Abstract: | A wave of consumer sites helps users spot fraud and find the best buys. From corporate giants to one-employee garage start-ups, the allure of doing business on Internet - with its lack of rules and regulations that rope business in red tape - has been great. But the danger of unrestricted freedom is the potential for abuse. Many a snake-oil salesman is already on the Net with pyramid schemes, low-quality products, and other types of fraud, claims the author. |
