Always delighted to see yet another piss weak online scam.

So, I’ve collected some thoughts on how to deliver the best scam, based on what already seems to work.

1. No matter how much of a scam it obviously is, mention the fact that it DEFINITELY ISN'T A SCAM. Try something like “We’re all fed up of those online scams, right? Well, this is different (i.e. not a scam)”

2. Get lots of domain name to link to the same page. The more implausible the better:
Relaxinghomejobs.com
Solveallyourproblems.org
Whybothergettinguptousethetoilet.bag

3. Make your site look like a real online newspaper: “The Daily Real News” for example with a headline under the ‘finance’ section: “Idiots make money for free by sitting around.” Something along those lines. Have other tabs like: international, politics, economy, lifestyle. But make it so that when your visitor clicks on them NOTHING HAPPENS. Wouldn’t want to distract their attention now, would we?

4. Use poor quality jpegs from institutions such as google, news week, NBC etc so that your ‘as featured on’ reassurance section looks like you’ve just got them straight off the internet by right clicking ‘save image as’ or by chopping up a screenshot, without any legitimate dealings with those people.

5. Never say WHY you are advertising the fact that you have made loads of money. “I made loads of money. You could too.” Why would you set up a website about this? Why would you go to that bother and then produce a really cheap, underfunded, horrible website? Just gloss over it.

6. Use testimonials. We all love real, human stories about people like us. Tell us about John Cooper and his debts, and how suddenly the money came pouring in. Show us a bank statement. Go on. It’s what normal people would do. Whip out a bank statement. I’m rich. Look. Even better, get a photo which is featured on another scam site and then just give them a completely different name for inexplicable reasons.

7. Looking for a point of entry? Keep getting rebuffed by spam filters? Use pop ups. We all love pop ups. Try and get in between viagra and horny girls in your area. That's prime retail.

Good luck!
