Curiousity got the better of me. We have seen everywhere on the internet the advertisements, “Earn $3000 per month” or “I got $200 in just 1 hr” plastered all over the internet. Unfortunately those who did click on it and went into the website will be left frustrated as the website will only allow paid members to enter. So if you don’t fork out that USD 60.00 then you’re out.

I decided to test these advertisements out, to see for myself if I really could do what they had claimed to have earn. Who doesn’t want to earn a few hundreds by the hour right? So after filing through, I finally got the desired website I wanted, the Singapore version of Get Rich By Filling Up Surveys which had flamed the job classified ads.

Being ‘so’ righteous, I decided on not cheating them by doing the usual Black Hat PayPal trick on them and paid up the amount, a blathering USD 36.00 that is after 50% discount. (blast them!) So while I await for my “money manual”, the confirmation email and the receipt was emailed to me within seconds. (Good service when it comes to slashing our cash away)

Instead of showing me the lists of all the works I had to do, considering the ads sounded I was up for a job, what I got was totally different. It showed me a whole list of paid survey companies, Paid email companies and Mystery Shopping Companies which is not even related to Singapore. It was also not surprising to find a note from them that WE have to sign up with everyone of them and hope they will reply to us.

All THAT FOR $36.00!!! I got cheated…..

Not only that they even have a page, Bonus Extra, as a note on how to underhand Google Adsense and fiddle their system. They also give tips and notes on how to earn from affiliation by driving traffic to your website. I find this totally stupid.

You can see for yourself on the page image I took from it.

How in the world do you expect to earn anything from $0.0006 for all the clicks, surveys and emails read. A waste of time if you ask me. I can’t be always sitting in front of my computer and scouring through everyone of the paid sites to get my meager $1.00!

So let it be a lesson to everyone out there. DO NOT pay for those “Get Rich Fast” websites. Its purely stupid and a waste of money. Now I need to work extra hard just to get my USD36.00 back.

So much for their stupid testimonials. I bet all of them are from the same household.

I’m really grumbling about it. The temptation to pull my Black Hat trick on them is very tempting… Grr… But that would make me as bad as them.

    [...] 1) DON’T PAY IN ADVANCE. I have never once paid anything in advance online and made quite a sum of cash from the free service providers.– Ok previously I had paid for a Paid Survey Website. Cost me USD36.00 and I’m cursing the sour luck it brought me. You can view the event and the content of the paid surveys here. [...]

    True, my wife bought one of those “get paid for surveys” rubbish. I think she got 2 surveys in 3 months and made about 12c. Nice site by the way.
