    Why there is no protection against liars on the internet
    I have checked out several websites that offer jobs like rebate processors and others. Most of the sites offer very convincing and impressive,realistic results with some reasonable work expectations. Almost all of them I find have an unfavorable rating of( F )with the BBB. There are complaints of unresolved issues ranging anywhere from un-remitted fees to outright fruad. How and why should any of us in CYBERWORLD feel that we won't be scammed by these greedy unethetical people who run these sites and why is there so little action to protect the general public when these events happen to thousands and thousands of well intended people everyday?:confused::mad::eek:

    Because in many cases, many are based off shore or in nations where there are little or no laws.

    For others, they put warnings in FAQ or other areas no one ever reads that these earnings are not normal and so on.

    Also the issues of often the scam is for little sums, happen in other states than the business is in, and so on.

    But that is why people should be careful, common sense of what is possible, no one should ever believe they make 1000 dollars a day with no work and so on

    Most of the jobs I have researched are right here in the USA. I do agree that "common sense" should come into play;that is why I never committ to the "if it sounds to good to be true" promise. I do think that these types of scams destroy trust and;in some cases,ruin commerce. Not all of the users on the NET are as savy as others.They just want to believe.;);)
