[...] January 21, 2008 · No Comments Veteran newsman Larry Kane apparently has his own website where he gives opinions on various happenings, sort of like every other blog out there in the world wide interwebs. He recently found out, by putting his feet to the pavement and digging up the truth, that the information superhighway may include some unscrupulous people spreading untruths: [...]

You forgot to mention the one circulating about John McCain, that he left Viet Nam before fellow prisoners could and that he and Kerry conspired to prevent any rescue efforts for POWs still allegedly held alive 40 years later.

The best way to do is to delete all emails offering something for free. Nobody ever offers you something for free without getting something in return.

Rumors spread on the internet is an old trick. Celebrities know what to do, they simply ignore the rumors and avoid feeding them by having their attorney fue the rumermonger.

I keep my dealings with domestic people and ignore the foreign offerings. You can easily be scammed here in the good old USA by your fellow Americans! Never trust anything anyone says to you and if they send you written correspondence to sign, never sign it unless your attorney has reviewed it. The few dollars spent on an attorney review can save you a lifetime of grief.

I don’t know Jersey Joe? That story sounds like urban legend to me. Here is the only way to truly beat every scam before it beats you. Just send $19.95 and self addressed stamped envelope, and I will let you in on the secret.

Larry, an elderly woman in NJ recenlty committed suicide over the fact that she was lured into a Jamaica based lottery scam…they told her she won millions and needed $18,000 sent in order to start the paperwork…this went on until she lost nearly $250,000. And just to show you how brazen these guys are, the local police detective , in Monroe, NJ, actually talked on the phone with the scammer when they called the woman. The police were laughed at an told they coouldn’t do anything about the scam! The old lady left a pile of scam lottery paperwork on her dining room table, then went out onto a jetty and jumped in, drowning herself.

Bottom Line: BEWARE of scams, no matter how luring…hit the DELETE button!

Larry;

You are so right. I spend a lot of time on the internet marketing my business and I learned years ago about all three points that Joe so masterfully made.

It really makes you wonder what you can believe these days. I find myself using snopes.com to check out the validity of a rumor 2-3 times a week. Enough already.

I do however believe that some emails offers that seem “too good to be true” sometimes are indeed very real. Of course those offers only come from people I know.
