   KMA Merchant services (?) recently told me on the phone that Franklin Financial Solutions and Biggest Shopping Store were scam artists. Who is the scam artist here?

     It’s a listing site. They list a bunch of job offers and they get paid for successful leads. It’s kind of like monster.com, but these kind of sites don’t care whether a listing is a scam or not. From the looks of it, they’re trying to lure you into sign up for one of those online home businesses. Those are all scams.

     EDIT: Unlike their front page, they seem to list mostly retail jobs other non-work-at-home jobs.

     That’s a typical scam. I’ll add it to the list, but I don’t manage this list any more because there are just so many of them.

     People are free to discuss sites on this page, but I won’t be populating the make-money scam list any further.

   Is this website – homeworkingconnection.com legitimate? I found it on Facebook.

     I have actually had two telephone calls from a person in Chicago saying all I have to do is pay $1.95 USD for a trial and then $29 USD to actually join the network?

   This site is very convincing, but, anymore, I always check to see if something is
   a scam or not. Unfortunately, even sites like this one, which has been registered
   for four years, there seem to be zero testimonials on the internet by anyone who’s
   actually tried it. It costs $50.00 to find out whether it’s real or not. I’m hoping
   you’ll have better resources than I seem to to get to the truth. The site is under
   the title Work-at-Home-Jobs.tv . Please check it out for me.

     Don’t buy it. It doesn’t look very convincing at all. As soon as you see crap like, “As seen on… CNBC, ABC, BBC, CNN, etc”, you know it’s a scam. Just about all sites trying to convince you to buy a package to help you “work at home” is not worth the price.

     I’m pretty sure you’re going to get some ebooks with the $50 purchase and possibly get enrolled into a newsletter so they can sell you more stuff later. It’s very typical. I try not to list them here though because 1) it’s endless and 2) it’s not really a scam as you do get something in return, and you might learn something from it. But you’re not going to get any new information that you couldn’t find online for free.

   Sadly, most of the scams come from non-U.S. countries, so outside of blocking them(which would last all of 20 mins until they set up a different page) it is back to the original “buyer beware”. Remember if it sounds too good to be true, IT IS!

   Thanks Tom. rachelrayblogs.com was already on the list, but added the other two to the lists.

   It is true that more needs to be done about internet scams. But there is a special law enforcement department dedicated to this.

   For example, in US, ic3.gov deals with internet scams.

   This page has more info on various gov't and non gon't agencies.

   If You Have Been Scammed

   Also, recently, FTC revised its rules to be tougher on online endorsements such as fake blogs and testimonials and requiring bloggers to give full disclosure.

   You can read more here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/06/business/media/…

   The biggest problem is the international nature of many online crimes such as Nigerian scams. It is impossible for law enforcements in different countries to cooperate.

   I have added a few more to the growing list. I knew this day would come, that is the explosion of internet scams. It seems like there is no end to them. In my personal opinion at some point there will have to be a new special law enforcement department dedicated to this. Currently no one seems to be set up to handle the sheer number of them.

    Also add Profit Profusion or Google Profusion to this list. I run a anti-scam site and get 5-10 complaints on them a day!
