Recently there have been ads on TV telling the viewer to log on to such and such website to start making lots of money. Then they have “testimonials” of people that make upwards of $7,000 or more per month. Of course, the usual disclaimer is there that says something along the lines of “your results may vary”.
I realize that if something sounds to good to be true, it usually always is. But my question is, has anyone ever looked into this and if so, what is it a person has to do to make all that money?
The sad thing about this is that some where out there is a website that will actually make you lots of money. The odds of finding such a place are so rare that people won’t even bother looking. It is sort of like playing the lottery, except that if you are smart, you will loose more time than money.

And back when 60 minutes II was on, I forget his name but the guy that is on in the same time slot Andy Rooney is at on 60 minutes tried to give away a free $20 bill by calling people up.

Get up to 2 cellphones for just $9.97 each a month. Oh, wait. You have to already have 2 cellphones on the same account at $59.97 a month each. So you really have to spend $140 each month to get a 3rd and 4th phone.
