FBI Launches Investigation of 12DailyPro
Here's a copy of the FBI press release:
It's great to see the authorities investigating 12DailyPro, and hopefully it will lead to a lot more online autosurf ponzi scams getting shut down.
Not only are these kinds of scams devastating for the people who lose money in them, but they also have a serious negative impact on the reputation of other online earning opportunities. As I've shown since starting this blog, there are lots of ways to honestly and legally make money online. They're not 'Get Rich Quick' schemes. They're not even 'Get Rich Slow' schemes. They're about making a few extra bucks, and your ability to earn doesn't rely on somebody else losing out.
For some of the media coverage of the 12DailyPro scam, here are some links:
