Lately there has been a lot of emails coming to me about making money. Especially after I posted a "for hire" ad on craigslist. From my simple instructions you will know what steps to take in order to see for sure whether an ad is a scam or not.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • internet
  • time
  • typing skills
  1. Step 1

    First of all it is important to let you all know that there is no quick way to get rich. Becoming rich takes hard work and through the time and effort you put in your efficiency level grows and then you get some money. You have to be a great something in order to be rich. A great seamstress, a great poet, a great painter, a great mathematician...e.t.c. Your skills and your ability to implement something that is of use to someone will make money for you.

  2. Step 2

    There are many Get Rich ads circulating around our emails and even through ehow now. I just recieved some on eHow regarding Google Cash. The criminals infiltrate our system by acting as if they are members that are reading our articles, rating us and helping us. In fact, they are just promoting their Google Cash scams trying to lure us into falling into their trap.

  3. Step 3

    A good way to know whether an ad is a scam is to type it into the google box. Type in for example, "Is Google Cash a Scam?" and see what pops up. Also type in: http://www.ripoffreport.com/ and see whether the ad has been mentioned in there. Keep typing in the ad name in the google box and see what pops up. Read the articles carefully and see how the scams work.

  4. Step 4

    There are vultures out there planning on preying on hard working good people like ourselves for their own benefit. Remember to never fall prey into any Get Rich quick schemes-- this includes everything from sites that offer high interests rates in a different country to strange emails that pop up in your mail box offering you a small story of how an ad changed someones life and how it can benefit you. You have been warned. Be aware and be safe.

Tips & Warnings
  • If it seems fishy, it is. Check it out. Even if there are advertisement logos that you know of like CNN or CNSBC or anything else, remember the crooks can cut and paste this onto their site and that it is not necessarily genuine.
  • Remember getting rich takes time, effort and some money unless you are good at using your talents that are cost free to you such as joke telling.
  • I will not be liable for any damages.
