Let's Get This Straight

Weekly this site carries a warning discussion that runs along the lines of "is XYZBux going scam". All businesses are dependent on their customers. All online businesses carry a high degree of risk to the owner and to the investor. Getting rich online is mostly to do with hard work, luck and for a few unscrupulous people, con tricks. You cannot guarantee any financial investment that you make into an online site. If the business folds then you WILL lose your money unles it falls within a Government backed recovery scheme which the sites that people complain about on here do not have. Business when it is good rewards well. When it's bad - forget it....

Good advice Mr. Sir. My rule is, if they ask for money they must be dodgy. I have found one or two sites that I make small amounts of money on but none that will make me rich.

Online sites aren't daft. If it was that easy to make that much money then we'd all be millionaires and a loaf of bread would be £100,000!

There are always some people who forget that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Most financial investments can't be guaranteed, whether it's online or at an established business, other than government bonds. Even seemingly, well-established companpanies can go belly-up, making stock in them worthless. I think if a business sounds too good to be true...then it probably is.

Unfortunately, you're singing to the choir here. The people who need to see it, won't. I wish myLot had a program that would just delete those discussions automatically.
