Are websites asking you to post referral links legitimate or scams?
One of our more common questions from our readers are whether these sites that claim you can make hundreds of dollars a day working from home just by posting “referral links” are legitimate?
One example of such a site that we’re often asked about is jamlass.com, a site that claims – amongst other things – that they can “guarantee” you $1500 in your first week with the site.
After registering for an account, you will find that you have 1 task to complete. Post your unique referral link to as many places on the Internet as possible.
Sites like this are essentially opportunistic scam websites that exploit the otherwise legitimate rewards-per-action business model used by websites like Swagbucks that allow you to earn money completing certain tasks on the Internet (more on that below.)
Sites like Jamlass.com exploit that business model and lure those who visit their website into unrealistically believing they can earn a substantial income from the comfort of their homes.
So, let’s provide some hard facts about these types of sites…
–JamLass.com doesn’t tell the truth. The “Total Earned Today” number at the top of the webpage (which purportedly shows the total amount they paid today) changes to a different random number each time you refresh the page. The guarantee you can earn $1500 in your first week is a totally baseless number with nothing to substantiate such a claim.
–You can’t make money spamming links on the Internet. Despite the claim you can make money with various types of tasks, the only task available is posting your “referral link” across the Internet. However, it’s essentially impossible to actually do this. Most forums don’t allow referral links since they are deleted by administrators, and the same applies to posting links into the comments on blogs and chat rooms. The Internet community is well aware of these types of schemes, and posting referral links on the Internet is akin to spamming. The vast majority of these links will all be removed, and likely get you banned from the sites you post them on.
–JamLass.com is part of a network of identical spam websites. A Google search on certain key phrases on the site reveals more – near identical – websites that offer the same type of “opportunity”. Other identical websites run by the same network of scammers include –
– DollarCell.com
– MyDuty.site
– NetDuty.site
– PayToday.online
– Fawly.com
– RewardsEmpire.com
– myduty.online
– paytonight.online
– inviteforcash.com
These points should be sufficient enough to dissuade anyone from registering for these types of websites. The reality is that you simply cannot earn hundreds of dollars a day using “rewards” websites or spamming weblinks across cyberspace. If you could, everyone would do it! It’s just hype to lure Internet users into spamming the Internet.

That isn’t to say that legitimate rewards programs don’t exist. There are plenty of genuine websites that use the rewards per action model that promote a more realistic approach to earning online. These websites partner with third party companies looking for feedback and marketing research, and will pay you to participate in various online tasks.
One such website we’ve been long recommending to our readers is SwagBucks which you may have heard about before. They’re one of the top rewards websites that pay you for online tasks like watching videos, completing surveys and playing games. You won’t be earning hundreds of dollars a day since this claim is just not realistic but if you’re looking for something you can do from home to pay off a few bills or to make a good dent in the Christmas shopping, Swagbucks is a great choice.
You can read our article on here about how to make money online legitimately, and if you’re interested, you can sign up for SwagBucks here – it’s free! (And if you use the code “FreeGiftCards” when you sign up you get a bonus!)
In the meantime, don’t sign up for websites promising you unrealistic profits of hundreds of dollars. They’re scams.
