I thought those links were just to inform the readers about a thing. I did'nt know that they would be asking a penny for the product they are offering. Facebook has become the new MySpace. Ironic, since a few years ago, MySpace was touted as becoming the new Facebook. More people are joining the social networking site, and it's also a great place to advertise for a business – it's free advertising space, and social networks have become a marketing hotbed over the last few years. There are precious few opportunities for a business to have access to so many potential customers, which can be a great way to build customer rapport, as long as you aren't spamming anyone – customers hate that. And since the website is free to sign up for, a business can start advertising on Facebook without needing payday loans to start an ad campaign.

Comment On The Internet Scam Industry

Thanks for the good story. Well researched and well written. Would enjoy reading more stories on how authorities have tried to prosecute, what legislators can do, etc. Good luck.
