Scam, Flim Flam, Cheat, Swindle or What

Well Income4Free came back, or at least the site did with nothing but zeros for balances etc. The referral members are still showing in my back office.

I cannot call them scams at this point. I have not lost a penny, just wasted some time on Income4Free, Forex4Free, and InvestmentCapital.Biz . The Investment Capital site is not coming up for me.  That has been going on for some time.

Is Investment Capital gone or will it come back later on also.  And really what is going on with all of these free programs?  Ah, time will tell.

As for Forex4Free I got the following email from bonus@forex4free.org on Dec 23, or at least that is what it was dated:

Hi to every member,
we wish you a merry chrismas and a very good 2011. We will do our best to make the new year to a perfect financial year for you.
Our plans:
We want to convince you and make sure that you understand that we are serios and we do the best for you.
1. Everybody will get aroud 50$ to see how our traders working, live. You will see every trade and you can see even the negative trades. You can see how the money is growing.
2. Then we will send out the promised money to everybody after a few weeks only, with that we make sure that people are not running away with the money instead of investing it.
That is our plan and we will start in the early  new year.
Please send this message to your people because some of them might not get these Newsletter.

I have always stated that all of these free things are just a bonus if they work out and not to deposit any funds with them as you may just be throwing it away.  But that is up to you, of course.

So just wait and see, not much else to do, is there?

I wonder why more people are not joining Me2Everyone as that site is progressing and you get 2000 free shares (or perhaps Metoos is what they are changing to) plus 5000 shares if you bring in another member signing up under your referral url.  Bring in 5 and you would have 27,000 shares.

They are building a comprehensive 3D website, they have social site and will have games and much much more coming for Me2everyone. There are real people there and you can get to know them on their Be Social site which is accessible when you log in and click on Be Social.

Kooday is also going very well. I am still receiving weekly withdrawals. Also members continue to buy some of my keywords.  I previously mentioned getting a nice Christmas bonus.

Surprisingly, Synergy Money also is going very well. I got several nice bonuses from them also. They are giving away more money as they have a contest running.  You must be a member and upgrade running.  But that is quite cheap to do.

In case I do not get back to wish you this,  I wish you a happy, healthy, prosperous NEW YEAR!

Cheers,

Gene

Alert, How to Un-Alert? Egg on Face

I sent out an alert on this one.  AutomaticOnlineProfits

On the surface it did seem like it had some good potential, sign up free, check it out and a notification in the back office to this effect:

Official Launch Reminder: When we reach the official live launch date you will be asked to become an active member for only $12. Once you choose to do that, we will immediately start marketing your Automatic Online Profits affiliate link to virtually millions of targeted prospects with our patent pending ‘Online Traffic Spinner’ Software. Thats a cost of less than five cents per day for advertising on complete auto-pilot.  An incredible value considering that we even guarantee you customers for such small investment.

Going a step further, which I should have done before sending out an alert,  I discovered this:

How much does it cost to be an Automatic Online Profits Member?

There is a recurring monthly fee of $39.99 to be a member as a basic member and a recurring monthly fee of $149.99 to be a smart choice member of the Automatic Online Profits Team. There are also optional fees if you purchase one of the Automatic Advertising Packages.

This is not going to happen for most folks. Notta chance.  It is a slick marketing gimmick.  I do not like this at all.  The person who sent it to me did not know about this either.  So that is a double “notta” good.

Ok, no real damage done here as it is free to sign up.  They do say they will place paying members under you.  Still I have never seen any of these types of massive marketing systems work, at least not for me and not for most folks I know.

Sorry for wasting your time but I had to post this for obvious reasons.  I.E. What Not To Do On The Net!

One of the things I value is honesty and being credible. If I see something that does not add up, does not add value to what I am doing and that applies to anyone I may introduce something to.  If I believe something would not be beneficial to you, I would not suggest it.

I would not label it as a scam as I rarely do that. Some would label it as a scam, for sure. Certainly not a real honest way to present something.  Ah I guess this means always read the fine print.

Ok, the good news, I have created a new category. What Not To Do On The Net.  Well I already have a category called Not Recommended so it goes there also. How about Do Not Waste Your Time On This! Beware of the crap out there.

Cheers,

Gene

Big Scam Ponzi Men, One’s Going to the Pen

Well that is one big scam by a real ponzi man.  My spell check wanted to change ponzi man to pansy man and almost made it in. Silly, silly, silly  spell check.

It was announced that Bernard Madoff was stripped of all his possessions under a 171 billion dollar, yes that is correct, billion, forfeiture order and he is facing life in prison, well unless he can live beyond another 150 years they are seeking for him.  Since he is 71 now, that is not very likely.  Way to go ponzi man.

The magnitude of this kind of makes all those scams on the net look really puny.  Not that they do not hurt folks in the wallet at times though.  Still as mentioned before, play smartly if you dare to tread in the ponzi waters.  Or save your money for something else.  You decide.

AdVentures4U is still going strongly.  Many are in this now and yes it does depend on money coming in for it to continue.  So does that make it a pansy or a ponzi?  Hehehe. You decide.

Toyota Rav4 Speaking of Free, Home Hardware (Canada) are giving away a brand new Toyota Rav4.  Well 3 of them actually.  Now that is a nice prize.  If qualified make sure you enter only once.  The Rav4 is produced in Canada, Woodstock, Ontario. Imagine that. Other models are made in Canada also.  That was smart thinking by the Japanese to build locally.

I may post a separate page of Free Offers on top, well I will actually. So be on the look out for that and if you know of any very good ones, drop me a line or make a comment here on this web site.

BTW if you joined SQIP, Me2Everyone or both, make sure you add me as a friend in there.  I will be uploading some photos and Me2Everyone is going to give away 10 million shares very soon.  Don’t wait to join and suggest this to friends.  Hey they may win and if you have referred someone, you will win something also.  Of course they are working towards building a huge site and business.

Bigger than Facebook and those other social networks.  Who knows? Then when it is in place they will sell and everyone will make money.  That is the theory and I sure hope they are correct in that vision.  Lots of activity coming in Me2Everyone and also SQIP. M2E are announcing new things daily.

SQIP has increased the valuation to .82 Euros and one day could go to 5, 10 or 20 Euros based on their model being very successful.  Anyone both of these are still free to join and have instant value.

I will be posting some photos in there as that is part of the free component as well as much more.

Cheers,

Gene
