Internet Scam of the Month!
Author: matt6081 Jun
It was a close call this month as a lot of Internet scams were exposed, but after much deliberation, digestion and excretion the winner is…
Goldearning! Goldearning is a PTR e-mail site and my damming review of it sent it straight into the Internet Scams section. There has been no need to write a ‘Goldearning update’ but recently the ultimate proof of its scam heritage emerged.
The Goldearning site is down and they don’t exist anymore!
If there is a stronger sign a site is an Internet scam please let me know!
In a way I’m hoping that the other Internet scams sites stay up for longer than Goldearning did because it’s sudden death makes the review of it worthless. However, its death is pretty satisfying. I like to think my review had something to do with it!
Thanks Kelly Dutton (she didn’t leave a link) for alerting me to Goldearning’s passing. She theorised that perhaps they didn’t pay their hosting fees and so were shut down. Personally I think they had squeezed all the money they could out of their little scam and so decided to take their money and run.
Goldearning has gained have the most undesirable position of having its very own “Scam of the Month†link in the sidebar where the link will be to this post. Each month a new winner will be added. That will make Internet Scams quiver in their stolen boots.

Aawww! Poor Goldearning, I bet that they saw your review and went running as fast as they could from there tactics.
I think you will find them again in a few months with a new site same scheme going down.
Great review by the way…
John Chow sent me over here to check out your blog…its excellent. Have you thought about doing a weekly video clip, kind of a “worst of the week” review type Youtube vid?
Hey Jennifer, they got what they deserved…. I’m working on a ‘dunce hat’ logo to crown future Internet scam of the month winners with!
Thanks David, I have been considering dabbling in Youtube for a while now and it’s about time I took the plunge. Your ‘wost of the week video’ sounds like a very interesting idea, although it will have to wait until I am posting at least twice per day , which I will start doing in about 3 weeks - otherwise there won’t be enough Internet scams to choose from. I have several other ideas about using Youtube and making videos for this site that I can’t wait to get started on, video’s will be a fun change! Just gimme 1 month!
