skimming is not for everyone, you need to be very smart, have alot of money, have good connections, and good knowledge on the subject which is always changing and NEVER public. but that is the same with everything. you need to build from scratch, that is all i will say. and anybody with experience will back this.
so unless you have really good tech knowledge, building knowledge, computer knowledge, and great connections, please stay away. i know many people who have lost way more than 10k trying to get successful skimmers running. but i know many who are rolling in $$ at same time.
but remember, there are 1,000,000 different ways to make money in this biz, do what interests you. its about being free and making your own dreams come true and getting money 100% on your own. i know many people rich from skimming, some rich from counterfeits, some rich from dumps. i know many poor people doing the same things though.
its not about what you choose to do, its about how good you are at working in this biz which will determine how much you make. there is nothing that makes more money than something else, its about how good you are at doing it.
