When it sounds too good to be true ...

.. it probably is.

If the person who made up that line got a penny every time somebody find himself in a similar situation, he'd probably be a multi-billionaire now.

So, I was doing my daily grind when I stumbled upon this site: KID - Keep Improving Daily -- You are still too young to learn more today. ( I really wished he didn't add the sub-title anymore, it sounds condescending to me.)

It's obviously written by a fellow Pinoy and what brought me to the side was this entry: Money Making Secrets thru Buy and Sell of Cellphones Online. In that article, he tells you his story of buying cellphone from Greenhills and selling them online with markup of about twenty percent. Considering that he's not keeping inventory, that's not a bad rate of return.

After reading this particular post I decided to explore his site and found other interesting information but it also got me to: I am earning money from SlashMySearch . In that post he claims that he's earning money (in US dollars, by the way) by using a search engine provided by SlashMySearch. A member of the site is paid a quarter USD for every hour s/he's online and using their search engine. At this point, I was telling myself that I'd probably found my road to easy money! Considering that my work is done mostly online and that I constantly scour the Internet for data and information. (Using my favorite search engine, of course: Google - all my bases are belong to google.)

It's a multi-level network modus operandi. I can use the services myself but you are encourage to recruit downlines so that you'd earn more dollars. So I googled it up and found other people posting "proof" that they (or someone else) already got paid for it.

However, taking a closer look at these proofs will tell you something else. They're using the same picture over and over again! Geesh! (And at that point, I began to wonder about the credibility of the KID site owner)

So, futher searching led me to another company with similar operandi: Agloco.

Which then brought me to this nice little site: Trader's Narrative. He wrote: Agloco: The Beginning of the End

So today's lesson are: (a) Google is a friend; (b) Alway do your homework; and (c) If it's too good to be true ...
