How much is your identity worth to you? Thousands of people are giving their identities away for free! My name is Garry Conn, I am a guest blogger here on Affiliate Programs and Internet Scams. I have been doing some design, graphic and SEO work for Matt Jones and while doing the work I took a little time here to read some of the articles that Matt has published on the site.

The thing that scares me the most is the fact that there really and truly is a need for a site like this. It amazes me to discover how many Internet scams are out here in the World Wide Web and how many of these scams are targeting bloggers in the blogosphere.

The real alarming issue is the fact that many of these programs that Matt has revealed as being a scam, could actually be more than just a program that doesn’t really work and pay you money. The programs that are labeled as scams, I have to consider that these programs could have been designed with ill intentions in mind. Meaning, there is a reason why these programs don’t work. And that reason is primarily because they are designed “Not” to make you money online, but to “Collect” your personal information such as, “Your Full Name”, “Address”, “Phone Number” and “Social Security Number” or “Tax Identification Number”.

If you have participated in any affiliate program that turned out to be different from which it was advertised. You should quickly print copies of their TOS, delete your account and start monitoring your credit report to see if there are any changes in it. Unfortunately, if you participate in a scam and your identity information has been collected, it could take years to see something surface in your credit report.

Participating in affiliate programs can be fun and can make a lot of money online… Being successful in affiliate programs can bring you as well as your family tons of enjoyment! But, on the flip side… they can be dangerous. And every time you fill out an online form and submit your personal information, you put yourself as well as your family at risk.

I want to encourage everyone to have fun and be successful making money online by using the various hundreds of different affiliate programs available online; however, before you speed off to sign up and submit online forms that contain your personal information, do take a lot of time to research the program…

If you don’t feel like investing the time into researching a program, you can always check to see if the program has been researched here on Affiliate Programs and Internet Scams . If not, you can count on Matt to research it for you and then post his finding on the site.

Have fun making money online with affiliate programs, but remember that participating in scams can be very harmful for you as well as your family… so be careful and be smart!
