No Such Thing as Free or Easy Money

By , About.com Guide   February 24, 2010

Follow me on:

I hate to beat a dead horse, but as I've stated many times on this blog and in various articles, small businesses across the U.S. are being wiped out with the help of gullible scam victims. Every time a scam victim wires money as part of one of these financial agent job scams, they're participating in a criminal money laundering scheme that is draining the bank accounts of small business owners. There is no such thing as free or easy money. If a job offer sounds too good to be true, it is - because it is someone else's nightmare you will be dealing.

For a personal hands-on report with a business owner forced into bankruptcy and one of the scam victims that unwittingly aided the theft, check out Brian Krebs' article: N.Y. Firm Faces Bankruptcy from $164,000 E-Banking Loss.
