AFFILIATE SCAM SITES
I have
included this page for all that has fallen victim to fraud or scams
online or offline. If you feel the need to report it
-- to prevent others from succumbing to the same ploy that hit you -- I
have listed the sites for your convenience.
However, please do not take this responsibility lightly -- if you are wronged, or treated badly
-- but not scammed, do not report it. A scam occurs when a
program or a business misrepresents or makes promises that they do not
keep. This is a quick directory of places where you can
report your scams, sites that can keep you
abreast of what scams are circulating the Internet, as well as, other
helpful sites to keep you safe.

is. (This is a hard lesson to learn when you want to make money --
learning to walk away.)
