Scam Artists Hit Twitter

Wise comment, Muser

Fast and accurate warnings must be available. Because fraud is a crime, i propose making it mandatory for that kind of ad to include every detail of the transaction. After the second conviction of fraud, the company should lose its business license with no renewal under re-organization or a new name. White Collar crime like this is not punished enough.

We don't need laws for tweeters

We need laws that simply allow periodic "subscription" charges on credit cards to be refuted and cancelled at any time by anyone---by calling the card company, not the "seller".
