Less Than 50 Left

  
When you check your email do you often find a subject line that reads "Less than 50 left" or "Doors will close at midnight tonight."? I get them all the time. Some person trying to talk me into buying something or signing up for another thing. Maybe it is some kind of teleseminar or other phone thing.

Why do they do that? All it does for me is make me instantly delete whatever it is. Anytime there is a deadline on something someone wants me to send money for you might as well forget it and not bother with sending it in the first place.

 

I don't know about you, but I'm not going to be in any hurry when it comes to spending my hard earned dollars. I work too hard for what little I have to be rushed. Don't try to put me on the spot by telling me that I might miss out on the best thing on the Internet if I don't do it now.

If it is the best, or one of the best things on the Internet then wont it still be good tomorrow? Even next week? If it is not going to be good tomorrow or next week then it must not really be that good now.

When I am rushed to comply I feel like someone is not getting the response they were expecting and want to speed up their progress at my expense. Trying to sell me on something that might not even be legal. Something that might be a scam or at the least some worthless document made up by the sender in hopes of grabbing a few quick dollars.

 

If you see something marked with some kind of urgency you should take a little time and think about what it is they are asking you to do. That kind of message is usually just trying to intimidate you into sending money before you have taken the time to really see what you are paying for.

When I first started searching for information about making money online I fell for some of those "get it now" messages and what I got for it was nothing more than an invitation to buy more. More of nothing.

On one occasion I paid $20 for a document that was just an advertisement for another program that cost over $400. I thought it was pretty bad when I have to pay for an ad for something else. Was I stupid? Yes and no.

 
Yes I was stupid for buying in the first place but no, I was not stupid because I learned a valuable lesson. I hope you don't have to learn the same way I did.

There is the old saying, if it sounds too good too be true it probably is. As I told my readers long ago, before you pour out your dollars on something like that sit back and think about it for a while then read it again and see if you still think it makes sense.

The next time you open your email, don't be in a hurry and don't get scammed.

Have a good day and be careful.
