Almost two years ago I wrote about “Work from Home Mum<\/a>” scams. Right now I see this type of scam mostly advertised via paid website ads. A year ago it was mostly advertised via spam sent from hacked Yahoo email accounts, which of course is totally criminal.<\/p>\n

The advertised websites still look very similar. A recent example is newsonlineweekly.com<\/a>. When I opened it, the headline read “EXPOSED: Shizuoka-shi Mum Makes $7,397\/Month From Home And You Won’t Believe How She Does It!” The internet provider I was accessing from was in Shizuoka, Japan. When I opened the same site from a webhoster based in Nuremberg, Germany, it came back as “EXPOSED: Nuremberg Mum Makes $7,397\/Month From Home And You Won’t Believe How She Does It!” Their server looks up what city your IP address is associated with and puts that into the headline.<\/p>\n

If you click on the link to sign up, it takes you to a site called “onlineincomesolution.com” where you’re asked for your name, email address and phone number. The small print mentions that you’re placing an order for “Acai Lipo” for \u00a399.97 and another \u00a399.97 for “Quick Detox” (the price was probably shown in UK Sterling because my browser is set for English (UK)).<\/p>\n

They are still using deceptive advertising to trick housewives and mothers into sending them money hoping to be able to support their families. They are targeting people for their scam who are out of work and short of money. How sick is that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
