LOSS OF MONEY-JUST A CLICK AWAY:

Nowadays we can see a lot of advertisements like the above title. Haven't you seen it? Oh! I am really sorry; I forgot to tell that they will be in a different form. Ok have you ever come across any advertisement like, “Congratulations, you have won a cash prize of 500 U.S. dollars click here to claim the prize”. If yes, this advertisement is the disguised way of telling that “you are going to loose your money, click here to do that”.

Please understand that, “There is no such thing as something for nothing”. You are probably dealing with a scam if

- You receive uninvited gifts or goods from any source

- An offer from overseas

- A request to pay a fee for more benefits.

- Pay a fee and collect the prize.

- A huge offer on purchase which is hard to believe.

Another way to loose money is through the purchase scams. Assume that your have a car that has to be sold. And you have published it in the Internet. What happens, is you get an immediate response for your advertisement. The only mistake that happens is that the buyer sends a cheque that is more than the value that you have quoted for your car. What you will do is you will call up the buyer and inform him that he had sent some extra money. And the buyer advises you to send back the extra amount when shipping the car. He also arranges an associate to organize the shipping and collect the car. You will do all the steps that have been told by the buyer. Finally you understand that the cheque is dishonored one. But it will be too late when you figure it out. You have already sent the surplus funds to the buyer and also your car. Atlast the shipper disappears with your money.
