There are several kinds of scam in the internet world that you have to learn so that you will not become a victim. The purpose of this scam is also varied, ranging from money matters to the most cruel is the purpose of "Slander".
This time I will discuss the 7 kinds of scam or fraud is most often done on the internet, and you may also have become a victim of them or almost. The victim was not a fool, but normal people who want more.
1 Phishing
Phishing is the act of stealing the data yourself / your personal data, ranging from full name, date of birth, mother's birth name, your address to your ID number. The purpose of this phishing attack is to access your bank account, or to convey a message that is slanderous using the victim's identity.
Phishing is usually always side by side with SPAM, the spammer sense to attack thousands to millions of potential victims by e-mail or phone call claiming to be employees of insurance, bank officers, and those who think the victim has the right to ask for all the data yourself.
Some examples of these include Phishing Phishing Facebook ID, Account PayPal, Liberty Reserve, Ebay.
The way to prevent that you do not become a victim of phishing as follows:
- Be wary of strange emails, when emails are calling you to visit a link that contains a login, do not think long, close immediately.
- Do not use passwords general, in the sense of all your online accounts using a password or a password to use easy words (your name, your birth date, your child's name)
- If you want to log in to any site such as PayPal, Ebay, Facebook, you should immediately visit their website by typing the URL in the web browser and not through third parties, such as E-Mail, via Chat, etc..
2 EBAY SCAM
Ebay scam trying to sell the goods at a price far below the market so that people interested in buying without thinking. Usually the goods sold has a price above $ 1,000 as Plasma TVs, LCD, Spare Parts and Cars and others.
After the victim made the transaction and payment process has been completed, usually delivered goods are counterfeit goods or goods damaged or worse, do not send anything.
How to avoid EBAY SCAM:
- Try to compare the price of goods you want to buy a variety of credible sources, if the price difference is too obvious direct should be avoided
- Check the legality of the documents and see testimonials
- Try to always call them, if it does not have a direct phone contact just ignore
But remember, there are few things more dangerous, which is a spammer who managed to get an account that is trusted EBAY (Powerseller). If you want to trade in large numbers should be face to face or his place of business.
3 Nigerian Letter
Most of these types of scams originating from Nigeria, so called as the Nigerian Letter. You may never get an e-mail that contains the call to assist in the laundering of money, where you will be involved and given a commission with extraordinary value, or an attorney who held property which has killed clientnya so confused family inheritance will fall into your hands.
The similarity of this type of scam is your obligation to pay advance tax amounting to a few percent of the value of what you'll get, when you pay taxes, they will disappear with your money.
Some things you should avoid:
- When getting E-Mail the contents on such things as above, should be deleted immediately without follow-up.
- Where to find the existence of words such as Bank of Africa, African Development Bank, or anything related to the Bank from any country in Africa just deleted. As I am sure you do not have any transaction or deal with Africa.
- If you are asked to transfer a sum of money for any reason although it can be demonstrated with pictures and complete data, do not be fooled, this is just a hoax.
