How many times have you been scam trying to make money?

[acurtsinger2]

i've been a mamber of two different sites that closed down owing me money...one owed me $63 qne one owed me $24.   that is a lot of money for someone with low income and it took me quite a bit of time and effort to build up to those $ amounts.  I FELT SCAMMED

 I am not sure if I have ever lost money trying to make it online, but I know I've come dangerously close.  The first thought that comes to my mind with any money making opportunity is "Its probably a scam". I read it once, twice, three times, five times, and still think its probably a scam but a well written one. If there is something still lingering in the back of my mind that it might be legit, I ask my parents, friends, boyfriend, etc, if they have heard of it. The answer is usually no, so then I go online. If I find a good number of bad reviews, I usually abandon it. If I find good reviews, I search my hardest to find a bad review just to be sure. If I find no reviews it actually makes me more nervous because then I don't have the slightest idea what I'm getting into. One of my research stops is the BBB, and though they have their own share of problems at least its some sort of standard to make comparisons with. And if after all that I am not clear about whether or not I should go through with a program, I look at whatever money I have and ask myself if I'm really willing to lose it if this doesn't work out. The answer is usually no, so I finally dismiss the idea and go to something else. Repeat process anew.

Yes, unfortunately, I have been scammed several times over the years.  However, fortunately, it has not really been that many times compared to the number of years that I have been trying to earn money online.  I just try to accept the good with the bad.  Not much you can do about it anyway.  I do belong to some sites on a really longterm basis that are still active and still paying consistently so I figure anything I make is a blessing.

  OMG! When I first got on the internet, it was ridiculous how easy I was parted with money. But over the years I have learned alot. If it sounds too good to be true, it DEFINITELY is. You have to work for money. And nothing is free these days. I do a lot more research before I just blindly give my money. This economy is too tight to waste money.

Yes, I've been scammed a couple of times.  It sucks really.

I was scammed recently and I hope no one has to go through what I'm going through. I wish I could give you the name of the company, but I guess it's forbidden on this website.

I've gotten scammed a couple of times. Once I signed up and paid for a program that entailed putting classified ads on the internet to get people to buy ebooks, but then the website shut down and so there was nothing to sell. I've also been scammed by Pyur Water (not a money-making thing, but still a scam), they had a free trial, but even though I cancelled before the trial was up, they still sent me another shipment and charged me, and they would not accept returns. I did a lot of research about this comany, and not only do they scam people like that, they also sell fraudulent water that does not have the minerals they say are in there, and soem of their water was even found to be contaminated with E-coli.

I never really got "scammed" but have just tried a bunch of companies who did surveys and offers like this site but never got anywhere with it. They didn't have as many free offers like Fusion Cash and I ended up signing up for  a dozen different trials and spending all this time trying to cancel them and they didn't have enough offers for me to do to get up to the amount to cash out. It just seemed like a big waste of time and I was very skeptical at first when I started with Fusion Cash, but I'm so glad I stumbled across it. I cashed out in just a few days and halfway there to cashing out again.

Oh yeah and one thing I've learned from doing all of these different things online is that you shouldn't have to pay ANYTHING to get started. Now it's up to you if you want to give your credit card out to do certain offers, but if you do it should be something you are actually interested in. But what I love about this site is that I got started right away and have made some extra money without having to use a credit card not one single time. So if a company is asking for money upfront to get started, more than most likely it's a scam or a company that you will not get anywhere with.

I have lost more on scams than I have made!

I haven't been scammed yet--unless we count the lottery in Nigeria type e-mails that no one believes anyway.  I don't pay to join a website, and I'm careful what I do on a site until I have gotten a pay out.  In other words, I don't take cash offers that cost me money until I am sure of the site. I also don't try to refer to sites unless I know they work.

It's all a learning process.  The old saying is true "If it sound to good to be true it usually is"
