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

by rdubrey . Updated 18 years, 3 months 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…
