Making money online comes easy to some and to others, it's a constant battle
of avoiding pitfalls where scams are lurking at every corner of the world wide web.
In my niche on the net...autosurfs are riddled with scammers and this is taking
a toll on the "good" Admins out there trying to earn an income online

A major factor is the latest trend of  "profit share" programs where I have yet to
encounter a crooked Admin. So...it's only natural more and more people will
turn to these type programs and the scams in the autosurf niche are having less
luck cheating people. Again...this also hurts the honest guys and gals out there
trying to run a surf program with a medium to high ROI although these still won't
last beyond 3 to 4 months at the most.

And what about HYIPs with outrageous ROIs and terms...better to have a good
night in a Hotel and have some fun or splurge at your favorite restaurant.

Let's look offline and see if it is safer investing in the "real" world versus the virtual
world. Yesterday the main headliner was about Earl Jones out of Montreal, Quebec,
Canada that bilked 50 million dollars from investors. A couple weeeks ago, one of the
more notable scammers sentenced to life in jail was Wall Street's, Bernie Madoff
...50 billion involved there.



In the hockey world....Sergei Fedorov, a one time Detroit Wing Stanley cup winner,
let an investor take control of 47 million dollars in a promise to grow it to 60 million
dollars! Gone!

Unbelievable!...47 million dollars earning interest in the bank is not enough or what?
Here I am, watching over ever $20 that comes through my payment processors and
millions gone there.

Closer to home...a predominant lawyer in Halifax, Nova Scotia got arrested for running
an illegal investment scheme.

With all this and the authorities scrutinizing investment programs more than ever,
scammers or anyone who thinks their program is run legally but unsure, better
watch their backs. On and offline I can fore see a larger scale crackdown coming.
