    This is a question parents need to ask, either directly or indirectly of their children.  It is a question which if asked timely enough, saves money and, of course, time.

    There are women who stay in a bad marriage until either the husband kills them, the husband dies, or they die first, or the husband leaves them.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Flagged Items on Hubpages; open to Plagiarism 7 years, 7 months ago

    This article grows out of a discussion I was having elsewhere about what happens when you write for Hubpages and your article is ‘non-featured’.

    In many cases you will write, post, the item would be published, […]

    • WOW! I’ve heard various complaints about HUBPages but this is my first time ever hearing this one. That’s a very sinister and devious trick. I find it hard to believe hopping HUBBERs would do that.

      I know what “flagging” is for but I rarely use the feature. In fact, I can’t think of when I’ve ever used the feature unless it was to flag a comment that looked like spam or was offensive. As for published content by fellow writers and bloggers? I would have to think long and hard before I click on a flag.

      I am extremely cautious about flagging a person’s content … that is to say their “hard work”. Especially flagging it so that I could steal it!

      Of course, it should be easy to track the tricksters and expose them. Don’t you think?

      At any rate, this is a matter HP management and staff should review thoroughly. Do you know if it has been reported to them? I should think they would want to examine and put a stop to it. It gives the entire site a bad reputation for allowing unethical behavior.

    If you don’t know about the Jamaican Lottery Scam, these are the basics.

    Part One

    A phone call is received by someone in the United States.   The caller says, (basically)  “Is this Mrs. [Name]?”

    “Yes…”

    “Of [ […]

    • As long as they can fool people,they will thrive in their scamming activities! No one should believe such gimmicks!

      • When the Scam started, we felt that; “Hey America! Don’t blame us cause you have dumb people!”

        But America didn’t feel like that. So we were punished. But I’m sure it is still going on.

Most of the sites today does have no matter, but they are earning something for engaging people on their sites for longer time… Google is paying for that reason.. Moderators are in turn passing the portion of their earnings to their most valued members for their contributions

    • It is true, and many people especially young ones do not know the risks involved in plastering facebook with their photos! They are easy targets for scammers, etc.

      I do not accept friendships from people I do not know, so FB should stop such things as “people you might know!”

      • I totally agree with you. Anyone who clicks on these users has no idea who they are. I know my friends, but who is this? I could use any photo as myself… so do they.
