Scammers All Over Internet

Scammers all over Internet. The Internet is becoming a scary place and people need to always be watching out from scammers. Know when to suspect you might be being scammed.

Scammers are everywhere, lurking in the shadows just waiting to prey on an unsuspecting soul.  We are picked out by them and they hunt us down.  The thing is when we find them, we aren’t aware that they are going to scam us.  We often fall victim to it.

Another thing scammers love.  The elderly.  They are very often insecure in their choices and they just are very often too trusting and are quick to believe someone that in truth is scamming them right out from under their noses.  And then before they know it, their money is gone.  And they need their money as they are retired and have no other income.

But scammers love anyone who will fall victim to their crimes.

Watch out for MySpace scammers.  All these men and women say they want a relationship, sweet talk you, then come up with some crock crap that they need money from you for some reason.  They all say they make millions, yet suddenly they need your hard earned money.  Don’t give them a penny.  Most of them are probably sitting at a desk somewhere, 24/7 and are feeding you baloney.  And once you send it to them, you might as well kiss it goodbye.  It’s gone.  And they will be gone too.  You will never meet them.

Also watch out for One Click Cash.  First thing is that if you get a loan, you are required to pay it back in about five to ten days and if you don’t, they wallup you with a $350 fine that is extra than your loan.  And then they aren’t a safe site.  They have scammers hacking into their site.  The reason I know this is that I got a $200 loan once and was expecting to pay it back in three weeks, and they suddenly expected payment in about five days and they tacked $350 to the loan.  Then, I suddenly got some scammer from India saying I owed One Click Cash $1200.  I suddenly said no way.  Well, this guy started hounding me and calling me all the time.  He started threatening to come over and arrest me.

I changed my number so he couldn’t contact me.  Later I settled with One Click Cash and they said the guy was a scammer from the Third World and was just threatening me into paying him.

You really have to watch out as all over the internet people are scamming people left and right.  And we are blind to it.  Also another scamming company I discovered was TrustSofts.  You think you are buying the Adobe software for cheaper, then the download and serial number doesn’t work and they never respond to your emails that you want a refund.  And then later on, you see that they are a company not to be trusted and someone has reported them.  Just too bad, I didn’t see it before I bought the software.

If you are in question about a company, google them first and make sure they are on the up and up.

I’m even questioning Authorhouse.  I sunk lots of my money to publish three books, paid hefty amount for the basic advertising package (which by the way did nothing for me), and my royalty checks stunk.  $25 and $2.  It makes me sick.

It was kind of worth part of it to get my book in print and get a copy.  Another time I won’t be going with Authorhouse.  I’m thinking of CreateSpace and will pay the bare minimum just to publish and get some copies.

Watch out for your hard earned money.  It doesn’t come easy and you don’t want these scammers to take it away from you and your family.

    Oh dear, I hope you are alright. The Internet is scary indeed, because the criminals become creative time after time and always figure out some new scam. People, watch out!

    It is a good idea to google companies and look for customer reviews before trusting them. You can also check with BBB online. The internet is fun and useful but extreme caution must be taken, especially when giving out personal information.
