The Opening Post

Hello to the Internet!

Since its creation, the Internet has allowed everyone with access to a computer to seek out information to improve themselves, their businesses, or simply for amusement.

But the ability to reach millions of people with a few keystrokes and mouse clicks has a darker side - it makes it easier for con artists, also known as scammers, to contact their victims and take their money.

This blog will outline some of the many scams on the internet on a day-by-day basis. If you happen to read anything that you're not sure about or don't understand, just leave a comment about it, and I'll post something to reply.

I'm going to run over the basic outline of all scams to start with, and then we'll start tearing in with some of the many scams presenting themselves as business opportunities on eBay. I'll explain why each different listing is a scam and what all of them will offer you - should save a few of you a pretty penny!!

Until tomorrow, bye for now!
