Have you found a money-making scam on the Internet?

As a rule, most of us receive many emails each day which tell us that if we join their program, we can make hundreds of dollars a day. Alot of the programs out there have been reported as scams.

I am curious as to what program(s) have you discovered to be a scam?

Answer #1

I have!

Craigslist.com was my place of choice to search for a new job. I wanted to do something from home, because I have a weird schedule getting my Masters. I found an ad for “At Home Typists”. It said that if you Paypal-ed this email address $15 or $20 (I don’t remember – I blocked it out), they would send you materials you need to get started.

Well, turns out the “materials” was an email explaining how to put the same ad up on websites to get people to send you money. THAT was the job. Scamming people.

UGH.
