The main and only income item that the owners of the Money-tree project promised to users of the World Wide Web is the purchase and sale of Internet traffic. Feedback from freelancers suggests that they were promised income of 3,000 rubles a day on Money-tree.info, which, according to many, is already proof of the dishonest intentions of the project organizers.
However, the comments found on the thematic sites do not contain an answer to the main question: can someone boast that even if not immediately, but still earned some amount.
Curiosity as a lever
Some users of the World Wide Web were encouraged to register on the project under discussion by ordinary curiosity. These people admitted that it was difficult for them to pass by the tempting offer to evaluate their traffic and find out its approximate cost.
After the system “processed” the data of the new person involved, a dialog box appeared with its “results” - the number of potential buyers willing to get traffic (usually a six-digit figure) and possible earnings (several tens of thousands of rubles).
Details of the “collaboration”
As soon as the potential victim clicked on the “Sell traffic” button, she was shown a new message confirming that the sale procedure was in full swing. In the meantime, the entrepreneur, on whose account will soon be a pretty decent amount, has to pay a fee - just 75 rubles. Moreover, he must go to the site before the earnings are transferred to the bank account of the freelancer.
Why none of the deceived users set out to find out the payment details and the physical address of the recipient of the “commission” is not clear. Judging by individual reviews, the Money-tree sometimes “stalled” and the money of the potential victim “hung in the air” for some time. And then some users came up with the idea of ​​something like this: “Could I pass the time for reading additional literature regarding the proposed type of earnings?” For some of these few minutes, the wait was enough to withdraw the payment, realizing in time that on that end - ordinary scammers. But such cases are few.
After the gullible entrepreneur transferred the required amount to the project, he was notified that the proceeds from the sale of traffic had already arrived at the seller’s internal account and were awaiting activation, which also cost money.
As a result, the user who paid one and a half dozen bills, the amount of each of which exceeded the previous one by one and a half times, was left with nothing. The fact of fraud is reflected in the posts of users who believed the promises of Money-tree. The reviews of these people are published on thematic content and are freely available.
According to the calculations of a group of independent experts, the Money-tree service is a multi-stage scam, invented by pretty brainy people. From the reviews published on the Internet, it is clear that the developer of the "method" of taking money during the first few days of the project's enrichment was enriched by at least five and a half million rubles.
What is traffic and where to get it
The definition of "Internet traffic" means a certain number of targeted visitors who visited the site during the day. Target visitors are people for whom the information, services or products posted on the site are of interest.
The target audience of the site must meet several criteria: live in a particular area, relate to representatives of a certain age and gender, represent a specific social stratum, and so on.
Today, in the vastness of the World Wide Web, there are many platforms involved in arbitration, buying and selling targeted traffic.
The opinion of the Internet community about the Money-tree project. Reviews of users who have registered on the site
Users who risked registering on money-tree.info site referred to the project under discussion as a financial trap for inexperienced simpletons, which allowed more experienced users to make themselves believe in the possibility of earning from reselling traffic.
Among the features that deserve special attention, one should highlight the affiliate program of the Money-tree project. Feedback from users who connect to it, captivating frankness. Participants of the “affiliate program” acknowledge that the description of the actions that each user of the project should perform resembles an information mess, however, everything falls into place after the entrepreneur starts working, that is, starts buying and selling traffic.
According to information published on one of the accomplice’s contents, the online entrepreneur’s daily income can reach 19,000 rubles.
Observing users call the site just another “clone”, like two drops of water similar to similar projects. Moreover, according to attentive users, one fraudulent project from another can only be distinguished by domain addresses, since their interfaces are exactly the same.
The many faces of “service”
The project under discussion, judging by the reviews of vigilant Web users, appeared much earlier than the domain address money-tree.info. Here is an incomplete list of several previous domains of the site: http://moneypride.ru, http://moneybrills.ru, http://click.money-tree.info. Feedback from users who did not want to disclose their real names indicates that the owners of all of the above domain names were the same people.
The creators of the service, no matter what address it is located, suggested that users first buy traffic for a nominal amount, and then sell it for fabulous money.
Without exception, all the participants in the discussions (it doesn’t matter whether the site is moneybrills.ru or click.money-tree.info), the reviews of which are found on the Internet, do not spare offensive words, commenting on their experience on the project.
It may seem strange to someone that a fraudulent project, which attracted more than two hundred thousand people, spared money for a laudatory advertisement. The lack of enthusiastic comments can be explained by the fact that at the moment all the money-tree domain addresses are removed from the search results, and with them the advertising content of the partners has disappeared.
Note for beginners
Among the traditional features that are difficult to surprise anyone today is the need to pay for the services of the trading platform. Some newcomers to the Internet mistakenly believe that the need to pay a service fee is irrefutable evidence that the project is fraudulent. But it is not so. The truth is that a self-respecting online project will deduct the amount of the commission fee from the entrepreneur’s earnings, and a fraudulent website will require additional financial injections. Judging by the reviews, Money-tree belongs to the second type of virtual sites.
In the world of online business, where everyone wants to get rewarded by performing certain actions (or by providing the opportunity to act for the benefit of someone else), paying a fee has long been commonplace.
What else is known about the "employer site"?
The online project money-tree.info (user reviews describe the project as fraudulent) appeared on the Web on October 18, 2017. The site is currently closed and the domain is for sale.
