I'm not sure I understand what your asking. You want us to look at your web site?

Send me an email to my spam mail account to evilfantasy69 at yahoo.com

It's a good site. I think they are commercially driven though. They would rather sell a product then anything else. http://www.fraudwatchinternational.com/

Here are a few more, free...

Fraud resourcesLook through my post HERE. There is a ton of information about web safety.

New scam and Virus email . There seem to be a new way of sending this one . They don't tell you that you won anything . All they say is message from fedex . The only problem with this one is not everyone is getting it . I have some things comming from fedex so like the dummy I am I open it and all you get is a blank white page . There is not even a header of where is came from. Click it off and then it happens you get BSOD . Turn computer back on and see error message . Your computer is recovering from an error. Checked to see what the error was and nothing showed.
Had to play with computer for a while before I would even think of going on line . Every scan I ran show nothing , But when I saw the blank white page I unhooked my Internet cable to pervent anything from downloading. I know that , that would not of made the error for I have done it in the past with no problems.
Just felt I let everyone know before they get it.

For all who are in the USA there starting to send that scam out again Important Message IRS . If you get one best thing to do is use the landline (phone) and give them a call. Look in Yellow pages for phone number don't use one in email.

Well don"t know how much longer I will be allowed to come to the forum. My ISP has a problem with me reporting scams They think I should just delete them and not report them. So If that is a problem I will have to look for a new ISP . I don't like scams and never will . I guess this is one of those new privacy policy you know protect the wrong who are doing things wrong and the ones who do it right pull them from the web.
Oh will that is the way things go now a day .You try to help by reporting problems and get blamed for doing it. Good thing I made a copy of all the address I send the reports to .It would be a pain in the ------- to replace 250 + address Let you know what happens.

Anyone out there need a check for $4995.00 Most of us right . Well that is what I got in the mail. now before anyone starts wishing they would of got it let me say it is a scam.
The check is real. But if you cash it you need to pay it back to the bank. This did not come from a bank it came from a survey company.
Here is how it works .
They send you a real check and tell you that you need to wire $4440.00 back plus $300.00 plus 150.00 for a total of 4890.00 and you get to keep 150.00 the only problem is the money never get back to the person you are told to send it to . So you end up with a bill of 4890.00 puls the 150.00 .
When I saw it I knew there was a scam going on for the way they did there spelling in the letter many letter missing. Address say it comes from (example) Ohio when it came from Mississippi.
The ones behind this scam are making money for the money they send to you is not out of there account . So they are not going to lose anything .
If you get one please report it and do not cash the check.

Thanks . I know one one of these site and I know one has some problems . If you enter it you will end up with more problems then you could ever wont. I found it years ago and it took about a year an a half to remove all the malware and spyware from my computer. Because of that I have blockers setup that if I try to go to a site like it one of them named above it is blocked from opening.
