so sorry about that I must have passed you the wrong one.
That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all crazy because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like contests and stuff instead of money.
But anyways, the correct site is
W A V E 5 0 0 . COM
it's the one I am cashing $650 a week with putting in about 23 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm motivated.
After you get your membership make sure you register with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay pay top dollars, I got $50 for one that took me 50 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get in there.
Becky started taking them too and she's making $850 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.
Alright well me and Jake are getting ready to leave now, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership. bye
