If not all but most of us are affected by the recession. Lots of people lost their jobs and trying to make ends meet. It is so sad to see that these scammer's used this recession as opportunity to dig money from people who are already underwater. I have read and seen a lot of this scam issues everywhere, mostly online that they lure you on earning incredible amount of money in a day let you pay for registration and get nothing and lost your money. I don't blame the people who are victimized by the scammer, I do understand, some do pay for the registration hoping that they will earn an honest money to help survive their family but they end up being scammed. So please be aware and do not trust too much on anything so promising or too good to be true.
There are many forms of this scams; online ads, surveys, on radio's, on mails, emails all are promising you money.
