A fool and his money are soon parted.
The moment someone says that he will make me rich through some secret method I am wary. Most of these sort of sales are "Desperate Sales" to persons who are on the brink.

There appear to be many methods of swindling people. A book of scams needs to be prepared. The first post on this thread is a little odd.

It is very disheartening how people are scammed on the internet.

My theory is and always has been -- if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I have a home business and I often have people inquire about my business opportunity and I am always up front with them that they can be successful, but it does take work.

I think alot of people today are just looking for a "quick" way to make money -- a legitimate home business does take effort, time, and commitment.

Just like there are many scammers out there, there are also many legitimate deals and opportunities as well. Do as much research as possible before getting involved.

All of us need to be aware what are the tactics of those scammers so we won't become a victim of it. It's good there are lots of articles highlighting this tactics. Just spend time reading and reading.

I often experience the best way to be careful

If someone tell you that much money you can earn in short time ,then we can delete it .It is impossible that we can earn money without effort .

There's a big different between a "Get Rich Quick Scheme" and just getting rich quickly. The former is indeed a scheme. However, it is possible to get rich quickly AFTER doing a lot of hard work to lay the ground work... and, perhaps launch a product where the marketing, distribution, etc... are already in place to handle the demand. (I happen to know a friend of mine who was able to make a LOT of money in a short amount of time because he knew what he was doing and had the money to invest.) I venture to say that if someone just had the knowledge/skill-set (and I would include with that knowledge gut instinct and calculated risk-taking) and not necessarily a lot of money to invest that said knowledge, etc... can help a person know what to do to make a lot of money in a short amount of time where the business takes off and takes on a life of its own. Some people hire others to manage said venture after its become successful and just enjoy the profits. Others maintain involvement in order to keep the business venture successful. The bottom line is that the right product marketed in the right way at the right time to the right people can make someone millions almost overnight. But, you have to know what you're doing and be willing to put in the time to do it.
