Internet Marketing Law Products

Can someone be arrested for an internet scam?
The other day, one of our friends almost got arrested for trying to cash a check they received from another person and they were to wire the money to a third party in another country and then keep a certain percentage as commission.
Then I read in the news about someone who did get arrested for this.
Now I am wondering as far as participating in online marketing programs and earning commisions from those (not illegal products), is that too against the law?
I am actually asking if selling legal products on the internet is legal and someone has sponsored you and then you sponsor the next person. I wonder if that is legal.
If the companies running the programs are legitimate, then everything is perfectly legal. Many companies are running affiliate programs offering commissions for referrals like Commission Junction, ClickBank.. etc. It’s all perfectly legal.
Of course there some illegal scams. If you join without knowing maybe they will let you off the hook.
Better be careful before joining. It’s very easy to spot an illegal scam nowadays. Just get on the internet and find out on sites like Yahoo! Answers. ![]()
By the way, you probably have received those emails saying that you have won Lottery of a few million dollars, or someone has passed away with some fortune in the bank and the bank officer is able to transfer the money into your account… etc. Those are scams. A friend of mine actually got swindled of over $10,000 by responding!
Beware!!!

The 11 Immutable Laws of Internet Branding $0.97 To most observers, the Internet is too new a medium to draw any firm conclusions about how to use it for business.

It states that a Web site can be a business or a medium for information, but not both. Therefore, compan… |
