  • Absolutely Claudia, online scams target vulnerability of people who are desperate to make money online. We at ditchninetosurvive.com emphasise that online business is NOT a get rich stuff, honest online opportunities is for those who are ready to take time for the business to develop. It is sad that most people still fall for the promise of gargantuan income. Thank you for visiting our website, and we wish you all the best always.
