A Public Service Announcement

You're on camera. Say 'cheeeat' !

If you are a abject slacker like me, you are prone to stumble across "get rich quick" scams on the net. Apart from the run-of-the-mill nigerian scams, penis enlargement scams, here's a few common schemes on the net that 'make you money':

Autosurf for cash

Basically, an auto-sufer rotates webpages on your browser. After surfing 40 pages after 40 days, you get paid like US$8. You can cash out, or re-invest the money and continue to surf. After another 40 days, you get double the amount.

Examples: www.4daily.com

HYIP (High Yield Investment Program)

You put in a minimum amount, ie US$50. These plan 'promises' a return of 4% of your principal amount daily. Yes, every day. Utter bullshit, even Warren Buffet do not promise such returns.

Examples: Prime Fund

The problem with me, apart from being a cynic when it comes to such schemes, is that I am such a slacker that I'm too lazy even to surf 40 pages every day for 40 days.

So please, get off your lazy ass and work. There is no free Money. If not, stay on your lazy ass, but don't join these schemes.

If only I can take my own advice. That'll be great.
