Well I guess INTERNET SCAMS is getting really bad when we start calling the

I think it's a good idea to use the personsname as well as the Website or program if it is a scam. That way we can check other sites. If the scammers name comes up we can assume it is just another scam. But like you said they need to be sure that the person they name is actually the one who is the scammer. That information should be checked out very carefully. It seems there are more scams on the 'net than there is legit programs, that's why we have to do so much checking before we join any program. It's no fun getting scammed by the same person over and over.

It may be that one person is involved in the scam and one or the other may have been involved in more than one scam, I think that if we were to start naming names instead of the websites, that more may be done about it, and it may cause the website to be taken down and hopefully use who try to do th right thing can put an end to this once and for all, I think that all of us on mylot need to come together and maybe do a website on things that they are positive that they have been scammed by.This would be one good way to let others know that they need to stay away from it.

I think that it's good to mention the site name & the owners name - they can blame the previous owners all they want but unless they send messages out to all members explaining what is happening & that payments may take a little longer but if they don't fix the problems from the previous owner or don't at least try, then in my book, that makes them just as guilty as the original scammers.

Unfortunately law enforcement does not take internet scams, or scams in general as seriously as they should. If one forges checks or prints counterfeit money, it is take seriously, but identity theft and internet scams seem to be the playground of the new thief, together with counterfeit consumer goods and intellectual property theft, I understand law enforcement can get overwhelmed. This only leaves one way of policing the internet scams is by the users themselves. Spammers and scammers have to be exposed, otherwise they will continue to operate under the cloak of invisibility forever. I did not start this crap, but I would like to finish it.

If there is absolute proof of who scammed, and most especially if the scam is "big" and the perpetrator a repeater, by all means, name names. It might put an end at least to that particular scam. And it would alert others. Good question! Karen

Yeah, you're right. Something has to be done, but i wonder how and what can we do to fight against all these scams. As prevention method, we've to always stay alert and do not try or do not accept those offer that seems to be too good, and also need us to pay in order to get something in return. Ya, it's really scary that nowadays all kinds of scams exist and some of them are really advanced that we can hardly distinguish whether it's real or fake ones. Those scammers are of course the persons to be blamed. They should use their knowledge to do something useful and contribute to the society, instead of using it to cheat others and get advantage from others.

Hmm, I think the answer could only come on a case by case basis. Me myself I would be suspicious of the person who is doing the pointing, depending on what position they had with the company. There's no telling if a scammer works alone, or with a group of people. The only thing I believe we can realistically do is be more diligent in researching the websites and programs we join, and to put the word out when something doesn't look right or goes wrong within the organization, if you cannot resolve it within.
