With access to the internet, you have a multitude of information right at your fingertips.
 We can access more knowledge now than any generation prior.
 Many people are looking for ways to turn the internet as a source of extra money, but are many times taken advantage of by the people that are claiming to teach the ways of how to do it.
 These crooks will leave you with some useless software, empty promises, and a drained checking account!  Fortunately, spotting the scams is pretty easy.
 Once you know what to look for, you'll know exactly when to turn and run away! Keep your wits about you when looking at websites that will help you make money.
 If something seems like it's too good of a deal, it is.
 It's better to have passed on something like that than it is to lose a ton of money.
 Investigate any investments you make beforehand.
 Fortunately, most of the scam sites share some very common characteristics that are extremely easy to spot.
 As soon as you know what to look for, you'll know when to hit the back button!  These traits to look for are as follows.
1.
 The biggest red flag is claims that you're going to make insane profits in your sleep (or anything to that effect).
 This is also the easiest to fall for since everyone wants to do less work and make more money.
 Making money online takes hard work, and anyone that is trying to tell you otherwise just want to take your money! 2.
 Testimonials are another thing to watch out for.
 Just because a site has testimonials doesn't necessarily make it a scam site, but it does raise some red flags.
 If they have a ton of them, and they seem unrealistic, they're more than likely faked.
 It's not hard at all to add a bunch of fake testimonials to a website! 3.
 Watch out for programs that say they're free, but actually charge you a small membership fee.
 Many of these are designed to steal your credit card number.
4.
 Overemphasis of how awesome their program is should be taken with a grain of salt.
 These are trained copywriters, and are going to try and make you believe claims that your common sense normally wouldn't allow you to! 5.
 The last thing to keep an eye out for is the pop up window that tries to keep you on the site when you leave.
 This is extremely annoying and a tell tale sign that they're trying to scam you!
