    Hey everyone,

    Ive been watching youtube videos on this 5kteam site. Kids making $100,000 in what, half a year? I want to know what you have to say about this. Alright we know this must be a scam. However, how are there multiple people promoting whatever this "product" is and making substantial income. Why would people be showing proof. How would that be possible, I might not know whats going on. But I know these programs they get involved in, they must be really making money, but how? Why would they waste there time, its all set up the same. Anyone know about the 5kteam? look it up on youtube. Or just videos related.

    I am not going to look up their videos on youtube. They could be telling the truth, and they could just be good Samaritans spreading their knowledge. Or they could be scammers, like you said. It's most likely the latter, but who knows.

    On youtube I only care about videos that actually teach you something solid, not promotional videos. You can easily detach the commercial ones with the true informative ones.

    1) I doubt they are making "substantial income"
    2) "Proof" of income is incredibly easy to fake
    3) I'm not going to waste my time watching, but I assume they are trying to sell you a product through an affiliate link

    It's the oldest trick in the book - write a fake review or testimonial with fake proof and hope that the suckers out there will believe it and purchase the program.

    For me, it is because some people believe into scam because theey are so desperate to earn. That's way, scammers earn.

    I've seen somewhere an internet marketer showing people how scammers can fake "proof" of income with just a few click away on paypal, clickbank, etc... Just can't remember where I've seen it but i remember it's on youtube.
