Stop The Scams

Updated on April 29, 2010

Time To Stop The Scams

So the time has come to stop the scams. Thanks to a forum post and some great ideas from Hubbers I am setting out on a mission.

Slowly but surely I want to help as many people as possible when it comes to scams.

I know this is titled stop the scams but even though some people might think of me as an idiot I know Im not enough of an idiot to believe I could stop all the scams and all the scammers.

That's why I will work on educating people instead. If this is done properly and I do a good job on traffic I believe I could save people thousands and thousands of dollars over time.

There is no way I could get everyone to stop buying the garbage. That's just not going to happen. However I know when I first started I would have loved if someone told me which garbage not to buy.

I know there are other sites out their that review sites but I want to make this more than that. I want it to be more interactive. I truly want it to help people.

Are All Programs Scams

The short answer is no. All programs are not scams. The thing is most programs will never help anyone out except for the people selling them.

I guess we have to determine what is a scam. If someone sells you something and says it will do something then in my eyes it better dam well work like they say it will.

The problem is almost all programs and products especially when it comes to making money online just don't work.

Before we can stop the scams we have to recognize the scams.

I would say that anything that promotes using the words easy, quickly, overnight and stuff like that are well on their way to being scams.

The one thing I will say is a lot of people are guilty of labeling something as a scam just because it didn't work for them.

You need to realize that anything you do online will require effort. There is no magic spell that will just do everything for you.

What Are My Intentions With My Scam Website?

My first focus will be on all the scammers that are coming to Hubpages.

Many of the new programs out there now are actually telling their students to go and spam Hubpages with their programs. So I figure this will be a great place to start.

Stop the scams will not only be about scam sites but also sites that I recommend. Now don't take this wrong. This isn't a trick or something. I just believe that if I am going to expose the scams then why not talk about the good guys as well.

I am lucky in the fact that I can get a lot of the new programs for free. Don't ask how, why or where because I wont reveal that. The nice thing is with access I can do a proper review.

When Will The Stop The Scams Website Be Ready?

I am hoping to make the site live in the next week or so.

Of course at the beginning the site will be fairly bare as I can only do so many reviews at once.

The neat thing is this will be a site that can grow on a daily basis.

I will also be taking suggestions as well.

In fact I will be reaching out to Hubbers to suggest sites or programs I do a review on.

The site will be open to the world but will have me leaning towards the good people at Hubpages.

I haven't quite cemented any details yet but by the time the site goes live I will have all the little things worked out.

Will The Site Make A Difference

I believe the new website can make a difference.

There are many scam buster sort of sites out there but only a few really are legit. Many of them say they are trying to help others but it just turns out to be a cookie cutter review site promoting a few products on each page.

I really don't think it will be hard to get the site on page one of Google in many different situations.

As the site grows it will build link juice and work its way up there as well.

It really is a matter of how bad I want it to take off and what I am willing to do with it.

How Can Hubbers Help With Stop The Scams?

I really don't know how much attention this will get but I need to try.

Any hubbers can help by forwarding me any website, program or product that they want a review done on.

As any hubbers are surfing and see something they want some feed back on just send me the link.

Just so everyone knows though. I will be looking for the help of hubbers but I wont be relying on it.

I will also be doing my leg work and getting as many reviews up as I can.

I will leave this for now. Hubbers can start emailing me links as soon as possible but I will need to finish the site before moving on.

I will release the link as soon as the site is ready to go.

For now thanks and I look forward to helping any hubbers with any concerns.
