The ol' bait-and-switch scam has got to be the oldest in the book. F2S, Homesdead, etc. all pulled it on millions of members. First, offer free hosting with lots of free extras...get the member committed on search engines...twiddle thumbs for 6 mo to 2 years...switch to pay. Many pay afraid to leave beacuse of a good ranking in search engines. Works like a charm ROTFLMAO
There's a fairly new scam on the horizon that's working well for email spammers. Come into free webspace forums like this, offer hosting with many extras, have sign-up via email (clue #1), and never open. Now, they have your email addy to sell to other email spam companys. ROTFLMAO
What will be the next?
