As you may already know, the internet is full of scams. It seems like there are people who make scamming others a full time job. Oh wait, there are. Yes, that’s right, there are people out there who live off scamming others. Just ask anyone who works for those really large auction and classifieds websites. I’m sure they will tell you all about it.
It’s really a shame. It’s a shame that good, hardworking website operators have to deal with this type of nonsense day in and day out. One can’t complain about it too much though. We just have to accept it as part of doing what we do.
With our websites, we are relentless at dealing with internet scammers. We hate them and we block them everywhere we can. You may have already seen our “Scam Alert” pages on our websites. Those pages have become so popular that other classified website owners have taken the liberty of using our text on their websites (which is not allowed).
A while back, we added the “Scam Alert” page to this website, our “Support Blog.” It’s been a central place to list all active scams. What’s new about this page is that it’s become alive. From here on out, we will be listing many live scams as we come across them.
What does this mean to you? Well, if you are a seller on WebLeeg, PetLeeg, CycleLeeg, BoatLeeg or AutoLeeg and receive an email from someone interested in your product, you can check out our scam alert page here:

to see if the email you received is listed as a scam. Even if you don’t find it, you should still be very cautious and do your homework before dealing with anyone on the internet. We will do our best at listing scams as we find them, but we can’t make any promises that we’ll list them all. This is simply a resource to help you make informed choices. The ultimate responsibility lies with you.
