Currently, the main evil ways people make money off the Internet (ie. take money from innocent you & me!) are:
Phishing - impersonating bank web sites in order to steal people's banking details.
Selling pharmaceuticals online - Viagra, of course; selling prescription drugs to people who don't have a prescription.
Selling cameras etc online - they take your money by Western Union, you never see the goods.
High yield investment programs - The pyramid or Ponzi scheme gone online, effectively
Getting people to write content for them unpaid, off which they get Google Ads income - this may in fact be perfectly legal, depending on how it's done. Free bandwidth offers to sell internet porn was the best evil way to make money 10 years ago, but that only nets about $10 at a time Phishing is much more profitable now, and although it's illegal it seems phishers don't get caught. Gentle hint: if you do decide to go into internet pron, you'll earn more from pics of naked people than naked peaches!
