Minute Workers scam review update

Well I found the forum on Minute Workers. I couldn't help but to post this:
I'll cut straight to it!
Threats of removing me from membership immediately upon sign up. I literally combed through every possible record of signing up at any time since I started doing my investigation of online opportunities 2 1/2 years ago. Then I tried the first opportunity for 25 cents to go to a website and stay there for "a significant amount of time" then report back with the URL and my IP address only to find out I wasn't paid 25 cents because of some "exploitation". What an odd time to tell me this!
This put up yellow lights for me so I looked over more of the "opportunities". I found two red lights immediately. I have a great reputation in craigslist as I use it to sell and to post a job opportunity myself. I read their terms and conditions. Obviously so have some of your "employers"! They know they can't advertise superfluously and remain part of craigslist! So they ask people on this sight to risk their reputation on craigslist by posting ads and getting paid for doing so. Not allowed boys and girls!
I blew it for another company by sending out a message to my readers about their ill gotten "offers" only to be sabotaged by their people. But I don't care, I have a powerful online reputation and if that's what I have to do to keep it, that's what I'll continue to do!

We Pay Daily, mystery company

I think I've given this company enough time to let me find anything on line that tells me whether it's a scam or not. Although it remains a mystery to me one way or the other I'm going to take the dive. I feel like signing up with a completely different email address than the one I use for all other communication to stay on the "safe side".

The reasons why I question it so much is because they don't even let you see the web site without signing up first. I don't know what I would be doing, whether there is a forum or not, or anything indicating it's a legitimate site or not. Furthermore, I can't find even a review on line about it. I won't even be able to find the sites origin unless I sign up with my email address and telephone number!

I am about to step into murky waters with an unknown depth. But I will take the risk just for the sake of coming up with my own review if nothing else. PLEASE wish me luck!

craigslist caution for adplacers network scam review

Just the combination of craigslist and ad placers network is illegal. I've just learned the action ad placers network wants you to take is against the terms and conditions for craigslist! For those of you who just started researching ad placers network, they tell you they will pay you for running advertisements online for them. They don't pay people and some get $100 compensation for their trouble, not nearly the amount people are promised. They want you to to get a "Rush" card to get paid. What makes me think they own that too? Any other electronic pay system would not appreciate this illegal activity.
What makes it illegal is craigslist terms and conditions. You, as a craigslist member are not to post ads with them, online for payment for simply doing so! They can never get caught for wrong doing because the risk is all on the members of craigslist who perform this activity.
This reminds me of the scams run on those who advertise on craigslist. They offer to buy some expensive item immediately, sight unseen. They tell you they will pay you through paypal immediately and have a third party shipper arrange the pick up. They hope you will withdraw the money immediately so they can file a dispute that the item was never received. Any way you look at it, if you enter into the transaction they win.
When this was tried on me the first time, I became suspicious because no one buys a used fishing boat sight unseen! The biggest thing that made me mad was the time I spent researching this suspicious activity.
Ad placers network is just another wart on the online scene.

I clicked on this ad on June 7th, today at about 8:30 am. I knew it was a scam before I opened the ad and more than confirmed it after opening the website.
The ad itself prays on our hope and desperation to make money in the aftermath of the recession. It wants you to believe you can make over $8000 a month with little to no knowledge about earning an online income. They say they have a system, a 90 day system. All you have to do is follow their step by step instructions.
I clicked on the link that led me to the site. The first thing it says is: “Tired of all the lies, scams, and empty promises?” This produced a smile on my face! That in itself busted them! If you are a legitimate site you don’t have to say that! Always look for the forum for its members to discuss all things about earning on their site.  I don’t see it!
You’ve already made a great step forward by doing the research. If you’re on the fence at all about any website you do the scam hunt! Good for you.

"Free" information for earning money online

I went in to a site based on the fact a website I trust referred me there. The web site believed the information was truly free just because it said so. Just reading the landing page made me get out of there and never go back. The very first thing that hit me was they were going to show me how to make money online no matter what. I'd make money when my back was turned if I followed the step by step instructions. It went on and on about starting earning money right away with the first ebook. I would like it so much I would order the next one and make even more money without doing much at all. The book would convince me to like the program so much I would order more books. Does this sound familiar? But what put the last nail in its coffin at least for me was the $27 I'd have to cough up to get the introductory ebook. It is a $200 value that used to be found in bookstores. It sold so well they couldn't keep up with the demand and had to start selling it in ebook form. They knocked the price down several times to finally the $27 for a limited time only. I found this only by scrolling to the bottom. I went to double check the reference point to make sure they said free. They did so I was confused. Then I read that if I'm not completely satisfied with my $27 purchase before 30 days were up they would refund my money. The website said it was so sure I would like the information and I would make at least $27 by that time so I would not want the refund but rather buy more of their ebooks to give me more ways to make money. So the refund offer is what they include in the word "free"!

This is a scam boys and girls and it goes like this- You buy their ebook which just tells you all the wonderful things the next ebook is going to tell you. It is intended to get you excited about earning decent money online and its so easy anyone can do it. They do not have a system for you. Their system is selling ebooks. I read a review of one of these "systems". This guy tested out what they were doing and ended up paying $500-$100 per book only to find out at the end of the 5th book all he read about is what the next book was going to tell him always promising the next book has the information he's looking for. He could have bought 7 more but he did the research and figured it was time to stop.

These blood suckers are using hope, wishful thinking and the recession to scam anyone they can. How can they get by with it? Because they find just enough people to sign on that many just forget about asking for the refund, then there are the "researchers" who spend their money. Then  there are the people who are broke hopefuls who need to make money.
I personally can't stand them and would like to shut them down. Unfortunately the only thing I can do is try to educate people before its too late!

Is Varolo a scam

Varolo is being discussed all over the web. I just want to remind people that the definition of a scam is a company that can't make payroll. Everything else is in the eye of the beholder and superfluous chatter. So far Varolo has made payroll. However, to make any real money from Varolo you must have already built your referal village with those who would join up themselves to this program. Out of those referals you would have to have enough that have their own village of referrals that would join up. Then everyone would have to be willing to hang around for a long time to benefit everyone. As a mere member you won't make anything.
I do want to recommend a website that does a full, honest, from the gut review on Varolo that neither "flames" nor gives any false information. This guy is one of the most honest internet marketers I ever "spoke to". If you go here he will just let the facts speak for themselves.
