The last scam I fell for.... Did you?

I am always researching business ideas on the Internet. There is so much information to read. You can spend hours without realizing it. We all want to earn extra cash for whatever reason. I am no exception. I received an email using Google in the title. We all see these in our junk mail. It sounded pretty convincing. It promised you could work from home "typing forms".

I was leery about, but I visited the website anyway. Smart, I know. They guaranteed my $39.00 would be refunded if I did not make any money. I figured I didn't have a lot to loose. I signed up and waited for my log in information. I received it and proceeded to follow the instructions in the email. As I was logging in, I barely noticed a disclaimer right after you log in. I proceeded to review their website, dying to know what the work would be. And I'll be a monkey's uncle, they were talking about clickbank. Clickbank is FREE! I paid $39.00 for free information. I didn't panic. I had a guarantee right? Wrong! That little disclaimer I talked about was the catch. I had to sign over my rights to a refund in order to access the account. Wow!

To say the least, I was pissed! My only saving grace was Google was used as the shopping cart. So their name was attached to this business. I tried contacting the company first requesting my refund. I received no answer. I looked around Google's website to find a complaint form. Google researched the issue and also received no response from the business. They refunded my money. Yeah! Very professional and classy. They did not have to do this. But I am grateful they did.

What did I learn from this? Do my research a lot more before spending my hard earned money.
The website is an excellent resource. http://www.buildyoursecurity.com/
