Fake news sites bring in the gullible

Reading the comments on the first page might actually lure some people into thinking it is real. Of course they are planted.

I suspect one of the posters on the second story is a scammer.

"Caleb" on October 21, 8.03pm has a clickable name.

I looked at this and thought it was bogus from the start. They do a good job though to lure people in. It is sure sad. I found something much better and legal to make money with. Feel free to check out my website or email me with any questions. This is exciting!!

The opening page of his website says it is optimised for Firefox, Chrome and Safari. To get it to work properly, IE and Opera users need to download a new browser (via a link on the page!), install Flash Player (guess what - via a link on the page!) and enter the site through your new browser.

Thanks but no thanks - the only reason I can see for a website which gives no clue to its business, base, ownership or origins to offer links is to add some sort of nasty in the download.

Just my two penn'orth, but I'm guessing Tacit would know how to check if I'm right.

Google has now officially released their new "work from home" system out to the public. There will be thousand of spots available that are expected to go very soon in the next few days.

Yeah, right! I think I remember this being on the news the other day...or was it on one of those SPAM emails...maybe a letter addressed to "Occupant"...oh, yeah, I know, it was  few nights ago, when I couldn't sleep and turned on the TV! There are some really great show on real early in the morning! And many of them don't even have commercials!

Actually, it's worse than just luring people in, thinking they'll make money - in fact, they'll find their credit cards charged to the tune of $80/mo.

Nasty, nasty stuff in a time when so many people are desperate for employment.

Caleb's link has now been removed, Neil - clearly the responses are being monitored.
