From the Where2sing.com forum: A SPADE? SHOVEL? or maybe it's a HOE? – WHEN IS A SCAM NOT A SCAM:
Personally I have not used the word “scam” for a long time, nor have I been “scammed” for a while (spammed YES, scammed NO); like JAMES T ORR, I have been careful how and where I spend my Oxford Scholar.
Yes DAVID, not all commercial money making ventures are SCAMS.
To me, a financial scam is a commercial money making venture that is established to DECEIVE the consumer FROM THE VERY START – it is one where the consumer does not get what he/she thinks he/she is paying for.
That’s the difference between such deceits and say, (using DAVID’s example), our subscriptions to Where2Sing and other fair-dinkum commercial money making ventures. With the latter examples, we know exactly what we are buying, and we got exactly what we thought we will get – and we are happy with the result – we have a fair transaction, a fair exchange of a good service for our hard-earned moolah - we were NOT scammed.
