scam

I have won a $100 gas card from a popup. I was probably drunk when I filled it in, as I would NEVER do something as stupid as giving away my personal information to an unknown third party on the internet while sober. I am a privacy freak, so whatever frame of mind I was in when I completed the contest form is beyond me.
Bottom line though is that I won. I got second prize (1st was a new Jaguar) and I used my $100 gas card for a few fill-ups at my local BP.
So... while I would not recommend giving away your personal info to strangers on the internet, sometimes it MAY actually pay off, with no consequences.

You have to submit your email, local address, sign up for a few expensive offers and also refer (sign up people) a lot of people but check out the link below for sites that are free to join, and pay you for your time and effort, I belong to a few of them and I don't spend more than a hour a day doing them! I make the minimum payout every month just by doing the free offers!

Those people just write compelling sales letter with a lot of psychological triggers, and people buy.
Stay away from these scams.
Beware also of Data entry websites. Most of them are Sams too.
If you want to work from home, you can consider Telerepsathome:

Tip: Before buying those type of programs, try to contact the owner first, ans see if he/she gets back to you.
I personaly know Tara Brewer, and she is a nice person.

They are a total waste of time for you, and they get your e-mail address to send you spam.
If I come across one and I have time to kill, I just enter a fake (usually rude) e-mail address. That's all they want, so I give them something with a bounce to it.

No they are not. They want you to purchase stuff through their vendors and they never send you anything but a lot of spam. Don't do it!

NO! And you will get a lot of junk mail. They sell your address too. And you also will get porn sites sent to you...
