Default I got scammed

Anytime you see an ad about a work from home business that can make you a lot of money in a short amount of time, run from it. More than likely, it is a scam. I was scammed not too long ago by a business opportunity that promised I would be making 1500, 3500, even 5500 a week or more. Well, I made abolutely nothing. I thought this business opportunity was legit because I found it in the business opportunity magazine. Now, I do know that there are some people in this business who have done quite well. I also no many that are not and did not. In essence, it does take time to build a business. Think of a business as a plant that requires nurturing, love and attention. In time, your plant will grow to be healthy and as you know a plant does not grow overnight nor will you see much growth in a week, but you will see a little bit of growth a little bit at a time. Be patient and as you sow you will reap the awards.

You are so right Lawren! It does take time to build a legitimate business. It's not that you can't make the kind of money you are talking about, it's just that it doesn't happen overnight. It takes work and dedication.

That's an excellent point, Lawren. It does take time for a business to grow, and anything that promises "overnight riches" has always set off a red flag in my head.

Lawren, you contradict your 1st post with your signature. That promised $12k over and over so perhaps we should run away from it? LOL!

You misunderstand me. The company I am referring to is another company I used to be affiliated with. I am no longer with the company that scammed me and I quit because the there were too many things I was seeing that indicated to me that this company had some problems. The one I am currently advertising here is a legitimate company formed by 3 guys. It costs only $9.97 to join and this amount of money gives you access to material that teaches you how to market online. This gives you lifetime access for less than $10 Bucks!. But, if you want to become a part of the Purple Cowboy marketing team, you have access to five additional income streams. I like this company, not only because it fits my pocketbook, but also because these guys are so helpful. They support you 110%, they train you, we have focus group trainings every week as well as online trainings where one of the guys teaches you online how to do the different marketing methods. I am sorry to have confused you. The company I was scammed by is no more. I left them.

Readoo, read you post. Does it make sense? Your English is poor at best. Maybe if you knew how to read and write, things won't be so confusing and you get scammed.
