if you were told that you will earn 500$ when depositing 50$ will you do it?

I don't know if I would do it. It sounds risky even if my friends say it's not a scam. The fact that it's only online would make me suspicious. If you don't feel right about it, don't do it.

This sounds pretty risky knowing that it's just an online offer from somebody you don't personally know. I'm afraid I won't dare gamble my money for it..well, yeah it's just $50 but am pretty sure as you deposit your money, they will have to ask some personal details of you..and that's what I fear the most coz we don't really know what they are actually up to. well, you were saying that I might have some friends who did deposit some $50 because THEY also have some friends who this isn't a scam...it has to be noted though that MY friends haven't actually gotten the $500 yet and has not held any valid proof that this really isn't a scam. well, if they would get the $500 in return to their $50 deposit, maybe I would reconsider the offer...it's better to be on the safe side.

I wouldn't do it, as most people know I'm not a gambler with my hard earned money. It takes a lot of hours to earn money and then I'm required to give a large amount of my earnings to Uncle Sam also known as the IRS. This is to high a risk for me to consider taking at any time.

Okay I am going to assume this was one of those questions that we think of just to start a discussion. Am I right? Well if I am not and you are seriously thinking about doing this, I say in a nice way, "You're crazy". I recently saw a special on ABC's 20/20 and they talked about that same scam. It's hurt alot of people. They had a really sad old couple that lost a lot of their money behind the scam. They claimed they thought it was harmless and worth the risk. But now whoever these people are had access to their personal account. All I can say is, think and pray before you do something that crazy.

for sure wont do it ...i really dont trust such things

No I won't, because it is too risky. I have a daughter to think first of, and 50$ is still money. And I'm not really in gambling, maybe in small amounts and in games. But not like that. I can't! (^^,)

No I would not. If they were going to give me $500 then go ahead and give it to me. Why would I need to deposit $50 first. To me that alone shows me it is a scam.

well, if you know the risks out there and are trying to earn some more money, you could do it. I spent $20 to egeneration about 6 months ago, and earned about $1200 now!

I deffinetly won't do it. There are a lot of scam sites out there, and until I don't see any proof of payment, I won't register, and deffinetly not deposit money.

There is no way that I would do it. I was referred to a place like that before and they made payouts every month. I was really desperate for money at the time and I really began to trust this company and website. I trusted them so much that I invested more than $500.00 with them so I would get a bigger return. As soon as I did that, the company and website went under and I lost everything that I had put into it. There is nothing that is for usre and if you cannot get a guarantee or something in wirting before hand. I would advise you to not even mess with it.

The risks are pretty obvious here: 1) There is no proof of past payments even if friends told you that it is not a scam. 2) There are too many online offers which are scams. 3) You are unable to meet or see the people giving the offer. 4) There is no guarantee that you will get back the $50 not to mention the return on investment. 5) There is no mention whether this is genuine or illegal, pyramid scheme, HYIP, etc. 6) No mention of how the money will be returned or paid back to you. 7) No contact number or physical address was mentioned or given. 8) No details of how the money will be invested. 9) Seems like a get rich quick scheme with inherent risks. 10) No credibility mentioned - Is it an established & legal organisation or just an individual giving the offer ? With so many risks involved, I am sorry to say that I will not part away with my hard earned $50. The risks far outweighed the profitable gains (if any).

No way. What's their reason to give you money. Just another internet scam even if the friends says it's not. Why trust someone you never see or meet. Would not be sorry.

I need to see proof but I'm that desperate to earn, I would probably try out the 50 bucks that I should earn on my own.. I don't want to use other people's money just by gambling it on it.. But I don't do offers such as like that on the net, I usually go for things that I'll receive for joining free since I've got nothing to lose there.. :)

If it would have been the situation I would not have deposited $50.It's just like lending money without knowing someone.Any smart man will never deposit it.A man depositing $50 without proper knowledge about it may be a rich fool who doesnot know where to invest money.Depositing money is just like foolish risk.Just hearing it from friends is not enough.Friends may be fooled by them.And of course there is no question of sorry rather I would be happy not to invest there where u don't know the people u are working with.I would prefer not to "gamble money"without being sure.

I would not even send $1. It's obviously some kind of Ponzi Scam. Consider this if it were possible to make 10 times your money, without risk, in a short period of time, legally, everyone would be doing it. Banks, businesses, investors... everyone! There is no such thing as something for nothing. Don't let someone rip you off by appealing to your greed.

No i won't believe any body now. I have deposited $100 once for an online data entry job but when the time for payout came they closed down the website and never responded to my emails.I was cheeted once and now i don't want to believe any program which askes to deposit money.

I will not go for it for sure. I do not believe there is such good things in the world, or if it does really happen, it will be of great risk. Without further information ,like how to make the money and when can i get the return,etc....But if you are just depositing to someone who you cannot trace them back in case you wantto get back the money, it will be too risky, you take the risk not only for the investment and also the person may get your money and disappear.

In this scenario it would not be gambling, it would be stupid. Please send me $50.00 now and in a year or so if i think of it I'll send it back to you with interest, maybe, if I think of it. I'll give you $500.00, not saying in what denomination though. My ancestors used beads for currency, very valuable. They say Olympians traded in seashells.

This is definitely a scam. There's no way that anybody can give you $500 for $50, if it's real business. With buying and selling stock, you can make with luck some 100% profit, but in long run, it's more like 8-15% levels. So, from where these guys can get the money? They have to pay their expenses, get some profit for themselves and they pay 10 times the money people invested. Yeah, right. SCAM.

I would not deposit $50 to someone I do not Know. A couple of years ago I invested $5,000 to put my business on the internet. I was to receive free banners for websites and have my website at the top of the best search engines. After 2 months I never received the banners and never even could find my website unless I put in the address myself. The owner of the business that I contracted with (Written contract) disapeared with my money and several other hundreds of people. I no longer use my money on the internet to promote sites. I would also check with the friends and find out if they have received the $500. And if it is only available for 5 days how long ago did they sign up and send their money? Alos why is the offer still open?
