      Hi there,
      
      It can take days, even a week or two, for articles to be moved to network sites. Have patience.
      
      Also research the articles on the particular site that carries topics you are interested in.
      
      Make sure your images carry a Creative Commons license and are able to be used on a commercial site. You cannot lift images from other sites without permission.

      Your Callout capsule is grammatically incorrect. Plurals (scammers) do not require an apostrophe.
      
      And, as Divacratus says, simplify your formatting. There's way too much fussiness going on. Makes it difficult to read.
      
      Break the text up into several capsules and use proper subheadings for each scam.
      
      Lots of work to do but good luck.

            Do you mean you submitted it to a network site and it's been rejected? Or do you mean it hasn't passed the Quality Assessment Process?
            
            Here is your competition: https://toughnickel.com/search?query=scam Your article has to be at least as good as, or better than those.
            
            Edit: I looked at your other articles and they are all suffering from formatting overload. If articles were people they need to be cool and calm, otherwise they look like they are screaming. And you must make sure those images are legal to use.

               Featured on Hubpages. But when I tried submitting to Hubpages Network, Turbofuture.com, I got an email saying it couldn't be selected.

      I got a 404 page not found response. It seems you've unpublish the article?

   All depends on HubPages. Not all featured hubs get selected for network sites. Only the highest quality ones are considered.
   
   I went through your article. If you notice, in the 5th point, the number 5 is underlined. It is not the same for others. So it is kind of inconsistent that way. These little things matter. Also, all the bold letterings, italics and underlines are kind of a distraction (at least for me).
   
   A good learning technique is to look into other pages that are on network sites. By this I don't mean blatantly copying their styles, but just looking into what makes the cut. When you do, you will find out that none of these pages are oversaturated with paragraph styles (bold, italics, underlining).

      I do want to say thank you for checking it out too. Now my question with the photos, even if you gave the source name is still not okay? Sorry my first time

   Besides what divacratus said, I would put each numbered item in a separate text block, and  make the first line in each section a sub title in title case. Also, the link in your photo is to a marketing firm. That could well get your article labeled as spam.

      Thanks for your feedback! I need some more clarification with the photos. Even if you named the source or give them a courtesy is not okay still? Sorry still learning

         No. It's never okay to help yourself to any published material, whether written or imagery. People have been sent demands for payment for unauthorised use. I have sent invoices for unauthorised use of my own work - and been paid.
         
         Read that link I sent you. It is really helpful.

         Yes, that's what Bev means Miebakagh.
         
         It was often announced at the end of an Elvis Presley concert that, 'Elvis has left the building.' This was said to encourage fans to disperse.
         
         Hope that helps!
