Money At Home Today

I've done a few searches on the board and haven't managed to find anything about this site specifically.

An advert for them just popped up on my Facebook so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them, or knows if it's a blatant scam or not? I'm assuming it is based on the $1.95 activation fee.

Anyone?

    Yes, it's a blatant scam!

    But not blatant enough apparently!

    Don't give money to people who promise you work on the internet, they will just take your money and tell you to make money the same way as them.

    I assumed so, but my God, at $1.95 you'd have to scam a lot of people to make it worth while...?

    It's all hype so avoid like the plague! Also yes, at $1.95 you'd have to have a lot of members but you have to remember those people will also be emailed a couple of times a week with big upsells which adds up to a decent payday for the person running it.

    It's easier to get $1 out of 1000 people than it is to get $1,000 out of one person.

    Once the web site is set up it will run itself so not much work involved.
