Scammed? Tell me about it...
Some people here may remember that when I first started here I built a site to promote WA and to warn people about less than perfect "opportunities".
At the time we were busy dealing with the walking wounded and battle-scarred refugees from Empower Network. However, the must be many more scams and pyramid schemes out tthere which deserve coverage.
It would help me greatly, and possibly help many others if you were to briefly write about your experiences with something other than Empower Network, and similarly tell us about any good experiences with some of the good guys out there.
I'll then do an article on each and place it on http://crimsonleaf.biz, which is the site I referred to at the top of the page.
Your help would be

I started training with Internet Income University. As "oilean" shared about their experience, mine with IIU has been similar. Perhaps it's more of a pyramid...hard to say. The WA community structure is far superior to IIU's as are the video training modules. IIU doesn't have a monthly commitment like WA, and although I don't think it's as "scammy" as some might believe, it too has a slightly different approach.
I used Sitesell for a while, but simply didn't have the time to give it. It seemed similar to WA, but you didn't 'own' your own site (i.e. if you decided to leave SiteSell, it was very difficult to bring the domain with you) but it was less of a monthly investment. The training wasn't as 'effortless' as it is on WA - I definitely prefer WA training. Also, the 'community' wasn't as strong. I can't really remember if there was much of community TBH. I would consider checking it out again sometime as I don't feel it's a scam, rather a slightly different approach to WA - with some positives, and some negatives.
It was WEBPROFITS FROM HOME who took INR 1192 from my Debit Card without my approval and knowledge. They fraudulentely took the details of the card and money had gone to them on 29th July 2013 TO MOTO as per my bank statement.
This may not be a scam but has anyone heard of Banofa. I have had no personal experience and refusing to get involved until I've exhausted WA. But doesn't look like that will happen.
I have been quite lucky to date, but have always been very cautious, as I know there are very unscrupulous people out there. I was almost caught about 18 months ago by a secret shopper scam, they tried to recruit secret shopper's to visit a Western Union point, and make a transaction which they sent me a check for inc fee and expenses. Cool sounds great but alarm bells were ticking. They wanted the transaction to be completed before the check was cleared, hoping I would pay out of my own fund's, which was no chance even if I had them, So I started to play games with them and go along so far. I looked into the page source and managed to find out the location of these scammers, I did not gain , but nor did they as I did have a bit of fun by being one step ahead of them. Stay under the wing of WA and you won't go wrong. Good luck to all.

I came across a website" http://webdesign.about.com/ " that seems to be very good FREE information. I haven't explored them much because I'm a little overloaded with the good information here. Has anybody else have any experience with about.com ?
All the information you need is here at WA. :-) Just my opinion
