8 ways to protect against scams on the Internet

The Internet quickly won and confidently holds the first place among tools for scammers and all sorts of rascals.

As in every business, the main thing in this business is the genius of the idea and the reach of the audience. There is a percentage of successful operations. The more their total number, so, accordingly, there are more chances for successful, and hence, profitable operations. If fraud is considered a kind of business, then this rule also applies to it. And where can I steal more - climbing into my pocket in a bus full of dozens of people, or in the teeming with hundreds of millions of Internet users? The answer is obvious. Even himself, you can say the founder and "genius" of pyramidal fraud, Mr. Mavrodi said that now on the Internet more opportunities for his offspring.

Wherever it comes to money, and even big ones, a person's emotions begin to prevail over the mind. Greed and greed come first. This is the reason for fraud throughout the history of human development. This was the genius of the Mavrodievsky pyramid, which promised to make everyone instantly rich, and which attracted so many people.

We will not consider such crimes as, for example, one type of phishing - theft of data from credit cards. In such cases, we are not talking about the recognition of fraud, but rather about the need to observe some security measures on the Internet, for example, when shopping in online stores. Here much depends on the actions of third parties, such as banks or Internet providers. We will talk about cases where only we are solely responsible for success or failure in an attempt to deceive us.

Before you start earning on the Internet, until greed finally had time to defeat the mind, we need to have time to recognize the scammers thanks to simple and simple advice.

1. You need to see in the root.

This advice, probably, is the main one, and if it is correctly applied, then it is only possible for them to manage one. In any project, before you enter it, you need to understand where the profit comes from. If the site promises a huge income, but not a word does not mention the sources of profit - this is definitely a pyramid and a deception. And this in turn means that here only one source of profit is your investment. And they will try to pull out of you in all possible ways and tricks. There are a lot of such sites. Let's take a look at some of them:

As you can see, the pyramids on the Internet are a lot. And we touched on only some of them. All of them are physically impossible to consider. But here, the main thing is to recognize the pyramid by the source of income, which is in your pocket. For this reason, let's consider any pyramid site as a potential scam site. On the pyramid it is possible to earn only one way - to become a fraudster yourself and start deceiving others.

2. In the morning - money, in the evening - chairs.

This advice in some way will be a continuation of the previous one. It is necessary to pay attention to the following method, which is also used in pyramids. If, by offering any type of earnings, you are trying to take money ahead - this is a fraud. As a rule, there are a lot of prepositions:

That is, pay a little first to us, and then on our beautiful site still earn a lot more. If it is a serious job or a real income, it makes no sense to take money from a person for this. After all, he will make a profit with his work. In this situation, money can only be paid to a trusted company that is engaged in finding work and recruiting staff. And then, as a rule, such companies take a percentage from the employer, rather than an advance payment from the employee.

3. Do not go there, do not know where, and take it, it's unknown what.

The third council is also closely related to the two previous ones. Again, on a beautiful banner "Want to earn quickly a million, you - here" you find yourself on an equally beautiful site. But he's kind of weird. Just one long page, flashing with different colors, fonts and pictures. There are a lot of ads, positive comments, pictures with money, graphics, video with happy participants, lots of promises of gold mountains, but not a word about what exactly needs to be done. And at the very bottom of the site, after a half-hour reading, you see one single button that suggests entering or joining.

If you do not immediately want to say what you need to do to make money, then you probably will not want to do it, and consequently, you are trying to deceive. The worst that you are facing is the loss of time to read and view all this senseless material. There are a lot of sites of this type, and they were taken just as an example of throwing dust into the eyes. And the advice itself should be used not only in relation to them, but also wherever it fits, ie ads, advertising, calls, conversations, etc.

4. Tell me who your bank is, and I'll tell you who you are.

Any scammers want you to take away not just money, but real money. But this is the Internet. You can not put a coin in it. And here payment systems are called to help, which can just put this very coin in and out, and take it out of the Internet. It is worth paying attention to the rating of these very payment systems. Do not participate in projects that do not support and do not use leading and reliable payment systems. For example, in projects such as game farms, which are described above, the WebMoney system is almost never used. Instead, they use Payeer, a payment system that does not request almost any information for registration, except for e-mail, which tells a lot about its reliability.

On the other hand, the same WebMoney has a database of reviews and ratings of its customers. And if the account holder of the wallet, with which you want to deal, is full of red negative reviews on the site of the payment system, it is better not to have this business with him.

5. The same cheese and everything in the same mousetrap.

Let us repeat the truth that has already been rubbed to holes, which characterizes, probably, the greatest number of deceptions. Do not join projects that promise a lot of money for nothing, just like that. Everyone always wants a freebie. And always this will be used by scammers.

The advice is simple and straightforward, and it is not worthwhile to dwell on it for long. Just give an example of the comicalness of the statement that scammers use. For example, the forum offers some one-hundred-percent win-win strategy on some game site or casino (look for a method of seven red fallouts in a row on a roulette). It is clear that this strategy is a trap. But that's the comic thing. When asked why this super profitable strategy is put on the Internet, a person responds that in this way he has earned so much that he has almost reached nirvana, and now the generosity of him is the key, and he does not feel sorry for anyone. Such super generosity should immediately suggest that you are trying to deceive, though with the help of such naive statements.

6. Money is a very complex subject, they seem to exist, but they seem to be gone.

Again, everything is extremely simple. If you receive additional conditions to receive earned money, you are deceived. To illustrate this advice, all the same gaming sites-farms are the best suited. When a player wants to withdraw his first, he believes, honestly earned money, he is told that for this he does not have enough points, which he can get after attracting other players to the project.

Some of these sites specifically focus on the fact that they work without payment points. But then they have other conditions. For example, that only those who introduced at least some amount, as a rule, much larger than the withdrawal amount of money, can withdraw money. The problem is only one. Often, the participant learns about additional conditions for earning a earned one only when he tries to get his blood first, that is, when he has already spent some time, resources and resources. Here is one piece of advice - not to deal with such projects at all.

7. With words as light as air, we pierce the path to people.

Some projects are attracted by the fact that they say that the number of seats is limited, or they can only enter until a certain date. And here you are, so unique, and you are so fortunate that you simply do not have the right to miss your chance to join. If the project is really so unique and closed, then all friends, relatives and acquaintances of the owner will be in it, and not you - an outside user. Do not believe the ostentatious attractiveness and ostentatious importance of the project.

8. From the mud to the princes.

Strangely enough, but if a person introduced himself and begins to tell his biography, often it is a swindler under an assumed name and, accordingly, a fictional biography. Very often you can find such biography sites. A man writes his name, how old he is, how poor and unhappy he was, and then suddenly everything changed. Next come his photo on Mercedes and yachts.

Again, what does his Mercedes have to do with earning money? And the most direct. He wants to outshine our minds with our feelings. A person who is not guided by common sense, it is very easy to get around a finger.
