About Me – Jason Taft, Founder of Scam Busters USA
W
elcome to Scam Busters USA, where online scams meet their match.
My name is Jason Taft, and I know firsthand how frustrating — and costly — the search for legitimate online income can be. My journey began in 2011 when I set out to build a business from home. What I found instead was a digital minefield:
-
Scams and empty promises that preyed on beginners
-
High-ticket programs charging thousands for recycled information
-
Platforms that disappeared overnight, taking my hard-earned money with them
One of the worst offenders was a program called Plug-In Profit Site, which cost me thousands of dollars and left me feeling betrayed and defeated. After three years of failure, I nearly walked away from the online business world for good.
But deep down, I knew that honest opportunities existed. I just had to find them. I began to pray for an ethical, transparent, and beginner-friendly training platform that could truly help everyday people succeed online.
In January 2014, I discovered Wealthy Affiliate. At first, I was skeptical — after all, I’d been burned before. But something told me to give it a chance. That decision changed everything.
Rather than allowing these setbacks to defeat me, they ignited a strong desire for justice. I was driven by a need to shed light on these fraudulent activities and, if possible, seek a bit of revenge by preventing others from falling into the same traps. That fueled the creation of Scam Busters USA — a platform dedicated to exposing scams and guiding others toward genuine opportunities in the online business space.
Everything changed for me in 2014 when I finally experienced a legitimate online business that delivered on its promises. It was a turning point that restored my faith and solidified my mission: to help others bypass the years of heartache and wasted money I endured.
Scam Busters USA was born out of both passion and necessity — a way to protect the upcoming wave of digital entrepreneurs. Here, I combine firsthand experience with in-depth research to help you navigate the online business landscape safely. If there’s a suspicious scheme lurking out there, you’ll hear about it from me first.
At this point, you may be asking: What does “Scam Busters USA” actually mean?
The name is more than a catchy brand. It’s an acronym for Scam Busters Unified Scam Accountability — a personal commitment to not just expose scams, but hold them accountable.

Thank you for being part of the fight for a scam-free internet.
Thanks for sharing your story—it really resonated with me. I’ve also come across my fair share of shady “opportunities” online, especially when I was just starting out and didn’t know what to look for. It’s frustrating at first, but it definitely sharpens your instincts over time.
That’s why I really respect what you’re doing here. Having a resource that actively helps people spot scams and make smarter decisions is so valuable, especially in a space where trust can be hard to come by.
I’ve learned (the hard way) that doing proper research and leaning on voices with real experience—like yours—makes a world of difference. Thanks for turning your experience into something that helps others!
Thank you Tommy, this really means a lot to me that you understand the reasoning behind this site. I’m sorry to hear that you also have been the victim of an online scam. My dream is that someday we can rid the internet of these predator’s. I know they will always be coming up with new ways to make easy money without working for it but if my website can help people stay informed and get educated on what to look for, then this is worth every ounce of the time. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors.
