WOT and internet fraud
lör 19 jul 2008 21.21.39 av strmcliffae46I'm trying out wot for the first time to see how I like it. So far I like the idea of this being able to help me watch out for bad web sites, scammers, spammers, and ID theft. you've got to be so careful these days especially when you have kids, and you don't know whether you're gonna hit on a bad site by accident. this will definitely help.
