time membership fees, etc., i just can't believe it. they are offering people for jobs to work for them and yet, they wanted a joining fee? sounds not right. and so, i never even tried one of them. i'd rather earn money the hard way than become victims into one of these scams.

All internet sites that pay require you and your referrals to work on them. There are many people who do get taken in by scamsters, and pay before they receive payments. Here are some links that earn money for you, but only against hardwork: http://www.freewebs.com/jaylal/index.htm

Maybe in some cases people might show their hunger for more money and it is understood but in some otehr cases it is crazyness when we see people falling into traps like "pay less amount of $100 , a one time fee and get $10000 a month by working just for an hour a day " and to believe that is foolishness isn't it...
