Wow. You hit pay dirt today by coming here to read this article. I am going to give you the inside secret to Inbox dollars so that you save yourself time, trouble, money and your privacy. Read this article to find out all about Inbox Dollars (CLUE: I do not recommend this website called Inbox Dollars

Things You’ll Need:

• This article
• Trust (Believe what you read here)
  Ahh, You just saved hundreds of hours, money, time, trouble and you saved your privacy also.
• Information about Inbox Dollars

Instructions

Step1

I found out about Inbox Dollars through some other article that lead me to a site to make money just by reading emails. So, I subscribed, signed up to Inbox Dollars thinking that some of it or most of it would be true. Here are steps that you take at Inbox Dollars if you THINK That you can make money by using programs like that. Here is what you do. You sign up for Inbox Dollars. So, what happens next? You confirm your email. (If you must join, I suggest making an email box just for Inbox Dollars and do not use any of your actual real email accounts for the program. Why? Your inbox will be flooded and over-flooded with emails. You will receive an unbelievable, totally unbelievable amount of emails from this company and from all their affiliates. And the best part--you probably will be interested in hardly any of the affiliates sites. So, now you are signed up. (Smiles --do not sign with them). And you are confirmed--your email box.
Step2

Out of the hundreds and hundreds of offers and emails that they and affiliates will send to you--you might be interested in one or two. And at the time you see those one or two, you think, "Wow, now I am saving money on this". However, do not be fooled. They will put you on every single list going. And you probably will receive regular mail in your regular mail box also--besides the email box mail. Here is the part that you will love (smiles). They ask that you put your phone number in each and almost every offer or form that you fill out. They will call you. If you are smart, you have an old telephone number that is disconnected, and you can use that phone. If there is a place in the form to say, "Do not call", then do it. But so far, none of the forms allow you to fill them out without phone numbers. Oh, how can you use a disconnected phone for a form? Here is how. The form says that it asks for your phone number. And your phone number IS your phone number --even if it is disconnected. So, you can use your disconnected phone number. As long as it is disconnected the phone number does not belong to anyone else. So, it is still yours. Picture those high pressure sales people calling that disconnected number? Now, you are signed up, enrolled and you are on their thousands of thousands of sales and promotions' lists. Here is what you might be doing if you agree to go along with their sales ploys. They will tell you to put in your phone numbers, your age, your home address, your work phone. And they will keep sending you tons of offers. Now, their original claim that you will earn dollars if you JUST READ EMAIL? Well, it really is an almost false claim. I read tons and tons of emails and according to them. I got paid about five dollars in "email box " for my reading of the emails. Yet, they do not show you or tell you how to claim your five dollars. Does your money exist? Yes, it is in their pocket. And most likely that is where it will stay. Yes, you can "earn" money by reading emails, however, they want you to do more than just read emails. The emails that they send to you almost all of them , are sales emails where they ask you to fill in all sorts of personal information. And almost all of them 99 percent of them ask you to take part in sales offers. In other words, you "read" but they are asking you to spend money. In order for you to take part in their offers, to get money by reading emails, you have to buy

Step3

Here is how they get away with their plan. They will "add" that first five dollars to your inbox--that is what you get paid for reading emails. And you probably will never physically see the five dollars. The five dollars is just an email saying,"You have earned five dollars". Do you see your five dollars? Let me know, I am still looking for my five dollars or for a way to actually get hold of it. (Just kidding. I stopped looking)! I purposely enrolled in Inbox Dollars to see what it was like so that I could write an article about it. Why? I have seen so many people recommend sites that offer you money for "just reading emails". I knew that sounds too good to be true. And that, my first thought is so correct. It is too good to be true. RESULTS: You might get one offer that saves a little money for you, HOWEVER, and that is a huge, bolded, red-flag, however, your time, your inbox and the results of joining that company to "make money for just reading email", will not be enough to be worth any one good offer. Trust me on this one. The offers are never free and they are expensive. Just as a last try, I clicked on an offer that was given recently. "Get 12 free cans of Pepsi". Wow, sounds like a great offer, yes? Think again. Yes, I clicked on it because I like Pepsi, and because 12 free cans is a good deal if you can get them for free. Now, for you, and for your information, I clicked on that, full knowing it probably was not a good offer. But I did it anyways. What's the catch? Read the fine print in the offer--after you do all their "procedures". Here is the scoop on the free Pepsi. You need to "complete" about two or three offers before they send your free Pepsi "Right to your front door". (Love their description? They let you picture your 12 free cans coming right to your front door). And they do this for this reason, they want and need you to put your real home address into the form , after all, because that is where your free Pepsi comes, correct? The catch? The pre-offers that they need you to complete are expensive offers. In other words, you need to SPEND lots of money just to qualify for your free Pepsi. In other words your free Pepsi is not free at all. The second catch? You will smile at this one. The fine print, remember the fine print? Well, their fine print about this Pepsi offer states that you will pay for the shipping and handling of the free Pepsi. Hmmm, interesting offer.

Step4

Can you imagine the cost of "shipping and handling" on 12 heavy cans of Pepsi? Imagine this. They will ship it any way that they want to ship it, so you have no control over what the price is. So, there you go. First you fill out 2 or 3 expensive offers just to qualify for their free Pepsi. And all along you are adding your personal information to these offers --which means you are negating your "opt out " privacy option. In their contracts/fine print, they actually say that you are signing away your privacy --you allow them to use your information and sell it or give it out etc. DO read the fine print of everything. Now, how did I do on the free Pepsi offer? Well, purposely decided not to go through with it when I saw all the red-tape, red-flags and when I saw that you PAY for your own shipping and handling of the Pepsi. Any postal worker know what that could cost? And I never did complete any of the two or three other offers that were necessary to get the free Pepsi. Remember, I enrolled just to share this information with you. I reversed it on the company. Where they thought they could "buy" my personal information, I enrolled knowing that I was doing it to share their personal information with the public --here on eHow.com. So, my goal--to get the fine print, and share the fine print--worked. Now you have the scoop on "Inbox Dollars", and I am guessing that mostly all of the rest of those "Make money by reading your email" offers are the same or extremely similar to this one. Of course, you might have a few people that swear by the program. But those can only be people who are willing to sit at their email box all day and all night filling out forms --to benefit from one single offer that they might accidentally come across. My vote? Bypass any offers that tell you that you will make money by just reading email. What's the old rule? If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true! I, personally, wrote this article and state that everything I wrote above is so very true. You can take the advice or leave it or you can try it out for yourself. But do open a special email box JUST for that purpose if you must join. Have I seen any actual cash from Inbox dollars or affiliates? No. I have not earned any real actual cash. And that five dollars, that initial five dollars that they 'give' you to make you think that the offer is real, well, that is "words" . I have an email that states I have earned 5.

Step5

Here is more of how you are scammed (or not told what is happening): For example, before "reading" any emails, this company has you fill out extensive "surveys" under the guise that this will help you make more money. However, all this does is make you receive more and more and more emails. And the emails are not as honest as they should be. I filled out their survey, and checked off that I liked cheesecake. Innocent enough, correct? So here goes four days later, and I receive a big bold email stating that I have been chosen to receive $1000. Walmart Card for free! Sounds like a good offer correct? And it really looks like the email is from Walmart. (They copy good). Now, the small print --if anyone can see it that small or can read it, says that this company is not affiliated with Walmart at all. And it goes on to say that my email and my name was entered to that company because my name was given to the "such and such Cheesecake company". So, they put me on a list --the cheesecake list. Therefore any and all cheesecake advertisers would and will send me emails --unwanted emails. I said I like cheesecake --not ten-page long surveys or advertisements geared to make me purchase from a particular company. So, lesson learned...when you use that checklist and you check off all those things that you "like", you, most likely, will receive gimic ads and come-on ads, and surveys that are endless --from the products that you check off. According to their email to me, my name was sent to the cheesecake company by the list "owner". In other words, they have put my name on a list. Now, this goes to show you how good "lists' are, because I never sell or offer my phone number to anyone in exchange for gifts or promises. So ALL the lists that have my name on them have a "disconnected phone number". Can you imagine how many salespeople are going to be dialing that number and hearing Ma Bell's recording, "This number is temporarily disconnected and there is no further information available"? Now, for the post office box (they put that on all their lists also), I will take their junk mail (and it is junk mail), and take all their post-paid envelopes and in them, I will send back my own advertisements. Moral of this: Never "buy" a list, because most likely there are thousands of people on those lists that did not ask to be on the list and will not respond positively to any of your offers.

How to ~ ~ ~ Stop Scammers, Spammers and False Advertisers ~ ~ ~

Have you been scammed by a company? Did you sign up with a company only to lose money, lose time and lose valuable jewelry or other possessions? Are you wondering what to do? Are you leary about claims that you see on the internet? Read this article and learn how to protect yourself and learn how to report and protect others also. At the bottom of my article, I post the weblinks of many BBB and many Attorney Generals and many Consumer Affairs Agencies throughout the United States of America. Please use these links if you were scammed or if you have done business with a dishonest company.

Things You’ll Need:

• Awesome Resource list at the bottom of this article.
• Better Business Bureau
• Consumer Affairs
• READ the TOS of all companies before signing up with them.
• Re-Read the TOS.
• If you have no time to read the TOS then do not join the company and do not do business with them.

Instructions

Step1

The best and first way to stop false claims, false advertising, scammers and spammers is to let the world know the truth. The best way to let the world know the truth about these companies and individuals is to write an article here about it. Write another article at the site of ezinearticles.com and write more articles about the scams and false advertisers in your own blogs and journals.

Step2

Name the companies that you are writing about. Give their full names, and repeat their names in the articles. Pray that eHow.com allows the articles to be printed --if eHow is interested in honesty, they will permit it. To make sure that your article qualifies to be published you need to be sure to write the "THREE STEPS" to avoid scams, spammers and false advertising. Do not make the article a personal attack on the company but instead, write all the facts that happened, and then write the three steps that anyone else can take to avoid those scammers. For example, in this article that I write right here, my first step to avoid the scammers and false advertisers is to 1. Tell everyone you know about the company. Tell the whole world via articles and blog posts. Tell your friends, relatives and co-workers. Scammers can only continue to exist if their frauds are secret. By telling the world, you are breaking the secret code and you help to stop scammers.

Step 2. The way that you tell them is to consistently blog and write articles about the scams, naming the scammers, and specifically stating how you should blog or write about them. In this and other cases, blog and write clearly. Blog and write without anger or personal vendetta, but blog about exactly what happened. Write about what you expected to happen (their claim of what they were offering), in this case, Inbox Dollars claimed that I would be getting paid for just "reading emails". In this case, the claim is false as I have never been paid any money at all, but rather received only one email stating that I "earned" five dollars. There was no offer to send the five dollars to me, nor was there any instructions or ways that I could ever collect the five dollars. AND, even if there ever was, I would have to read thousands of emails and buy hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise, products or services before I ever see a penny of the money.

Step3

Step three is easy and it is hard. The way that you can stop these scammers is to read, and read thoroughly. Instead of just signing or clicking on everything that they send you, be sure to read their TOS --which is Terms of Service --before subscribing or joining anything or everything. Here is what you see when you read scammers TOS, usually you will see that they give themselves EVERYTHING and give their customers nothing or very close to nothing. Other things you will see in TOS is that you might have to pay shipping and handling for any free products. Now, this shipping and handling can come to lots of money, in some cases, it comes to more money than the actual product is worth. Then you will see that usually the companies are not responsible for lost products and if they are, they are responsible only up to a small limit. For example, one such company called "Gold Cyclers", offers to pay you good money for your gold and jewelry. They tell you to send it all to them and they will pay you. What does the fine print say? (AND most customers never read the fine print because the TOS is usually so long and rediculously packed with facts and terms that it would take an hour to really read through it and understand the terms and agreements). The fine print says if there is ever any problem, that all customers agree to let the California courts have the final say and jurisdiction. In other words, if you deal with Gold Cyclers on the net and you live in New Jersey or in Maryland, if there is any disagreement between you and them, you have to go to the California courts to settle it. The other fine print says that they are responsible for only up to one hundred dollars for what you ship to them, if the product is lost. MOST times, people who are going to be shipping gold and jewelry are usually shipping values worth well more than one hundred dollars. Suppose you ship them your heavy gold bracelet that is worth $3,000., and you sit there expecting to be paid at least something of its' weight. Will you be happy with this service? Suppose the bracelet is lost in the mail? Then the Post office is responsible, but if you claim that Gold Cyclers lost it or if they are responsible, Gold Cyclers has to pay you ONLY $100. and that is only after the matter is settled in a California court...if that is applicable. So, read all the TOS. Here is a way to save yourself money and time, another part of step three is this:

Step4

If you are applying to a company online or in person, and if you intend to do business with such a company, do not sign, do not apply UNLESS or UNTIL, you have read each and every word of the TOS -the Terms of Service. You would not hire a lawyer without reading his contract, so do not hire any company at all without reading their contract, their TOS, their terms of service. Remind yourself as you read through companies' high pitched, hard sell, "hard to believe" advertising that most times, yes, most times, the advertising is grossly exaggerated and there probably are lots of false claims included in that advertising. And if there are no false claims, there are probably lots of "exagerated" facts. And once a fact is exaggerated, it basically turns out to be a false claim if you think about it. Get paid for just reading emails? Not in this planet.

How to "Who Is" (whois) a Website, Domain Name or URL

Curious to know who's behind a particular website? When it was registered? How to contact the owner. A whois search is your best bet. Here's how to find out "Who Is".

Instructions

Step1.***About Whois***

All domain names (the main part of a site's url, such as ehow.com) are registered with domain name registries. The registration records are public (up to a point), and can be viewed with a simple search.Because there are different domains (.com, .net, .org, .gov, .edu as well as country-specific domains like .uk and .ru), there can be a number of different places to search for domain name records, or as they are more commonly known, whois records.

Step2.***First Stop for Whois***

I like DomainTools as my main whois search site. They are free to use, and have a very large whois database covering almost all major domain extensions. In addition, they combine the whois record with other information, like Alexa ranking of a website, image of the site, historical information, etc. Visit them at domaintools.com to conduct a whois search of any site you're interested in.

Step3.***Extended Whois Search***

DomainTools, as good as it is, sometimes doesn't show up complete whois registration records, especially for less familiar domain extensions. To check for additional whois detail, do a Google search for whois and the domain extension. For instance, a Google search on [ whois gov ] will take you to dotgov.gov, the US government's hosting and registration service, where you can find the most detailed whois records on government sites. Similarly, a Google search on [ whois ru ] leads to www.nic.ru/whois, where you can find detailed whois records on Russian websites. For more background information on whois registration information, see Resources, directly below.
