You come across more of these ads promoting amazing money-making opportunities, just by surfing the internet. You are given examples of people who are making thousands of dollars a month and you want to join. All you have to do, they say, is to surf specific websites and you will get paid or get points (credits) which you can redeem for cash.
It sounds a bit fishy, but they explain that they are making money from the advertising posted on the websites you are surfing – the advertisers pay them every time the website gets a hit.
Yeah – you can see the logic behind this. Best of all, most of these money-making temptation proposals come with an autosurf option – so all you have to do is register and keep your computer open at all times and make money while you sleep. It sounds like easy money, right?
That’s exactly what it is, but not for you – just for the scammers, as they charge you a registration fee but never pay you a cent. If any of this were really true, why would anyone ever work?
How to avoid: beware the fake testimonials, Mrs R of C. ( “how I made $5,000 in a week”) only made 3 bucks, and that was by writing her own and 24 other testimonials.
