craigslist dog scam

Puppy fraud is one of the most common Internet scams - and it's on the rise, according to RCMP Corporal Louis Robertson, director of the Canadian anti-fraud centre PhoneBusters, which is managed jointly by the Ontario Provincial Police, the RCMP and the Canadian Competition Bureau.

It all started when Rebecca responded to an Internet ad websites like Petfinder.com or Craigslist for a free puppy, owned by a poster who said he could no longer afford to care for the animal.
Rebecca Aobaugh: "There was always a line in there that always got me. It was, 'please, please promise me that you'll send me pictures of my puppy.' So that kind of pulled at my heart strings and that's why I went for that."
She sent $200 dollars for shipping of the dog to Cameroon, Africa. No dog arrived. An employee of Delta Airlines told Rebecca this could be a scam.
Rebecca Aobaugh: "I said, no it's not a scam. How could it be a scam? How could people scam you for a puppy?"
Then came a request for an additional $600 dollars. She didn't fall for it and that's how she ended up buying this little guy.
The same thing happened to Michelle Waltenburg of Tacoma. She was on the Craigslist web site looking at the classified ads for pets when she came across an ad for a "lovely English bulldog puppy needing a loving and caring home."

"Something about the way they worded it jumped out at me," she said. "It was an adorable little bulldog puppy, just sitting there, looking at the camera. That's it. That's all it takes."

Michelle responded and got a quick reply from a James Campbell. He claimed to be an American working in Cameroon. He said he wanted someone in the United States to adopt his bulldog puppy, Suzy, because the weather in Africa was no good for her.

"And he said, 'No, there's no fee, but I need you to pay for the puppy to be flown home,' " Waltenburg recalled. "And I said, 'Oh cool. I can do that,' having no idea what was involved."

Waltenburg thought she was going to get a purebred puppy for free, as long as she paid for the shipping, which the "seller" said had to be wired via Western Union.

Michelle sent him $180. That's when the requests for more money started coming in.

"Unfortunately, there never was a dog and you're never going to get your money back," said Alison Preszler, with the National Council of Better Business Bureaus.

Some scammers ask for financial deposits in exchange for a dog that will never materialize, he said. Others send photos of dogs asking for money to help rescue them from famine or homelessness - a scam that was particularly popular after Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans.

PhoneBusters has received 168 complaints of puppy scams over the past five years, probably only a fraction of the actual number because people are often too embarrassed to admit they've been duped, Cpl. Robertson said.

Another Toronto woman who answered the same ad as Ms. Vanderbrug, on Kijiji, which is similar to Craigslist, said she felt something was wrong after she realized the puppy was too big to be a Coton de Tulear


Others are similar to the one Ms. Vanderbrug ran into, he said; sellers post ads for dogs they claim are purebred but they're actually mutts or come from puppy mills.

craigslist apartment rental scams

In the past, some fraudulent Craigslist ads offered vehicles for sale, taking descriptions and photos from legitimate ads for used cars, Watanabe said. “They were selling the same car over and over, and people actually wired money,” she said.Just be careful about renting an apartment off Craigslist. Don't wire money without meeting the landlord or rental agent.
For Leslie Dean, a single parent looking for housing, the online ad offer seemed ideal: $800 in rent for a three-bedroom house in Kahana near shopping, restaurants, beaches and golf.

“I happened upon one of those too-good-to-be-true deals,” she said.

She soon learned it was exactly that.

Responding to the posting on the free advertising Web site Craigslist, she began corresponding by e-mail this month with “Bello A.” He claimed to be a “successful petroleum engineer” who had “urgently” moved his family to West Africa for his new business before he could make arrangements to rent the three-year-old house. Explaining the low price, he said he was more interested in finding someone “who can promise us good maintenance and take the house like his or her own.”

After soliciting personal information, including her name, age, occupation, address and telephone number, “Bello A.” said he would “ship” the house keys to Dean once she wired an $800 “commitment fee” to him in Nigeria.

“There were the red flags,” said Dean, a West Maui resident who never sent the money but continued the correspondence for a few days to see what would happen. “I’m just one person, but I wonder how many people might have sent the money.”

At least one person from Oregon was duped by the scam while using the Craigslist Web site to try to find a rental on Maui, said Terry Tolman of the Realtors Association of Maui.

He said the scam has surfaced in recent weeks, with Craigslist ads offering rental homes in various Maui locations for as little as $800 a month. The rent usually includes “hydro, heat, laundry facilities, air condition and so on.”

The ads give addresses of actual homes that are for sale, with accompanying information and photos taken from online sales listings.



The online Web site allows anyone with an e-mail address to post free classified advertising listings in various categories, including jobs, housing and items for sale or trade. The listings are grouped by location.


“As soon as I mentioned the word ‘scam,’ they completely shut down,” the man said.

That offer was followed by a second similar offer from another “buyer,” which the man also ignored.

“People who lose money always wire money,” Watanabe said. “It’s an immediate transfer of funds and you don’t know who it’s going to, especially if it’s going out of the country.”

She noted that craigslist doesn’t collect information on buyers and sellers, unlike some other Internet sales sites such as eBay, which has cooperated with government subpoenas in fraud investigations.

In fact, the craigslist Web site includes the disclaimer: “Craigslist is not involved in any transaction, and does not handle payments, guarantee transactions, provide escrow services, or offer ‘buyer protection’ or ‘seller certification.’ “

Among tips posted on Craigslist for avoiding scams and fraud is the recommendation that buyers “deal locally with folks you can meet in person” to avoid “99 percent of the scam attempts on craigslist.”

Another craigslist suggestion: “Never wire funds via Western Union, money gram or any other wire service — anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.”

In the case of the fraudulent Maui home rental ads, Tolman said there’s no way of knowing where or who the scammer is.

“He could be sitting in New York City or on Molokai,” Tolman said. “It’s spooky how much information people will give away through e-mail to somebody they don’t even know.”

While the fraudulent ads haven’t affected the actual homeowners or Realtors, “it’s a distraction,” Tolman said. “What you would hate to have happen is for the agent to be showing the house and somebody trying to move in.”

He said anyone who lives on Maui would realize the rental offer is too good to be true. Anyone who drove by the advertised houses could see they were for sale, Tolman said.

That was the case for Dean, who contacted a Realtor and learned the Kahana house was in escrow — and not for rent.

MysteryShopLink.com scam

Mystery shoppers are paid to shop or dine out and then provide reports about the experience.
An operation that lured consumers with promises that they could earn big money as trained and certified “mystery shoppers ” has agreed to pay $850,000 to settle charges of deceptive marketing and contempt.
In exchange for a $99 fee, consumers were promised enough work to earn a steady full-time or part-time income as mystery shoppers. Instead, consumers received a worthless certification and access to postings for mystery shopping jobs controlled by other companies. Consumers had to apply for these mostly low-paying jobs, and had no advantage over anyone else who found the postings elsewhere on the Internet for free. Most consumers got no jobs and earned no money.
According to the FTC, the defendants claimed that MysteryShopLink.com was hiring mystery shoppers in local areas nationwide. The company ran help wanted ads in newspapers, and on radio and TV. Consumers who responded to the ads reached the defendants’ telemarketers, who represented that MysteryShopLink.com had large numbers of available jobs and not enough shoppers to fill them.

The FTC also charged five of the eight defendants – Mystery Shop Link, LLC, Tangent Group, LLC, and Robin Larry Murphy, Andrew Holman, and Kenneth Johnson – with contempt. The 1997 consent judgment barred Murphy from making material misrepresentations of fact while telemarketing, and required him to post a $100,000 bond.



Under the settlement, the FTC will collect the proceeds of Murphy’s $100,000 bond. The settlement also includes a $17.8 million judgment, which is suspended based on the defendants’ inability to pay. The full judgment will be imposed if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition. This settlement prohibits all the defendants from making misrepresentations in the future. As a repeat offender, Murphy is permanently banned from telemarketing, except for non-deceptive sales to businesses of telecommunications equipment.



The second settlement includes defendants Harp Marketing Services, Inc., and its principals, Aiden Reddin and Marc Gurney. Harp Marketing was the primary outside telemarketing firm that handled consumer calls, and thus sales, for Mystery Shop Link. This settlement requires Harp and its owners to pay $750,000 in redress and prohibits them from making misrepresentations in the future. The Harp settlement also includes a suspended judgment of $6.8 million, the total amount of Mystery Shop Link sales made by Harp’s telemarketers. The full amount of this judgment will be imposed if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition.



Both settlements prohibit the defendants from collecting payments from Mystery Shop Link customers, and from transferring or benefitting from information about those customers. Both also contain record-keeping and reporting provisions to assist the FTC in monitoring the defendants’ compliance.

USA 800 Telemarketing call center job

USA 800 officials announced Monday plans for a $565,000 expansion at its St. Joseph facility and an immediate need for customer service representatives to work at the area office at the Mitchell Woods Business Park. Most of the 350 jobs will be created within the next two years.


Telemarketing careers could be just a phone call away as USA 800 officials look to expand their St. Joseph facility and add 350 new jobs in the area.According to its Web site, USA 800 is an employee-owned customer care center that serves industries that include catalogs, insurance, travel and leisure industries.
Brad Lau, senior vice president of economic development at the St. Joseph Area Chamber of Commerce, said he’s pleased to see USA 800 expand in the area and offer much-needed jobs.

“They could’ve expanded anywhere, so this is great news for St. Joe,” Mr. Lau said. “Obviously this shows that the company has a lot of confidence in St. Joseph and the business community to expand operations here.”



Tom Davis, president and chief executive officer of USA 800, stated in his company’s press release that he’s been pleased to see growth throughout the past two years, which included adding 150 employees last year in St. Joseph.

“We’re excited about our growth in the St. Joseph area and know that the creation of these jobs, with health care and employee ownership benefits, will help the community in years to come,” he said.

legitimate work-at-home call-center agents

companies which claim that you can make money working from home by signing up for their system or getting their work from home directory. Unfortunately, almost all of these ‘opportunities’ are either rip-offs or scams.

Many big companies such as Hilton and AT&T are cutting costs by hiring home workers. Cable/phone and hotel companies usually hire home workers for customer service. Also, the TV shopping shows hire homeworkers to take calls. I have worked from home for more than 10 years. You just know how to find these jobs. Stay-Home-Income.com has a FREE list of hundreds of LEGITIMATE work at home jobs offered by well known companies. These jobs do NOT cost you money.

This makes it very difficult for stay-at-home moms and other individuals who would like to find a legitimate means to make some supplementary income from their home. Fortunately, there are some legitimate opportunities to fill positions where the location of the worker does not matter for people who would like to be able to work from home .

These at-home workers handle hotel and airline reservations, roadside assistance, tech support and sales calls. Retirees and near-retirees watching their retirement accounts shrink may find these legitimate work-at-home opportunities a way to earn extra cash.
AlpineAccess.com – This is a virtual call center in which you will be taking customer service calls from your home.
Alpine Access hires its agents as employees, both full- and part-time. The company provides subsidized health-care insurance for full-time workers, and part-timers can buy into the company's group health plan but at full price. There's a 401(k) plan available to full- and part-time workers. Applicants are paid for the hours they spend training, and the sole cost -- other than setting up your home office -- is $45 for a background check once you've been hired.



IntelliCare – This is a company that provides phone services for the health industry. They take customer service calls for services such as health plans, healthcare providers, and care managers. If you have any sort of background in medicine, you would that the opportunity to provide clinical customer service calls which could potentially mean a much higher rate of pay.


Hilton Hotels employs about 900 work-at-home reservation agents, while outsourcing companies such as Alpine Access, Arise Virtual Solutions and LiveOps, among others, hire agents to handle various types of call-center work for their clients.

And Alpine Access will hire another 250 agents this year, plus 1,200 in the first quarter of 2009, said Chris Carrington, chief executive of the Denver-based firm.

Carrington said that growth is driven largely by companies moving call-center operations back to the U.S. from overseas -- in part because wages and other costs are rising in other countries, but also because communication difficulties can result in customer backlash.

These jobs aren't for everyone. They often require some experience. For example, Carrington said Alpine hired just 2% of applicants this year.

And, while the flexibility is a perk -- in general, agents set their schedule about a week in advance -- many are part-time, with pay ranging from about $8 to $14 an hour, often without benefits.

You'll need to have a quiet space to work -- a barking dog or noisy children will present problems (the calls are recorded, so agents can't pretend it's not happening). These jobs often require equipment: A relatively new computer, high-speed Internet access, and a dedicated phone line.


Once they pass the test, Arise agents must undergo training for the specific firm for whom they'll handle calls -- that training costs another $25 to $200, depending on the complexity the training.

For Mary Ann Lawrence, an Arise agent for eight years from her home in Pembroke Pines, Fla., the initial hurdles were worth it. "It was a bit of an investment, but not huge," Lawrence said. "It was enough to make it where I was serious about it but not enough that if I changed my mind I'd be like, 'Oh my God, what have I done?'"

The 58-year-old, a retiree of BellSouth, said she works about 30 to 35 hours a week handling roadside-assistance calls for AAA. She said she "finds it rewarding to be able to help people."

And some companies require a fair amount of upfront investment. Miramar, Fla.-based Arise Virtual Solutions, for instance, requires its agents to be stand-alone incorporated businesses. That means paying an incorporation fee -- most states charge about $100 but it can run higher -- plus Arise requires applicants to pay $99 for an 18-hour online training course. While 98% of applicants pass the course, those who don't forfeit that fee, said Mary Bartlett, a vice president at Arise.

Africa airline jobs scam

Airline Employment Scam

When the management of Trans Africa World Airlines asked job seekers to come with N15, 000 each for the procurement of e-passport and N3,000 administrative fee last month, many thought it was passport to a new world. Thousands of desperate job seekers trooped to the airline’s office.

The company, which address was given as ”Murtala Mohammed International Airport/Local Wing, Ikeja, Lagos State,” is located under a large, white canopy erected in the premises of an uncompleted two storey building located at 190/192 Egbeda/Idimu Road, Abule-Odu Bus Stop in Alimosho, Lagos, where it conducted the interview for ‘new staff.’

Nobody knew the actual number of positions available, only that there were vacancies for those interested in cargo handling and being part of the cabin crew excluding the pilot.

The vacant positions were not advertised, rather, participants were drawn from churches and social organisations known to the company’s management.

Some of the applicants who visited the employment site and who spoke with our correspondent observed that the whole process is akin to kalokalo, the one-armed bandit game of luck.

In fact, many others left the venue unconvinced that the positions were really available. They did not know if they had been employed or if they were being kept in view, even on the last day, Friday, August 15, 2008.

Investigation by our correspondent revealed something ‘shady‘ about the whole process.

Trans Africa World Airlines, which claimed to deliver its service with ”A touch of class and excellence,” is yet to acquire the legal approval to operate as an airline company, which core positions, it was seeking to fill with staff.

Only recently, the company obtained an Air Transport Licence after transforming from an undisclosed name.

Checks at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, which has records of all airlines in Nigeria, showed that Trans Africa World Airlines was yet to obtain an Air Operation Certificate, without which it could not operate any air flight schedule.

Head of Media Relations at the NCAA, Mr. Sam Adurogboye, confirmed the pending position of the company.

“From NCAA records, Trans Africa World Airlines existed in another name in the past. They transformed into the current name. It has a licence for the new name. But it is yet to get an AOC.

“The implication is that without an AOC, it cannot operate an air flight schedule any where in the country. It will have to get that first, before any other thing.”

Our correspondent gathered that those who applied at Trans Africa World Airlines, – people with different educational qualifications, including secondary school leavers - were instructed to come for training in white and black uniform. No written test, no interview, no short listing was carried out.

According to the company, all the applicants that fulfilled the requirement of paying the sum of N18,000 employment fee were as good as being employed.

The company remained silent, however, on how the Passport was going to be obtained, as well as when the job was going to begin.

Other requirements included an application letter, photocopies of educational certificates, a medical report, a police report, birth certificate and four passport photographs.

Worse still, no receipt was issued for the payments. Those who paid were given a piece of paper (handwritten) indicating the sum collected from them.

A copy of such letter had neither company’s stamp nor signature. However, the applicants were told after the exercise to go home and wait for further information.

Asked if Trans Africa World Airlines had the power to employ staff for jobs it was not licensed to carry out yet, Adurogboye said NCAA was equally investigating the report.

”We have heard before you came today. We are equally investigating. We have summoned them for a meeting on Tuesday. You may join the meeting if you want.

”We will issue a categorical statement when we conclude our investigation.”

Although the meeting was held as scheduled, our correspondent was not allowed to attend as promised, owing to the absence, from office, of Adurogboye on the day.

It was however, reliably learnt that that was the third meeting NCAA held with the Executive Director of Trans Africa World Airlines, Mrs. Yemisi Wellington-Alafa, on the activity of her company.

Following her tacit denial, she was required in the previous meetings to denounce the activity or put the record straight within seven days, through a national media advertisement.

Curiously, while she has failed, for whatever reason, to carry out the advertisement, NCAA‘s investigation has also remained inconclusive.

On Tuesday, August 26, our correspondent met with her at Citi Guardian Chambers, Gbemisola House, Ikeja with a media consultant, Mr. Babatunji Wusu, in attendance.

But she refused to have the interview recorded, explaining that there was no need since it was planned to be ”a family affair.”

She denied knowledge of the illegal recruitment activity initially, but blamed other people for her woes, when she eventually admitted that money was indeed received from applicants. She said her company was still at stage four of AOC acquisition.

Asked if her company‘s activity was legal, Wellington-Alafa said, ”I did not know you are now a lawyer. The youth activity that my Mum does has been on for a long time now. It is the activity that was held there. It has nothing to do directly with Trans Africa World Airlines.”

Later, she added, ”And I told my Mum not to conduct the exercise even though she said it would involve only her church members.”

Asked why she has not carried out an advertisement to denounce the activity, if Trans Africa World Airlines was not in a hurry as she claimed, the Executive Director said she was not rushing it because she was planning to include many other things in the advert.

classified ads data entry jobs scam

Job seekers responding to classified ads or postings on Internet job sites have become a favorite target for scammers. The results can be not only financial loss, but possible criminal charges and the legal expenses associated with defending against them.
Ellen had posted her resume on CareerBuilder.com and was pleased when she was contacted by someone who said he was with a charity called Children in Crisis, which is a real organization based in London.

"I was told it was a clerical job, and that I would be doing data entry and processing payments," Ellen told ConsumerAffairs.com.


AS A part-time student, Ellen, 21, wanted to earn some pocket money. She saw an advertisement asking people to assemble electronic gadgets at home. She thought it would be an honest job that would give her the flexibility of working from home.

She dialled the number and a man answered. He told her to send a postal order worth US$70 if she wanted the job. Upon receipt of payment, she was promised the parts would be mailed to her within five to seven days. The naive lass sent the money and waited. And waited.

“After three weeks of my calling him, he finally said the products would arrive soon. Eventually, he stopped answering my calls. Then one day, I called and found out the number had been disconnected,” relates Mogana.

She tried to track the company down but all she had was a post office box number. She complained to CAP but could not recover her money as the man and his company had vanished.

A few months later, still hunting for a part-time job, Mogana chanced upon another advertisement in the papers. This time the advertisement read, “Looking for data entry clerks, experienced not necessary, minimum SPM, call for interview”. She called and ended up in a dingy office in the city, where a “consultant” awaited her. This consultant told her the job was available but she had to pay RM139. What for? she enquired.

“So that we can send your resume to the company and they can do the paperwork for you. In a week, you can start work,” he answered. Mogana didn’t suspect anything was amiss and paid up.

Months later, she still hadn’t heard anything. All her calls went unanswered. She finally gave up. Luckily, through a recommendation, she found a job at a factory.

“I’ve been cheated twice so I don’t bother to read the advertisements again. I really can’t blame anyone because it was my fault. But, I’d like to advise others to do a background check on the company before they decide to send money or start the business,” she says.

Engineer T.H.Wong, 47, wanted some extra income to save for his children’s education. He came across an advertisement in an English daily to assemble products. Thinking it would also be good weekend family activity, Wong responded and was sent a flyer.

“I had to pay RM85 for member registration and the job was to assemble remote control toys. In addition, there were some legal fees to be paid, etc. The entire amount came up to RM345,” recalls Wong, who decided to give it a try. Within a week, he got his first “product”. When he saw the kit, he was unhappy as the assembling proved difficult. He sought a refund.

He called the number and spoke to an “agent” who claimed the company had offices all over the country and the products were from Taiwan. When Wong asked the names and numbers of these offices, the man refused to divulge the details.

Numerous calls to the “agent” subsequently failed. When he did a background check, Wong discovered the company did not exist.

Okay, I confess. Yours truly was a victim too. When I was a struggling student in the United States, every penny counted so I often scoured the local papers for part-time work. I saw an advertisement which offered US$2 (RM7.20) for every envelope stuffed with their flyers. The envelopes would already be addressed with postage affixed. All I had to do was send a SASE (self-addressed stamp and envelope) along with US$20 (RM72) for more information and US$2 for shipping and handling to the address.

No harm in trying, I thought so I parted with my US$22

My package arrived with a five-page manual on another money-making venture – how money could be obtained by surfing the net for articles on construction companies.

I was expected to photocopy the last page of the manual and distribute to as many people as possible. My flyer would read, “Make money surfing the web! Send an SASE with US$20 for more information and US$2 for shipping and handling to (my address).”

Clever, isn’t it?

It had nothing to do with surfing the Net. I would get US$22 from every person who responded. There was no product or business whatsoever. Infuriated and embarrassed that I had been duped, I trashed the manual. After that, I did waittressing and babysitting to earn my dough!

FTC targets Internet work-at-home scams

Project FAL$E HOPE$ crackdown targets Internet-based schemes, work-at-home scams


-- Money Making Secret: These defendants promised "Top 12 Programs to Make Big Money!" and charged consumers between $47 and $129 to access a "members only" Web site with "money-making secrets," the Federal Trade Commission said. The Internet-based programs that were offered varied, including online survey programs, free government grant money programs, mystery shopper programs, and online data-entry programs.

Project FAL$E HOPE$ includes new cases announced Tuesday, developments in existing cases, criminal convictions, and state actions. The project also announced new education material for advertising sales staff, aimed at helping screen ads for bogus business opportunities.

-- The Results Group: Working out of what the FTC called a boiler room in Phoenix, the operation charged between $99 and $599 to build and host Web sites "affiliated" with the sites of large retailers such as Amazon.com and Overstock.com, the FTC said. Consumers could supposedly make money when those retailers paid commissions for sales made through the consumers’ Web sites. In fact, the large retailers were unaware of any such affiliation, and consumers made no money.

The FTC accused the operation of falsely representing that purchasers would receive substantial income as well as substantial assistance from an expert staff, and using false and misleading statements to encourage consumers to buy the business opportunity.



However, these programs did not exist, or did not offer easy money with little time or effort, as promised, the FTC said. The FTC's complaint charges the defendants with making false and unsubstantiated earnings claims.

The FTC also has new guidance for publishers, offering them help to screen out deceptive ads for business opportunities. The alert, "Ads for Business Opportunities: How to Detect Deception," suggests advertising sales staff to give an extra look at ads that make claims such as: "No risk! Guaranteed" "Quick and Easy!" "Earn $2,000 a month."

The FTC alert warns that legitimate business ventures involve risks, and start-up businesses require a lot of work to get off the ground. The law requires earnings claims in ads be accompanied by the number and percentage of previous purchasers who achieved the income, the FTC said.

banks fake check schemes

A new scam uses banks as unwitting accomplices to take consumers' money.

Avesjha Wilson said she posted her resume on Monster.com and was hired by a company called Recruit Med Inc. as a part-time data entry specialist.

"It wasn't anything about data entry. That was the tricky thing about it. Nothing to do with data entry," Wilson said.

Instead, Wilson said, Recruit Med Inc. instructed her to cash checks sent to her in the mail, take out a 6 percent commission, then send the rest of the money to a post office box in London. The first check was for $3,900.

"It was made out to me," Wilson said.

Wilson said it looked legitimate. It was drawn on a Wells Fargo bank account. She took it to the bank’s branch at 51st Street and Ames Avenue in Omaha and cashed it. Wilson said she is not a Wells Fargo customer, and she was surprised to be able to walk out with cash.

The check turned out to be fake.

For security and privacy reasons, Wells Fargo declined to comment on the case.

The Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance said it is surprised that the bank cashed the check. The banking department says most banks would hold a check for that amount until it could verify the transaction with the account holder.

As for consumers who may be tempted by this scheme, the Better Business Bureau’s Jim Hegarty warned that all similar offers are almost certainly scams. Hegarty said that by cashing the check, Wilson unintentionally participated in a crime.

"You are abetting the scammers in this endeavor," he said.

Wilson had already wired $3,600 to Recruit Med Inc. before she had second thoughts and went back to Western Union to stop the transaction. She could only get $1,000 back.

"Luckily, the bank was lenient with me, and I didn't get in big trouble for it," Wilson said.

She said she returned the $1,000 to the bank and learned a valuable lesson: If it's fast cash without an honest day's work, it's probably a scam.

"It's crazy," she said.

The Better Business Bureau said check fraud schemes are on the rise. If you have any questions about the legitimacy of a check you should contact the BBB or a banking official.

students fooled by work-at-home Internet schemes

Today's students might belong to a tech-savvy generation, but they are also dangerously blind to consumer fraud techniques, said Barry Elliott, the creator and coordinator of PhoneBusters, an arm of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Work-at-home offers represented just 1 percent of the total Internet complaint filed with the league in 2005, but they accounted for 44 percent of complaints from people younger than 30. On average, work-at-home schemes tapped victims for $1,785.

A man Graham Rodrigue wants to share a secret.

He used to be a workaday slob, a wage slave, a cog in the corporate wheel. Now, he stays home and earns $1,800 a day for typing.

Rodrigue pledges to help you do the same - after you send a $47 money order to his apartment in Quebec.

Similar solicitations cram some e-mail boxes and pepper online job boards. Most are fraudulent, and many target students, according to a January report by the National Consumers League.



"Some of them are quite expensive," said Susan Grant, director of the league's National Fraud Information Center. "Competition for good-paying jobs is fierce, so when somebody advertises that you can make lots of money from the comforts of your home, it may be more appealing to people who haven't found the jobs they're looking for yet."



He said a survey by his agency revealed that 69 percent of university students have shared debit card PIN numbers with acquaintances. This nonchalant attitude has helped fraud peddlers use the Internet to revive classic telemarketing scams, he said.

"The key thing with spam and e-mails is don't open up unknown e-mails," Elliott said.

On Feb. 7, an associate identified as Deborah Lewis sent an unsolicited e-mail to Kent State students that advertised a stay-at-home data entry job paying thousands a week.

"All you need is access to the Internet, have basic typing skills and follow our simple step-by-step system," the e-mail said.

A follow-up e-mail led to a one-page Web site hosted by atspace.com, a free service a German company offers to anyone with computer access. In turn, that page links to www.data-entry-jobs.com, a site registered to Rodrigue.

Rodrigue listed a Quebec City phone number when registering his sites, according to the Register.com whois database. A call to the number yields the voice of an operator who said alternately in French and English that "this number is no longer in service."

Most of Rodrigue's Web sites are linked by claims that seem incredible, something Rodrigue acknowledges. In the FAQ section of one site, he answers the question "Is this program a scam?"

"We would not have been around for six solid years if our program was a scam," Rodrigue said. "Everything listed in our site is 100 percent true, and the potential pay rates are real. As long as you follow our instructions and type ads daily, you'll be paid for your work."

Grant, of the National Consumers League, said consumers need to answer some questions for themselves. Most legitimate work-at-home opportunities come from local companies seeking local help. An advertisement that seeks home-based employees worldwide should raise red flags.

"One thing is a demand for money before you even get the details of what you're going to do," Grant said. "Another is any claim that you can make lots of money with just spending a few hours a day from the comfort of your home. If that were true, we'd all be doing that."

If it's not true, those who are promising sky-high payoffs for little or no work could be committing a crime.

"If there are deceptions that are being made with intent, then it's fraud," Elliott said. "It could be anything. There could be an organized-crime connection, or it could just be a guy operating without a lot of common sense leaving a huge trail."

At Kent State, the Career Services Center bars employer recruiting by those who charge a buy-in fee to start a job. Assistant director Ami Haynes Hollis said she notifies faculty members when she is alerted to non-sanctioned recruiting. Employers who participate in campus events or post on the official jobs site, FlashForward, must pass a screening process.

The first point of contact for U.S. Internet fraud is the FBI-operated Web site, www.ic3.gov. Consumers can also visit www.fraud.org or www.phonebusters.com to file complaints.

Data Entry jobs scam Online Fraud

Data Entry jobs sound promising. Simply by paying a fee, sometimes as much as $100 or more, a person will start receiving offers from companies that need help entering data online. All you have to do is enter in short 3-4 line sentences or copy data onto forms provided.
Online fraud has become a vast global network, bringing together bands of cyber criminals to do what they do best ? steal money and identities from unwitting online users.

While legitimate data entry leads can sometimes be found online (most data entry work is outsourced to India and other lower-cost countries), you'll have to wade through cyber-acres of scams to get to them.

Data entry scams often claim you'll earn a certain amount for every "application" that you process. As with the envelope stuffing scam, you pay a fee and in return are instructed to run the same ad that you responded to, and to collect checks from those who reply. are from people like you, except now the role of scammer is yours.

Another common data entry scam involves having the applicant pay a fee for software that he or she will "need" in order to complete the data entry jobs. Once you purchase the software, however, it becomes clear that you yourself will be responsible for finding the data entry work --
Perhaps the biggest scam of them all. The victim is lead to believe that they will earn thousands a day simply by typing, or entering data for a company. The program usually requires an up-front fee of $100 or more. After payment, the victim discovers, that in reality, they will have to do marketing to make money.

Upon filling out my application I received within two seconds an email explaining that all I had to do was send the same advertisement out to other unsuspecting people along with an application for employment, review the application (for what reason, I do not know) and send them the congratulatory letter that there employment has been approved.

The Reality:
This is actually another marketing scheme similar to envelope stuffing. After filling out the application and paying the money, you will discover that you earn these hundreds of dollars by placing a similar advertisement in order to flease others out of their money. Some even require you to send half the money to the person who recruited you.

There are several ways to determine if a scheme is a scam. Any job that requires any payment, for registration, and the buying of manuals and goods before one earns any money, is a scam. Any job that promises quick, easy, good money is also a scam. Any e-mail sent by an unknown party that asks me to click onto a link to fill in my personal details, such as banking information and password to my online accounts will be deleted.

All I know is that earning an income from working at home requires earnest, diligent work

surveyspot scam review

http://www.surveyspot.com/

SurveySpot is definitely not a scam site. it is one of the most legitimate GPT take survey sites online. Before you join any GPT (get paid to) site always first look into the pros and cons of joining.It’s free to join, taking surveys is an easy task to accomplish, sweepstake entries are given and SurveySpot offers a low minimum payout/cash-out option.

You have to be 18 years old to join and recently Survey Spot decided to pay for surveys through a point system. They points earned can be converted into cash for payment through PayPal. The average survey takes about 10 minutes to complete, although some can be longer. I have always been paid by Survey Spot on time. For each survey you also can be entered for their quarterly sweepstakes for $25,000. If you don't wish to get paid through PayPal you also have the option of getting an Amazon gift card.

1. I get a lot of survey invitations from them.
2. Surveys generally pay between $3.00 and $5.00 each. (Not every survey is a paying survey, though. The email invitations will state exactly what the incentive is before you take the survey, so be sure to check out the details before you take a lot of time on it.)
3. You only have to have $5.00 in your account before you can request a check.

I generally make around $30.00 a month from SurveySpot. I really only take surveys in my sparest of spare time (i.e., eating lunch at the computer), so I think anyone would benefit from signing up with SurveySpot,


Here are the requirements for joining Surveyspot: You must live in the United States, Canada, or United Kingdom; you must be 18 or older; you must provide a mailing address. Once you join, Surveyspot sends surveys -- at first, only in small amounts. Once you fill it out and prove you're a loyal customer, Surveyspot increases the surveys, throwing in paid surveys also. Not all surveys sent by Surveyspot are paid, but completing a free survey sometimes leads to product tests or another paid survey. This is a plus.

is Maximum Paid surveys a scam maximumpaidsurveys.com

http://www.maximumpaidsurveys.com/

Maximum Paid Surveys Exposed: Find Out The Truth About Maximum Paid Surveys Before You Join. Just because some survey panels are scams, not all of them are. There are some legitimate market research companies out there, but they are becoming increasingly hard to find.

Some companies claim you will make $5-$75 per survey after you have paid your one time registration fee. The truth is it will take a you a lot more time than you can afford to make any kind of decent money from those sites.
I signed up for Maximumpaidsurveys.com today. It cost 40 dollars and is worth maybe 2. The site is simple... a 10 year old could have made it. All it consists of is a giant database of survey companies and mystery shopping companies. Standard rules apply in that all the sites listed require you to apply for them. Same-old tedious job of filling out form after form.

I will say that the site does have some moderately useful resources (about 3-ebooks on affiliate marketing, WAHM or work at home moms, and online auctioning) and the data bases ARE useful albeit not very well organized. Strangely though, some of the sites that is on the databases have been known to be scam sites. Not quite sure why MPS tries to pass themselves off as being legitimate while promoting these scam sites. I would exercise the same caution used when dealing with any online site that asks for some personal information. I would like to say that MMS is nothing like how it is being advertised. It is definitely not worth the 40 dollars spent to access this information which is all easily learned with a few hours of online research.

It’s important to realize that if you decide to sign up for this program you aren’t subscribing to anything. You’re merely buying access to a few data bases. It is possible to get referrals from this site. If you buy access, you can make about 26-27 dollars selling it to others. That, however, in my opinion would be scamming people hence I will REFUSE to post the referral links. As far as I’m concerned, this site is dishonest, deceiving, and misleading in that it does not offer the product it advertises.

This would be a really great time to mention that BBB (Better Business Bureau) should be your main resource for evaluating sites before you sign up to them. Always be cautious, always be skeptical, and always make sure that the sites you sign up for are legitimate. Also, you will always read me saying this: NEVER give away your personal information without being satisfied that the company you’re signing up

Medical Billing Jobs scam review

If you are looking for an opportunity at home to make good money and have some experience in medical billing, now is the time to take advantage of starting your home based business. Whether you do it on your own or franchise yourself out, the opportunity in this growing industry is great.Many legitimate telecommuting jobs from qualified employers exist. A significant number of them do require some type of skill, but that does not mean you need a college degree to earn a living on the internet. The World Wide Web is full of opportunities, and all types of persons from all over the world are making their dreams come true by working at home.
There are many of these that offer medical billing training online but beware of scams. You can also go to your local colleges to get some of the required courses. The salary range is generally between $25000 to $30000 a year

Medical billing jobs are healthcare related jobs that involve working with doctors, patients, and insurance companies to make the payment of services as efficient as possible. There are large medical billing companies that pay competitive wages to those with the skills required to be an effective medical biller. Medical billing jobs require someone to know the various methods for billing patients, understand how to collect payment from patients, have a working understanding of medical terminology, understand legal and ethical implications, and be able to complete medical billing and claims forms using current coding. Medical billers are also expected to have basic office and computer skills
The overhead cost to starting this opportunity at home in medical billing is not a lot, which is why it is attractive to so many people. A computer and printer along with some reference material and some medical billing software would be all you need to get started. Selecting the right software is probably the biggest decision to make to capitalize on your opportunity to succeed in this industry. Make sure you research properly all the options as well as making sure you are providing service to legitimate practices as fraud is something that must be protected against in this business.

Once established in the industry, your opportunity to create a booming workload will be good. More and more medical billing jobs are continually being created as the medical industry expands. While all phases of the medical industry are growing, this opportunity to be a medical billing specialist has never been better. Keep in mind that as more doctors are needed with an aging population, more medical billing personnel will also be needed. This opens the door for a great opportunity at home to never have to do anything else in an office setting again.

Another advantage to taking this opportunity to become a medical billing specialist is the fact that there are so many options to receiving the education to become certified. Whether you attend traditional classes, or use an online option, the opportunity to quickly be up and running in a medical billing career has never been easier. Although, when choosing a class option, be selective of taking the right course for you. Many people take courses that either provide not enough information or overload students with unnecessary information. Be sure you have the right course for you set up so you can maximize your opportunity at home to be a successful medical billing specialist.

So, if you truly want to have a stable career and have the opportunity to work from the house, look into medical billing. Now is the time to jump into the field, and while schooling is available. Don”t pass up your opportunity at home to find your way into the medical industry and start a new career

If your membership is standard, you can get an average of 4-5 ads per day.Depends on direct referrals & rented referrals (Can be $ 5000 as well for upgraded members in ideal situations)You can only have direct referrals after 30 days of being a user and having at least 100 clicks credited. Same is also applicable for upgrading your membership. You need to click for getting referral click earnings tomorrow. So remain active.
The key to making money on NeoBux is through referrals. It’s simple, if you don’t have referrals, you won’t make money. You can rent referrals directly from NeoBux. The referrals are real people and cost 30 cents a month each. Some will be active and some won’t. To “recycle” a non-active referral for an active one you have to pay 8 cents. It may seem like a lot, but it’s worth it. If you don’t recycle inactive referrals, you will lose money.

Your first month earning without any referral will be $1.2 if you click daily, now you got to make a move rent referrals. Your first two rentals have discount, you rent 3 referrals for $0.75 from your neobux main balance. Now next month earning will be $1.2 + $1.8 means now you have earned $3. Now make a move again rent 10 referrals for $2.5 now you will be earning $1.2 + $6 in 30 days means $7.2. Now again rent referrals this thing when grows it will make you good income stream and if you understand how it works, you will be making huge income.

) Join now and start clicking. Refresh the page as often as you can, to maximize the amount of ads you receive.

2) Check on the "View Advertisements" page, and on the top, it tells you what time your ads reset. This will be your local time. NeoBux ads don't make you wait 24 hours, starting from the last time you clicked it, before you can click it again. They reset the same time (give or take a few minutes) everyday. For me, that time is 4:30 PM, so if I click all my ads before then, whatever ads are not expired by the time 4:30 comes around, I can click them all again.

3) When you earn your first $1.00, transfer it right to your rental balance, and rent 3 referrals right away, at a cost of $0.90. Each ref is $0.30 and can be rented in packs of 3, 10 and higher. Leave AutoPay disabled. If you are a standard member, your rented refs have to click at least 2 ads a day for you to earn back your $0.90 that you paid for them. In the 30 days you have them, if they all click a combined total of more than 180 ads, then anything above 180 is profit in your account.

4) You can rent refs once every 7 days, so give your first batch 1 week, and see how they are clicking. If they all have an average of 2.000 or higher, then rent another 3 as soon as you can. You should have enough in your balance to transfer another $1.00 to your rental balance by the time you can rent again

Can Other People in my household join Neobux?

The answer is definitely although since household usually only have one computer that can be a problem. You see Neobux is actually designed to use only one IP address per 24 hours as a protection to members. So let’s say I would log into my account at 8am today then my account is the only one that can click advertisements to earn money. No one in the household can log in until the next day. This is actually a great idea for the people who developed Neobux forum. It could prevent hackers to try and cheat their way to more money.


If your already a member of NeoBux here’s a couple other Paid to Click / Paid to Read Programs I highly recommend.

Zoompanel scam review

http://www.zoompanel.com/

ZOOM PANEL is a very active survey site that sends out frequent surveys. They pay out in points which you cash out for a wide variety of merchandise. The surveys are fun and not overly long,Zoom Panel has the best variety of prizes and has quite a few books and DVDs that you can redeem your Zoompoints for, but most are not exactly recent blockbusters,I have cashed out for things like music, iPod ,books, headphones, etc.
Zoom Panel is one of the “legitimate” prize sites on the internet. they market research for a variety of fast-food restaurants, including McDonalds and KFC.

Membership is totally free,Sign up was easy and no scams to be found,and they don't even charge shipping.

Rewards are based on points. Surveys regarding different products are sent via e-mail. You are under no obligation to participate in any survey. Each survey earns the participants “points.” When accumulated, the points can be redeemed for prizes or gift cards. Zoompanel does not pay cash to individuals participating in surveys.
the ZoomPanel program is open to legal residents of the US, Canada, United Kingdom, France, and Australia. Each survey is worth between 25 to 150 points. Once you have reached a minimum of 1000 points you can redeem them for a gift. It took about 6 weeks for me to receive the gift
Those interested in participating in this website should answer “yes” to all of their questions in order to receive the most surveys. If, however, you answer a couple of questions and find out that you do not qualify for a survey, you are eligible to play a game called “spin to win” where you can earn points or prizes.


. If you manage to refer a friend to the site, you will earn 100 points for each friend referred. This is probably the easiest way to gain points with doing as little work as possible.



Even if you are like me, and don’t like doing surveys for available merchandise, it may be in your best interest to give it a try. Just when you least expect it, you may very well get an Invoke Interactive study, which pays very well or you’ll be given opportunities for product testing. That’s what keeps me motivated.

Internet Love Scams From Nigerian Scammers

The Nigerian Scammers are everywhere, they are in chat rooms, on MySpace, almost every dating website online, Facebook, tagged.com, you name it. The way these con artists operate is under the guise of wanting a mature long term relationship, that they are just "looking for love". In truth though, all they are looking for your MONEY.


There is no free lunch in this world. If something looks too good to be true, most probably it is a scam or con job.

The bait is very enticing and most swallow it hook ,line and sinker. They are caught and only realized it when they have parted a substantial amount of money and received nothing in return .

Internet eMail Love Scams
From Africa

Did you get an email from a beautiful, young Affrican woman looking for a good man?

Did you answer her emails with a few short comments and she quickly fell in love with you?

Did she start to talk about her troubles and hint some money would make things better for her so she could perhaps come visit you?

If so, it is probably a scam where the person sending the email may not even be a woman, certainly not the beautiful one in the emails who could get a rich Affrican oil baron with her looks. Most probably the only goal is to extract money from you.
Never part with your hard earned money no matter what. Don’t be a fool.Do not listen to all those sob stories or get rich quick stories because they only want to steal your money.Do not be too trusting .

This woman fell in love with a British man over the internet and was cheated of Rm20K.

The man told her that he is sending an engagement ring, a gold wrist watch, a gold necklace for her and her mother, a camera handphone and some clothes, £10,000 (RM59,207), a laptop and a rose.All she needed to do was pay the courier service fee of RM16,379.29.

If he can afford to send all those gifts, won’t you be suspicious if he asked you to pay the courier fees?

Would it not raise your suspicions that it could be a scam ? It is like informing you have struck the first prize lottery for XXXX millions and you need to pay the tax to claim it.

There are even internet programs that are used to lure those lonely women to get their personal details and then steal their bank or credit card passwords.

Some of those women not only lose their money but also conned of their sex.

Typical Nigerian Scammer email

Hello Linda....

Let me start by saying that I thank God every night since I found you. You came into my life when everything seemed so dark but you provided the light to find my way. I've never been so certain of anything in my life like I am of us. You have totally changed my outlook in life and I thank you for that.. I never thought that someone could love me like you do, but guess what? I love you that much too. I feel as if I'm walking over clouds just thinking about you. You make my life complete. I know you've said we could do foolish things while in love, but you know what? With you I wouldn't mind being a fool for the rest of my life. I love you so much and I know you love me too. I know that others looking into our relationship might think that we're saying too many foolish things too soon but they just don't know how we feel about each other. There's nothing foolish about the things I've told you, I meant every word I said. I love you and for you and you are mine. I would do anything, I love you both so much. Today I promise you that I would do anything in my power to make you a great person, outstanding father and loving husband. I LOVE YOU!!....And I mean This is My first time to come online and date and you are the first woman i will meet since my wife has die

Thanks

James

In the internet age, it is better to be safe than sorry. Be wise and hold tightly to your money. Only fools will part with their money.

focusfwd.com Focus Forward scam reviews

There are a lot of people who will claim that online surveys are scams, but in a lot of cases, someone who claims that an opportunity is a scam is just bitter because they have not been able to find a legitimate surveys site.

http://www.focusfwd.com/

Focus Forward online survey panel(USA only) is a free survey/market research site that pays cash for completed surveys, focus groups, and product testing. They pay anywhere from $1.00 to $5.00 for online surveys and $75.00 to $250.00 to be part of a discussion group.They are looking for all kinds of people including teens, consumers, c-level executives, medical people, legal people, IT professionals, small business owners and many more

You probably won’t receive a ton of opportunities but the ones you do get are quality. You can cash out once your account reaches $10. They also offer a referral program which pays you $2 for every member you sign up that completes one survey.

Your2Cents surveys scam review

http://www.your2cents.com/Register.asp

Your2Cents Online Opinion Panel is a great paid survey company that offers decent pay per survey. It's not a scam, unlike other website that asks you for your money before you sign up with them. Your2Cents is 100% legit. They don't pay very much for their surveys though. Don't expect to earn $20.00 to $100.00 a survey with Your2Cents. You get $1-5 for each survey you complete,I know this doesn't sound like a lot, but I probably receive paid surveys from Your2Cents about 1-6 surveys per month. Some surveys will pay $5.00 to $10.00, but like I said earlier, most are under $3.00.They also have special surveys for teens, so you don’t need to be 18 to join. If you are 18 or over, you can take mobile surveys from Your2cents.com

even if you don't qualify for a survey, Your2Cents will still enter you into their $5,000.00 drawing for being an active survey taker.Payment is requested after you reach $10.00, and is sent by check.Once you are above the required minimum, just request a check, it's that easy.


Terms of Membership
Panelist Qualifications
The Your2Cents® Online Opinion Panel is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada who are age 18 and over. One adult per household is allowed to join Your2Cents.

There are times that we ask panelists if a member of the household under the age of 18 is available to take a survey. Any person under the age of 13 taking a survey, by law, requires the approval of a parent or guardian. For teens aged 13 to 18, Your2Cents offers a panel for the unique needs and interests of teens, Your2Cents 4Teens. Individuals who are 18 years of age may join both panels.

Overall, they are a really nice site that deserves your signup. they are free to join and actually pay you for your opinions. You just have to remember that your success on the site may depend entirely on getting lucky or falling into a good demographic.

UK surveys YouGov.com scam review

There are a lot of scam survey websites about but YouGov is genuine and the results of their polls and surveys are often seen in newspapers and on television.

www.YouGov.com
YouGov is a well known UK survey company. Many people will have heard of them from the major opinion polls which they undertake ahead of elections to see how people will vote. They also have an online paid survey part of their business. Due to their reputation as a recognised brand many people feel safe signing up to the company.
Each time you take part in a survey, you will have your virtual YouGov account credited with cash amounts depending on the survey's length, or you may be entered into a prize draw. .... No sales, no spam, no marketing
With YouGov, for example, if you refer others to join their panel this is what you get (to quote their words):
"For each new member that signs up via your personalised registration link below, you will receive equivalent amounts in survey credit for each survey they complete during their first three months of membership."

It is possible to earn money on every survey completed through YouGov. YouGov does not run a points system. They do not payout until the amount in the account is in excess of £50. I have found that YouGov surveys are relatively easy to do and the quoted level of reward is suitable for the time spent completing the survey. However, despite being a member of YouGov for a long time, I am still to reach the payout level (in fact I still haven't even reached £10) and so my advice would be to try some of the alternative online paid survey sites. they are active in the UK, USA, Austria, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Middle East, Norway, Poland, Russia and Sweden.

opinionworld.co.uk scam review

http://www.opinionworld.co.uk

OpinionWorld is a free website which offers its members the opportunity to shape the future of products and services. Simply by giving your opinion in online surveys, Opinionworld.com is a phenomenal website which pays you £1 or sometimes £2 for each survey you do No Scam
Registering is relatively easy and once registered email invitations are sent relatively frequently. However, I would definitely recommend filling in the personal information surveys, as whilst you won't get paid it will ensure the ones which are sent you are much more relevant saving time which you won't get paid for before you are screened out for surveys.

OpinionWorld reward their online survey takers in three ways. On completion of all surveys there is the option of being entered into a sweepstake, as well as a donation being made to a charity by OpinionWorld. There is also the option of earning points on some surveys. Most surveys are worth 100 points, and when the account reaches 1000 points £10 is paid into an account of your choice.

Previously there was payment into the PayPal account for every survey, but now there is the need to accumulate 1000 points before payment. For this reason OpinionWorld isn't as good as it once was, but it is still one of the best paid online survey sites which I have encountered and so it would be highly recommended by me.

Harris Poll Online scam or legitimate

http://www.harrispollonline.com

I see a lot of people asking questions on survey oppotunities. I want you to understand that survey's require a lot of time, and you won't get rich.
Harris Poll Online is part of a large, multinational, survey company.
Legitimate survey sites are run by market research companies. They have privacy policies, and do not sell your personal info or have you sign up for crap.

My three favorite sites:
Survey Savvy
Opinion Outpost
Harris Poll Online



There is the need to register, and once this is done surveys are sent to the email address used when registering relatively frequently. These surveys range in length, but in my experience they all carry the same reward of 200 points for successful completion, as well as entry into a sweepstake. Obviously some surveys cannot be completed as the taker will not fulfil the criteria. However, when this happens 30 points are given, which is a major bonus point of Harris Poll Online as I haven't encountered another company which rewards for surveys which can't be completed. Points are also earned for registering (30 when I registered) and for completing set number of surveys. Once 2500 points have been earned this can be exchanged for a £25 money transfer into a PayPal account. Alternatively points can be used to enter competitions for the chance of winning higher amounts of money or other prizes.
If you are interested, I keep a running list of reputable survey sites on my webpage.
I would definitely recommend Harris Poll Online. I have completed many surveys and have already received my first payment from the company which was very prompt. The truth is, there isn't a whole lot of money to be made taking surveys. No one is going to pay you to sit on your butt all day and take surveys.
The legitimate survey companies that exist either send you around one survey a week or less worth between $1-$5, or give you entries into sweepstakes for filling out surveys.

online surveys Pay For Opinions

If you want to sit back in the comfort of your home and earn some extra cash, One of the safest ways of earning good money online is taking up online surveys.Earning through these online surveys offer flexibility and you can complete these surveys according to the availability of spare time.

Your opinions can get you an extra scoop of income . All you need is your computer with an internet access. An immediate question that comes to mind is that why would you be paid for sharing your thoughts with a particular company?


Next time you talk to your friend, pay attention to what you both say. Sooner or later you or your friend will tell the other their opinion about something. We make judgments on people based on whether they have similar opinions to us, and we can also see something about their habits. Producers of consumer goods are willing to pay to know your opinion, and hire work at home surveys sites to find them out. So how do you get paid for opinions that you tell your friend for free?Actually, the online survey web sites carry out online surveys on behalf of the companies who want to know the mind set of their probable consumers. It is really important for the companies these days to design and launch their products and services that are according to the liking of their targeted audiences.



There are so many people willing to join up these sites that money for online surveys can be quite small. However, if you are registered at a good mix of sites, you could run up to the hundreds of dollars per month.

To make the most of your time filling out online surveys, you’ll need to join quite a few. To get paid for your opinions you first need to make sure that yours are ones the site actually wants to hear – you may not match the right demographic or there may be many people similar to you.

Some sites are more reputable than others, and you should spend your first day ‘on the job’ just hunting down sites and reading online reviews. It seems that the best method is to join several of the bigger sites which will send you fewer surveys (they have thousands of registered applicants) but better cash, with the smaller ones, who will send you more but pay less.

Many people tend to give up after receiving only 1 or 2 surveys in a month. But making cash from online surveys is time-consuming, so they may test your commitment at the start by paying less or sending less frequently.

What kind of money for surveys can you expect? The going rate is around 2 dollars for a quick form, up to 20 dollars for more intricate ones. When you join up, look at how and when they pay you. The work at home survey site may pay you in gift vouchers, or enter you into a prize draw for a cash prize.

Getting paid for your opinion means it must be your opinion – so don’t think that putting a lump of cheese on the keyboard and letting the neighborhood mice dance on your notebook will get the dollars rolling in – your content will be checked.

Personal information

It is important to be very careful giving out any personal information when it comes to paid online surveys. It is also important to be careful because many paid survey reviews have been know to ask for credit card details or other personal information. This personal information can be used for credit card fraud, identity theft or sold to marketing companies


To summarize – money for surveys won’t buy you a new Ferrari, but in these hard times it could provide a welcome bonus at the end of the month.

The company will create an inquiry and customize the layout. Pay For Opinions If your goals aren’t clear from the very beginning, your results won’t be either. Sometimes people need a bit of motivation to participate.

@ PTC Scam List (black-list) will be update tomorrow

Paid to click programs are real and no scam

Paid to click programs (PTCs) are real and they will pay you. However, some stop paying after a while, so you need to know which sites to trust.
Currently, my favorites are:
http://www.clickin.me/register.php - it pays you to your alertpay account after you've accumulated $2.00
http://www.extra10.com
http://www.neobux.com
http://www.neobux.com same as clickin.me pays you after $2.00 but to alertpay and paypal
http://www.thinkbux.com/ pays you after you've reached $4.00

All three of these are great sites but be sure to check out the blog for others
there are some good sites. never upgrade to premium user initially. download WOT add on for firefox browser. the site with green color ring says the site as trust worthy. but the better thing is to experiment by registering. I am earning 100$ - 200$ every month. i have registered in more than 100 sites. the more sites u register the more safe you are.
How to recognize ptc SCAM:

There are plenty of legitimate ptc's out there. There are ways to tell if it's a scam. For example if the site looks dodgy then there's a high chance it's a scam. If it does not have a forum or support system then most likely it's a scam.

ptc site that ask for registration fees.
offer large gains money. Some of these are ridiculous amounts of money, eg $ 10 per click and daily gains of several thousand dollars, while other sites offer more discrete quantities of money, like $ 1 or $ 0.05 and $ 0.20 per click.

two dollar/one dollar/click for a buck ptc sites

Firms would be paying under $ 0.02 per click, usually only pay $ 0.01.
2) The price of advertising (advertising) is cheaper than what it actually. For example, 500 clicks at $ 0.5/click to a minimum value of $ 0.50, which relidad should cost $ 2.5. A site with a large loss can not be maintained, can not exist. In these cases, there are two options: the administrator of the site is off to the promoters (who pay for advertising), it is clear we will not send any e-mails to be, and / or its members (who make clicks to earn money), not because they will never pay.
3) The minimum payment is too high. An honest site, usually does not set an amount exceeding $ 10, with only some exceptions for places like bienpagado and leepubli these sites are serious. If the minimum payment is $ 50, $ 80 or $ 100, the chances of fraud are almost certain.

PTC site scam free and reliable

how to find PTC sites that are Legit, NOt scammers and that really pays out
those who prefer to say that this is a lie and say that is not working,simply because they register in a a scam or haven’t enough patience to do some bucks.Anybody who was in one of these PTC sites by at least 2 or 3 months knows that it is slowly but safe, and you do not get rich or anything like that, just transform the minutes lost in the PC into profit.And be careful with those scams (those that offer get rich without effort, or pay more than 0.1/0.2 cents per click or have to gather a lot to do extraction, are all FRUD), but some always paid.You must remember that there is no easy money, though this is not at all difficult, it can be tiring routine as always (even if only 5 min) but you get used to not mind and you see it still your stuff always in the pc and give clicks through these pages whenever you decide, askMe any questions that you like,I Help.Good Luck

I personally use ValueBux, BuxWiz, and Tuibux all of these are trustworthy, i also believe that bpbux is legitimate,
bpbux.com, bux.gs, buxwiz.com, prosperbux.com,bux-service.com, Amirbux.com, gammabux.com, ptcbux and gamma bux.com. If anyone know any other paying ptc site please tell me.(payout around 2$ and 0.01$/click) I know about neobux.

How do I find an online job without scam

It's definitely tough to find something that's not a scam and/or actually worth it. I thought I had found something in surveys but it was just more garbage. Every place wants you to sign up and pay them just to have them provide you with a list of the actual companies which you then have to apply for and so on,all those surveys etc, get rich quick are just scams and useless

I'm getting tired of looking for a not scam online job. I'm not looking for getting rich I'm just looking to earn some money doing something online and or by phone. I got plenty of IT knowledge and I'm bilingual English/Spanish
finally i find some online scam free work
a place called Lionbridge that hires internet assessors to work from home 10-20 hrs per week. Basically internet assessors rate webpages and search engines.

To apply you need to first e-mail them your resume/cv, then fill out a form and then take a two part test online. If you pass BOTH parts you get paid for 10 hours and then you have a job.

the rate in usd is about $18 per hour, this gets paid straight into your account every 30-60 days.

Maybe google lionbridge for more info but it's not a scam, you dont have to pay a cent and it is a decent hourly rate. Drawback is the pay isnt weekly.

PTc sites.these sites are basically places where you clickto view websites and get paid in cents ( i would be totally misleading if i went ahead and said dollars). I have been paid hundreds of dollars by the following websites. You could try these too:
http://www.neobux.com/
http://www.buxwiz.com/
http://wordlinx.com/
http://www.bigkahunaclicks.com/
