Some of the things you should consider: where exactly did you see that ad bout easy money making opportunities (location)? If you received it via email or a poster on a wall somewhere then that is definitely a hoax. Now if you saw that offer in an employment newspaper, more often than not, that will be legitimate but of course you have to still double check to be sure.

How to Watch Out for Online Scams

Publix — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:29:25 +0000

Online scams have been around for as long as the internet itself, which is perhaps not surprising as fraud, theft and deception will always follow the crowds; indeed, as the internet`s popularity continues to grow, so too will the prevalence of online scams. In the early days of the internet, many surfers were unaware of the dangers posed by internet scams, which were often relatively unsophisticated. Although a number of the earliest internet scams aimed to exploit various security flaws in operating systems, dial-up connections and software in order to target the credit card details of online users, the majority of scams were less technologically advanced and employed more simple techniques to deprive people of their money; for example, through bogus charity websites. Today, internet scams have increased enormously in number and sophistication, so the ever-expanding online community ought to be aware of the most common types around today.

As the world continues to experience the lingering effects of the credit crunch and subsequent recession, money has become a key concern for all but a privileged minority. The most prevalent internet scams today, therefore, aim to steal or extort money from people whilst preying on their financial fragility. Among the most common of these scams include those that offer loans and debt consolidation. Whilst many fraudulent sites that purport to provide such services appear perfectly safe and genuine, they are actually set up to obtain the bank and credit card details of victims; in fact, other personal details may be stolen in the pursuit of identity theft crimes. Whenever taking out an online loan or using any kind of financial service (including shopping) over the internet, it is essential that the website in question is checked to ensure its authenticity. Typically, this can be achieved by running a whois (www.whois.net) search on the site to check who has registered the domain, whilst it is also worth checking that sensitive data is exchanged securely (look for a padlock icon) and a quick search on Google can reveal any mass complaints or warnings.

Lottery scams are also common online and invariably involve some apparently desperate and potentially wealthy young chap from Nigeria whose numbers have just come in. Unfortunately, said Nigerian requires a bank account in which to deposit the funds, so he is in search for a gracious host – who will be offered a percentage of the winnings. Similar scams involve a direct lottery win or missing inheritance – any story that allows the scammer to obtain a victim`s bank details. Another popular version of this scam involves members of dating sites who pretend to be people they are not in order to attract potential mates. After a relationship develops, the scammer will request money for one reason or another.

Other common internet scams include fake shopping websites, fake auctions, fake classified ads (or those that tempt potential buyers to an address, whereupon they are robbed) and spyware and viruses. Usually, the best way to report online scams is buy contacting the police, websites such as www.consumerfraudreporting.org and payment providers such as Paypal. Finally, work from home scams have also become popular during recent times; however, many genuine work from home opportunities exist so care must be taken to identify those that are fraudulent.

People are not really interested in purchasing stuffs all through out the year. Most of them have an inclination to buy different products during the holidays and festivals. If you have a good mailing list ready with you then try sending the emails to them and let them know about the latest products and good festival discounts if any. If this is a product which is required for official usage then the best time to send the emails is during the week. If this is something that needs to be discussed with the family and required for domestic usage then send promotional mails on Sundays and holidays to get best results.

There are many unknown craft assemblies which promise their members that the craft items that they make at home will be sold easily if they are sold through them. These assemblies will encourage you to prepare various products at home and once you manufacture them at a large scale they will collect those stuffs from your doorstep. This is for sure that they will sell these at a high price but you will not receive the amount you owe them. Most of them are scammers and will not pay the manufacturers. So beware of them and try to sell the products directly at the retail outlets.

This is another classic instance of money making scam which you can now find on the internet as well. Here they will tell you that you can earn at least $1 to $2 for each envelope you stuff. These envelopes will come to you with addresses already written on them. You will get at least 1000 envelopes every week which rounds up to a good earning per month. But these are all scams and when you send the money as the starting amount you will receive no envelopes to stuff and there is nobody to be blamed because the addresses are not really traceable.
