Yes, we really have to be cautious and we should not easily trust anyone. There’s a lot of scams around online and offline, trying to lure you to give in. You always have to think twice or make a research before believing in something, especially opportunities that promise you to give a huge income, but it will just waste your time and effort, or worse, that you will release money for nothing. We have to be vigilant all the time.

You are right, Michelle; do not easily trust anybody you do not know especially on social media. They are pretending to be so friendly, but then they will scam you.

The old adage “not to trust any strangers” and that “there are only two kind of people in the world, the one making fool of other and the one being fool” is quite true and assume real importance in the Cyber or Computer Age.

The same is true with the line of the poem “Desiderata” to that effect to “remember that the world is full of trickery”.

One must really be cautious in his or her worldly affairs not only online or in the virtual world but in the real/physical world itself outside of the internet.

If is too good to be true then for sure there must be something fishy that is going on.

The approach of any scammer or fraudsters for that matter is to appeal first and foremost to human frailty and weakness—the love of money, greed and selfishness and the easy-quick-rich approach.

For who don’t want or need money? For who don’t want to quickly get ahead in life or to be an instant millionaires for that matter?

This is where human weakness lies that is being exploited and will continue to be exploited by any fraudsters or scammers against the unsuspecting victims or potential victims.

I often tell others that if anyone for that matter is asking money online even for a single cent then for sure it is 100% scams or fraud.

It will be otherwise if they are the one who will immediate handed to us the money and not the other way around.

Any scams, fraud or swindling is as old as the presence of evil in the world. We must always be aware of this fact and be on the alert to open our eyes and mind.
Remember also that it is better to be safe than sorry or have a regrets in the end.

hi to be real i tried for years to make money online but until now no i couldnt find good site to make even money to buy from supermarket, now i joind literacy base and hope they will really do difference in my idea about earning online. thanks for the post and info

Nice to hear your experience and story with online sites. I was trying for online which is legit for many years but was unable to find one. Only three months ago I happened to find this particular site and I have already been paid once. I am planning to finish my target and trying to receive my second payment too.

From my experience with Literacybase till date I can tell I have seen many people earn and get paid so if you reach your target and redeem your amount and all your account with paypal and this site and the bank and the credit or debit card are properly linked then you will not have any issues as I have been paid. Regarding online sites and earning. I have yet to come across something where one can legitimately earn around minimum or USD 500 if one works full time. I am searching for such a site. Best of luck for your payment from this site.

Well, from your stories I now believe one can earn online. I have searched endlessly for an online job, but all to no avail. It’s worse for those of us outside the United States, nothing seems to work for Africans, especially Nigerians. It gets frustrating most times even with my paypal account. I managed to come across just one called paidviewpoint which accepted Nigeria as a country for payment, but I must confess the money does not come on a platter of gold. I have been on it since February, trying very hard to get 9000 points to be paid, but I’m still on 2964 it gets even harder for us Nigerians, because the surveys don’t come that often as it would for US citizens. I’m yet to get paid on Literacy base which I stumbled upon just two days ago all in the bid to get an online job. I’m believing God for a miracle. The day I get paid will be a day to remember.
