| Re: Google $ scams: ABC's Good Morning America highlights malicious trend | DBHinz | 9/15/09 10:48 PM | I know a solution! Google could create some sort of website filter that layers on top of a word or phrase that might be considered a scam or ripoff and then like a banner ad, have a safety message or something. Be creative! Be nice! Don't scam people |
