I previously ‘prophesised’ that Fummo would turn out to be an Internet scam, and you know what; I was right. (Don’t look so surprised!). Wyatt, who has actually dedicated his new site to spread the word about ‘FakeFummo’, commented alerting me to what has happened to Fummo since I wrote about them.

When I started this update the main Fummo homepage was still up and running. You could still sign up, create an account and even take offers. I.e. you can still make money for Fummo. However, the forum, which was full of disgruntled members had already closed down and the message that they will be back on the 25th of May was clearly not true. The site had been plastered with Bidvertiser ads, presumably a last ditch attempt by the owners to milk the site for all it’s worth (not much!).

As if my very writing itself had killed Fummo, the Fummo site suddenly went down. Wyatt wrote that Fummo was put up for sale, which may explain the site going down like this because perhaps they fooled someone into buying it.

Conclusion
Fummo has reinforced its position in the Internet scams section. It looks like they have finally met their grizzly end and I hope they stay that way!

Digg it, WTF? or Stumble it!
