Get-Rich-Quick scams take many variants, and if you're looking to make an extra buck online, be wary of schemes that match the following points -
- Extra discount pop-ups when you try and leave the page? They make you think you're getting a special deal when you're not.
- Large red fonts, yellow highlight and long winded sales letters? Get-Rich-Quick scammers are not great web designers, so the website or sales letter will usually look the same, a borrowed template, with outsourced graphics at the top.
- Rags to Riches story? Get-Rich-Quick scammers love rags to riches stories to help the victim relate to them. They are never true.
- Limited Offers, Limited Time or Limited Copies? It is always limited somehow with Get-Rich-Quick scams, because they want you to act hastily.
- UpSelling? Extremely infuriating is when the sales letter gets you to buy the system which will "make you a fortune" only to find out that you need to buy other upgrades if you really want to "make money."
- Tacky "Proof of Earnings" Pics or Vids? These are either fake or as a result of selling useless get-rich-quick information to other victims. Rest assured they are not a result of the "ultimate program" they are trying to flog to you.
- Secret Hush Hush Tips? Tips for making money online are endless, but there are no guaranteed groundbreaking techniques that will make anyone who tries them rich.
- Posting Links? If it involves the ambigious "posting links" then run away fast. There is no such thing as posting links and getting paid. This is an extremely vague way of describing affiliate marketing, which involves selling other peoples products through your referral link. Its certainly not as simple as posting links and getting paid!
- Fast cars and big houses? Get-Rich-Quick scams are notorious for painting the victim the picture of what it would be like to be rich, and this includes pictures of fast cars and big houses, no bills and no boss. They do this to lure the victim into the program by making them really want the program to work.
- Get-Rich-Quick? Yes thats right, get-rich-quick scams promise you will get rich quickly! There are no shortcuts to making money online fast. The cyber goldrush is over, and if you want to make real money online now, you have to work just as hard, or even harder than you would normally have to in the real world, and it doesn't happen over a few days! Sorry!
