Some discussions about scams

I have just finished making a number of posts relating to scams and I found out that many people have been scammed and that it is something quite common on the internet. I suppose that nothing can be done about it because there will always be takers and even though people learn once they have been scammed not to trust everyone implicitly, there are newbies that just wait to be scammed, what with their open-eyed suggestibility.

This is not to say that newbies are easily duped. But that scammers are constantly perfecting their craft and it is becoming more difficult to spot the scams that are played on the internet. I only hear about this person and that person who have been scammed and you thank God that this part of their education is now over and they are ready to move on to the next stage.

Mylot is one way of making money while having fun posting on things you care about.

There is always: Ching's Way and Ching's Web along with Ching's Best and Ching's Illusion. Way to go, Ching!

Another scam

I recently got an email telling me about another scam which involved asking you to try out an offer for $1 but which also requires you to give your credit card information and your permission to have them deduct $29 every month unless you revoke it.

One could easily forget to revoke since one would not be reading all the fine print and the details and one could suddenly just discover it months hence, if ever it does get found out.

This is a very clever scam and would not be a scam of itself if what it is selling is worth the monthly fee.

Check out these sites :Cagayan de Oro City which recently got to page 4. Dumaguete is fine but nowhere on the search pages. Cagayan de Oro City is making me feel good.

Check out these other sites: Cebu which suddenly got a pr1, Cagayan de Oro just for fun. Moira Trinity also got a pr1.

Work At Home Scam

It seemed too good to be true. Well as it turned out, it was. The sales pitch made a big to-do about the scheme being legal and allowed by government agencies. Immediately, it should have raised a red flag somewhere in my brain but my curiousity got the better of me and, the money they were asking was not really much. There were others asking for $49 and even $99 for what seemed like the same thing. Here was this offer for $9. I just had to find out if it was the real deal. Well as they say, curiousity killed the cat. In this case, curiousity scammed this cat.

Come in and take a look at these sites: Bethel Guest House, The Blog Bum, XUHS, XU-AAA.

As it turned out, the materials they were so "generous" in giving amounted duplicating the ads and getting other people to buy into the scheme and in effect, scam others. The only thing is, I was going to be the one to scam these unwitting others. I emailed the lady who so blithely said it was not against the law. I said it was certainly immoral and left her to deal with her karma. I certainly got stung with mine.

There is beauty in Ching's World, Cagayan de Oro City, Cebu City, Dumaguete, Papoy, Moira Trinity. Check out these pages.

Ching's World is a labor of love and I hope it lives a little longer than it does. Ching's World rocks!!!
