How To Weed Out “online Business Opportunity” Scams
It’s unfortunate that the Internet, which seems to be the source of endless opportunity, is also the source of an even double (or triple) number of scams. Why? It’s much easier to formulate a scam that is “supposed” to give you some amazing benefit, but ends up stripping people of money and in fact giving the victim the complete opposite—nothing, than it is to make a good product that can really benefit a multitude of people.

Privatisation – The last refuge of a spendthrift?
The Government’s aim to raise £16 billion through such sales seems optimistic, unless there are plans to sell large stakes in either RBS or Lloyds. Given the £220 billion gilt issuance programme for this year - funded mainly by the money-printing Quantitative Easing policy - even £16 billion is a comparatively modest sum. Around £11 billion is expected from Local Authority sales: the remainder is targeted from business disposals. Various candidates have been suggested. [more...]
