Quite interesting, you might see those non - stop advertising telling people to sign up their programs which will guarantee to earn at least over $1000 per week, and you simply sit in front of you laptop and pick your own time to work. Sounds too good to be truth, and you might already know it is a scam. What is more interesting, similar ads translated into different languages in Spanish, with a guy speaking in Spanish and telling people how easy to make money. Then another ads I saw it in Indian; then in Chinese. That is amazing, how this scam network spreading out in different languages. As I advise other people, whether they understand English or not, do not fall for it. It is a trap, and it is definitely a scam.

Thank you very much for that advise. I am also careful with that and most of the time I don't want to believe in it as they are asking you to pay for the small amount but then only to realize that scammer is collecting money already. I am also careful in terms of paypal that it shouldn't be really scammed by others.

I seen a thing on Dateline and it is about some of the sites even posted here in myLot about promising you ways to earn a quick buck, and usually you have to invest a lot of money in order to get the information. These are all scams, and usually the people owning up to the sites are making tens of thousands before most of them are ever caught. They are even using Super model pictures, etc to try and lure you in on some of them. I would be really leary of any program promising you 1000s of dollars without offering you at least a glance for Free, because no where can you make $1000s without really working your butt off unless you're scamming someone.

I am sure that any person who is not a newbie will know that they are scams, no matter what the language. I have also seen them in portuguese. Stupidity spreads out as a virus I`m afraid, be in online or offline.

There are scammers all over the place. And on the internet it is more because of the vastness of the internet. We all know whenever someone says we can become rich within months, that is a lie. In order to earn money, wether online or off, we have to work for it. I have no problem working for money. But to make some extra cash online honestly does take more effort on our parts. But I find it refreshing and fulfilling

Scammers exist in every country and speak all languages. The difference is that internet makes these scams viral and they cross country and language boundaries easily. I know that there are several kinds of scams. One of them is the one you mentioned, but there are also all those mails that promise wealth in different ways, from lotteries to money that will be given to you because you are an heir. Pity!

I think there all like pyramid schemes. The only guy who makes money is the guy at the top who gets everyone else to buy in.
