Scam the Scammers?

I am passionate about the interconnectivity of the internet and the way it enables people to access markets previously totally inaccessible. My business is about making money online, and I love what I do, but I despise how people always find ways to scam others, and I despise how easily it happens on the internet.

I spend time surfing the internet finding out methods of marketing, and finding ways in which to maximise income. When I visit a website and an interesting Google ad is displayed, I have no problem clicking on it. I have found lots of great information by doing so – but how many “Work from home and make mega bucks without any effort” advertisements can a girl take?

At one stage I was convinced that I was being stalked by these ads, but I’m told by others that they see them too, so my paranoia has diminished somewhat over time – still, no matter where I am, these ads sneak up on me, and I find myself irritated at the ridiculous promises made.

There are just so many forms of scams on the internet, that I decided to start this website which showcases what people are blogging about, and what's in the news

It’s my small contribution to the anti-scam campaign, and a large contribution to my sense of justice and my sense of well-being.
