It`s coming up to THAT time of year again. Even more than the usual amount of scammers lurk the Internet and create their own money making machines.
So, how can you recognise those programs which are definitely here only for the short term, with the only aim to make their owners, not members, rich?
Suggest any tips you have to help protect others.
Let`s start with this one, obvious yes, but not to the unwary who see this as a time to `earn` some extra money.
How about a program with the name `Merry Xmas` - www.merryxmas.com (doesn`t exist right now, but...) 
Bit of a giveaway, but no one wants to join a program with a name like that after the New Year, so, how long can it be expected to run? Think about it.

And, how about some of these `monitors` which make good bedfellows with HYIPs? The fact that some monitor site admins repeatedly, frequently, post their `paids` in program threads borders on the ridiculous, and seems a good sign that there`s something in it for them.
By `something in it` such things as the first to be paid out, particularly in a time of difficulty, a free share of the program - say, $10 or $20 worth of...`investment` and so on.
To me, when monitors cheerlead a program it`s a red flag.

Well, I wonder how many got caught out by the holiday scams? If you did, and you want a rant, go ahead and tell us about it here.

I was lucky and the ones that looked like scams actually were.
