Tryin to get ideas?  The most real one I encountered was when some jackhole on AOL got a username like "AolService5" and said "your account has been reset...please provide your account credit card and expiration date to continue service"...I reported him.

Anything that seems too good to be true probably is.  If they claim that you can make a tonne of money with almost no effort, time or sacrafice, then ya it is more than likely a scam.  don't be a chump and get sucked in.

Contact scambusters.com to report internet fraud.\nNot sure what country you're in, but I would suggest contacting Scotland Yard in England. Try Google or another search engine for their contact information.

These scammer used to use the website www.thecomputerwarehouseinc.com .  I know of 6 they have used.  One gets closed down and they start a new one.  \n\nThey will send you counterfeit item that are useless and you can not get your money back because you have to pay COD.  Try to call there customer service number.  They don't answer!!!!

Scams, most likely. I don't trust online too much, they say free and then u need a credit card for a $1.00 charge which they could continue to charge your account.\nAnywho, the old fashioned way, a job or the new way - go on a reality show, act a fool, get kicked off and the phone will start ringing off the hook. I feel like doing it myself.

No. It's a scam. There are a lot of urban legends and phishing scams out there that use that try to trick people to give money or continue spreading the word about a forward which wastes network bandwidth and people's time.\n\nWhen you get one check against snopes if the story sounds flawed. Check Symantec for things such as viruses and phishing scams.

try www.snopes.com or www.scambusters.com, you could even try the better business bureau.  If is it s web related scam such as a phishing scam, you should report it to the people the phishers are trying to emulate, such as ebay or myspace...If it is an email scam, report it to your isp or the isp of the offending email, so that thier account can be pulled.
