Introducing Fummo - The Most Idiotic Scam On The Internet!

10 comments - Post a comment

The headline says it all. The new paid to program called Fummo is absolutely ridiculous and I'm writing about it just so you don't accidentally fall for it. To give you the full picture, I'll just quote Fummo's admin (I apologize for the bad English):

Fummo is advertising company where our members can earn free money doing simple and free offers, Searching using our search engine, viewing advertisments, and Inviting friends to join under your referal link!

''Our Goal is to Offer for everyone chance to earn real money without spending much time.

We are making money from each of our member so we can also pay to each of our member, because there is a lot of company's who want to be noticed and advertised, so we are here to help them and also to you! All is very simple we get paid by another company's and we pay you, so everyone wins!

Our Main Goal is to reach at least 400,000 Registered members before 20.may and another 1,000,000 by the end of year 2007, Our team is based of 4peoples who are improving our system and advertise it at all world!

You won't regret if you will join Fummo now because you will be able to earn free money Starting from the time when you register at our site for as long time as you wish!

So don't stay away and join fummo and invite your friends also to join under you and get $5 from each your friend! It's worth it!''


Is this a great offer or what?! It is, at least it would be - in your dreams! Take a look at the screenshot below, what do you see?




You see a not so good looking web site and ONLY one Google AdSense ad. Now, After I do some math (400,000 members x $5 per referral), I wonder how will the magnificent Fummo pay $2 million dollars to their members from just one AdSense ad. They won't!

What else is there to say about Fummo, it's a 110% proven scam. Now all I can do is give you a link to Fummo so you can take a look at it and laugh your guts out. Enjoy!

Hi Alex,

I think the main way Fummo intends to make money is through people using their search engine. The results will most likely be from RevenuePilot/SearchFeed etc (ie - every search result earns them money) as well as Adsense on the side.

That said, I'm sure you are right about them being a scam.

It's amazing how frequently things like this pop up. The majority of these site owners figure that one of three things can happen when introducing something like this:

1. Generate enough sign-ups and traffic to sell the concept/site/user base for a tidy sum.
2. Make enough money from on-site advertising to be able to actually develop their concept.
3. String their potential membership along long enough to make a tidy sum from their on-site advertisements.

Obviously, based on the way they have advertised, options 2 and 3 aren't likely.

gath - They're advertising a search engine, but that search engine is nowhere to be seen.

blabwire - one point you left out is:

4. They're trying to make as much money as possible from AdSense before their scam gets completely uncovered, which is about now..

HI all,
I agree with you two.
I have put the fummo banner from last week on my page. Fummo said that they will open this program on may 2007, but I havent got further positive information about this program. It,s a SCAM! I've just remove their promotion banner.Thanks for your opinion guys.

FUMMO is totally a scam. The site now is nowhere to be found. Webhosting account is suspended so it means the admin is that poor enough to give away $5 per referral.

I was one of the idiots who fell for this unfortunately, signing up hundreds of referrals...
but suddenly, about 3 weeks before their launch/first payout date, FUMMO changed their payout policy: they will only pay for each referral who "completes an offer" on the site. But since there aren't any offers available on FUMMO, they will be paying out to nobody.

Well my site www.fakefummo.co.nr seems to have officially closed fummo.com after only 3 days later of my opening of my site. Yay

Thanks to everyone else who supported me
