Jul 31, 2009 -- Twitter work-at-home scams are all the rage

RIP-OFF ALERT: As social networking gains in popularity, so too does the prevalence of scamsters pushing supposedly amazing work-at-home opportunities.

One company called Easy Tweet Profits claims you can make up to $873/day online. They even claim one person earned $400,000/year using their method of tweeting your way to success. The catch? By signing up for their program you agree to be charged just under $50/month!

There are a whole host of other companies with similar names (usually involving "make money" or "make profits") that suggest social networking can be a cash cow. But their game is all the same.

Whether you're talking about something you see on Craigslist, MySpace, eBay, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or whatever's the next hot thing, you've got to be wary.

    Most all of these scam artists want money up front, when or IF, you sign up
    to one of these places. It's hard to know if they are ligitament or not,so how in the world do you tell??

  • WORK AT HOME
    You didn't mention a work at home business I've heard some conservative talk show host(another station not WSB);promote: INCOMEATHOME.COM.

    Does this company fall in the same catagory as a scam?

  • No "Real" Victim
    You know who falls prey to these schemes? People who don't want to work, regardless of the age-group. If the lazy want to "donate" their money to charlatans, let them.

  • Apple 3G IPhone
    The IPhone is a piece of crap. The glass face on the phone will not withstand every day use. Drop it slightly and atch the face splinter like a busted windshield. Apple knew it was too fragile but build it anyway. An egg shell is more durable. I warn you if you buy one you will regret it. I've had two and both faces cracked the moment it hit the ground form less than two feet.. Beware do not throw your money away.
