Warning - Beware of Illegal Activities Online
fraud, illegal accounts, scams,

 VISIT WEBSITE (learn more)

It has come to my attention of the amount of fraud and illegal activities online these days. It appears that as the World economies begin to bite more of these activities are rearing their heads.

Here is a list of some of these activities and how to prevent them.

1. Payment Processors - You may have already received emails which seem legitimate from your payment processor telling you that you need to log into your account using the link provided to change your pin or password, to invest money into your account to earn more money or emails to that effect. DO NOT click on these links they are bogus sites and would cost you loses.

To eliminate some of these threats use a separate email for your payment processors from your everyday email. Change your payment processor password details to one with contains at least 8 digits which should include numbers, upper case letters, lower case letters and symbols.

2. Emails telling you that you have won a lottery and you need to send your details including your name, address, phone number and in some cases bank details. This is a scam do not fall for it.

3. Emails from people posing as young women telling you they have read your profile and are in love with you. Again a scam we usually call this a 416. The email could be from a social networking site which you are a member of. In other cases they are sent directly to your email box telling you they have a lot of money which they obtained when their father was killed in Africa and they need your help to withdraw it.
Here are some clues which you could look at. The email is from Africa with a uk extension so for example yahoo.co.uk.

4. Be aware of people calling themselves internet gurus and want to show you how easy it is to earn money online.

Best of luck and beware of the scammers.

There are other scams but once you get the hang of these ones you should find it easy to pick out the others.

Marian Gurowicz    350 day(s) ago
The bad guys like to attack the weakest link which is often the human. Systems can be strengthened to the point that it makes it very difficult for a hacker to break in. However, if they can get the human to disclose their credentials by tricking them, all the technology doesn't help. Great suggestions Dave on how to spot the scams.

All those scams, it´s a pity but unfortunately it´s part of life nowadays! The only thing to at least minimize its impact are blogs like this one! Well informed people are far less likely to convert themselves into victims. I think it must be a responsability of every "SPONSOR" to inform his/her downline about this!
 
Kathy Griffin   350 day(s) ago

Don Sabelhaus    363 day(s) ago
A great article Dave, if I get the schemes you mention, if it looks legit, I'll go and log-in to the account from my link and not one in an email. And if a young pretty chickie tells me she seen my picture and has fallen madly in love with me, I KNOW it's a scam LOL TB&L my friend
 
Erma Empower Taylor    363 day(s) ago
It does bite when someone scams you! This is really great information that you shared with us Dave thank you very much for all the tips. It will be shared.
 
Ron "Simplified" Myers   363 day(s) ago
Nice blog. I agree that you have to be very cautious because the people that do bad things know people are looking for any sign of hope. So they become easy prey. Rule of thumb, if any company you are affiliated with ever asks for information, ignore the message and go directly to their site. If it is your company the same message will appear. Thanks my friend for sharing.
 
Dennis Thorgesen   363 day(s) ago
It takes us on average one hour a day to delete scam emails. This in spite of the fact that we don't open every email account everyday. We recommend always log in to your payment processor directly. Never access them through emails, this reduces the possibility of a scam.
