Getting Fed Up

I am seriously starting to get fed up with all the online money making scams that I keep running into. I think that these people should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of innocent people in need of money. I have to ask: Have you ever been scammed? Have you found anything worth trying? Do you think that online jobs are a waste of time? Why or why not?

Hi, Even though your frustration is entirely understandable, there are as many genuine ways to earn money as there are (unfortunately) scams. I'm not going to assume you don't research sites before you join them, but if you don't or you've let it slip, please make sure you always don your investigative hat before joining a site (and please never part with your money unless you use the money you've earned from another program to invest). Saying that, I've had one or two non-payments in the past, but it wasn't for a lot of money (thank God). I don't think online jobs are a waste of time as I've managed to earn some thousands from it over the past few years. I've earned mine mostly through writing and I've been lucky to have had great clients over the years. I'm thinking maybe you should take a break from trying to earn online, think about what interests you, then go back after a couple of days or a week, start researching from scratch. Take care...

Do you want another old paying site? You can earn more than neobux.

I have been scammed a lot of times. I have found a few things worth trying, like MyLot. None of it is going to make me rich quick though. I could send you some links, but you will not make a living from them.

I agree! There are just too many people out there just looking for someone innocent enough to scam. They are not the least bit remorseful about scamming people either. Fortunately, there are some sites out there for us who are not trying to scam us out of what we earn.

I agree with you about the scam program maybe 90% to 95% are scam. Sound like you almost give up in making money on line.Don't worry you are not alone.But think positvely.Make your failure as lesson.Hey!....you cannot make money if you just sit and hope magic will come to you.Try join as many forum as you can.Get knowledges and skills first before you want to make money on line.

one of the first sites i started working on online was a gpt site. i spent just about all of my free time up there to win contests and mainly the year long contest. every month i would win contest after contest. after all the hard work and time i put into the site the owner just closed down the site and we never heard from her again. the worst part was i won the year long contest there for $250 and when it came time to pay she just left. i never understood why, since she has paid me more than that through out that year. anyway yes i have been scammed, but now i am just more careful with the sites that i join and try not join them unless they been around for a while, or have positive reviews. now my main source of online money comes from a gpt site, but i also work on several other sites. the best work at home job to me would be a virtual assistant job, they seem to pay more. i wish there was more that we could do, to stop people from scamming us out of our time and money. until then we just have to do lots of research and be careful with sites that claim we can make alot of money with little effort.

I have been scammed but I usually lose time more than money. If you get scammed its most likely that you did not do the research like you should. I think online money earning is a good second place to earn from. I want it to be a second income but for now I dont even have a first lol.
