Money making online - the real thing or a scam?

Have you noticed, all these moneymaking schemes (scams?) are operating in the exact same way. First you get the email, telling you if you want to make money, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss and it won't cost you a dime. And "click here" if you are interested.

So, you click and now the spokesperson follow the next four steps:
1) First he tell you he's different than all the other people that tries to sell you their stuff. He knows what it is to be scammed and robbed of your money. He went through all these motions. He was on the verge of bankruptcy, living in a small apartment, driving a rundown station wagon and was up to his ears in debt.

2) Then, out of desperation he decided to try the internet. He lost lots of money, got scammed time and again, but then he discovered this miraculous way of making loads of money. And here, to prove he's not lying, is all his bank statements for the last couple months, showing that he made thousands and thousands of dollars every month. Oh, and he lives in a mansion now, and he and his wife are driving luxury cars and they go on holiday at least three time a year.
(Warning to the unsuspected: the moment they show you their bank statement, it's a sure indication that they are going to try to sell you something)
.
3) In stead of showing you now (for free, as he promised in the email) how to make that loads of money, he rambles on and on about how lovely and wonderful this idea of his is and how you can benefit from it. And then, after about 10 pages of this nonstop ramblings  he tells you how much this info could have cost you but if you buy now, its only going to cost you this mere amount, which is usually a stiff sum of money. Without exception he also prompts you to hurry up because he's selling so fast, maybe tomorrow will be too late.

Well, my friends, in the beginning, when I was still naive enough to trust these scammers I fell time and again for their crap. I bought and I deleted shortly afterward. Because not a single one of them could help me make money or learn me something useful. Usually they bombarded you with so many info you have no idea where to start or what to do with it, and if you are brave enough to give it a try, the pages are cluttered with so many links that you don't progress further than the first page. One link takes you to another page with more links and every one om those take you to yet another page with even more links, etc etc. In the end I am so lost and confused that I just give up and delete the entire package of worthless junk.

This I know by now. All these money making programs, schemes or whatever you call it, are the same: RUBBISH.  And the only people making money out of it is those who sell it to fools like me!
