Hello Lotters, better yet get a debit card that has interest in it. You know I had this experience once believing in these Network Marketing or Pyramid something back in the past. almost fooled me but some how i hesitated. Experts reviewed that it's like a personal bank account but it can be doubtful. I feel sorry for them believing in such scams and getting fooled by people like them. people would even make speeches to you while they are convince you to join them. Stop joining this kind of business networkings, they won't work anymore in this financial problem that many investors lost their money..

I know that a lot of scam companies are lurking around us, but dont speak like all network marketing companies are like that. Personally, i am with a network marketing company for almost 6 months now and i am so happy with my earnings from them. just a tip: *Before joining such, make sure that you research first the company's background and reputation (don't judge and speak if you don't know what you are saying) *Make sure that the money that you'll give will be for an exchange of products (i mean good products) equivalent to the amount of your money. In the end it would still be your decision. Just for those people who are against networking company, please let people hear first and let them decide for themselves. You don't know, maybe they would like it and will help them in their financial problems. Just let the people see the opportunity. I'm not arguing with you, just my thought. lol

I agree with you. I am not in any network marketing but have observed that it worked for some mainly because they have working products they can promote and not just an empty scam. It is always best to do one's research and not judge based on hearsay.

Helo rubrub,sorry if I want to speak like almost everything is scam or turing scam in the end. if online sites can turn into a scam, how much more if it's the networking companies. you are from the other side and got lucky, that's something I'd never going to understand, most specially those who had been a victim. maybe you should tell that those who were victims of the scam, I for one, will not join regardless of it's legality. btw it ain't funny either. It's not easy to take your word for it, some sites even uploads false legal papers or documents just to make their site look legal or legitimate.

I also agree rubrub! We should make a research on every networking company that we want to join. We should bear in mind that we could not get rich quick because even big and famous networking companies would require us to sell their products in order for us to prosper. Getting rich in a few months' time is possible with hard work, but just waiting for the money to grow on its own is a big joke.

With the news of economic crisis recently. your right something good to be true is actually a false one.

We met thru friendster. We made some discussion there related to national issues. Thank you for inviting me. It is because of your effort in convincing me. I wonder what happened to the lady whom you invited along with me. Going back to the topic, well, I feel sorry about them. Many people really lost alot of money. They have lost even those that have not yet earned. Many people loaned from the banks and left their home as a collateral.

That is correct but putting your money on banks does not even beat the inflation rate of the country. If you keep it there your money will definitely be eaten by inflation rate. There are other legitimate forms of investment that you can actually put in our country. One is stocks, Bond and Mutual Funds, they have a higher rate or return but of course the risks are greater than the banks of course. But then if you would just put your money on these double your money scheme, then I guess the best option for you is to invest it safely on those legit and available forms of investments we have. The returns may be slow but it will surely and safely get better results from these. Although banks are supposed to be risk free they are not immune to becoming bankrupt too and you may just lose your money there either by inflation or the bank running out of money.

I have nothing against banks in fact I am also a user of it since my payroll goes through them. But I think if you really are serious about making your money work for you, you should not put it in the banks. Putting them on it would not really grow your money that you can safely say it is growing. The interest is so low that in a year's time you cannot really make sense out of it. This times Philippines has grown matured in terms of investment opportunities. There are many ways to do that legitimately and much safer than investing it in fast double your money pyramiding schemes.

Hello Rsa101, Well so far we have deposited our money to that of the most popular and being abled ones. some depositors should realize the trends of a bank, if it's not showing any kind of financial statement online, then there goes the trouble. since Union bank is the cheapest way to get online earnings which has less fees compare to other local banks. Have a Nice day.

Don't forget the bailout of banks in the US and Europe. The euro is hurting and the dollar isn't at strong either. Banks can go bust and thank god, I have a relative who works inside to keep up with the buzz.of course, she wants me to open an account with her bank but my parents already have their money on that. Besides, I usually stick to one unless that bank makes a fool of itself.

Hello Louievill, I don't know why they are still up after all these years, don't these people realize that with the economic situation now, it's impossible to have a growing income from network marketing. People shouldn't be fooled by this easy win scenario. with online earning, you don't need to invest money just to earn online, i feel sorry for those victimes. have a nie day.

scam - All scams and thrives on people GREED!
I don't trust any investment schemes that gives big earnings for your money because if this is true they will never have to ask anybody, they can just go and borrow the money from the bank and pay much lower interest(pure common sense). These things are all scams and thrives on people GREED! If you have big savings, invest your money on stocks, bonds, or mutual funds than putting it in a bank. Interest now on saving and even on time deposit is so low, that your money end up with lesser value because it was eaten up by inflation. Have a good evening. Ciao!

Hello Romzee, That's the scary part of investment, but I didn't really realized some people had to loan money from banks just to invest in this risky network marketing activity? hey, can you educate me a little bit on putting money on stocks? I've heard you loose a lot of huge money if the trade isn't looking good at all. but I surely like to try, but not networking.

If you really like to know about stocks you must attend a seminar about it. There are free and paid seminars you can attend to. Citisec online provide free seminars on new investors, you can try visit their website. Absolute traders also conduct technical analysis on stocks but this is not free, try to visit their website too if you're really interested. I think Philippines Stock and Exchange are also conducting free seminars.

It is sad to note that there are so many scams online right now. It is really frustrating. Yet there are so many who are become victims of such. The thing is many people are looking for ways to earn especially that the economy is really bad. What is important is to check out thing before joining them and investing on them since 99 percent are really scams. They are just there to take your money and later on they are gone.

Not only are we getting offline scams but we also encounter it online. So yes, instead of investing in those kind of thing, they should better save it in a bank for future use. I really wonder why people still do get into these kind of scam if they don't have money why do they have to invest into something that they are not sure if it will work.

Hello gaize12, they are surely deceived by a lot of people out there. getting a savings account is the best, am glad my brother didn't fell from this schemes because he was too smart for it. they should avoid networking at all cost with so many corrupt people that are taking advantage and exploiting others for the sake of money

When a business asks you to deposit money on a bank account, somehow it becomes doubtful, Letran. With all the scams that is happening there is that doubt always when there's money involved in the transaction. I am thankful i found Mylot.

I hate network marketing because first,I'm no seller or sales person. Second, they tell you will not do anything but sell but you will something. It won't stop unless people get a good way of making money and living. With network marketing, it offers the easiest way (as they say) to make money in one scheme or another. If you're desperate for money, you might be enticed to join. I have a savings account and I forced my mother to let me have one. I applied to one of her banks and got accepted. Nowadays, that account is only for emergency use only. I have my own money and I have some amount invested in the local credit. I learned too much for my mother and aunt not to place my eggs in one basket. good end, I could make a big foolish disaster just like a banker. what I don't understand is why people keep poring money for these programs It's hard to imagine that you will gain a certain percentage. Eve business owners or entrepreneur got trapped. I don't know if that is a testament to greed or sloth.

Hello Jeanneyvonne, I don't think "selling" is considered not doing anything, that's actually a lot of charisma at work to pull there. they think it's just easy money, this proves that the education is our people when it comes to this kind of financial manner is very much lacking. the fool who got away from all of it must be so rich now, that he can hide as long as he wanted to until the issue would die one day

Yep, even the rich one says that they lose money joining in MLMs. Also, to earn there, you will still need a lot of effort and the products will most likely be overpriced. I had a friend of mine lose money in joining there. But still, I wouldn't suggest getting a savings account. I would highly encourage everyone to invest! That is how money works and investing is the main use of money. But of course, invest wisely. Do not invest in get rich quick schemes which are too good to be true. They are a sure scam. Much like how it works in the online earning platforms.

Hello AgentGulaman, Some of those products are from abroad, i wonder how and why they are selling it in the first place. though some of those products are organic, it's still expensive and no budget kneen person would ever think about not buying your products. as far as I can remember, when you sell something, that would likely a turn off to the people you are going to talk to.

Yes, I think that is a very good advice. If one is going to have a bank account, it might as well be a savings account. That's the way to make some money from interest, though the amount may not be big.
