Penny auction sites: legit or scam?

I stumbled across some websites in my search for ways to make more money and found penny auction sites. Looks like another way to trick people into buying stuff, but then again showing proof is somewhat hard unless you have proof that you won the item. It works by buying bid packs which can be as low as $0.50 per bid, then you go bid on items that you want. Each bid raises the item by $0.01, but if you're lucky you win the item without a problem. Therein lies the problem, you're already buying bid packs and you're also competing against others who're after the same item.

The losers have to fork over their money for using bid packs and the winner pays the auction price plus shipping and handling. Seems to me that sites profit from losing bids easily and get more money than the value the item is worth. Some are incredibly lucky, but most of the time people lose their money due to bidding on an item too much.

Penny auction sites are incredibly popular in Europe and the U.S. seems to catch the fever. Personally I think it is just as addictive as gambling and you have to be incredibly fortunate to win something while the losers have to pay their bids (money) big time. It's hard enough to make money online when penny auction sites are appearing to entice people to buy what they want at a cost.

WarReWARds: An upcoming GPT site

WarReWARds is an interesting site since it follows in the same vein as other GPT sites like Treasure Trooper and Inbox Dollars, but this site came out yesterday. If anyone is asking, yes it does share some similarities to defunct GPT site SWATcash but it is a completely different site. It takes on the military theme and has plenty of ways to make money. The most obvious is the Offers section, which you do daily surveys and numerous offers to choose from. Minimum payout is $15 which is better than some others. Referral bonuses start at 15% and can go as high as 20%. No second level referral bonuses.

The most interesting aspect of WarReWARds is the Combat Map. You have to choose which military branch you're going to be in and appear on a 9x9 map. You're provided with a pistol, 10 bullets, light armor, and shoes. This is where it gets interesting. You have to move around the map and seek out enemies in order to earn WR, which is currency used to upgrade your equipment. This currency is also used to buy referrals or increase your commission rate from referrals (+1%). If you lose against an enemy, your health decreases slowly until you lose it all and can't move the map for 24 hours. Bullets can be earned through Offers and contests sponsors. You have to be active if you want to earn WR, get referrals, and bullets.

Overall, WarReWARds has the potential to become a great GPT site. If it can outlast other GPT sites, then WarReWARds will be a great way to earn some money and have fun in the mean time.

Treasure Trooper referral program

When you become a VIP you will be able to get 10 referrals a month for free. This is where the money starts flowing pretty nicely. If you become an active VIP member on treasure trooper for a while you could earn as much as $500 a month and the best part is once you get enough referrals you don't have to do anything. So my advice to you is to do all the hot offers and as many popular offers as you can. Do all the daily surveys and work your way up to becoming a VIP member when you earn $500. Work hard during the first couple of months then sit back and watch the money flow in from your referrals.

It's getting really hard to make money in a recession. Referrals are the only way to get decent money from [url="http://www.treasuretrooper.com/364640"]Treasure Trooper[/url]. You have to be very active in order to get gains from the site. $500 is incredibly hard to attain, but the rewards are great. If you want to join the site, contact me and I'll send you the link. You also get 20% for every one you referred and 5% for each one they referred.

Treasure Trooper having a referral contest

Treasure Trooper is having a referral contest for those who signed up for them.

We have also structured the prize money in such a way that you are rewarded for the amount of referrals you actually gained, in addition to where you place in the rankings.

Folks, there is over $6000 up for grabs here and we've made it real easy to make some good money with this contest! If you've participated in our referral contests before, you've no doubt noticed that it is VERY easy to be a winner even if you only get 4 or 5 referrals! You can do this!

Got paid again from Treasure Trooper

I've got paid at Treasure Trooper again this month. $45 from January. I get paid once a month (around the 15th) and the deals are getting harder to get by. Even jobless, I can still find ways to make money online. Treasure Trooper is still pretty consistent in paying out their members, but the approval rate for the offers seem to have dwindle slightly.

I might as well be making money online since finding a job is next to impossible here in Georgia and most require experience in a certain area. I'm going to try out other GPT (get-paid-to) sites that are not scams. A little extra money doesn't hurt you unless you're in some scam or scheme. That did happen to me 3 times in the past, but now I know what sites people generally use to get paid.

Still no jobs as usual and professors' say recession is still in effect

After ten months of job searching, I still can't even find a decent job. There is a new Subway that just opened right across from where I live. Oddly enough, the store seems to be hiring only a few people so I went in and applied for it. On other news, my college professors informed students that the recession is still there and that many college students have been looking for work for an entire year. I'm not the only one who is out looking for a job. My age is approaching 30 and I still have such bad luck. On top of that, I don't have the necessary experience to get the job.

This is why I've been trying to sell stuff on eBay, but the amount of income coming in is very miniscule. Don't believe in companies like UPS that say the recession is over. It's complete BS and people are still looking for jobs out there. Being optimistic is incredibly hard with doom and gloom over peoples' faces.
