    Don't Get Fooled!

    The marketplace seems to be full of ways to get money. Doubtless most of them are scams.

    I found this interesting, as it covers most of the referral-based programs that are here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme

    Quoting some:

    "non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered. It has been known to come under many guises. Some famous examples..."


    In short, there's better ways to get a few cents! IMO, one should be extremely careful what he does. Don't waste too much time, and NEVER pay ANYTHING! (imo, at least)

    Re: Don't Get Fooled!

    Pyramid schemes ARE evil, but there is a company that goes by the name of TRAINN that makes legitimate ones. www.youripodnano4free.com, a TRAINN company, I know is legitimate - I've been paid by them (and their support is really nice).

    That seems like a really good site, unfortunately it's only for Canada and the US so i can't do it.

    I don't use anything like it. I was going to try that website out, but thought it might be another useless scam :/

    Re: Don't Get Fooled!

    Yeah...I just said it wasn't =/ I actually GOT the money in my paypal account. It's true. That site and all sites affiliated with it are the real deal.

    Just don't do anything that they think might be cheating, or they will catch you and ban your IP ^^
