those stupid paid email thing

elty · July 15th, 2003, 05:34

How could I convince my sister to quit those time wasting programs? I mean those programs claims u get money for reading their email, but in order to get paid u have to pay them first to buy "premimum" membership

althought my sis is not spending any REAL money, I think she is wasting time as obviously this kind of program is a kind of MLM, and unless you are top of the prymaid u will be just working for others.

I try many reasons but she seems not to listen. Instead she yell and cry at me.....

I say let her get screwed over. It may be the only way she will learn.

Stupid spam mails indeed, but I got plenty of links showing that what seems too good to be true really is.

Hope this can help you. But you must know that some people can't be convinced by rational arguments.

(BTW, I will do it IF the experience will help me alot, but are you gonna write down I partipate a lot of paid program stuff on net in your resume? guess not!)

well let get a karma for doing that... but that's the negative one...

try to talk to her again and again that it's just a waste of time and money... tell her the cons of it that it won't do anything to make her rich...
