Money seems too good to be true

VeritasVR

So I was looking at some financial advice websites (yeah yeah), and stumbled across this link, http://cashcrate.com/ , that the author says is true and not a scam.

What's the catch, really? If it were this easy, it wouldn't be a secret, right? I mean, how hard could it be to complete surveys and review things?

When things sound too good to be true they normally are. Also when someone says its not a scam it normally is. I know some of those I've read in the past, at least one of the items you have to "try" is a credit card that you must spend x amount of dollars towards and keep the balance for x amount of time.

These things almost invariably tend to fall under the following five categories:

1) Complete the surveys and get paid for your time at a rate of $3/hr, or in "rewards dollars" you can cash in for coupons to Pizza Hut

2) Complete the surveys and get paid for your time right after you complete three of these offers from our sponsors

3) Get paid to write reviews for herbal viagra on hundreds of message boards

4) Get paid to write reviews for our get-rich-quick scheme, we'll give you a 10% cut of the profits off any new 'reviewers' you get to buy our get-rich-quick scheme

5) Get paid for easy data entry filling out Captchas for spam outfits who need hundreds of bogus email addresses

There's no easy money on the internet (and if there was, who would tell you and give themselves competition?)

Those surveys pay pennies if you're lucky. I recall some surveys paying 1/10 of a cent.

In other words probably not worth your time.

DO NOT do this.

I tried this for HOURS, filling 'surveys', all it did was take me to promotional sites, never finish ANYTHING and never give me a fucking God damn dime without signing up for 'something else omfg awesomesauce!' (Which I never did, thankfully)... DON'T try this. It IS a scam, and it is NOT that easy to make money.

I learned that thankfully by only wasting my time and not my credit card.

Cash Crate is not a scam, but it isn't exactly free money.

For example they will tell you to sign up for a free trial of BlockBuster Total Access. This costs you $9.95 and the payout is $20.50. Or they will tell you to sign up for a free trial at some new auctioning website and while signing up costs you nothing they stipulate you have to purchase something to get paid out.

So you have to sign up for a lot of shit and then if you end up not wanting it you have the option of canceling all the shit you signed up for while keeping the money you earned. There is the part I think you will find that this is not worth it. Especially if you used credit cards or gave out debit info to sign up for this stuff.

edit: if you want to make some real chump change (and believe me that's what it is) try some HITs at Amazon.

Fair nuff guys, thanks.

This can be locked into oblivion.
