I cannot agree more. I think the intention of this board is more to provide information in a more general way on typical types of scams and how to recognize them. There are always new ones that will come up, but the general principles are not new and have been applied way before online marketing existed.

Everyone I agree, we need to make sure that no names are named unless there is specific proof, and even then i'd rather only the program was mentioned. Designed to educate and warn our members... NOT to accuse or shame, lets keep this section above board please!

Hey Friends,

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WE ALL READ THIS FANTASTIC POST -IN OUR OWN FORUM- FORUM ETIQUETTE

LINK IS http://viralnetworks.com/forum-thread/id/805/FORUM_ETIQUETTE.html

JUST COPY - PASTE THE LINK IN ANOTHER TAB OR WINDOW AND READ.

I fully agree that irrespective of what the topic is scams, complaints about other sites, members, or any information from which we would like other members to be aware or or not fall prey to, it would be ethical in the view of our fantastic Site not to name any person, site or even mention the link directly to other members thereby spreading the word rather than containing it.

I feel we should respect the integrity and rules of the Forum, and FIRST AND FOREMOST REPORT IT TO ADMIN/SUPPORT. You could only say that you would like to report a POSSIBLE SCAM SITE OR LINK....and admin/support will guide you thereafter, rather than indulge in mudslinging and slandering one another.

AS FAR AS SCAMS AND REPORTING SCAMS OF DIFFERENT TYPES ARE CONCERNED THERE ARE SO MANY SITES WHERE WE CAN REPORT THEM DIRECTLY...SOME OF THEM ARE

As William rightly said it, Personal experience is the best form of proof, and if we feel a site is a scam or even the remotest hint is visible, let us not EVER project the link here on the site at all, let alone even discuss about it.

WISHING YOU ALL A SCAM FREE AND HAPPY PROSPEROUS NETWORKING!

This topic caught my attention quick. My last name is Manners lol.

Anyway, do due diligence. I trust anyone but only after I verify, first.

My Scam Quote: 'Bernard Madoff' :)

Great name levi. I suppose you have to always watch your "manners".

o boy everyone picking on manner...lol

o poor old manner...lol

Before you go calling a company everyone knows is reliable a scam bring back proof!

Mary, I know the sentiment...but our whole Gov't. is a scam nowdays. Can't trust any part of it.
William..the proof for that is how our country, not just the economy is sinking daily. Sure it's partly our fault, but even when we've done our duty and voted for who we believe to be the best choice it seems nowdays most of them are crooks of one kind or another.

Lets be honest most of us have never had a Bernie Madoff situation, where you gave someone money and their intent was to scam you, deceive you and take your money. Chances are that hasn’t happened to you!

That's a very sweeping statement William and while we all do have to be careful to do our due diligence before signing up to something I would hate to think that majority of people online were there to scam us :)

I too have been caught out a couple of times, but I still wouldn't want to think that most people were out to get me..
