Most people are far more honest. I have never given a referral without knowing the person and what they can and can't do.

Sure, you can always find a website with someone shady on it. But that's always been the case.

Both of these views are consistent with each other. Most people are honest and issue few referrals. But the few people who are dishonest issue loads of referrals. Therefore, most of the referrals a company gets are from dishonest people.
