Welcome to this site on frauds and scam warning.
Most crimes now are no longer executed by guns and bullets. PCs and smartphones are now the new crime tools. And of most crimes, frauds and scams, especially on line or via sms are carried out daily. Of the millions articles posted on the internet, a good number, and I am a recipient of them, are scams and frauds.
Despite numerous articles and warnings on the same many still fall for he scams and fraud and become victims.
The goal of this site is to compile some of the scams so that you will be properly guided. So that you will not be a sucker.
In a business class I conduct, I ask for a project on a new and innovative crime. The exercise has several objectives:
1. That as the essay "Desiderata" says, the world is full of trickery. A business person can not afford to be naive and have a Pollyana attitude towards the world and other people.
2. To be security and scam conscious. "Only the paranoid survive" After 40 years in business, some petty scams are committed on me, like a poor waif who says, "Can you give me some money, I need it for my mother's funeral" And you forgot how many times her/his mother died?
3. That like any other enterprise, a scam needs a lot of planning, thinking and strategy. The scammers are several steps ahead of you. You better be ahead too. You learn how to think clearly, and ahead of others
So scams and fraud protection anyone. At his moment, I am sure through your cellphone and/or smartphone you are exposed to several.
Have you identified some of them at your PC and cellphone.
Be aware. Be careful. God bless
