Could you Spot a SCAM ?
There are SCAMS all over the internet and anyone online for more than 6 months would probably be guilty of falling for something that was "too good to be true"...
This subject prompted me to write an Article on What Makes a Scam, a SCAM ?

Lateef,
I have tried to delete "sls1960's" post but for some reason it won't delete.
His remarks were totally inappropriate and were obviously only made to flog his own product (Which looks like a Scam itself anyway).

However, I felt like crying when your last point specifically mentioned my country, Nigeria. Why did you not cite country examples in others? Is Nigeria the only country having bad legs that engage in scams? I think the branding of scams with a country's name is not fair enough. I am a Nigerian, and proud to be one despite what some of us do to spoil our names. I hav
