real scams!

 :- My sister's doing this "sell-to-friends" thing. It's sort of like Avon or Mary Kay, but it isn't either of those. The whole thing sounds fishy, and the check they sent her has a contractual-sounding paragraph where you have to sign your name to cash it. It says something like "By signing your name, you agree to accept the terms of agreement under penalty of contract document number 38405K" or something. Really, really weird... I don't trust it at all.

I only registered the sites that totally are for free. I never trust " you will be paid big as long as you pay only 49.99" sites so I didn't get scammed often but I still got something occasionally asking for investment on something sounding very profistable but just disregard that and stay away from real scams.

I have lost thousands of dollars to scams, but I have made tens of thousands from ones that sounded like a scam and weren't. I just don't use my own money, only what I make online with stuff like Fusioncash. You do need to keep in mind that almost EVERYTHING online that makes money is probably going to go poof in the night at some time.

It's very easy to fall for this scams since they seem so enticing and believable. They also use words and phrases that entice people especially if you are desperate to make money. The key is to use your credit card so if you do not receive the product or if you do receive the materials and they seem fake or a scam you can call the CC company and cancel the transaction.

Thankfully I have not lost MY money, I too am like Old Buddy, if I have to I spend my free money earned only!
But I have lost LOTS and LOTS of precious time...

Thanks for the info Oldbuddy.  I too have a few sites I invest in.  It's a learning process and a lot of fun!

I was scammed once out of $10 when I first started looking for ways to make money online.  I don't even remember exactly what it was.  Had something to do with processing some kind of forms.  The money was for "training materials."  That was the first and only time.  After that I only signed up for free ways to earn money.

I know that there are a lot of scams out there and people have to be careful.  It is cool that there is a site like Fusion Cash that restores faith into the industry. I am thankful that is legit and though it will not make you a millionaire it will provide us with some extra cash each month.  Thank you Fusion Cash.

Thanks for the heads up! I have never been scammed because i don't want to invest anything online (even a cent)..

Beware of the phrase "spend money to make money."

before you get into something online you should think about before you get into it.

i have been always very careful trying to avoid scams. Actually before I enter to FC i was feeling very insecured because of the identity thing.... i tried to find out many info about a company before I enrolled or make a purchase over the internet

This is a great topic, never been scammed myself because I have never invested any money on work-from-home supposed jobs.  My motto is "if it sounds too good to be true, then it's probably a scams"!  I only go for the FREE no investment type gigs.

  I hear you! Being on disability SSI I don't have any extra to get scammed with. Does that make me lucky or not? I guess I'll know some day when I'm too old to care.

I heard that this site is completly legit so I'm fillin out as many surveys as i can!

Stay away from fromhomedataentry.com.  They are a scam.  I wasted probably around $150 and several hours of time.  You're supposed to complete assignments which take 10-30 minutes each and you can cash out after 1000.  You do the math.  They never pay you.  They'll respond to your emails on a regular basis until it's time for payout.  Then they conveniently stop answering emails and phone calls.  Filed a claim with the BBB and they basically told me I was an idiot for trusting this company.

Stay away!!!
