However they have chosen to work dubiously, and have no interest in honest work. My concern is that as times get harder more and more of these guys (and gals) will come out of the woodwork.

To make a long story short, I've been trying to get a commercial loan for a property I own with ground contamination. Needless to say, nearly impossible in these tough times, especially with contamination. In the last 2 months I have dealt with over 125 different drokers, bankers, lenders, etc. with some wanting to guarantee me the money with a fee, paid up front! I don't think so. Born late but no yesterday! One broker wanted me to sign a Power of Attorney in case I found the money elsewhere. I’m here to say there are all kinds of scams, especially online.

While I haven't dealt with complete theft, I did deal with a company who refused to provide me with what I paid for. Issuing a chargeback wasn't a big deal.

Just think if these people scamming and stealing, actually put all their ambition & energy towards real business success? It's too easy the illegal way - They would really accomplish something, if they succeeded in mainstream society!! Your post makes me wonder …

A couple of years ago I had my identity stolen, and I STILL have no idea how it happened. Yeah, they have insurance for this kind of thing now, but it's far better not to be a victim in the first place.

Avoiding the scams by being aware will save you so much time and aggravation. Canceling credit cards, dealing with credit card companies to resolve debt that has been falsely accumulated takes a ton of time.

Some of the other ones actually happened to my friend too recently so we aren't as safe as you'd seem to portray.
