Let's start a list of sites that DON'T work...or worse yet, take money from you, or never pay out...

I haven't tried any yet but i have seen a lot of offerings on the net where they asked for a membership fee to be able to have access in it. i am very much interested to hear from those who have been scammed too so that i could also avoid such! this is a good question and it would be very helpful for those who are honestly looking forward to earning an extra income in the net. hope to see a lot of responses.

that is what i am hoping to do...every day i see so many that sound great...y'know...people charging $100 - $2000 to try their surefire success scheme...i tried asking a lady once who kept promising me $1000/week that if she let me try it and it worked i would pay them the $$$...but if they're not willing to do that i'm not interested!!

haha, yes...sense would be just as good as money sometimes!! i am working on a few things right now. I do know that if I ever get a system down pat that works i will share it with people without charging! I would love it if I could help myself and a so many other people who need it too...

So far I haven't been scammed by sites... well, there are many that I haven't reached cashout on yet, but if they don't pay me, then I will call them scammers. There are many sites that I have quit with earnings still there because it was impossible to make minimum payout. The only scammers I have come across have been on mylot. I did get paid by this person, but it was a pathetic amount of money for the time I spent doing the "job". I quit after a week. Another person I met here on mylot promised me $1000 a month for doing what she suggested, and then she disappeared. She showed up a couple weeks ago and responded to a post I made about her being a scammer. She told me about all her misfortunes, children ill, husband has a brain tumor, etc. Now, this could all be very true, and if so, I really do feel very sorry for her. But in the age of the internet, it's impossible to know. All I know is she made me sign up for all these sites under her and has reaped all the benefit without doing anything.

I am so sorry to read what happened to you Stereo Diva. Although, we can't be sure that she scammed you, it sounds pretty fishy to me. One thing that I know for a fact is that one reaps what they sow. Some people completely lose all sense of their conscience when it comes to money and that is very sad.

it is unfortunate that we can believe the people who say things don't work more than those who do...even if they had good intentions...its a shame we have to be so cautious because there are so many scammers out there we can't trust...thanks for your response!

The worst one that I have encountered yet is InBoxdollars. They are a joke, but I am still hoping that eventually I will get the money that I have earned. I have not made it to payout. Either way, once I reach thirty dollars, I am done with them. Another one that was very disappointing was Yuwie. I worked hard enough on that sight. It seems that all that is happening is that people are falling for the scam and recuiting others to do the same. Those are the two that I remember have taken me for a ride.
