Hello,

Have any of you ever come across onlinemoneymaker.org.uk?

I can't work out whether or not it is a scam!

Of course, they say on their website that it's legit but they are asking for some money for me to download their training manual which is ringing alarm bells with me.

However, they have sent me an email which includes an address in Yorkshire, and they have a twitter account, which makes me think that they are not trying to hide who they are, so it may be alright after all.

I really need to boost my income so any constructive comments on this would be very gratefully received!

Many thanks.

    Depends on what you call a scam. In this case I think you'll be paying for information that is available for free on may web sites.

    Since when does having an address in Yorkshire and a Twitter account guarantee you are legit?

    I would not pay for this.

    scam any firm with a picture of a laptop with dollars coming out of it is a scam to me, and this proves it to me,

  • Thanks for the advice guys. I am going to stay away.

    Geordie Joe, with all due respect I never said that a Yorkshire address and Twitter account guaranteed their legitimacy!
  • Bizario, the best place to learn about making money online is this website! If you read the older posts in the "Up Your Income" section you will find that people are advised not to pay for information that they can get for nothing, often from the MSE posters who are kind enough to share their expertise.

    Sorry, it was a very badly worded. All I meant was don't attach anything to them having an address and a tweeter account, it means nothing.

    Having looked at the site closer, my opinion is they will tell to to join clickbank, via the link they supply so they earn a percentage of anything you earn. Then give you a list of free advertising directories where you can advertise the clickbank products.
