@karla, Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Getting scammed hurts big time, both mentally and financially, in some cases. I’ve been there several times myself, so I know the pain it causes.
My goal with my website and blog is to provide opportunities and resources that are going to benefit people and help them earn money, not get scammed and lose it all.

@Alan Mater,
I’ll try to make a real long story short, yet comprehensible lol.
I run my own physical product direct sales business.
My main supplier also offers websites preloaded with all their items if it’s wished. I say main because it’s about 3000 items.
This is what I thought I was purchasing when in reality it was some scumbag who hacked into my suppliers database and was selling illegal preloaded sites.
One day he was just…gone…POOF.
That’s when I found a list of scumbags on my suppliers website, lol. People they knew of and were going after.
I only lost a couple hundred cash, but a boatload of time.

@Dennis Edell, Ahh… well at least it was only a couple hundred and not more. But, I’m sure you were mad quite the same, especially for losing all that time.

@Alan Mater,
Yea, the site itself was between 2-300$ if memory serves, but we’re talkin’ MONTHS in time.
I was thrilled to see the list. This is one company with billion dollars attorneys on retainer. LOL

Thankfully, my comment was still there when I backspaced.

@Alan Mater,
Dare indeed. But according to the federal government, we don’t have to.
