Free To Join (or any free e-book type offerings) I’m a little hesitant to mention these here because there are some very legitimate free-to-join programs and some free e-books that have true value. I even promote some of these myself. But there are also enough scams out there using these methods that I have to [...]

HYIP (high yield investment programs) They are also sometimes called auto-surf programs just to get away from the bad name HYIP is starting to generate. These things are HIGHLY illegal!!! Don’t even consider putting ANY money into these!!! If you really have that kind of money to waste please just send me an email telling [...]

Traffic Generation/Advertising Sites Now I’m not talking about traffic exchanges and such here. I love traffic exchanges and safe-lists! I know there are many out there that would argue about the effectiveness of these things but I’ve had excellent results with them. You just have to approach them from a different angle than normal advertizing [...]

Doublers, Triplers, etc. The vast majority of these are illegal! But there are always exceptions to the rule. Some will offer a product or service to get around the legal loopholes but this still doesn’t make them a solid business opportunity. The problem is that these things, even if they are borderline legal, are impossible [...]

Retail Sales There are tons of real products you can find to sell on the Internet. Books, meat, perfumes, health aids, weight loss products, and practically anything else you can think of. These are ALL legitimate products. But unless you are a savvy salesman with lots of experience selling products over the Internet you are [...]

Get A Site Just Like This One If you’ve been looking into marketing online I’m sure you’ve seen lots of variations on these. Some have affiliate products for sale (with your affiliate links embedded in the page), others are just for Adsense revenue (which Google has already cracked down on!), and still others have a [...]

$100,000 in Four Months or Pay Nothing This is another one of those "to good to be true" opportunities. That should tell you right off the bat if it’s to good to be true, it usually is! The deal here is they promote your program and if you don’t make $100,000 in four months they [...]

Data Entry This is another of those "just won’t go away" scams. This is probably the most popular falsely advertised program on the Internet. It sounds like you’ll be just entering data from forms into boxes on a web-page or something. This is not a job like that. This is where they instruct you on [...]

PayPal (and all other) Chain Letters  DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT THESE!! DO NOT GET INVOLVED!! DO NOT SEND ANY OUT!! These things have been around forever and have been illegal for just as long. Do not believe them when they say they are from a lawyer or that a lawyer has looked at it and [...]

Paid Typing Programs Now you may think that these programs send you some kind of audio or something along that line and want you to transcribe it to typed format. Or you may think that these programs are some kind of data entry position. Wrong. These are nothing but scams that tell you to post [...]
