-- and What You Can Do About It Scammers abound. You’ll find them in your community, on the Internet, and everywhere in between. A year ago, while researching technology specialists in the financial industry, I came across a website that seemed oddly familiar. It was a carbon copy of another site I had seen! Someone had stolen every page, every picture, the logo, and even a list of outsourcers from the first site. I notified the real owner of the site, who thanked me for alerting her to this theft.
