Avoid the scams for good

Scamxposer Review

Posted: February 27th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Scam Sites | Tags: , , , , , | No Comments »

Today we look at scamxposer.com

We review scamxposer and see if it is a scam reviewing scams if you know what I mean.

This site gets about 9 to 10k of traffic per month and has been around for a few years now, so it’s doing well in terms of visibility.  It’s also a PR3 site, so not bad for a scam review site.

I checked to see how good the reviews were and I actually did find some reviews in there.  Not all sites listed are reviewed but some are.

During my time before I “made it”, I did get scammed by a program called “Currency Exhange Profits”.  I invested over $500 into the scheme and have never seen that money again, let alone any profits.  Scamxposer has a review on this scam and has told people to stay away.  So thumbs up for helping others out there.

This site obviously lists the scams to avoid but also recommends some programs.  The comment I want to make is even though programs are recommended, you still need to keep your head on.  Don’t spend money you can’t afford and make sure it seems realistic enough.  After all, the scamxposer.com website makes money as a “recommender” of products by being an affiliate, so could there be some bias when recommending programs?  I’ll let you think for yourself.

All in all, I find the site is useful with the list of scams to avoid.  If anyone has had any bad experiences with this site, please leave a comment and share with others.

Legitimatebusinessreviews.com scam

Posted: February 24th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Scam Sites | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

Today I reseached legitimatebusinessreviews.com and checked my scam o meter.

Again, this is another make money online review site with some clever webcopy to tell people not to buy $97 or $49 ebooks etc.

It goes on to recommend some affiliate programs for you to buy.

This in itself does not make legitimatebusinessreviews.com a scam but the problem here is that the first program it promotes is a program called “Underground Cash Secrets” by Michael Vincent.

I looked into this program and apart from the phoney review sites made by affiliates, I have had nothing but bad news about this.

First of all, it appears that if you want to get a refund (like it promises on the site), you will not be able to get one - or at least it would be very very difficult and troublesome.

Secondly, it doesn’t seem to deliver what it says it does and infact many people have reported that they just try to sell you more stuff in order for you to learn how to make money!

Back to the main point.

How can you trust any kind of review site?  Who can you trust?  Maybe it’s an impossible question to answer but here are some tips to keep you sharp:

1)  If a review site is being promoted using PPC (pay per click) on google, msn, yahoo or any other search engine.  It means the webmaster is paying for you to click on the site.  Why are they paying for you to click?  Any chance that they are hoping they will make their money back by selling you something?  Think about it.  It’s not rocket science right?

2)  Most webcopy is designed to appeal to emotions.  The writer has done so in a way to persuade you to something.  In this case, it is to lead you to buy “Underground cash secrets” or some other recommended products.

For those of you who are smart enough to have researched legitimatebusinessreviews.com before spending more money, well done, give yourself a pat on the back.

Fast-cash-system.com scam

Posted: February 22nd, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Scam Sites | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

We have found Fast-cash-system.com a site that features as the top sponsor on Googles PPC (pay per click) ads when you type in “make money fast” or something similar.

When you come across a site such as fast-cash-system.com that offers to show you how to make money quickly, surely you’re thinking to yourself “well what’s the catch?”

Here’s what I discovered.

Firstly, this is a paid advertisement, therefore the webmaster is investing money in it hoping to make some money in return.  So how does he (or she) do that?

Simply, this webmaster and also alot of similar sites like this make money by acting as an affiliate by introducing you to online casinos.  The point is that you click on their link and when you sign up to the online casino, they make a commission.

Secondly, the bait or attention tool they employ is the promise of “make £300 within 15 minutes of joining” and this is simply a doubling up bets system for roulette so that you never lose your capital.  As good as it sounds, it means you have to spend alot of time clicking away all day and also hope you don’t get caught in the act by the casinos.

In a nutshell, though fast-cash-system.com is not a “scam” as such, is this how you really want to make some money?  Use a system to beat an online casino (which you would be thrown out of in a real life casino).

If this is your idea of making money online then I’m not going to stop you, but if you want to make money online in a way that is building a concrete income, based on sound principles, giving value and offer something that does help other people, then there are much better ways to do it.

Just don’t caught up in fast money promises.  Read here to find out how the experts make real incomes and avoid the scams.


proconsumerguides.org review

Posted: February 8th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Scam Sites | Tags: , , , | 1 Comment »

Here we look at ProConsumerGuides.org

I decided to do a proconsumerguides review to find out what it’s really all about.

First impressions give you a professional look, with a clean, gray layout.  Almost like a healthcare/accountancy firm site.  It even has tabs along the top which show you some photos of “reviewers”

The actual content is interesting as when you begin the first few paragraphs, it does sound quite neutral talking about online make money online programs.

You will notice that as you read on, it claims that they have tried out various programs but found that most of them were scams.

When you get to the end, they reveal to you the program they found to “really work” and introduce you to Profit Lance as well as another program.

As someone who has been in internet marketing for a while, it is easy to spot the intention behind this “consumer guide” site.  It is obvious that this is an affiliate marketer using this method to produce sales.

These are some hallmarks:

1)  This site is promoted using PPC.  Therfore the webmaster is paying for people to click on the site.  i.e. advertising.  People only ever pay for advertising for one sole purpose - to make money in return.

2) The recommended program is an affiliate link so the webmaster makes a cut of everysale of Profit Lance through this link.

The point I’m making here is not to critisize the affiliate or Profit Lance.  What you need to consider whenever you read recommendations is how genuine is the opinion.

If someone is making a review site, making it look good and paying for advertising to get a return on money, can you trust the “review” fully?

Please be smart.  Learn the smart way read my report here.


Genuine ways to make money online

Posted: January 26th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Articles | Tags: | 1 Comment »

Trying to find out the genuine ways you can make money online is a complete minefield in itself.

When websites tell you that their way is the genuine way to make money, how can you believe them?  You’ve even probably been scammed yourself and are somewhat skeptical about the claims that people make and then try to sell you.

You know what?  I don’t blame you.  I know what it’s like.  I’ve been through it all in my quest to learn how to make some income online.

When there’s a will, there’s a way.  And I guess with that attitude I adopted, I did finally make it.

Let me give you a few tips of advice from someone who has gone through it:

1)  I would say that the majority of sites that describe “genuine” ways to make money online are NOT actually genuine in that it is just a play to suck you in or sell you something.

2)  People who actually have made a fortune online did it with a lot of hard work and built up a business just like you have to in the offline world.  They did not buy a copy of the rich jerk and become a millionaire a week later.

3)  It is true that there is a lot of money to be made online.  IF you know what the genuine ways are.

4)  There are lots of different “genuine” ways that actually do work, but you need to cut through all the smoke and mirrors to find it.

Finally, if you are searching for a real way to make money which does not involve playing online casinos etc, read my story here.

I would love to hear your comments on my report.


The Web Reviewer Review!

Posted: January 22nd, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Scam Sites | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

To see the full report on how to make money online without getting scammed click here.

Today I came across Matthew Bredel’s The Web Reviewer website.

First impressions were good.  Its not a fancy site.  But simple and straightforward with a good header menu bar and left side bar.

This site is marketed as a “review site” meaning he reviews products relating to the make money online niche.

If any one out here who is learning how to make money online then this site has some good elements you can learn from.

Firstly, the site has an email opt in facility so an email list can be grown.  As they say in internet marketing “the money is in the list”.  What is particularly special about the approach though is that not only does the site offer an incentive for you to sign up e.g. the free ebooks etc, but also by using the quiz format, it encourages the visitor participation.  This is a recent method adopted by martketers to enocurage more participation and therefore likelyhood of a sign up.

Secondly, the site reviews products.  The webmaster appears to be honest about his opinions here and so recommends the products he thinks are the best.  That in itself is fine, but just remember what I have talked about before in my other posts:  People reviewing products then giving a recommendation are usually doing so in the hope that you click on their affiliate link to make money.

Understanding this principle will help you be aware and discern whether you can trust the review fully and remind yourself of the possible scams that are around out there.

Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it might well be.

Final note.  If you can’t afford to pay for the product that promises to make you tons of money in your first week etc etc, don’t spend your money.  Spend only what you can afford.  There are plenty of ways to learn how to make money for anyones budget including free!

Best of luck to you!


scambusters org review

Posted: January 21st, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Scam Sites | Tags: , , , , , | No Comments »

Have you come across scambusters.org?

It’s a website owned by Dr Audri Lanford which boasts a weekly newsletter and says it is the “#1 Internet publication on internet fraud.”

My research indicates that it has approximately 41k traffic a month, so obviously a significant number of visitors.

One of the reasons I am reviewing scambusters.org is that we essentially share a similar perspective in that we aim to help people avoid being scammed.  This is certainly a good cause.

The site itself contains alot of different topics which include identity theft, phishing, viruses, credit card fraud and so on.  It does seem to be quite an established site with lots of topics on.

One of the pros of the site is that there is alot of content and seems to be kept reasonably up to date with good all round tips for the public on scams in general.

One of the cons is the navigation.  It can seem a little cluttered and scattered so making it difficult to read and has advertisements dotted around.

All in all a useful site to read on your lunch break etc.

Good luck and avoid the scammers!


make money online no scam

Posted: January 18th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Articles | Tags: , , | No Comments »

Avoid being scammed once and for all.  Read the full report here

You will come across internet marketers trying to sell you some products with the title along the lines of make money online no scam or make money online no scams!  Why?

Quite simply because there are so many products that are near scams out there.  Even the ones that claim to be “make money online no scam” could well be a scam with a smart title just to get your attention or try to buy your trust.

If you are thinking about making money online, you of course need to take some risks.  That goes without saying as life is all about taking certain risks, but within that concept, one has to make good judgements too.

The fact that you are reading this page means that you are trying to make a good decision, using various sources and validation to make a good choice.  That is a good step.  Let me also direct you in a path that will help you make good decisions and actually make some money.

You see, I have experienced over and over buying into the promises that marketers “sell” to me until I one day finally had to make the decision to stop chasing after the make money quick game and find something that realistically works.  It was a hard decision but none the less the best decision I ever made.  My breakthrough did not come easy, but it DID come.  Here are the two principles I had to stick to without fail everytime to avoid being scammed:

1)  There is no such thing as a free lunch. No matter what they say.  If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

2)  There is no such thing as making X amount of money in X days without a foundation first. When a course claims to make you $1000 in 3 days, technically it may be possible.  What it doesn’t tell you is that it can take a few months of learning and practise to get to that level.

What I want to tell you is first of all stop falling for the make money online no scam!  Scams (if you know what I mean) and learn how to do it properly.

If you want to learn how I did it and how simple it actually can be if you know what you’re supposed to do, read the report here.

Good luck!


Make Money Online Now scams

Posted: January 15th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Articles | Tags: , | No Comments »

I can guarantee that if you type in “make money online now” as a search term on google or any other search engine, you will get lots of sites or PPC sponsored advertisements claiming they can show you how to make money fast.

I just typed in “make money online now” and found 2 top sponsored sites.  What I found was ” a fast cash system that makes you £300 per day”

I decided to investigate this claim and what I found was a so called “system” that you are supposed to use at online casinos.  The so called system is basically a double up if you lose method on roulette.

Yes it is true that if you keep doubling up on roulette, you won’t lose your deposit (if you can keep up with the cumulative deposit needed), but you will only ever win that initial bet back.  i.e. if your first bet was $1, no matter how many bets it takes you to win, you will only ever win $1.  (They don’t tell you that on their site!)

If you repeat this process 300 times, you get $300.  (assuming the casino doesn’t catch you doing this pattern which of course they will keep an eye on your “technique”)  In a real life casino, you would get banned straight away.  No doubt.

The whole idea of giving you this idea is the hope that you will click on their affiliate link to join these online casinos where they get paid a commission.  So do you really think they make money with the technique they just told you or the real way they make their money is by getting you to join the casinos?  It’s not rocket science is it?

The point isn’t about the legalities or if this technique works or not.  The point is that making money online by playing the casinos is not a real business building pastime.  Sure you can make a few bucks mindlessly clicking away for hours before you get caught and banned - and the casinos always watch you no matter what others say.

A lot of people out there fall for these smooth talking sites due to the appeal to the human emotion.

Sit back and think.  Don’t let greediness be your achilles heel.

If someone claims that they can show you how to make money online now or make money online fast, think twice.

Money does not just drop down onto your lap like that.

Advice on how to make money online

Posted: January 6th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Articles | Tags: , , , | 1 Comment »

For advice on ways that really help you make money online, see my free report here.

People often ask me for advice on how to make money online.

This is a common question and there are many “experts” who give advice on how to make money online too.

Like many things involving this niche on the internet, there are many traps and pitfalls to be mindful of.  The first thing to note when you are taking advice from people online is to find out who they are and what they promote.  For example if you want to learn how to make money online using blogs, the best way to find out how to do it is to find a person who actually does it well and has a track record for it.  This can be done with some reasearch on google, but please be cautious as you do need to sift through information that could be completely biased (due to affiliates promoting the “expert’s” products) or very opinionated views.

Some material could well be self promotion material such as the expert’s own site or blog.  You really need to use your instincts to gauge what you read about.

Advice given from PPC (pay per click) ads on google tend to be promotional material designed to make money from you, so I would be very wary of getting “advice” from such sources.  One of the better ways is to go to forums on your topic which have a lot of input from various sources.  This tends to weed out the phoney self promoting marketers though you still need to be careful of what you listen to.

On a personal level, I can tell you that during the past few years, I fell for many traps and got conned quite a few times listening to so called advice online.  It took a step learning curve for me to get to where I am now and finally figure it all out.  I guess it was some trial and error - something I do not recommend if you can help it.

There is a much easier way.  You can learn all about it by reading my report here. It tells you what I went through and what I eventually discovered……Well worth a read.
