    Of course there are kids around who think they can fool a bunch of people for money, but I dont think those numbers are increasing.

    I have been scammed once for $700 but never affected me since i make much more. You have to be honest in your life and work sincerely to be a good internet marketer. Scamming will not bring you anywhere.

    It is absolutely getting worse, and will continue to do so... every day, millions of people come online for the first time... that's a LOT of easy targets for scammers. In 50 years or so, once EVERYONE is online... it will become much harder for scammers, as people become more intelligent and know how to avoid scams.
