Just visited the website cash1234.com after seeing their ad promising I could make $4000 per week with their program. Wouldn’t you love to make $4000 per week? I know I would, but I would sooner go out and buy $9.00 worth of scratch off lottery tickets than buy what they’re selling on cash1234.com. And from what I’ve been reading, the cash1234 system involves games of chance anyway, so you have just as much chance as winning the lottery of making any money from the cash1234 program.
As a general rule I don’t try money-making programs and systems. It’s possible some might be legitimate but I classify them all as scams. Whenever someone creates a program that’s supposedly designed to reveal to you how to make tons of money, you can be sure their sole motivation is for them to make tons of money selling thousands of copies of their program to desperate people like you. Many of these people actually deliver a complete system as promised. They’ll tell you somewhere in their text that the system might not work for you but they’ll do it in such a way you won’t really get the message. However, should you try to sue them later they will quickly point to the sentence that reads “almost” everyone who tries the system makes money with it, or some similar statement that covers them in case someone should try to scream scam and threaten lawsuit.
It’s amazing how many programs are out there and more amazing how many of these programs have made money for the people selling them. There are so many of us out there, people looking for ways to make money online or make money working from home, not necessarily exclusively through use of a computer.
I’ve worked for myself since 1998 operating a home-based web and software development business. Many times people come to me asking how they can do what I do, which is, make a living with just a computer. The truth is until recently I was earning a living building websites for clients, managing websites and writing and selling software to power websites, so I wasn’t out there trying money-making programs and wading through work-at-home scams.
The only time I can remember wasting money on a useless work at home program was before I started developing websites and writing and selling software. I tried the Specialty Merchandise Corporation program. That was a definite waste of $300, although I’m sure it works for some people. These days I’m in transition with my business. With sites like scriptlance.com around most web and software development jobs that aren’t going to huge companies are going to off shore developers who can afford to accept less than a days pay for the equivalent of weeks of work. As such I haven’t done any web development work for clients in some time, and I no longer develop software programs except for what I need to serve my own purposes.
I’ve been building and selling websites and had some luck with that for a little while, but for a few months now I haven’t had any income coming in outside of the occasional money from adsense and text link ads, so I’ve had some desperate days when I’ve gone looking for other ways to make money online, and the load of crap I’ve found out there has been unbelievable. I’m not sure though what surprises me more, that there are so many unscrupulous people out there or that there are so many people out there who are so desperate to make money they’re willing to take risks on almost anything.
If you happen to stumble across the website cash1234.com and you’re wondering if it’s legitimate, I haven’t tried it so I can’t tell you factually that it would be a waste of your time and your money to try it; but I will suggest that when they start promising you can make $4000 per week with just 1 - 2 hours doing practically nothing, you ask yourself what in the world kind of program can they possibly be operating whereby you’re getting $4000 per week for nothing. Usually it will not be anything you want to get into.
Here’s what one user of the cash1234 program says about it:
My advice? Keep your $9 bucks. Take one and go play the lottery. Here are my winning pick 6 #’s for today (7, 12, 27, 28, 39, 42). If you play them and win, send me a few bucks.
