Google does not seem to know anything about "webbizhelper", although I was able to find a tad more, by searching on the "DeeRewards" that is mentioned on the bottom of the page. There is another "DeeRewards" site at webbizmate.com which is registered to another Ukrainian, and another identically-designed site at www.free-cash.com.ru .... Here is a thread discussing the scam-nature of DeeRewards, although I could not discover any action taken against them -- just warnings not to join: http://www.dealexpert.net/thread46983.html and reference to an MSNBC article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3660523/ IIRC, there was an FTC-submission link for potential scams posted to this list a while back... anyone? ciao and HTH, Ben Barrett On Wed, 12 May 2004 08:42:33 -0700 (PDT) Carter Ames <carter@private> wrote: | I got this in my email box this morning and would like | some help reporting it.
