Is it?

Is everything we see, hear, read, or listen to on the internet a big fat scam?

Probably not everything…

Here are a few stories making their rounds on the internet this week that seem to illustrate the fact that a lot of things on the internet are scammish and fraudy.

Bonus BS

1) Podcasters Are Buying Millions of Listeners Through Mobile-Game Ads

2) Kim Kardashian pays $1.26m over crypto 'pump and dump'

3) A death stare and a $269,000 bet: Why this could be the ‘biggest scandal’ in poker history

4) Georgia man who laundered millions from romance scams, Business Email Compromises, and other online fraud receives 25-year sentence

5) The biggest crypto scams of 2022 (so far) And there's still a few months left for some big scams this year!

6) Top 5 scams in the wake of Hurricane Ian

The above stories are negative and make us feel bad. Like reading Facebook.

But These links are positive and make you feel good - Like TikTok.

Let me know in the comments if you think I should publish more of these Big Fat Scam article round ups.

Which story really made you angry?

I was particularity turned off by the large podcasting companies fraudulently fabricating listener analytics. “i Heart Radio” should be ashamed…

I doubt Kim K deliberately knew she was instagramming a fraudulent product. She is a paid influencer. That’s what she does. BTW - she earned $250,000 for the crypto instagram post. Some say that a million dollar fine to a billionaire is nothing but pocket change, but I wouldn’t know. 😀 She should now know that MOST of crypto is just a scam:

crypt-oh-sh*t
