Did You Receive An Email That Sounds Too Good To Be True?
I did - and guess what - it is (surprise / surprise!!)
I received an email today from (XX company - I will not name them because I don't want to promote them)
First, never click links in an email unless you know who is sending the email. Even if you know the person, if the link(s) does not look right DO NOT click on it. If you want to check it out copy it and paste it in the browser address line - best way is right back to them .com ending without the extension.
The email said:

You bet I was excited to see "up to $4,800 a month" - me - who knows that when it comes to the internet that if something sounds too good to be true it is
Anyways, I decided to do some research and this is what I found:
This 'person', who created this, has actually created a "tier affiliate program" and they, or one of their affiliates, has contacted you to recruit you into this 'scam' of an affiliate program. Bottom line this is spam and they want you to join and be a spammer as well. Don't fall for it. Just delete or report it.
Always remember, IF something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
