Watch out for the Paid Email Scam
Introduction
I have been exploring quite a fair bit with regards to paid to read email programs along with other on-line earning opportunities like paid to click programs. After joining numerous web sites as member, I came to realize that most of the programs are indeed scams. It is actually not difficult to tell that they are scams or not. Here are a few points to note when joining a paid email program.
Is it too good to be true?
When these programs sound too good to be true, they probably are. First we have to be pragmatic when it comes to business. Earning online is a business and when a certain business is promising you the sky and you know it cannot be true, do not fall prey to these scams. The problem with people is greed, people tends to give it a try no matter how ridiculous the claim may be. There will be people who will fall prey by these cheaters and lose their hard earned money in the process.
Paying for referrals or upgrade?
As a very important rule in online earning, do not spend money to earn money. It should be the other way round. These websites should pay you for your service. Most of the time, these websites that promised you millions of dollars if you pay for some upgrade or purchase of referrals, they wind up when their 'business' is no longer viable. Because when people do not get paid, they will start to broadcast a certain site being a scam and soon many others will get to know the news. When the news travels that the particular program could not pay any more, the owner takes the money and runs for it. The website most of the time serves international members and these people will have a problem if they want to pursue their money from a legal angle. Most of the time, the amount of money lost by members are generally small amounts, so it will not be cost effective to take legal action for the relatively small sum of money. Therefore, it is imperative not to spend any amount of money on these websites.
Learn before your earn
It is important to learn before you start to earn. Get a sensing from the site's very own official forum to see how many people are getting paid. You can also learn the current sentiment going on with this particular PTR website and how things are going. If everybody is happy and everyone gets paid, you should keep it in view with some patience. Take some time to see how things are going before jumping into it.
Just how does one discerns whether a program is genuine? Well, the answer is clear that once you get paid, it should be deemed to be genuine. Latching onto this point, there are many ways to actually find out whether a program is a scam or not. One of the many ways that has proved to be the best is to refer to community forums. One of such on-line forum community is WWW.SCAMS.COM that shed lights on a wide variation of program whether they are scam or genuine. There are of course, many other such community forums that discuss about online earning issues, but WWW.SCAMS.COM is the most comprehensive in my opinion to get information on scams and cheats. I would recommend that this is the first place to look at before investing your time and money into such high risk online earning programs.
Good research and study will probably yield some return. This is evidently what happened to me - I had uncovered some of the best programs ever. But one after another these paid email programs went bust. The only one based on my personal experience that is still paying its member, is www.emailcashpro.com. This is a PTR that is based in Singapore that serves advertisements for Asian users.
How to earn with PTR?
To a certain extend, it may be true that these programs are paying a very small amount of money, which is believed to be a waste of time to people in some quarters. Referring is the key to success, but one should not resort to buying. I have tried to get referrals through MIRC where I have recruited a couple of members for www.emailcashpro.com. In fact, it is easy to recruit members for this PTR website because it is genuine and featured in Singapore local newspapers. But what was surprising is that one of the members who was recruited for MIRC went on to recruit 100 over members on the same platform. Because most email programs comes in at a minimum of four levels of referrals, a large network of referred members under you can earn you a decent amount.
Conclusion
It is true that this amount may still not be considered as a substantial amount to some, but just measure it against the effort being put in versus the return. First of all, it does not require any form of investment. Secondly, once you created your network of recruited members, it is basically done in an auto-pilot mode. The earnings just keep coming in.
