Money Making Programs, and Paypal

Here is a quick word to the wise... if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The sad thing is sometimes its too late and you have already reaped the rewards of a great program only to find out that its agains Paypal's Acceptable Use Policy, (AUP).
You find a great program, that promises riches and no waiting to receive your earnings. Perfect example is programs like $5 by the Millions. You purchase into the program and start promoting, and people buy it. It's a great program, but it falls into a grey area with Paypal. Paypal dislikes anything thats a so-called get rich quick program. And $5 by the Millions is exactly that. The slogan "Millions of people want to give you $5 each" is a tell-tale sign that Paypal will put limitations on your account if they catch you promoting it with their logos.

There are alot of similar programs out there. One key way to find out whether they are good or bad is if they promise payments directly to your Paypal account. Sadly these programs are
great because people buy into them like crazy, the purchaser of the program does see great returns and has everything great to say about it, but by then its too late and they get an e-mail from Paypal explaining that their account has had permenant limitations put on it. These limitations are: not being able to send money, or recieve money, as well as not being able to close you account with Paypal. Basically your Paypal account becomes useless.
There are ways to get those limitations lifted. From my experience you just need to remove the Paypal logo and any other affiliations to Paypal from the site. Now with this in mind, alot of the programs like this give you no control over the site, and in the worst case scenerio, admin of the site is completely unreachable.
On that note here is what I say about these programs. If a program promises fast cash direct to
your Paypal account, contact the admin of the site and see if they have heard of anyone having problems promoting the site and getting in trouble with Paypal. Also just by contacting the admin alone will tell you in their response what kind of support you might get with this program. Remember as a consumer online, you have the power you need to protect yourself, via search engines searching for scams and just keeping a extra biased that every program out there could be out to scam you.
Cheers to your success in finding out the good from the bad.

Hi

Thank you for the information, it is very useful to all online marketer.

I have a bad experience. I paid to this "get paid to read email website" for gold membership but after two months, my status is still unchanged and no responses from the support and admin to my several emails.
