If you send me a few laptops I'll wire $50,000 to your account
tomorrow..."
By now we're all familiar with online scams that appeal to our
emotions or a path to get rich with a "small" investment. What if
Instead of ignoring or trolling scammers, there was a more
wholesome way of dealing with these types of emails?
In this episode, Joe and I talk with Ben Taylor, the man behind
the Youtube channel Pleasant Green, who's mission is to
identify scams and find ways to help online scammers financially
without having to rely on these schemes.
We'll cover what types of scams exist with online businesses, how
Ben dealt with these, and how he saw that was a genuine
deeper need behind these scams so he could turn these encounters
into positive opportunities.
We'll also talk about a solid business that's for sale with
lots of diversification in traffic and revenue sources that makes
just under $50k in monthly net profit and suits people looking
for a really profitable online business without the need to grow
one from scratch.
