Interesting piece by Todd. It is gratifying to hear it acknowledged that fraud occurs in MLM's when doing business over the internet. Great segment and it makes you wonder who you can trust and the different safety measures that can and are already put in place. Interesting to hear the different types of fraud going on; and it is an EYE opener, really it is.
Thanks for the great info
Yes Fraud awareness is so important especially for the newbie affiliate marketers
