I recently got an email which advised that you can earn money by clicking emails and banners .... I looked on the site and it says that you will earn money every time you click on an email and view it for a certain amount of time.


I have looked at the terms and conditions and it looks as though there is no catch but surely there must be. When I have looked further I have found loads of sites that do this and you dont have to pay to join.


It all seems too easy and there must be something funny about it because you can earn like 5.00 just for viewing an email for 60 secs.


Does anyone know what the catch is or has anyone joined up and actually got any money?


THanks

I'm no expert (far from it) on this, but I have signed up for certain sites (ciao for example) where they seek your opinion and pay you something like �1 for a 20 minute survey - personally I tend to find after completing 90% of the survey , you dont fit their profile and the site closes - I may be cynical but I doubt you get paid merely for looking at e-mails - you may also possibly get some form of system hijack at the same time, so personally I'd recommend extreme caution - others may have had better experiences? - I would however give them a wide berth.

Good luck though if you go for it.,
If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

if u want a good site for receiving emails etc then may i sugest iPoints, whixh is found if u google.

They dont pay money but they do offer points that are exchangable for vouchers or gifts and at one time u could get 2 points a day for clicking on an advert banner each day, once u got to 35 points u could exchange them for a �5 marks and spencer voucher. I managed to do this 4 times in 2 months before they changed the offers. Go and have a look as i know it does pay out.
