Drop Shipping

I have recently purchased a Cellphone Case on eBay for my friend I had a conversation with the seller, he told me he was from India and that the phone case would ship from South Korea. I was interested how this was possible, so I did some research on the internet, and I found some scams associated with Drop Shipping.

Dropping Shipping is a retail technique that some online sellers use, typically seen on eBay and small business websites. The basic idea is that the store does not carry any inventory. When someone orders a product from the retailer, the seller get a manufacturer or wholesaler to send out the purchased good to the customer.
The money is made from the difference of the retail price and the wholesale price and possible commissions.

What I encountered were websites that supposedly sell you a list with contacts to drop shipping companies.
People that have no clue how to start off a business using Drop Shipping usually fall victim.

The list usually sends the victims to a middle man between them and a REAL Drop Shipping company. They are offered products at upraised prices and leave the victims with very little to no profit and all, and they charge fees to have access to their horrendous middle man services.

Drop shipping is a real way to make money, but beware of these quick money scams. Anyone asking for a service fee is no doubt a middle man. Finding a Drop Shipping company takes time and effort, why would they choose you out of all the people on the internet? Show that you have interest, you have what it takes, and that you have something to offer to their company.

eBooks and Affiliate Links

Have you ever downloaded an eBook that just had way too many links. Does it seem like their trying to sell a membership to a certain website? Well that's because they are.

Many websites offer Affiliate Programs that offer affiliate members money to advertise their website. Basically every time you click an affiliate link you could be helping someone earn money, and if you sign up to their website they also get money. There are quite a few people that earn 3-4 figures in a month or even in a couple weeks using this money making scheme.

These ebooks may not be a complete scam, but a lot of the information are paraphrased from other books. And the overall authenticity and the writing involved is just copy & pasted and slightly changed a little bit in hopes that you may click their links.

At Home Game Testing

Back in High School I remember one of my classmates told me about making money testing games at home. He seemed like a trustworthy guy from what I knew about him at that time. But in reality he could have been a compulsive liar. He gave me a link to a website that gave me a really good sales pitch. I was hooked and fascinated at the opportunity they offered. They had a 100% money back guarantee so I was like why not give it a try. I signed up using money I had in my Paypal account. They sent me my log in info to my email. I was eager to start and make some easy money. I quickly type the url of the website and proceed to log on. A big disappointment awaited me. The website offered basically a database of links to some classified sites. None of which would help you really get you an "At Home Game Testing" job. There was a nice e-book that tried to make you feel good about yourself. Just a bunch of Bullshit, I realized that this was completely a scam devised by someone to make money of idiots like me.

At least I got my money refunded back to me, but I still felt utterly ripped off. I hated myself for falling for such an idiotic scam. But I must give credit to the guy who made this site.

It is targeted very well to teenagers, the unemployed, gamers, and lazy ****s

Websites selling you a membership to become "At Home Game Testers" are all SCAMS.

First Post: Hello World!

Hi, this is my first post to my blog.

I'm hoping to educate everyone about the disease of the internet which are scams!

I've fallen victim to some of them in my earlier years of using the world wide web.

I've always wanted to write a blog, but I wasn't sure what to write about. I have too many interests but I am also not knowledgeable enough in any of them to write about. You could call me a Jack of All Trades Master of None. Enjoy my followings posts, some will be from experience, some from research and my constant lurking of the internet, and others will be from friends and worth of mouth.
