I'm curious about that www.16earn.com

Is it worth filling out the form? Do they blast you with spam after you've filled it out?

hi there carly! I don't know if I would or not. I don't think I'd risk the chance because alot of those things are scams.

A guy I work with his wife signed up for one of these and got 13 money orders in the mail for the same amount of money.

She was to cash them keep 10% and send the rest on to some place in England I think.

Well they took the money orders to the bank to have them checked and they were fakes.

It was some money laundering scam.

It was good she didn't cash them.

Carly, I made the mistake of checking out several of those sites awhile back - most of them are bait to get you to invest in your own multi-level marketing business, frequently at high start-up costs. If you do decide to investigate any of these sites, my suggestion is to create a distinct email address for that purpose that can conveniently be POOFED when the spam becomes too annoying. [devil]

Yes Carly- I would leave alone. I tryed one and they wanted you to pay for a years subscribtion. So I didn't bother. This was on the news last week, how people are falling for it. They said "If it sounds to good to be true" then its fake. [wavey]

Thanks, all.
