Quack Quack Scam!!!

Have you ever heard of the phrase "If it quacks like a duck, and if walks like a duck, then it must be a duck"? Well this also applies to any internet scam. If it sounds and smells like a scam, then it is a scam. Most scams that are on the internet are too obvious to me. They usually ask for money up front in order gain access to some kind of special membership software or some other crap they make up. Another trait these scams have is outrageous testimonials and e-mail only contact information. If a company can't afford a phone number than they shouldn't be in business anyways.

The most common scam going today is the type-at-home and rebate processor scam. These are scams mainly because of the bogus membership fees. First of all, these are not one time membership fees, but monthly membership fees. This means that you basically pay to be employed which makes no since. Think about it, would you pay to stay employed at your current job? Of course not. The purpose of working is for your employer to pay you, not vise versa.
