Avoid Online Scams: Scamtypes.Com
July 3rd 2007 07:39
I've just discovered a blog that appears to have quite a bit of helpful information for avoiding internet scams of many different types. While browsing MyBlogLog, I decided to check out BlogCave and found this blog listed among the membership of that blogging community. It's a blog that could prove very beneficial to those of us who seek opportunities of various types online, so just thought I'd pass on the link to my readers.
The blog is called Scamtypes, and it covers such scams as Internet, Lottery, Work at Home, Charity, Link Trade, and Affiliate Marketing scams, as well as many other types of fraudulent activities. Click on over and take a look! The hide you save may be your own!
Stay safe!

Thanks for pointing your readers to this valuable resource for identifying scams. Although, did you see that they list the moon landing in 1969 as a possible scam?

With the Scamtypes site, as with anything else, the reader will simply have to use his or her own judgment to decide how much to believe and how much to ignore. I trust my readers to do that.
Thanks for the heads up!

Update: Just checked out the post in question and, while it's unfortunate that it is entitled Moon Landing Hoax, which makes it sound as if the website is claiming it to be such, the post actually does not give a conclusion about whether or not the landing was a hoax. It simply presents the "evidence" used by those who believe this and lets the reader decide. I thought it to be a fairly reasonable look at the question--partly because it asks what the reader believes at the end of the post. (Though I, personally, would have ended that post title with a question mark.) I have no problem with the fact that they covered the question on their site, since many people believe the landing to be a hoax, which makes it a timely (not to mention fascinating) issue.
