I had a favorite way .. it's called cheating .. I am not sure if this still work .. did that many years back ..

Online Casino!!

They will usually match your initial deposit with an equal amount .. say $100 for $100 deposit ..

The catch .. you've gotta wager 5 to 10 times the amount they give you.

The trick .. to find a method of wagering so that wheter or not things are in your favour .. you will not lose much of the total wager .. this is really tricky .. ad I will divulge too much here ..

To note ..
1) Choose a reputable site
2) Check their terms and conditions
3) Do your calculations to determine which game is most favorable
4) Be mentally prepared that you may lose every single cent..
5) Do it AT YOUR OWN RISK ..

I've made a couple of hundreds that way ..

Well since the mods haven't closed this topic yet (started by a guy that doesn't even say if he got paid from it, EDIT: a moderator himself in fact! haha) I figured I'd share with you all a program that I've actually gotten money back from.

But first, let me give you my brief history of ripoffs.

I believe the first site I ever got scammed on was BePaid. They never even got so far as to start their advertisements before they went bankrupt, so I lost time on that one.
Then there was Adsense... that did the same.

There were a few less notable ones, but more recently, I lost $20 to a site called HYIPPro... They were paying everyone promptly, but they went offline and quit paying one day in late January... 10 days before I was going to get triple my money

Point being... don't risk any money you would mind losing. If you have a couple bucks to spare that you think you can live without, go for it.

There has been one site (so far) that has actually paid all of its members promptly and regularly:

Studiotraffic.com

I can honestly say that I've been paid twice already from this site (and am now in profit )

Basically, you get paid 1% per day of whatever you invest for autosurfing 100 credits. A credit is equal to a different number of sites, depending on how much you invest. For a free member (if you don't want to risk any money, they give you a $10 account level for signing up) 1 credit = 2 sites.
For an account level >$10... 1 site = 1 credit.
For an account level >$500.. 1 site = 1.5 credits
For an account level >$1000. 1 site = 2 credits.

All you do is run their autosurf window to get the 100 credits (takes about a half hour) and you'll earn 1%.

Right now, my account level is at $650, which equals $6.5 a day. I started in July with $100 invested, and compounded my earnings to pump my account level up. Now I'm earning $200 a month (after 7-8 months of compounding) and I've been paid for two months now. So you're looking at a long term investment here, rather than a get rich quick(quack) scheme

Hopefully, this site will around for quite awhile. I think it will be, because they've hired a whole support team, they have representatives all over the world, and they've managed to stick around for just about 2 years now. They have a total of 109,096 members (so stated on their main page). When I first started, they only had 18,000 haha.
They also have a ton of sub-programs that bring in revenue to keep them going.

Anyway, I highly recommend this program. They have been very reliable for me, and they have excellent support. Check out their forums, too. They have answers to a lot of questions you may have.

Theres a saying....

"If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is"

if any of that (first post) is true, every idiot would buy a second hand computer (£20) and leave it running 24/7

and every genius would write a daemon which could run in the background, and make uitself look identicl to MS IE, without ever poping anything up. Browser identification is provided by the client, and the server could never verify.

so... so we want this thread locking ???
or does anyone else want to comment on this scam ???

Haha, that reminds me of another scam I got ripped on. I think it was called AutoSurfClub. I ran my comp. day and night for 30 days, and earned over $35 and my account got mysteriously deleted the day I was allowed to request payout.
Probably wouldn't have even broke even anyway because of the electric bill I ran from having the computer on all month

All I can say is that I can vouch for studiotraffic, and you don't have to risk money, and you don't need to run the computer for 100 hours a day to make a buck

You've named a number of times that you've been scammed, but thats because your looking for an easy answer. As for studiotraffic, I haven't tried but the payouts seem to be close to nothing ($0.10 a day?). I bet few if any people are making any real money from it. On the other hand researching and investing in reputable firms such as google or yahoo is far more likely to earn you money. Yes, there is a risk, but I have invested heavyly in both overture and adwords, and have earnt back all my money.

Quick cash is just a 'hobby' of mine I'm no pro at investing or anything like that. And you'd only get $0.10 a day if you didn't invest... It's truly possible to make up to $100 a day but you'd need to boost your account level up to $10,000. I'm making $6.5 a day now, and soon to be more so all you need is patience.

That is quite the game you've got going on there....And it seems quite legit to...I got a email about it through I think it was...ah yes bravenet.com through their news letter I've been subcribed to for quite some time now.

For this I started the topic in hopes that some people who be optimistic about the company I posted to help them keep their program going.

I'm not completly sure if they are going to pay out...But so far I've made 29$ and my account has not been deleted. They pay a month after what you have earned so I expect a payment...(if any) in the next two weeks....If I do recieve a payment I intend on posting the proof on this thread...That is the reason it has not been closed yet.

If people click the link and are suckered into it that is their own problem...But it should be their decision and not a decision made by others telling them is is a complete scam (although it could very well be that).

So far there is no evidence that is for or against the factt hat this is a scam but let me post a few reason why people might have thought that in the begining:

PEoples accounts were deleted int he beginging because they did attempt to cheat and write programs to allow them to cheat as you mentioned. Also there are security mesures implemented to prevent leaving your browser running 24/7 by making the browser time out...Sot hat the user would have to reopen the window manualy showing that he or she is actively watching the ads.

Second of all they are add mroe and mroe severs to the cause to help keep it going...You can check for yourself by doing a WHOIS search of the website....So don't start bashing saying it isn't real at all.

The only reason people were banned or deleted in the begining was ebcause they did infact cheat....Espicialy the ff users...They cheated majorly and got the browser banend.

In the end of all things this company is just like google...IT will ban you the seocnd it sees any signs of cheating...Without any email varification on why. So basicly the whole matter comes down to a trust issue.

If I am not paid though I will personaly close this topic and warn people that it is a complete scam....But until then I tell people to join at their own risk...But to be optimistic about it also.

Good luck...And continue making money without working

i don't know about all this autosurf and gambling.. doesn't sound very assuring.... but there are many ways you can start a business online..
reseller hosting is one of the ways to do it.... go to google.com and type free reseller hosting to get started... i guess computinghost.com also has some great deals for reseller hosting... not sure... check out the website.

Don't get me wrong. I have high hopes that you do get paid from it. It ticks me off when I see a fellow have his time wasted on something like this. When I mentioned getting my account deleted, I wasn't referring to your autosurf thing you started this topic on, I was talking about another one. In the one I mentioned, I had a friend sign up that didn't get his account deleted, and never received payout.... so it wasn't a matter of "trust" at that particular site, because they scammed everybody.

Let us know how it goes. I wish you the best of luck

I know...I was referring to a link somebody produced at the begining saying it was a scam....

All I know is that if it's a scam I can't understand why they still have so many users doing it...I don't know though...I will tell you if it's a scam in about two weeks from now when I'm supposed ot get my payout .....*crosses fingers*

although a lil hope would be nice to
