Gifting Programs

I am considering getting into a gifting program, where you send a certain number of people a cash gift and then others send you cash gifts each level you reach in the program doubles the amount of money you gift and receive. I was just wondering has anyone ever done one of these before and what are your thoughts and was it successful

These programs always collapse at some point. You may get lucky and earn, but usually the only people who earn are the members who start first.

I am quite aware that this program will not last forever and it is also dependent on everyone doing what they are suppose to. I was just looking for someone who had actual tried one of these. I wanted to get their firsthand opinions

I would not get into this there is now way to make money with this you have to trust that others will pay you the same to make money. I am a marketer and you will not make money sending other people money because most people won't return the favor I get these chains in the mail all the time that say send me a dollar and i'll send you .50c plus have my 100 friends do the same wow 50$ for 1$ sounds good but its a scam. I have my own internet and office based business and if your interested I can show you how you can make some money pm me if interested.

This program is not from a random person who sent me a letter. You have to be invited into this program, the person who invited me is a friend who was invited by a friend. You are encouraged to invite 2 friends to join you in the program. This is not your typically letter chain letter scam. I receive those also all the time, and would never consider doing that. I am not in to sending totally strangers money. That I have never met or heard of before opening my mail that day

I have never done anything like this, because I am too skeptical that it would be a scam. Have you done any research on this before you start sending money? Do you know of anybody that has done it and actually received money in return? These are the first questions that come to mind when I hear something like this, and I wonder whether or not other people react the same way and try to find out first or just send money and hope that the program is legitimate.

I don't like to pay anything unless I have proof that I am going to get back my investment. I have seen what you are talking about, I didn't do it. I know it's not a lot of money, but I just could not bring myself to a risk like that. Let us know how you get on.

There is nothing in life where you really have proof your are going to get something in-return for your investment. Even if you go to work, you work 5 days from 9-5. You are not guaranteed a paycheck at the end of the week. They could close their door never to be seen again and there goes a weeks worth of time and possibly money. Business is all about taking some risks. You don't make money if you aren't willing to step out and take a risk
