Its time to wake up & smell the coffee general scam warning
I've been in Internet Marketing for a long time.
I learned the hard way - there is no easy way.
HYIP, cash gifting, cyclers, doublers etcetera - they are designed to seperate you from your money or your time.
I've been active in Apsense for a little while and it distresses me to see some of the garbage that is being promoted by people who should know better, assuming that they are 18 and are of sound mind and body.
Lets cut to the chase
Paybox is a scam - pure and simple - the money isn't real - you are wasting your time.
This get $20 every week junk site that people are falling over themselves to promote is dangerous - don't believe me check out Dawie's blog post here
Don't fool yourself that what you are doing and promoting is harmless and it's only a little bit of money. If you promote something that is a scam you can go to jail.
If you don't believe me check out 12 Daily pro - just Google it - that was a case of the whole Internet Marketing community taking leave of their senses. People lost their homes over that one. Some people lost their freedom.
Their is good money to be made on the Internet - if you are prepared to work hard and build an online business.
Forget clicking for a few cents and if I see another Ask Apsense question that says how can I earn more money here. I think I'll lose the rest of my hair. This is not a PTC site - it is a legitimate online networking site - treat it as such and you will be rewarded - as you sow so shall you reap.
There is nothing new under the sun - money does not appear from nowhere. Find a niche that needs filling, then find suitable products to sell it and build a real business.
I feel better now

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Yes, there are scams and gimmicks to separate one form their money, and yes it sucks. But to say the being being sucked in are stupid or blind is not fair.
The culprits are the perpetrators of this scams not those that fall prey. I am an educated man, been around the block a few times so to speak, and even I on occasion have fallen victim to these scams.
BTW, I joined Paybox simply because I misread a comment posted by Bj. It was late at night, I wa

Thank you Mark!
I am ashamed to say that I jumped on that like a starving dog to a steak.And worse yet; I wasted no time barking it to my friends/partners. I did not research;I saw $$$ and wham I was off and running. I KNEW BETTER; but these are desperate times for many and; well....I had to send a deep apology to everyone and in my haste I clouded their trust. That will be hard to repair.

Just be careful you don't throw the baby out with the bath water. I have made thousands of dollars from programs people called scams, you just need to do your own research. Not everyone wants or needs a business, I am just looking for the money and getting it.

Well put Mark, yes just writing what one feels and saying it like it is, is a great way to get rid of stress.
I do that too, and after typing up the fact, i can breathe again.
That question you are referring too have been going on since the ASK section started. Bill, Cheryl, Myself and too many to mention have been answering that one almost daily. I think i am going to start copy and paste that damn answer, my keyboard is getting pummeled every time i read that one.
Whats still getting me aft
