Job Opportunities Are Abundant on the Internet

Top Five Job Opportunities brought to us by Yahoo via PCWorld.com:

  1. Auction Fraud
  2. Phishing Scams
  3. Nigerian 419 Letter
  4. Postal Forwarding/Reshipping Scam
  5. "Congratulations, You've Won an Xbox (news - web sites) (IPod, plasma TV, etc.)"
Dan Tynan has elegantly outlined each of these job opportunities with The setup, What actually happens, The risk, and The question you've gotta ask yourself.
