I had my first bad experience with topinstant.com.
Unfortunately the site is still there and making others fools.

It's true that there are plenty of sites out there that are merely scams. I have received plenty of junk mails on my account and was tempted for a while to register. Anyway, it's a good thing that there are sites which help sort out the scams from those that are not. If you are looking for more info on this one, you may check out www.mmo.ph. I just happened to stumble upon the site, and it's pretty good.

There is always the possibility of scams in almost any kind of job, yet, it seems that online jobs are easier to scam these days. If you are vulnerable, you will easily fall for their promises, rewards, and easy hiring procedure, which all turn out to be empty. The presence of these online job scams, unfortunately, makes finding the real jobs rather hard. This is because scammers have defined more sophisticated schemes to make their phony online jobs appear legitimate. And usually, you only find that out come payment time. So how do you avoid such working online scams? How can you tell an online job is genuine or is a mere scam?

Thanks for the warning. It seems that I don't get to visit those sites often. In other words, I don't seem to see things like "earn 50 bucks a day doing whatever ..." on the internet. I never had the idea that you can make a meaningful amount of money by simply surfing the internet.

If I ever see that kind of stuff, I will be cautious.

Well, you know that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So, be very careful; don't be tricked into doing something silly. Internet has a lot of resources, most of them very useful. If you simply surf the internet, use it to find whatever you need to find, but don't try to make a meaningful amount of money doing that alone.

Take care!

I want to add that before you join a site, you should read reviews about the site because nine times out of ten, the get-paid-to site makes themselves seem a lot better than they actually are. Searching the the get-paid-to site appending the terms, "scam" or "reviews" will help you decide if a get-paid-to is good or bad. Also, you should always read the Terms of Service of the site you are about to sign up on to see how it works. You shouldn't join sites that aren't too popular or has bad reviews because you never know which websites will scam you. Try to search for payment proofs on a search engine if you are skeptical of the legitness of a program. An important thing to note is the date of when the review or payment proof was posted. Sometimes a service will be legit for a while and suddenly become a scam so look for recent proofs/reviews.

Pyramid Schemes and Ponzi's can very rarely generate money for you but they usually get your microprocessor account terminated. Most HYIP sites are ponzi scams that recycle money from new users promising you up to a 200% return on your investment (usually $10 or higher) in as low as a week. These kinds of sites are illegal and very unstable which will usually result in the website disappearing with your money. They will seem legit at first to get a lot of people joining but one day, they will just leave.

That is very good advice. I would reiterate your advised warnings about the 'get paid to surf' and 'get paid to read email' sites. I personally have wasted a lot of time years ago on these types of schemes. Unless you don't mind working for less than your internet and electricity bill is for the time it takes, then don't bother. That is if you get paid at all. Usually the payment threshold is so high it would take you something like 200 years to reach it at the rate they pay out. It's kind of depressing to write about this and remember those early, keen days on the internet, getting taken in by all the scams. But it was a learning experience and now I know what is legit and what is not, hence I am taking part in these forums. They seem legit.
Believe it or not there actually are some good money making methods on the internet even for the little guy like you and I. I mean little in comparison to Google or Facebook or Trap17 hehe. One just has to keep thier eyes open and most importantly. USE YOUR BRAIN. Thanks for reading and good night or day to you.
