Comments on: Internet Fraud and Work-at-Home Scams http://skyworksmarketing.com/internet-fraud-and-scams/ Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:48:25 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: HallowedCacophony http://skyworksmarketing.com/internet-fraud-and-scams/comment-page-1/#comment-637 HallowedCacophony Tue, 04 May 2010 17:14:06 +0000 http://skyworksmarketing.com/?p=3537#comment-637 I've had a friend who had a boss who ran off with her written articles without paying. No matter how hard she tried to contact them, they would not reply to her since she was already asking them to pay her for her services after repeated 'expect it later on'. And that's not just in freelance writing, it also happens in every other internet/home based job too. Though I'm not so sure about the frequency elsewhere since I'm a writer. At any rate, when you're online, the lack of serious law enforcement is a blur, it makes the net both a safe and very unsafe world to be. Giving out personal info and working---avoiding to get scammed and stolen from: it takes some good gut feel and being sensitive to getting 'signs' where you just feel something's off. Though at times it can be pretty hard to do so. Do you have plans to expand on the article's contents into several other articles which can prove to be just as insightful? That would be wonderful.

I'm a student and somehow this article makes much sense for me; it's very relevant too. Since I've made this whole working at home set up as a hobby, I've been looking at all prospects. I haven't been scammed, I still fear it despite it never happening to me. You'll never know right? But yeah, definitely the rule of the thumb here is 'If it's too good to be true, it isn't.' It's not just Nigerian letters you'll be getting in your spam/inbox! You can also get letters from citizens 'supposedly' from West Asian countries and Egypt! Heck I've even got one from the USA claiming stuff about help me through a transaction/your folks died. Too bad, it's gotten so easy to get away with things online. Internet laws should be made stricter to move on a faster beat to catch these crooks.

Never give out personal information and make sure that you’re dealing only with respectable people or firm online. As a precaution, you can check their profiles or reviews through the internet. There might have been other would-be victims and not just you! Yes, don’t be so trusting to the people you does not know.

I can say that they are smart people because they arrived with great ideas of fooling people but I just hope that instead of using it to gain their own interests, they use it in more upright matters.
