With regards to virtual world scams, if you're solicited by companies that can repair your credit by responding to offers online, this is exactly the same as companies that might solicit you in the regular non-virtual world to repair your credit. I think you have to evaluate them on a case by case basis. Some organizations do provide legitimate credit services that can help you repair bad credit. Others do not, they are virtual world scams. The internet however makes it a little bit easier to pose as a business than does the brick and mortar world, referring to the world of actual stores and store fronts. There's a little bit more that's involved in setting up a place of business in the real world than there is sending out a mass mailing of emails proposing to be a business. So, in my experience it's much easier to be scammed online because the cost of entry for the person who is trying to scam you is much less.
