Get Rich Quick

I've seen numerous schemes promising riches for a couple of hours work a week, with no capital outlay, and no particular selling or other skills required.

Has anyone here had any good or bad experiences in this?

It always amuses me that these adverts are sometimes seen on cars, usually 15 year old Toyota Corollas, which says everything.

They hook you with a false promise - then ask for money upfront or offer very low returns. Sadly, they are not what they appear to be (otherwise I'd be writing this from my yacht in the Caribbean!)

Nice answer Gravyboat. Like the script for a Marx Brothers film.

I AM, ofcourse, writing this from my yacht in the Caribbean.It was paid for by the people who signed up to my scheme. I never left any money to satisfy any judgments, the authorities will never nail me, and it was all done through a limited liability company, anyway.

So long, suckers! :)

To be serious, you CAN earn loads of money in a few hours a week - but it ain't easy and 99% of us wouldn't have the guts. Most network marketing schemes are very good businesses for those few who do it properly. But for everyone who does it properly there are thousands who don't - and then cry "foul".

I once heard a tale about someone who released a leaflet entitled "How I made a million pounds without doing any work".

The leaflet cost £10 and simply said, "I got 100,000 people to buy this leaflet".

Whether this is true or not, I don't know.

its funny you see these adverts at the back of the paper and they are as abreviated as possible like they can't spend enough money on the advert, I found the style of the advert has a lot to say for the company
