Pesky Emails For Making Money Online

As you go about your search on the Internet for money making opportunities, be aware of all the promotional emails you will encounter trying to get you to buy an e-book or sign up for some type of "sure thing" money making plan.

Unless you are really an expert Internet Marketer, most of these programs and money making schemes just do not produce the results that that proclaim.

I have tried many different types of programs, read and bought all sorts of e-books and it all boils down to the same old thing. You will either have to build yourself a web site or take a special affiliate link and blast it all over the internet trying to get people to your web site (traffic) or theirs while trying to make a commission on a possible sale.

You will always find that you need to spend some more money either on more training materials, email blasters and mailers and things of this nature. I even purchased for $29.95 a service that said it would send my email ad out to over one million peoples each day. I put an ad ID in the link for that service just to track how many people were clicking on the link to go to my web site.

After one month, not a single person clicked on the link and visited my web site. You would think that if they were really sending out one million emails each day that a least a few people would view the ad and check it out. Simply put, their so-called mailing was a scam, they don't really send anything out and you can't get your money back.

I suggest while you continue your search for money making offers to use free email accounts not your personal one. The free email accounts will sort out most of the emails into a spam folder and instead of reading them just delete the whole batch. The ones that land in your inbox go ahead and read through them but just be aware that most of them will be junk as well.

This happened years ago but my wife fell for this one. She received an email in one of her email accounts that stated their were looking for travel consultants. They would send her some travelers checks from their clients and would she please cash them, send back the travel information they requested and wire the money back to them but keep 10% for her commission.

She responded to the email, they sent her $5,000 worth of traveler's checks and she cashed them at the bank and wired the money back to them minus the 10% commission. She did this for three weeks without me knowing about it.

She didn't tell me about this until it was too late. While she thought she was doing us a favor by earning us a bit of extra income so I wouldn't have to work so many hours (was working 16-hour days) it all blew up in our face.

Three weeks later when I was logging into our bank account online to pay the bills I was shocked at what I found. The bank had taken all of our money out of the checking and savings account, and put a hold on our account.

Also in the regular mail that day we received an account statement from the bank, with the returned travelers checks in it marked returned, insufficient funds, and a letter stating that these checks were fake and we need to reimburse the bank the money.

To make a long story short, we filled out a police report, filed a fraud complaint and all to no avail. They took what we had in the bank (about $3,400) and we got stuck owing the bank over $10,000, which we are still making payments on today.

A very hard lesson to learn so please be aware of these types of scrams and do not get involve in them.
