The JFK Assassination Scam
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Make Money with Your Blog
Sophos.com reports today that the latest email scam involves the JFK Assassination.

The JFK

Assassination Scam

People have theorized for years about an alleged cover-up or governmental conspiracy regarding JFK's death. There have been entire radio networks devoted to this and various other conspiracy theories. I take them all with a grain of salt, but the latest email scam seeks to prey on the conspiracy buffs.

The author of this scam claims he is a dying KGB agent with the TRUE story, from newly-found declassified CIA and KGB documents, the otherwise-unknown secrets. This author will allegedly sell you his secret knowledge, from which you can make a fortune by writing "shocking book(s) that will have success and bring you fame."

This is but the latest generation of the Nigerian Scam. Requesting the alleged "secret" information will only lead to a slew of requests for personal information, money, id theft, bank fraud, and various other offenses.

Was JFK's Assassination a secret cover-up? I'm not sure, but when I was at Tampa International Airport last week, I think I saw JFK hangin' out with Elvis. Go figure.

Beware of the latest Spam Scam
Mood:  chillin'
Topic: Make Money with Your Blog
If you have spent any time at all trying to make some extra cash with your blog, you undoubtedly have received a LOT of spam emails. My computer was down for 3 days last week, and by the time I got internet service back, I had over a thousand spam emails.

I just have a few things to say about these SPAM emails...let the buyer beware. If an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is. The latest Spam Scam I refer to in the title, the so-called "pump and dump" scam, has actually been around for a while, but Sophos.com recently mentioned that this scam accounts for about 15 per cent of all spam emails.

The scam involves an email campaign that boosts the value of a company's stock so that spammers can make a quick profit. The spam usually uses images instead of text, which sometimes bypasses spam filters.

A "pump and dump" scam might read, "Bogus Industries This stock is extremely undervalued! Recommendation: Strong Buy Short-term forecast: 300+%! ACT NOW!"

Our recommendation is not only to NOT buy, but also to delete the email and add the sender to your blocked list. Most email services now have an option to mark an email as spam and to block any further emails from that server. I encourage you to use these.

Graham Cluley adds that "The people that act upon emails aren't skilled investors, and don't realise that purchasing the shares is likely to reap no reward, benefiting only the spammers, while creating a financial rollercoaster for the organisation in question."

As I say, let the buyer beware and don't lose your shirt on a scam!

Randy

My Favorites
Mood:  mischievious
Topic: Make Money with Your Blog
My mom today asked me what I wanted for my birthday, so I decided to put up some banners.

These are some banners for my favorite stores:





The hotter the better!



They also have a nice men's apparel section.


These are some examples of the many many offerings at ShareASale. Most offer pretty decent percentages on your delivery of customers to them.

Sites with a theme work best to make money with your blog. What I've found works well is having a page on the blog (other than the main page) with product links related to your blog's theme, broken up by category.

I haven't had a lot of luck with banners, probably because most people don't want to have to hunt for an item that appeals to them, unless they're in a holiday shopping mode.

The only problem I've experienced with the merchants who participate in ShareASale is the few that occasionally go "Temporarily Offline" or have "Low Funds." Make sure that you don't post any of those links.
