Scams, Spams, and Get Rich Quick Schemes
posted March 19, 2008 - 8:00pmI would love to make a big income working from home, make a ton of money in my pyjamas, and over the years, I have tried, mostly unsuccessfully, many ventures. Many of which cost me a goodly amount and netted my next to nothing.
Assembling products: Cost me over 50$
for start up. My start up package consisted of one sample product, and enough material to make one item, (probably worth about eight bucks), you buy enough material from a craft store and make a bunch more then they may or may not purchase them from you - not for me.
Multi level marketing: The cookie cutter method, the products are absolutely marvelous...but I could not sell enough merchandise or sign enough people up to justify all the costs - it may work for some, but not this cookie (not enough dough).
Stuffing envelopes: Ha, send a dollar and a self addressed, stamped envelope get a poor quality flyer that asks for more money for a start up package. Oh,and by the way I would have to solicit the addresses by spamming. Not exactly what I had in mind.
900 numbers: That was a real expensive boo boo. Invested 200$ to "sign up" plus advertising and made zero percent back... another legitimate scam.
If legitimate work from home business opportunities want people without having their time wasted, they will ask for a resume with references. I did have one work from home job that cost me nothing and actually did make some money, not a lot at first but enough to survive a while. I had to work hard for it, had a phone on my hip 24 hours a day. I read Tarot cards, (I really do read them) but had to take calls all hours of the day and night to get anywhere with it.
I have since taken the "sucker" stamp off of my head and will not ever pay for work or get ripped off again. I haven't made my fortune yet but am doing well and will someday hit my gold mine. If you read this try to remember my wasted money and time, and learn from my mistake.
