The web is highly uncontrolled. Of course there are some rules that are currently applied, wherever possible, and there were many programmes closed and their owners taken to justice, but only after thousands of people lost their money.
But under the very best of cases, the concerned authorities hold all the money and then the lawyers take over and begin to unravel everything. That could take a long time, possible years, and if you are one of the victims who lost their money, then, do not count on seeing your money ever.
Why? Simply due to the fact that the lawyers are paid from the money that poured into the program. After all, they do not work for nothing and their fees have to be paid somehow. The more money coming in a program when it gets shut down, the more difficult the mess is and the longer it takes to get everything sorted out. The result is predictable, the lawyers get paid and you get nothing.
But it gets even worse because many of the programs on the Internet operate beyond the reach of the authorities. What happens when someone in Belize or Panama or Nigeria gets your money? What chance do you have of getting your money back then? Zero chance.
What I am pointing to here? It is that the Internet is a lot like a major city without a police authority. Think for a while! Any large city without a police authority and what would you expect to happen? The crooks would take over!
In many ways, that is exactly what has happened on the Internet! While you do not have to worry about getting robbed at gunpoint on the Internet, in many ways it is worse. The criminal who points a gun at you steals your money and money can be replaced but what the criminal who tells you that you can get rich by sending him your money steals your money, your time and sometimes your hopes and your dreams.
Can you get back even one day of the weeks and months and years they have taken from you? Of course no. How can you put a price on that? And how can you put a value on all the dreams of millions of people who have given up just because every time they put their trust on someone they got scamed? You can not. All you can do is protect yourself, cut your losses and go ahead.
How can you stop others from cheating you? How can you stop being a failure? The one and only way is to learn their tricks they play on you! You have to know what they do and why it succeeds so well to cheat so many people. Until you do that, you will keep losing more and more money, you will be deeper and deeper into debt, you will waste weeks and months, years of your life, and you will keep seeing your expectations fade from view.
Hence, commence to educate yourself how you can protect yourself! But before you do that, assure yourself that you will put an end to being a loser.
