Internet Frauds

Alaya · Apr 28, 2008

Shall we talk about Internet Frauds.

That will help all the members who read this post. And also it is an interesting topic.

So, pls update what you know about Internet Frauds.

One thing I know is that Nigerian people are experts in this.

Ok we'll discuss about it.
____________________________________________________________________

One common method of fraud is that you get a mail saying that you have won XXXX $ amount of money and to confirm your wining asking for your details.

And if you reply to that e-mail with your phone number and other details, they'll call you.

And they pretend that there is a big procedure to release your money.

Likewise it goes for a week or two. Now you are dreaming for your millions.

Then they'll say that you have to pay legal & handling fees of $ 150-250 to them to get your cheque.

If you pay it or not, that'll be the end of story.
___________________________________________________________________

Likewise we'll discuss about those matters in this thread.

It's quite interesting & will improve your knowledge as well.

Another way is sending a web address by an e-mail, very similar to your bank's address.

They say the bank is doing maintenance in the server and to provide a better service you need to log on to the account through the link provided.

If you go to the link, you'll see exactly similar page like the bank's website. But it is not. When you enter your username and password the attacker obtains it and then sorry.com salli walata account eke thiyana...

Make sure you don't click on any link in an e-mail saying that it's from your bank.

Coz as a policy e-banking systems do not send e-mails asking verification. They just call you straightaway if there is a problem.

Same thing happens to google ad sense or sd words account holdersa as well.

Another one is work at home scams.

When you go to their site, they offer work at home jobs Ex: Online graphic desining jobs, Home-Based Liquidation business. etc.
When you choose one, you're promted to make a certain amount of payment to receive your '' Job order'' . they also offer few methods for payment, such as ''Internet safe pay method''
No matter what you chosse , t - most people fall for this internet safe pay method.
That 's the end. You will not recieve any job order.and you will never see your payed amount again.

yesterday my father-in law hotmail id been hijack and been sent this mail for all he's cont.....!!

I am deeply in sorrow hurrying writing you this message as I don't have comfortable time on the pc here, so I have to brief you my present situation which requires your urgent response.

I have a big problem now as an EMERGENCY just occurred, I had to travel to Spain for an Urgent Trip, unfortunately I was robbed, all my luggage got stolen at the hotel, which have kept me restless, as I have been left alone without nothing, I mean nothing, Am now owing the hotel here as well moreover the Hotel's telephone lines got disconnected by the robbers during the incident and they are trying to get it fixed up.

Please I need you to send me some money right now, so I can finish up here and return back home immediately. Immediately I get back,I will definitely reimburse it as I get home; it can be send through western union so I can get it fast first thing tomorrow here.

I want you to help me with some money now, so please locate a Western Union outlet now and send me 1,200 Euros

Am only access to my email at the library here, I am so confused right now and don’t know what to do as I am being trapped down here. My passport is with the Embassy here for renewal so not sure if i can use my name to collect it now, you should send it directly to the western union manager here and i will get it through her, I have already discussed with her, so that I will be able to get it immediately it's sent, but let me know if you can help me, so that I will meet with her first in the morning here for the information you will use in sending the money immediately.

Please let me hear from you so i can collect her full name and address where you will be sending me the money to today please. Its really urgent for me as I dont know what to do right now than to leave here soonest you send it to me, I will pay you back immediately i get back home.Please i will be waiting to hear from you soon..
Thank You So Much..
