I hate hearing about this stuff, it makes my blood boil, don’t get sucked in by these jerks that want to use and abuse you. They have one objective in mind, scam your money. You must all be vigilant when it comes to potential scams.

There’s a great article at Simply Thrifty on what questions to ask, even to the point of researching the company through the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

You have no idea who is at the end of of your Internet connection, stiffs guarenteeing you lots of money for little effort. If it sounds like “it’s too good to be true, then it probably is”, run away fast. Don’t commit any money on line, ever. Sometimes they ask for a small fee, or start up costs that you will be recouping shortly. No you won’t, these people are invisible, you’ll never see your money again.
