I`m thinking it might be useful to have a topic anyone can add to, whenever they run across a new scam for making money quick on the Inner Net. With all the people asking how to start a business, what idea they can use, and so forth, they`re ripe for being taken.

Interent Speedway
Source (heard about it where?): Radio commercials.
Analysis Article: Guru Busters (http://www.gurubusters.com/index.php)
Author of Analysis: Dani Mendez
Summary:
Internet Speedway is a company that has been doing some aggressive advertising over the radio.  They claim that they will give you a free CD and help you start an online e-commerce business.

Many people have spoken out calling it an Internet Speedway Scam due to the company`s deceptive billing practices.  Most folks don`t read the fine print which states that after you request the free CD`s your trial period starts.  After 30 days your credit card will be billed 5 payments of $59.00, bringing your free Internet Speedway business to a total cost of $300.

Have you heard of Yuwie.com - claims to be a new social network that you get paid for on referrals?

I Just had a reply to a previous post of mine recommending it and wasn`t sure what to make of it? Its it legit?

Anyone?

Let`s see if we can get someone who`s seen it, tried it, or otherwise knows something.

I looked it over, nothing either new or different there. Just another great AdSense revenue generator for someone, and a really neat way for you to get spammed all the more. Use a throw-away email addy for this, just like all the other spam generators you join.

Other than that, it look on the up and up - so far.

Hello!!

Before making a new post I`d thought I`d come here to see what this community is saying about YUWIE.  I didn`t find much.  I did find you guys though.

Here`s what I have to say about YUWIE:

I joined YUWIE  a week ago.  It took me some time to join because I didn`t want to belong to one more thing that I didn`t have time to devote to.

I happened to run across someone who is making money on YUWIE on my birthday and wanted to try something new.  I was happy about it.

Then the punches started rolling in!!  I spent a little bit of time on YUWIE pokin around at people`s profiles.  Then I started bumping into people really making some money from a social networking company.

Anyone who signs up I`ll lead you to the high rollers.  They are great people to be friends with too!!

Some Thoughts to Ponder

-- MySpace gets over 20 million dollars a month for their over 260 some MILLION members to be active

-- MySpace DOESN`T give a dime to folks to go on there and post a blog, picture, comment, update your file, whatever there is to do on a social networking site.

-- What could hurt?  Even if you joined, got active, built your business;   what did you lose?  More FREE advertising for your business?  A little bit of time?  The ability to get paid to advertise your business?  (when did you last hear of that?--someone PAYING you to advertise your business?)

How does that hurt anyone?

Is it a scam?  Well true, you have to find out for yourself.  You can go ahead and sit back and watch me as the months roll by as I`ll come back and show my YUWIE growth and earnings.  Then you can decide when is the right time for you to be coming in.

I`d like to advertise for you.

Anyone who uses this sign up I would like to help you get your name and your business out there.  Just go ahead and give it a try.  Like retired says, use a dummy email if you`d like (although I`ve never had issues with YUWIE), spend a little time on it if you`d like.

Do you have a video about your product?  A website?  What are you using right now to promote your product?  Sign up here and I`ll put your video or website or logo or whatever it is that you have on my YUWIE as an EXTRA measure to market your product/service.

-- See you on the net!!

Vietitali!!

Just curious, but did anyone ever discover if this was legit or not? This Yuwie business?
