If you see an ad on TV for a website whose URL is of the form www.(two-digit-number)(short word).com, you have only yourself to blame if you actually visit the website. Especially if it promises you a million dollar income.

I, of course, have never believed a word of it, but I was curious just how it "worked." Never got around to checking on it, though.

My understanding is, you supply them with your address, and they want to "mail" you an info packet. Of course, their shipping fee is insanely high, must be paid upfront, and they say if you don't send the packet back, no refund.

That's how these people get rich- charge you to send you mail, then they likely never mail it.

I expect a lot of these are also now spammers. Rather than scamming on the postage thing, they set you up to run spam from your computer.

Well, some email spammers have made a small fortune... of course, it's illegal money.
