Teen Checkup | Internet Safety

Living on the ‘Net

If you are one to always be keeping up with the latest news… then you know that the economic outlook for our country and even the world right now is pretty gloomy.

Big investment companies are failing and the stock market is less than inviting.

There are even those that are predicting that we will soon see in our country another depression the likes of which we haven’t seen since the “Great Depression of 1929.”

The concern is so real that a huge government bailout is being discussed in the Congress right now… the much talked about 700 billion dollar bailout…

There has been a tremendous increase in activity in internet and network marketing opportunities through all of this, and it doesn’t take much to figure out why.

1) There is simply no stability or future in any corporate job right now.

2) With the increasing cost of living, fuel, groceries and daycare - it is almost too expensive to have a job. Isn’t that crazy?

3)Because of the power of the internet and the way network marketing is done these days, it is much easier for anyone to make a living thru the ‘net. Even teenagers are making a fortune online.

4) There are countless home business opportunities that a person can get started in for only a few hundred dollars and the world is their market place - plus it is right at their fingertips! Imagine marketing anything to people in other countries only a few short years ago - much less picking up a phone and calling them.

(You DO want to learn the time zones before you do too much of that though or you will be waking someone up in the middle of the night! )

5)EVERYONE is looking to make an extra paycheck…. and the percentages are rising every day of the number of people searching for answers online.

So no matter if there is a 700 billion dollar bailout or not - we are in a crunch in our country and Uncle Sam will not be able to fix it soon.

It may be a good time to be thinking of taking our financial futures in our own hands - and have a bit more stability in our lives.

There is actually never been as good a time to get involved in the internet and network marketing as today… And, when we hear all the news of the “doom and gloom” variety we can smile to ourselves and realize that they are not talking about us because we took action and secured our future!

Does this look like a scam to you?

This is a SCAM. The below links gives confirmation of various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them :

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
