How to tell if an internet job is a scam

Make money online! Make $10,000 per month! Easy money! Are you tired of the rat race? Work your own hours and make $5,000 per month! How to make easy money on the internet! Easy work for great pay! Work at home and make money! We have all read these same statements over and over again. We get them in our email, we read them in the newspaper under help wanted, we find them everywhere thinking they are legitimate and honest. What the heck we are only looking for something better. Once you go to one web site that reads, "Make money", you are hooked and can't seem to get the emails to stop.

I have read them all! Literally, I was almost convinced on the last one that was sent through my email that read, " Your email has been selected in the British Lottery to receive......"
I actually emailed this group back thinking I actually won money in the lottery in Britain; only because I had actually been in Great Britain and thought it was plausible. We all want to think that our lives would be made easier by a means of making money easy. This is the catch and it is a catch, because so many people fall to the grand ole saying of EASY MONEY. The only catch is, your wallet! "For only $39.99 you can start making money now!" Yes, for only"... out of your pocket comes $40 and what do you get when it arrives? A bunch of something that either does not make sense or some words on a page that reads, " Just type this into as many free ad pages on the net and you will start making money". Or, you could get the multiple pages of words on a page that is supposed to teach you something. If you can only decipher it.

I have fallen and tend to keep falling. I read them all and I listen. The only catch that I have is that I will not send money to these advertisements any longer. I can only imagine what the ads on television are really doing to the discerning public like myself. Oh, wait a minute! Maybe the advertisers are not gearing toward the discerning, but yet the convoluting.

I have tried a few and still watch and read the ones that I have not heard yet, because I will always tend to believe that there is a way to make a lot of money doing not much of anything. It is amazing that these advertisers continue to post their ads and not yet has one person said out loud that they were scammed by a money making scam. Possibly, when we check the company out on the BBB that we might find something that will make us weary of sending the money, but again, the same company has probably changed its name so many times that we wouldn't be able to keep up. Be weary my friends. We are all in the same boat paddling through life with hopes and dreams. We just not need to let our simple desires come in the way of our small human intelligence that we acquired in public school!
