A friend of mine just phoned me and told me he's gonna' send me an e-mail. I just need to register and download a 1MB program and *ta-daaam*, I'll start receiving money for how much I surf the net.

I found a great Internet company - xxxxxxxxx.com - that

has created a product everyone can benefit from. They

pay you while you work or play on your computer. All you

need to do is keep their software - the xxxxxxBar™ - active

while you are online. They even pay you when your friends

are using their computers.



Unlike other companies, xxxxxxx gives you control over

how much money you earn. They have an individual

payrate based on the number of Special Offers you sign

up for. As some of these offers are free, you can increase

your payrate up to 33 times without spending a penny.



It's free and easy to join and your privacy is completely protected.

Here is the link, enjoy and happy money making.

Check it out!

Their site is.... let's say very colored. After checking the FAQ (I mean why do they pay you? what's their profit?), I found this:

Q: What is xxxxxx.com all about?

A: xxxxxxx.com is a permission-based marketing company, which gives you the opportunity to make money by viewing ads on your computer screen, signing up for Special Offers, and referring your friends. Unlike other companies, xxxxx gives you control over your earnings by converting the points you have earned to cash on the basis of an individual payrate. Your monthly individual payrate depends on the number of Special Offers you sign up for during the month.


Q: Do the files I have to download in order to run the xxxxxBar™ infringe on my privacy?

A: The only purpose of the files you download is to assure the smooth functioning of the xxxxxxBar™. We do not install any additional components to gather information about you or your surfing habits.


Q: What is your ANTI-SPAM Policy? [top]

A: xxxxxx.com strictly prohibits the sending of unsolicited mass messages of any kind. Members who violate our Anti-Spam policy will have their accounts closed, their referrals will be lost, and they will forfeit any unpaid money. Click here for our complete Anti-Spam Policy.


Q: What are Direct Referrals and Indirect Referrals? [top]

A: Direct referrals are the people you inform directly and who join xxxxxx.com right after you. Indirect referrals are the people referred by your direct referrals. You will accumulate points based on your direct and indirect referrals' points up to the eighth level.


Q: What percentage of my referrals' points do I get? [top]

A: xxxxxxxx pays you for referrals up to the 8th level according to the following scheme: 15% from your direct referrals' points; 7% from 2nd level referrals, 5% from referrals of the 3rd, 4th and 5th levels, 3% from 6th level referrals and 1% from 7th and 8th level referrals.


Q: How are my referral points calculated? [top]

A: To enhance your control over the referral points you generate, xxxxxxx introduced a daily matching system: your referral points are updated every 24 hours on the basis of the time you and your referrals spend using the xxxxxBar™. To get the most from your referrals you need to match their surfing time.

I can provide more information if needed, but not the link since that would be advertising. So, what do you think about this? A scam or not?

go on LEVEL forums(the magazine..you know it) and see the plenty of banned users with topics like "make money on the net" ...that's junt plain dumb :|

[Abi79]

It's more stupid than you think. If you'd see the web page, you'd see how ugly and childish it is. I mean it only uses blue, yellow and red. (culorile steagului nostru :Brain: ) Altough it has a big FAQ (very big), I'm curious to see if my friend will receive the money via checks. (if he will, than that's going to be something new)

Well, you really can make money with this things, but not very much. You usually have to let a advertisment bar or something like that running and get some strange currency for every hour. If you let one of those things run for an entire month, without interruption you can get approx 12$ a month or something like that.

And then again they will probably cancel your account before they have to pay you.

Edit:
So I wouldn't say it's totally scam, but it isn't a great way to make money either.

Just use google with the words "....Bar™" and "spyware".
Voila and now you see what kind of crap that is.

And I bet it is active just so it can steal your passwords

was it cXsXfXeXtX.com?

[Himmler]

the best way to make money is to go get a job and break your back (or crack your skull)

Yup. How did you guess?

I see 2 people voted it's not a scam. For those who know the name (like a1s), google <name of site without .com> is a scam. Teheee. How many results. :w00t:

@Himmler: I think you're right, but that site ain't bad either. Look at it's design. It's so...beautiful. How can people think that the site is not a scam? :eeeeeh:

Oh, yes... I wish that we would get paid with 500$ ( :wub: ) for every day of school. I'd be rich

[plague]

What sounds more suspicious than free money?
