For those who were curious about that ad--

where it says "Christian Mom makes 5K/month...."

I checked it out. In fact, I paid the $2.95 shipping costs only to find out on the next page after they got the $2.95 that they would also continue to bill you $69.99 a month for each month unless you called within 7 days to cancel.

To someone, it might be worth checking out-- but to me... I had enough monthly bills. So I cancelled.

If anyone else decides to do this, and they start getting rich-- let us know.

I am not a risk taker.

It was a legitimate way to make money through a reputable company. The monthly fee was for continued use of their software. I thought the monthly fee was too high. If it had been $10 a month, I might have tried it to see how well I could have done with it. Or even if they'd charged a one time fee for access to the program. The monthly fee forever... was just more than I was willing to pay.

Someone who has time and a little money to spend monthly on the software rights-- might do very well.

Just based on this little bit of info, it sounds like you are paying them to use YOUR computer to send SPAM and host web ads. (Probably with you raking in the massive revenue generated.)

Sis. Tina,

I am not a risk taker either. Seen too may friends, relatives, etc. take
risks and lose a lot. But I read in the Bible where it says to "Trust in the
LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he shall direct thy paths. Prov.3:5,6
I have found this to be wise.

I Tim. 6:17, KJV
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded,
nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us rich-
ly all things to enjoy;


We have a Wonderful Counselor, if we would just listen to His Word, and
obey it. Save ourselves a lot of .. $$, time and trouble!

Hugs,

Falla39

The only one making 5K a month is the one heading up this pyramid scheme!

Got an idea,

If you will send me 69.00 a month, and get 5 people under you to send me 69.00 a month, call me an upline, then I will get rich!

What you say? Any takers!

Utah is the scam capitol of the nation!

There ain't no free lunch. The old-- if it sounds too good to be true.....


The sad part of all this is that those that sign up usually don't have the money to lose...

Somtimes you just have to be cynical..
