Internet money making scams

yes i have fell in a scam two years ago

hi, so far for me i haven't fell to the spells of these scams. i received emails/letter though, but i make it a habit to check first the company names used, if there's contact# i try to call if possible... like this sweepstakes scam online, it's crazy, asking you to send money to them for bank charges for the money you've won from the lottery. WHY NOT JUST DEDUCT THE BANK CHARGES FROM THE MONEY WON???? you can already see trouble along the line.... :)
