Its really unfortunate when people try to misuse this or any other forum. It is so tough now to find out which one is a legitemate opportunity and which one is a total scam.

The word Scam is so over-used these days it makes me SICK! Everything now is being called a scam and I am sorry but there are some very ligitimate businesses around. But I guarantee you will find a site somewhere showing all of them a scam weather they are or not! By this happening when people really run into a scam where the owner's have run off and disappeared after taking people's money, guess what, you can't even report it as a scam. The reason you can't is because some idiot (trying to promote his own business) has called 20 other ligitimate businesses a scam all over the net, knowing full well they don't have a clue if it really is or not!
My only suggestion is to NOT join anything until you get to know the person you are joining under and make sure that you are joining with someone who will work with you as a team. I would also make sure that it's not a business where you have to submit a "support ticket" to just speak to someone to get a simple question answered. (I am not saying that any business like that is a scam) I am just saying you need to have constant contact with your team and admin to be successful, In my honest opinion! I know that after trying so many different things and failing, I finally found one where I chat live daily with my other team members and the actual founder's every single day and I found success. But it took having daily motivation and group ideas and being able to get questions answered whenever I need it. That is why it is called "teamwork" !

It is also a way to attract people to look into the post. Whether the product / program is a scam or not, you still have to do your diligence on research.

Exactly my point cherie27 and johnjimat... how can you really know what the person is saying is legit, when there is a scam article about every single business out there??? The darn scam callers have screwed it up for all of us to be able to call out and tell about our real scam experiences because now you can't even believe anything that is said after seeing the word scam anymore. What a shame!

THere are many legitimate programs you can find unless you are
impatient and quick buyer~^^
Many post to this forum to attract people and make them buy their
products.
The best way to avoid them or purchasing products is
Research about company and products before you make purchase
You could ask someone in this forum, and look for feedbacks on
product.
Do not get scamed!!
Happy day~^^

I couldn't agree more on this! One of the traits of successful internet marketers is patience. As things always don't happen overnight.

Hi Carl,
Can you point out which scams you're referring to? Otherwise, your post won't be very helpful.
Thanx,
~Newbie Shield~

Oh PLEASE! I beg you don't go there.... that is my exact point above! People calling scam when they have no right to. In my honest opinion, nobody has the right to call any other business a scam unless you personally have been "taken" by that company. If this is not the case, then you have no right to call it a scam. This is the problem. For instance...someone may have tried a business and paid money and didn't give it a fair shot or did nothing and didn't make money fast enough and quit in a month or so and now want's to call it a scam. Second scenario... some people classify all MLM's, all Matrixes, and any kind of business that pays for recruiting others, as all scams. Get my meaning here?
Again, I beg you please do NOT name names unless you have personally been burned and not just because you didn't try hard enough. Majority of this kind of scam calling are all just outright lies, and are in no way productive!
Just My Opinion!

Totally! What often happens when you are new to the forum is that you get sidetracked by the google ads that are often displayed in the first post of a thread....
And honestly, instead of being quick to label something a scam, it would be more helpful to others if you shared your experiences or whatever it was that led you to believe you were scammed...
