Google Work-At-Home Kit? Make Money Posting Links From Home? Get Paid For Doing Absolutely Nothing?

In my Internet Complaint Box post, I briefly touched on the barrel-bottom forum over at Google, where any and all forms of complaint and discussion seem to rise, as if bubbling from the soupy runoff of a newbie processing plant. By far, the most common discussion is the “Internet scam”.

A certain degree of triage is performed by myself and several other “power-user” contributors. Unfortunately, most of these episodes are too far along to offer any satisfactory resolve – credit cards have been handed over, repeat charges are appearing on bank statements, and representative phone numbers aren’t working.

Once again, these scams have absolutely nothing to do with Google. But since “Google” is synonymous with “Internet”, people seem to think Google should know that they’ve been scammed on “their” Internet. It really is a serious problem, and I truly feel remorse for most of these unfortunate victims.

And then there are the smarter folks.

Thankfully there are treads like “Is this a scam?” and “Is Google really paying people thousands of dollars to work from home posting links?”. These people, although still a little gullible, can be saved. A quick smack on the back of the head and a caplock-appropriate “STAY AWAY” response typically does the trick. I like to think I’ve saved a Christmas or two – at least more than Ernest did.

But this whole Internet scam problem got me thinking. What if there was a website that could somehow validate the integrity and credibility of a website or email address? If something about that Craigslist deal felt a bit weird, what if you could check to see if the guy was legit? What if that work-from-home email in your spam filter was a real money-making opportunity? How could you check?

Well folks, I am happy to reveal www.ScamScanner.com, a free web-based URL and email scanning tool. Simply paste in the website or email address, click the button, and the program quickly determines whether or not you’ve got yourself a scam!

A quick disclaimer: this tool is not a crutch. Only use the tool when you’ve got that sinking feeling that something isn’t quite right. The algorithm involved is very sensitive and complex and may make mistakes. It’s actually quite clever; you can read more about it here.
