I thought it was time to update that original list, but I felt it was important to keep all of the original data intact to show just how many scams were going at once. So what has become of all those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because my original teeth whitening scam list is nearly a year old, I decided it&#8217;s time to start a fresh list of dubious teeth whitening sites still advertising in 2010. The sad thing is that little has changed in a year. These ads are still everywhere. We still see the &#8220;fake blog&#8221; layout, though some [...]]]></description>

They come in all shapes, sizes, and legitimacy. Some are genuinely hard-working sports gurus (I know several personally), while others are complete cons bent on lining their pockets (and I know several of those personally, too!). I won&#8217;t name names of anyone I know. Sorry.

But I recently did some research [...]]]></description>

I frequent most of the major news sites. And despite my many months offline, as 2009 comes to a close, I see the same old tired ads and obvious rip-off affiliate sites out there.
Acai, teeth whitening, weight loss&#8230; Still there a year later, which [...]]]></description>

Last week they announced their &#8220;Big Relief Price Cut&#8221; to all shoppers. They advertised some examples of markdowns, showing significant savings.
