Beware of Scams while working on Internet

While seeking to earn through Internet, one should cultivate an awareness about the money making programmes and keep the scams at an arm's length rather falling prey to it. I say so out of my experience with internet. I have been seeking some serious money earning programmes through internet and started by switching to GPTR,(Get paid to Read), GPTC (Get paid to click) and survey conducting programmes. I registered myself with many sites offering GPTR and GPTC programme but was disappointed by the amount which was being credited to my account. Since I am operating from a Cyber Cafe, the amount being credited was insufficient to even meet cafe charges what to say of Earning.
Suddenly I came across a site which offered a very huge amount as $2000 for reading and same amount for clicking the ads. The minimum pay out required to get the payment was & 16,00,000/-. I decided to at least complete one payout level. But somewhere in my mind I was feeling that it may not turn out to be only a scam offering Get Quick Rich chance. But I kept on doing the work and came to the pay out level after working hard for one year. But as I was fearing they site showed the payout in their site but till this day I have not received a single dime from the site. Similarly there are number of programmes which offer get quick rich schemes but I do not pay any heed to them and am going to search for some really productive programme.
Now I feel I have come to know some programmes run by Google such as AdSense or AdWords which can make us earn at least some reasonable income. Similarly some Freelance sites also offer Data Entry jobs which I am sure would yield good results. I have started working with some of these programmes the result of which will be seen in near future, some two months or more. There are a lot of Cyber Crimes rampant these days.
I ofter keep receiving lotto winning programmes announcing Million of US dollars as prize money won by me. Every month I receive such winning informations and they appear as genuine but each one if pursued, ends up asking for depositing of a huge amount as fee for preparing legal papers on my behalf. I carefully, did not fall into the trap of any but a Chartered Accountant of Srinagar (Kashmir) was in news for being cheated in the same way. He yielded to the demand of racketeers to deposit Rs. 40,000/- to be able to prepare legal papers for release of a Prize Money of Five Million US Dollars in his favours. He was emailed an account No. in a Local Bank where he deposited that huge amount on demand. After two or three hours he received an email demanding some more money for the purpose stating that the rates for preparing legal papers had gone high. Out of doubt he consulted one of his friend who also was an Internet knowing person who smelled some thing fishy and they came to report Cyber Crime Branch. The Huge amount which he deposited in the bank had been withdrawn by some one within 20 minutes of his depositing.
Every Internet going persons (especially new one) must keep alert about such tempting offers which lead to devastation if yielded to.
