Hi, the date above is just a random date, i don't actually know since when they do it, just wrote it to sound like one of those TV commercials, but the question is, aren't you tired of seeing sites that have scam written all over them? You know... those adds that just pop out of nowhere "Hello Google user we can, double your money for free, to join us you just need to donate us the money you want to see doubled and in 48 hours we will give you twice your money, join us so we can rip you off!" Don't you get annoyed by these sites, i would like to read your thoughts on this.

I think their mega annoying. I try to sign up for legit sites and it becomes more of a hassle then it really should be. One person on mylot suggested the idea of making this stuff illegal and quite frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing that happen. I would like to get paid once in a while. I mean I shouldn't have to research every nook and cranny of a website to STILL take the CHANCE that it's legit and that I won't get ripped off. And alas, I still get ripped off.

People who do this really do make my blood boil. The saddest part of this is that there are some honest people on the Internet. However, you would never know it, because most of them get buried in a sea of deceit. The Internet is many things, but it is a tool for dishonest people to rip off people. Of course, even without the Internet, you could argue that these people might have found different ways to rip people off. There are times where it is hard to find honest people in the sea of dishonesty. The biggest lesson is to never give anyone one cent, unless you can get paid out without paying anything. If you have to pay something to make money, then an alert goes off in my mind. It is far likely to be a scam site with something like that, when you have to spend any money to get anywhere and let's face it, you will get nowhere. The problem is there are a lot of scam artists and unfortunately a lot of gullible people. It is sad but unfortunately true.
