It is no secret that the web hosting industry is the target of a lot of fraudsters, scammers, spammers and various run-of-the-mill riffraff. The anonymity that the Internet can provide seems to be far too fertile of ground for those simply looking to take advantage. It would be fantastic if everyone was always honest and never attempted to proverbially hoodwink those that are either more honest or less naive than themselves. However, the world we live in is one in which many things simply cannot, and should not, be taken at face value. Fortunately, the Internet is also an excellent tool for exposing various scams and raising awareness such that less people are prone to being taken advantage of; the pyramid schemes that Grandma fell for (it’s true, she did; ask her about it) via snail-mail back in the day are simply not possible these days. So, schemes and scams have evolved. As HostGator has grown over the years, we have become a larger and larger target for scammers
