Pyramid schemes usually involve too good to be true promises, no product or a worthless product, and never last too long. You can check out the 6 tips for avoiding online scams at:\nhttp://www.webcashlink.com/articles/work-from-home.html

At one point in my life I questioned every motive and finally realized there is only one. Money! Watching the people on TV promote their miracle money making ventures from buying foreclosed homes, tax auctions, to stock market marvels in software they all have one thing in common. Someone figured out a way to make money selling you on the hope that you can make money. \n\nSad but true, the claims they make about getting wealthy using the programs they hustle are unsubstantiated, and they don't have to provide evidence or proof. There's an old saying that fits perfectly here, "Those who can -- do, and those who can not -- teach." \n\nJust think if someone actually did come up with a fool proof method for making a ton of cash for anyone and everyone... no one would be working for Wal-Mart or McDonalds, etc. We would all be to busy sailing our yachts.\n\nIf you find a product or service you can understand and feel passion about, you can probably make a living doing business around it. But, business requires good management sense. Not a cookie cutter application from TV sales pitch, but field research to plan the business. Use the Small Business Administrations guides for starting a business. Good Luck and good planning!\n\nStay in touch with work at home people and projects at http://hbwm.com/

Lifesystems seems to advertise very heavily on the Internet, but I can't find a website for the company or any other information about them. All the ads require you send them $1 and seem to make promises that they will get rid of all your debt. I'm very suspicious of any company that advertises so much without direct contact info.

I was unable to locate any reference to such company on BBB, US and UK government records, or major search engines.\n\nIf this is a scam, which is possible, it is not widespread to trigger any news, or records yet.

No.  I satisfied my curiosity from two such offers.  Each time, after filling out a couple of pages (and I did not give them my email or personal info), there was a final page on which you had to subscribe to something (music cd club, financial advisor, etc.) for which you had to pay and it was at a higher cost than the prize offered.  Then I ran my spyware program to delete the cookies I knew would be attached.  I also ran the virus scan but they were clean on that.  So the answer is you might get the free prize but you'll have to pay for something that costs a lot more than the prize and whatever it is you have to buy - so the prize is not free.

If it looks too good to be true, it is.\n\nBeware pyramid and matrix schemes (I've seen the slimy tentacles of their recruiters beginning to infect this site). Beware schemes that don't tell you up front what you're doing, charge money to join, or for a "decision pack", where the product comes second to gaining new recruits.\n\nBasically, anything that looks like money for nothing may well be, but you're going to be the one giving out the money and ending up with nothing.

Yes, BIG scam. I got scammed by a damn program called The Power of People Network. There was a big news interview and everything about it. DON'T DO IT !!! They want you to ( give ) a huge sum of money, then you gotta "return phone calls" asking people to do the same thing. This is a pyramid scheme and is very illegal. Hope this helps.\n\nYou should check this site out \n\nhttp://www.cashcrate.com/index.php?ref=1...\n\nIt is totally legitimate and free to join. You get paid by doing surveys and free offers, you never have to spend a dime and they pay every month. You can also get 20% from referrals earnings as well as 10% from second level referrals ! It's easy and again it's FREE !

most are scams.  they present a few waaaaay abnormal people who have made a few thousand dollars, and dont tell you that the average person LOSES money, once you buy into the system and such.  many of them also have"upgrad packages" that will suck even more money out of your savings, telling you that the only reason you are not seeing those mega dollars is because you dont have all the tools or that you are not putting forth enough effort....

NO! Its the mass-media way of spreading the truth of your product quality and uniqueness, otherwise people will be unaware of such nice things. \n\nThough some companies or brands do tell lies, but that's rare and exceptions should be ignored.

NO, no no no. It is just another site to get your money. They probably aren't doing too well, you can tell the web site is for sale.\nIt's just another link site by Grassroots.org

It's not a scam in that they do give away all the prizes that they claim (high visibility in a heavily regulated industry). However, your chances of winning are so small as to be practically non-existent.

This will answer any questions\n\nhttp://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/autosurf.htm\n\nIn the world of marketing, people often get compensated — with cash or free products and services— for doing fairly easy things, like sampling new ice-cream flavors, filling out surveys, or allowing a firm to monitor the television shows you watch or the websites you visit.  While some “money for nothing” opportunities may be perfectly legitimate, others can turn out to be frauds.  \n\n“Auto-surfing” is a form of online advertising that purportedly generates advertising revenue for companies that want to increase traffic to their websites.  The premise behind auto-surfing is that companies that advertise on the Internet are willing to pay to increase traffic to their web sites.  These companies hire an auto-surf firm or “host,” which in turn pays individual web surfers to view certain websites on an automatically rotating basis.  The more sites the individual visits, the more money he or she stands to earn.\n\nWhile auto-surfing may sound easy and appealing — and risk-free — there can be a hitch.  Some auto-surf programs require their surfers to pay to participate, although perhaps not initially.  When you first sign up to auto-surf, the firm might assign a limited number of sites for you to visit and pay you accordingly.  Once you’ve made a modest amount of money, the firm might encourage — or even require — you to purchase a “membership” so that you can maximize your earnings.  The program will promise high — often double or triple digit — returns on your investment in the program, often within days or weeks of joining. \n\nThe line you’ll hear is that the more you click, the more you collect.  But the reality is that any scheme that requires you to pay to participate — and promises handsome rewards in no time at all for little to no effort on your part — bears many of the hallmarks of a “Ponzi” or pyramid scheme.  These schemes look deceptively legitimate because the fraudsters behind them typically use money coming in from new recruits to pay off early stage investors.  But eventually the pyramid will collapse when it gets too big.  It’s simply not possible to “rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul" forever.  \n\nThe SEC warns investors to be wary of any sort of “get rich scheme quick” scheme — and to be especially leery of opportunities that require you to pay to play.  Before you pay a dime to make extra cash in your spare time, be sure to do a little due diligence:\n\nIf it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.  Compare promised yields with current returns on well-known stock indexes.  Any investment opportunity that claims you’ll get substantially more could be highly risky — and that means you might lose money.\n\n\nCheck out the company before you invest.  Contact the secretary of state where the company is incorporated to find out whether the company is a corporation in good standing.  Also call your state securities regulator to see whether the company, its officers, or the promoters of the opportunity have a history of complaints or fraud.  If a supposedly upright business lists only a P.O. box, you'll want to do a lot of work before sending your money!\n\n\nSteer Clear of Testimonials.  Watch out if the company’s promotional materials, contain “testimonials” from supposedly satisfied customers, especially if all the “testimonials” are full of praise.\n\n\n"Guaranteed returns" aren't.  Every investment carries some degree of risk, and the level of risk typically correlates with the return you can expect to receive.  Low risk generally means low yields, and high yields typically involve high risk.  If your money is perfectly safe, you'll most likely get a low return.  High returns represent potential rewards for folks who are willing to take big risks.  Most fraudsters spend a lot of time trying to convince investors that extremely high returns are &

Don't. This business belongs to Michael Kimble who has made a bundle off of folks and who plays "get rich quick" schemes. You would have to invest.\n\nI searched the Internet and found some mighty unhappy people who complained about Kimble and his business methods.\n\nIf it sounds too good to be true, it usually is not.

You shouldn't automatically dismiss every one of these sites as a scam.  Many of them, the Gratis company, for example, actually are legitimate programs that WILL send you the item once you complete their "offers."   Of course, afer all is said and done, you'd have been much better off simply going to the store and buying one.\n\nBy know, we should all know how these sites work.  I sure do, and I've got the 1672 items in my bulk mail folder to prove it.  They offer FREE iPods, laptops, TVs, gift cards, money via PayPal, and all sorts of other goodies, and all you have to do to recieve your FREE item is pay for a bunch of trials and product samples.  All of these offers that you must complete require credit cards, which is dumb, because if you can afford to maintain a credit card, you can probably afford to go buy whatever it is that they're giving away.  \n\nOnce you complete the offers that they ask you to participate in, after everything goes through, you recieve the product sample, credit card, free trial, or what-have-you, that you paid for, (keeping in mind that these kinds of things usually take anywhere from a few weeks to a LOT of weeks), AND you recieve credit for it (another few weeks), you must refer, usually, 5-or-so people, ALL of whom must complete an offer or two themselves (another few weeks for each of them), and then THEY must refer someone to complete an offer.\n\nThey'll also revoke any offer, or your whole account, if you don't follow their rules to a "T".  For example, if you post a link on your website instructing readers to sign up for a free trial so that you'll get your credit, but then tell them to cancel the trial before it expires and their cards will be charged, they won't make as much money, and won't take too kindly to your instructions.  You also must refer unique people, who then must refer unique people, meaning, you can't create multiple accounts and pose as your own referrals (which doesn't make sense to me, since they're getting the money anyway).\n\nObviously, very few people are going to put up with all of this nonsense, and these companies will have to send out very few of the products that they offer.  They make all their money from the people who sign up, pay for a few offers and then say "screw the whole thing."\n\nSo, all in all, you CAN get an iPod off of them for a few bucks, but you'll need a credit card, an incredible amount of patience and 10 other people who are actually going to go through with it.

most of them work like this: you have to complete 2 or more of the "offers" they have from other compnaies on their site. you choose between credit cards, free trials of music downloads or classes online to learn spanish etc. each of these "offers" costs shipping and handling for the trial and then after 30 days they charge your card on a regular basis. if you complete enough offers then you have to refer a certain amount of friends who have to completely get through the system for you to get credit for them. Supposedly if you complete enough offers and refer enough friends you will get the free item but it's close to impossible i think. it probably is just a scam to get your e-mail address and get you to sign up for "free" trials that suck you into agreeing to pay for several months yada yada. you know the deal. i've tried it and never had any luck.

I actually do make money with it! It took time and effort, but once I understood the concepts and applied them I continually make money. Nobody is going to do it for you though, and nobody is going to just send you free money. I found it cheaper here: www.witcfb.biz/bonus-offer

I got caught in that scam too. My feeling is, if you truly do have the power to see/predict someone's future, you would not use it for financial gain. If she really had your best interests at heart, why does she keep sending these "imprtant" messages  you have to pay to get? Shady dealings if ya ask me.
