Outdated Sites - Fronts for Legitate Businesses?

Filed under: Internet Schemes and Scams — site admin @ 10:04 pm

Okay, I’ll admit, I haven’t been completely on top of keeping the content fresh here. I have a number of other things that I do, that keep me pretty busy, including a day job and 2 part time programming jobs. Nonetheless, at least I’m not trying to sell you something from a site that has its latest content dated back to 2004!!!

I just received a spam email today, sent on behalf of a company trying to get you in as a travel agent. I bet you have to pay for their training. Nonetheless, the site’s copyright listing was 2004. Why wouldn’t someone change that just to make things look more current? I suppose that in itself would be a lie, if nothing else got changed, but to be a viable online business, that’s worthy of the trust of those who visit the site, your business should show that its growing and alive - not just some stale site that may survive for the sole purpose of running an affiliate program.

Be leary of sites that advertise their services , yet don’t keep their copyright dates and content fresh. Besides, maybe the pilot is asleep at the wheel - you might sign up and never get an answer or recieve a product you’ve tried to buy. Beware.
