If you have an offer you are unsure about, you may want to run it through one of these AI fraud scanners. Also, be sure to spread the word about these sites to friends and family who may be susceptible to online fraud.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"daves-1447189719\" class=\"daves-after-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7205184075006101\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7205184075006101\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"3225321574\" \ndata-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fraud and scams are rampant on today&#8217;s Internet.
