CYBERSCAMS : A visual guide to 25 of the biggest Internet scams.
- Do you do your banking on the Internet?
- Do you use your credit card online?
- Have you just started on the Internet?
- Are you running a successful ebay store?
- Do you have an online gambling account?
- Do you use PAYPAL for online transactions?
- Do you have any financial information on the Internet?
- Have you worked hard to build a profitable web site?
If you answered YES to any of these questions then Scammers are after you!
Hi, my name is James Elliott and I've been surfing the Internet since 1996.
In that time I've seen a lot of scams and received a lot of spam email (I currently receive about 100 per day).
What really worries me about these scams is that they get BETTER all the time, they learn what works and what doesn't.
Do these scams work? I have a degree and I've been tricked twice!
In 2003 I accidentally gave my ebay details to the Russian mafia! I learnt the hard way and thought 'I'll never get caught again' but in 2007 I accidentally gave my brothers online betting account details to Armenian scammers!!.
Both times I felt like a real fool. The second time I felt even worse because I was writing my book on Cyberscams (and was nearly finished) when I gave away my brothers betting account, I couldn't believe it! So why did it happen? Because I didn't know what a scam looked like that targeted online betting accounts! I now know what they look like and how they work - and you'll find this information in my book 'Cyberscams : A visual guide to 25 of the biggest Internet scams.'
"My finance details are on a secure server, I have nothing to worry about"
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! The secure server is safe, (in fact no secure server has been hacked into) - but that is not the way scammers get your account details!
They 'Phish' (I explain the term in more detail in the book - or on my website) for your details and if they trick you then YOU GIVE THEM your password!
There is no need for them to hack the secure system to get at your finances because they now have your password.
Seriously, how long has it taken you to build a successful business? Maybe a profitable online betting account? Is your Paypal account full of money after lots of successful transactions?
ALL YOUR MONEY COULD BE GONE WITHIN 30 SECONDS!
"Paypal and ebay will protect me"
WRONG!!
Read chapter 32 - 'The truth about Paypal's own protection policy' before you start believing that others are looking out for you.
Did you know that your Paypal account is directly linked to your credit card? Once scammers get your paypal details you can kiss your credit card goodbye within minutes. And if you think Paypal will reimburse you then you are about to learn a horrible truth.
Wherever there is money there are crooks, and Paypal has more money than some banks! The irony is that these crooks are now selling the information on how to scam others because it is so easy to do!
Don't believe me? Find the last item that you purchased via Paypal and put in a 'item not as described' claim - then send the box back to the seller EMPTY!! But make sure you send it back via registered post so you have documentation that you 'returned' the item. Paypal will then give you your money back NO QUESTIONS ASKED! I SHOULD KNOW AS SOMEONE DID IT TOO ME!!!
Please don't really do this though, you're only asking for legal trouble if they call the police - the only reason I didn't call the authorities is because I'm in Australia and he was in New Orleans, USA.
As for ebay - they are a target of no less than SEVENTEEN different scams that I know of. I was an ebay powerseller for four years and I was on the end of twelve of those scams, so it does happen and happens often.
You really do need to look after yourself because nobody else will.
This book covers ebay scams, paypal scams, the Nigerian letter scam, lottery scams and many others.
I have found that the best defence against scams is KNOWLEDGE, and this book will give you just that.
This book will teach you the following -
- The Nigerian letter scam; how they contact you, how it works and how to avoid it.
- Phishing email - what they are and how they work.
- What to do if you have given your details away to a scammer.
- SEVENTEEN different scams that target ebay users; It doesn't matter if you are a buyer or a seller! There are even scams that target third party users!!
- The most dud items you can buy on ebay; these are usually instructional booklets which, if you followed them correctly, would cause you to lose even MORE money! The only way to make money from these booklets is to sell them to some other sucker!
- How people really do make money from ebay - and ebay is desperately trying to close this loophole.
- Lottery scams. You may think they are easy to spot but the scammers are getting even more cunning, you might not be able to spot them next year unless you learn a few tricks that the scammers can't get around.
- Affiliate programs that go haywire - ever sold a product that suddenly stopped selling? I'll explain how it happens and the simple steps to take in order for it not to happen again.
- Internet viruses - has a friend really sent you that greeting card? or are you about to have you hard drive re-formatted? (I had a virus delete everything once, I lost two years of animation that I had produced, I was that devastated that I left the industry!)
This book may be the only book that should be compulsive reading before a person is allowed onto the Internet - don't let yourself be scammed!
