A Scam Warning For Home Internet Marketing Business Owners.

I remember typing this phrase into Google and wondering if anything would come up. Can you believe that? I really did wonder if I would get any results, in fact I probably got millions of results.

Believe it or not that was only 4 years ago and illustrate just how little I knew about internet marketing. One of the first things I got involved with was online surveys. I had to pay a fee to get a list of companies who were desperate for people to do surveys for them. I couldn't wait to get started and start earning some money online.

Oh! they told me how many companies were desperate for people like me to do surveys for them, and combined with all the testimonials they had, who could lose. I was very new to all this so I sent off my hard-earned money and fully expected to start my own home internet business.

I bet you are wondering how it went? You have probably realised by now that this was a total scam and I never received anything for the money I sent off. There was only a list of companies who might be interested in me doing surveys for them, as it turned out this list was completely useless. Even worse it was only then I realised that there was no means of contacting this bogus company.

This is exactly how scammers work, they prey on people who are brand new to the internet and don't know any better. It pissed me off then and it pisses me off even more now and in my eyes these scammers are no better than crooks.

Sorting honest programs from the dishonest ones is a work of art, and fortunately there are plenty of good ones but we have to be very skeptical at first.
