Here are some golden rules you need to take into consideration before taking part in such online schemes.
Did you recently come across one of the get rich online courses or work at home job opportunities? The people behind the course are offering you the chance to make thousands of dollars in a month provided you are willing to join their online teaching program. Do you consider such opportunities to be effective or do you think they are just another version of online scams, looking to take advantage of people?
Here are some golden rules you need to take into consideration before taking part in such online schemes.
- First off, never believe any company that advertises itself as a ‘guaranteed get rich’ scheme on the World Wide Web. If there was a way that offered users a hundred percent chance at success, then everybody would be trying their luck with work from home or get rich quick kind of jobs. So if you see an ad advertised with the above words, you need to approach it with the mind-set of dealing with a possible online scam.
- One of the most notorious aspects of an online get rich scam is that they coax customers to act on an impulse. They make all sorts of outlandish claims to trigger the greed in you and within no time, you have not only registered with the program but also made your first deposit. By the time you realize the online scams, it would have already been very late. To prevent this from happening to you, make sure that you take some time to get legal opinion to check and see if the deal on offer is legitimate or just another one of those online scam.
- When you find a program or a scheme that manages to capture your interest, you have to check and see the credentials of the company. You need to ascertain that the company is genuine and is not one of the bogus web based companies looking to make money at the customers expense.
- Sometimes, online scams might be even more complex than you think or could be extremely subtle. For instance, you might come across an online course where they make promises to provide you with a way to make thousands of dollars in a month. However, you must pay for the course and also furnish payments to buy study materials. Now this could be online scams on two levels. Firstly, the course might be bogus and you will get nothing or next to nothing even if you sign up. Next, the site also might include an online payment option you are unaware of or not comfortable with. The link could direct you to an online payment site with poor encryption making you vulnerable to fraud if you send money. This way, you could end up becoming the victim of online scams in two different ways through a single get rich scheme.
- Every site that offer some kind of a course or service would be flooded with testimonials which includes even photos of the customers. Earlier, this used to be a great way to impress users who were first time visitors to the site. Nowadays, every sites regardless of whether they are an online scam or not, pepper their site with numerous testimonials. And there is no way to determine which ones are genuine. That means you are better off not believing in any of them.
- Now, every once in a while, you are going to come across get rich online scams which you will know right away is not the real deal. In such cases, it is highly recommended that you report the matter to relevant law enforcement agencies. Many users fail to see that by not reporting online scams, you put yourself in possible danger in the future. For instance, today you came across the get rich online scams and immediately figured it out for what it was but in the end the same scammer might develop more sophisticated methods which may make detection a little bit harder in the future. You might not be so lucky then. So in hindsight, by reporting the scam, you not only protect others but also yourself.
- If you have trouble deciding for yourself, it might be wise to take the help the advise of someone who can provide competent guidance in the issue. This is especially important if whatever you planning on trying involves commitment, time and money.
- One of the main things to consider while dealing with such scams is to acknowledge that scammers will go to any lengths to try and convince people about any kind of online scams they may be propagating. They will constantly look to manipulate you and will use every trick in the book to establish trust. They have a good understanding of how the human mind generally works. Firstly, they will capture your attention by making a big claim about the course. Then once they have your attention, they will proceed to explain about the course without saying nothing much about it all. They would talk about stuff like how the course helped Mr X to earn $$$ in just a few weeks’ time and how it can help you in the same way as well. Never believe these claims without doing some basic research on the course.
- Before joining, do an extensive Google search on the topic or the course to see whether other people have tried it before. If it is an online scam, there is a very good chance others might have reported about it. This way, you will know ahead of time that the whole thing was one big cooked up scam and that you need to stay away from it.
By following these simple guidelines you can easily avoid any sort of online scams no matter however well disguised they may be. These tips will always point you in the right direction and force you to ask the right question while trying to determine if a certain scheme is genuine or not.

Troy Warren’s “National Independent Restaurant Alliance” — Another Layer in the RATE$BATES Pyramid?
Troy Warren’s “NIRA - National Partnership” — Another Layer in the RATE$BATES Pyramid? October 2025 brought a new announcement from Troy Warren’s Local City Places, promoted through a paid press release service (EINPresswire) and syndicated to local media pages like WANE.com. The release introduced the so-called National Independent Restaurant Alliance (NIRA), described as a nationwide advocacy organization for independent restaurants. But closer inspection suggests NIRA may exist only on paper — created and controlled by the same marketing operation behind RATE$BATES and $CASH$BATES. In the announcement, Local City Places positioned itself as “the grassroots local network” powering NIRA’s city-level presence. The release used phrases like “national advocacy,” “economic leverage,” and “organizational support” — all designed to give the impression of a large, structured alliance. Yet there is no independent website, registration, or public leadership record confirming NIRA as a legitimate […]
Troy Warren Free Merchant Website Program Explained – Do Not Give Upfront Fees
Be Careful- Why Troy Warren’s “Free Websites” Pitch Deserves a Closer Look - Do not give Upfront Fees Upfront-fees in exchange for the Troy Warren Free Merchant Website program is being promoted as a breakthrough opportunity for small-business owners and sponsors alike. It promises free websites, ongoing commissions, and “six-figure potential.” But when you strip away the nostalgia and urgency, the mechanics look far more like a multi-level marketing structure than a true small-business solution. 1. The Setup: Nostalgia as credibility bait The email opens with a long memory-lane story about an early 1990s/1998 project to establish authority. That story is used to imply the sender has repeatable “magic” — a common tactic to transfer trust from past success to a new offer. Historical anecdotes can be real, but they’re also easy to use as credibility theater. 2. The […]

Eats Fleet comes with the same wave of press release hype
The Rise (and Reinvention) of “Eats Fleet” If you follow local food delivery experiments in the Valley, you may have noticed a curious trend: the cycle of flashy new platforms that appear out of nowhere, make bold promises, and then quietly fade away. First, there was Local City Places, a concept that claimed it would revolutionize the way communities connected with small businesses. That platform never took off. Then came Local City Eats, a supposed hub for restaurant promotions and discounts. Despite the enthusiasm in its marketing, it too has struggled to gain meaningful traction. Now, there’s a new name on the horizon: Eats Fleet. According to press releases, Eats Fleet aims to be a “game changer” for both restaurants and delivery drivers in Phoenix. The pitch is familiar: a system that helps local eateries reach customers while providing drivers […]
CityPressMedia, and the Illusion of Branded Debit Cards.
INVESTIGATIVE REPORT: $CASH$BATES$, CityPressMedia, and the Illusion of Branded Debit Cards Executive Summary The $CASH$BATES$ program, operated by CityPressMedia, Inc. and fronted by entrepreneur Troy Warren, originally promised users payouts via a branded debit card. The company has now pivoted to promoting an unregulated "eWallet" platform that allegedly supports ACH transfers, virtual debit cards compatible with Apple/Google Pay, push-to-card payouts, and even cryptocurrency. This report explores both the original and new payout models, uncovers the regulatory requirements they likely do not meet, and outlines the legal risks to both the operators and participants. 1. The Original Plan: Branded LOCAL City Places Debit Cards In promotional materials and emails, Troy Warren initially claimed that commissions and cashback earnings would be loaded onto a "branded LOCAL City Places Partner Debit Card." This card, he said, would be reloadable and offered by the […]
The Truth Behind Branded Debit Cards: What Consumers Need to Know
The Truth Behind Branded Debit Cards: What Consumers Need to Know In recent years, many online programs and “rewards” platforms have started offering what they call branded debit cards to participants. Whether they claim you’ll receive cashback, commissions, or monthly bonuses loaded onto a Visa or Mastercard, the appeal is obvious: free money, conveniently delivered. But here’s the reality — issuing branded debit cards is tightly regulated, and not just any business can hand them out. In fact, many of these claims are either misleading or entirely false. To understand the truth, it’s important to know how branded cards actually work. Companies cannot simply print their logo on a Visa or Mastercard and start distributing them. Only banks that are licensed Visa or Mastercard issuers can offer these cards — and only after passing stringent vetting by the payment networks […]

CashBates – Real Rewards or Real Red Flags
CashBates: Real Rewards or Real Red Flags? A new initiative called CashBates, launched by the site LocalCityPlaces.com, promises consumers "real cash rewards for shopping local" with no strings attached. According to press releases, users simply take a photo of a local store receipt, upload it through the site, and — once verified — receive 10% cash back. No points, no store credit, and no product restrictions. The program’s pitch is clear: support your local economy and earn real money while doing it. Even more enticing is the referral opportunity. CashBates users can recruit friends, family members, or even local business owners and earn additional rewards — not just from their direct referrals, but also from those referred by their referrals. With a two-tier commission structure, this turns ordinary shoppers into local economy ambassadors — or so the pitch goes. But […]
The Fine Line Between Outreach and Overreach in Affiliate and MLM Marketing
When Opt-In Isn’t Enough: The Fine Line Between Outreach and Overreach in Affiliate and MLM Marketing Is Local City Places pushing the boundaries? In the world of digital marketing, permission is powerful. Opt-in lists — those built from individuals who have willingly shared their contact information — form the backbone of ethical outreach campaigns. However, just because someone agrees to receive messages doesn’t give marketers free rein to inundate them with constant pitches or exaggerated promises. There is a critical distinction between informed consent and exploitative marketing, especially in spaces like multi-level marketing (MLM) or high-pressure affiliate programs. One recurring example of this overreach is the use of repetitive, emotionally charged recruitment messages sent multiple times per week. These pitches often promise easy, recurring income, highlight low effort for high return, and use urgency or FOMO tactics to push recipients […]
Can a New Business Directory Really Compete with Google or Yelp
Can a New Business Directory Really Compete with Google or Yelp? The Truth About $500 Month Listings Does Local City Places have the WOW FACTOR? With the proliferation of online business directories like Google My Business, Yelp, and other well-established platforms, it’s hard to imagine a new directory breaking into the market and offering a compelling reason for businesses to pay nearly $500 per month for a listing. Despite these challenges, some newer companies claim they can compete with Google, Yelp, and other long-established directories. But when you scratch beneath the surface, this claim starts to look a bit questionable. Let’s dive into why competing with the "big dogs" isn't as simple as it sounds. The High Cost of Being Listed Charging $500 per month for a business listing may sound steep to many small businesses, especially when they can […]
When “Business Directories” Are Just Empty Shells: A Warning for Sponsors and Advertisers
When "Business Directories" Are Just Empty Shells: A Warning for Sponsors and Advertisers In today's digital marketplace, many entrepreneurs are being approached with exciting offers to "sponsor" local businesses on emerging online directories. These pitches often promise exclusive access to thousands of merchants, AI-powered tools, cashback programs, and massive future growth. On the surface, it sounds like a golden opportunity — especially when accompanied by claims of hundreds of thousands of businesses already on boarded. However, beneath the surface, not all of these directories are what they appear to be. In some cases, what is marketed as a "fully populated" business platform is little more than a shell — a database of scraped or purchased listings that contain little more than basic contact information. No real merchant engagement, no custom content, and certainly no active participation. Sponsors are often led […]
