Rant of the Day!! – Friggin Scammers Everywhere !!!

by rdubrey . Updated 18 years ago

Does it Seem like scammers are “everywhere” now on the web? It
sure seems like things out there have deteriorated 100 fold in the last
couple of years. I have been doing business on the web since you
first could start doing business on the web through PayPal, Ebay,
Craigslist, etc etc…

Narrowly avoided a payment scrape with PayPal where money was
there on minute and reversed the next… constant fake posts on
craigslist, ridiculous email scams…. I mean every time I turn my
system on lately I am seeing evidence of low lifes.

Is it just me or have things gotten pretty trashy out there.

I guess my point is I am all for a tiered identity based internet top
level domain where business is transacted. I like being anonymous
but I surely would be all for a medium where people are completely
vetted as much as possible in order to have access there. Like a .biz
domain where you can’t do anything unless you are indentified
somehow.

I wonder if that is something that can be accomplished…. Wondering
what the general consensus is out there on this…
