Scam: You got an email ,Claim your property!!!!!!!!

Labels:

Hmm I remember I received an email from someone who just want me to claim property . Although I was new to internet at that time but I have enough brain to guess that no one is going to give me property just because I have been randomly chosen. They basically send you a email quit well written and impressive so that they can intrigue you enough to click and send them your personal detail .

How they got my email address ?
Although I don't know exactly how they get your email but chances are limitless .Maybe the websites which claim that they won't leak your email actually leak your mail to their so called advertisesr . Or some email group leak your email address . As I told chances are limitless.

Why they do this to me I was so happy receiving this email ?
You may have already start dreaming of millions but they do this to every email they possess .They reason can different may be they want to get your credit card number by receiving your personal details . I guess this is the primary reason why they want personal details .credit card theft is one of the most common crime online but can be easily avoided if proper steps are taken to avoid them .

How can I avoid them ?
* Give your email only to trusted websites .
* Use your general knowledge . Nobody is going to give you their property .This may happens in movies but not in real life .



Scam : Earn 100 $ for clicking on email

Labels:

Beware guys , if you are new to internet or get paid to programs then chances are pretty high that you have already fallen into their trap .There are so many websites floating around the web that claim to give you 100$ etc or more on clicking emails or banners . They are flooding the web now as more and more people are exposed to earn online opportunities and thus more people to fell into their trap .


Here's how they work :

No matter how clever or skeptical you are when somebody offer you to give you 100 $ for reading email ,your mind says "i am sure that they are scams but lets join them . Money is so important in life maybe they will really give the money what then? " and then you join them do the work like surveys reading emails etc for month and when you ask for the payment you wait for 40 years to arrive but still no reply and telling your grandchildren about this tragic event .

You may not made any money but they have earned money from you as you have participated in surveys , read emails etc for them . On their side they have been paid by the advertisers .


Here's my tips to avoid them
1. Join the trusted websites listed here in gpt(get piad to ) emails, gpt surveys . I have already checked them out and get paid from them so I can assure that they are 100% scam free

2 . Lets say you want to advertise you ebook worth 75$ .Are you willing to pay 100$ to advertize it so that people will click on your advertisement banner and that too doesn't ensure that they are going to pay for the ebook . Same principle applies here , the advertizrs aren't going to pay 100$ for you to click .



Scam : Congratulation click on banner to claim your prize

Labels:

How many times have have you come cross the website with the flashing banner of

" congratulations you are winner click here to claim your prize "

and before clicking you start screaming all around the house yelling and bragging about it and after you click on the flashing banner you are directed to annoying sing up page " What the hell where is my prize " .

Your whole life sunken into deep black hole and you stop listening to anybody and close yourself in room talking to yourself " where is my prize" (sorry for exaggerating) . Most of the newbies fell into this trap and the enjoy the 2 second extreme joy of life (excitement level depends upon prize) . The people who are used to internet are quite used to this .I would rather call it annoyance instead of scam .

You may come across this type of annoyance in any website as they are just regular banners and uses greed of human being . All I can say about this type of scam is learn to ignore these ads . Rest you will learn with experience . Because my survey says if you are newbie then even after reading this article you will again press that beautiful banner .
