Digital Money. How they Bait you?
Over the last few months, you might have noticed a few Facebook Advertisements that claim to give an opportunity to work from home. When you click on these ads they take you to a website where you need to fill in your contact information.

They will then proceed to the Interview, during which they will ask you trivial and frivolous questions such as :
How much Time Do you Spend on the Internet? Do you make Payments Online? Do you know how to build a website? Have you worked online before? Do you have a Debit Card?
After conducting the interview for 5 minutes, they will announce that you are now eligible to become a part of the program and must pay an amount ranging from Rs 3500 to Rs 4400 to get a kit, which will be delivered at your home. The Digital Money India kit will consist of some CDs with videos and tutorials along with some printed material on how to build a website and earn money online through advertisements. The Two Websites through which the company is currently operating are: http://www.digitalmoneyindia.com/ http://www.digitalcashcourse.com/
So Are these websites a genuine opportunity to make money online or is it a scam?
The answer is simple – It is a scam! Do not pay money for such schemes! All the information they provide in the CD’s and Books is available online for free. I happened to take a look at some of the material and realized that most of the information is outdated and not relevant. Some of the material has been copy-pasted directly from some websites!
Digital Cash Course Review
The questions asked in the Interview are aimed at gauging your awareness of the Internet, if they realize you know a lot about the Internet then they immediately hang up. But if you are a novice, then they try to defraud you with their fake training program about building websites.
Digital India Scam
They have borrowed the name of a scheme that was re-launched some months ago by the Government of India to connect all the villages and small towns to the Internet via a fiber network. The scheme called Digital India is expected to be completed over the next 2 years. To confuse users they are using the Digital India brand name. The first rule of working on the Internet is
- Never Pay Money to Work Online – Any scheme or training program that charges you money before it gives you work or teaches you to work is a scam. When everything is available on the Internet for free why do you want to pay your hard-earned money to these fraudsters?
- There is no Easy Money Online – You have to work hard to make money online, when I started working online I just made Rs 3000 in the first month. Have patience and do not fall for such scams. It took me several years to reach a 5 figure online income.
