Scams of all kinds live and thrive online. Everyone thinks the definition of a scam has to do with money. Yet those of us who've made ourselves immune to this kind of scam are often getting scammed in a host of other ways. We don't count them because it never comes in the form of a check. It can't be held in a checking or savings account. The others are the ones that scam us out of our time. The website may be about ebooks that will teach you to become wealthy. Another may say if you learn their ways of selling online you can start earning a paycheck quickly. There are even scams out there that will ask you to jeopardize your membership in other websites. There are others that will mess up your blog to stop you from reporting the facts of these websites to your audience!
There are people out there who say their way is easy and not a scam, but when you spend a week learning how they do it only to find out what you were learning will never work for you, I consider these scams as well. For instance; find something on ebay that was listed in the wrong area. Buy it cheap because no one found it and resell it correctly for a profit. You can also create one good website a week for a year. Another spends your reputation by paying you to post ads on craigslist and paying you for them. Most people don't recall all the terms and conditions in craigslist and find out the hard way. You can't report them because you accepted payment from them and posted these ads on craigslist. But I can because I didn't engage in this practice!
