Scam Exposed. How To Recognize Warning Signs That May Indicate A Scam.

It's Saturday afternoon. After putting in a full week on the job, you now have the delightful task of refilling the family larder. Clutching your fistful of coupons, you are braving your way towards the checkout counter.

You've just spent the last hour scratching and fighting your way through the crowds in the grocery store. Your 18 month old daughter is tired of sitting in the passenger seat and is expressing her unhappiness to anyone within earshot while your 4 year old son is tossing fists full of candy bars into the cart.

You're almost down to the wire. You've stacked your mounds of treasure on the moving counter and eased your way toward that tiny little shelf that's supposed to accommodate your purse and anything else you have in your hands. You manage to work your debit card out of that slot in your wallet that they always make too small and run it through the slide.

Foot tapping, both kids are now screaming at the top of their lungs when the clerk says, "sorry it's declined." What? Can't be, you just deposited your paycheck yesterday. Oh well, it probably hasn't posted yet, right?

Pulling out your number one credit card you slide it through with a flourish. Uh, oh! "Sorry, that's declined too," says the clerk with an impatient shrug of her shoulders. Well, this is just ridiculous. Fishing through your purse for a pen, you pull out the checkbook and scribble out a check with handwriting that would make any doctor proud!

By this time, the clerk just rolls her eyes and says, "Nope!" Scraping the bottom of your purse you manage to pull together enough cash to pay for half your order.

By now you are thoroughly embarrassed and feel the angry line behind you boring holes through your back. Chastened you manage to get the kids and groceries out of the store.

What just happened? Someone has gotten ahold of your financial information and literally cleaned you out. Emptied your checking account and probably maxed out your credit card as well.

If you think this could never happen to you, think again. It happens every day all around the world. The only thing you can do is to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Scam Online & Offline. Here Is Just Some Of The Information You Will Find Inside.

The Scammer in The Mirror

The Real Scammer will spare no-one - age, poverty or illness are no protection from their attentions.

Buried Wealth

The victim is looking for a quick rise in his fortunes and desperate enough to do whatever the scammer tells him to.

The Money Machine

The scammers would target wealthy businessmen whom they met at hotels, casinos and on cruises - places where there was a lot of money around but someone that always paid with fresh notes still would be noticed.

3 Card Trick

Scammers still work their tricks and so many people greedily wager on their crooked schemes that, to the scammers' admittedly warped minds, they make enough money to consider the obvious risk of prison just another work hazard.

Charity Related Offers

Do you get advertising which includes the 'hook' where they promise that some of your money which you pay for their product or service will be donated to a charity or local service group?

Work At Home

These scams focus on anyone that wants to add to their current income or get paid for working at home instead of having to go to the employer's premises to do that work, perhaps because of family or health commitments.

Model Scams

People who are attractive or whose children seem (to them) to be more attractive and brighter than those in the television commercials, are prime targets for scammers at all levels of the modeling business.

You Have Won

The news comes in a large envelope bearing some interesting foreign stamps and all the information they need to claim their prize or confirm their interest in being a beneficiary of some relative that they had long forgotten or, more likely, never heard of before.

Investment Opportunity and Free Holiday

You are approached to look at a time-share investment and the promoters are so confident about what they're offering they'll fly you to the resort and accommodate you at their expense.

The Ponzi - Fools' Money

A Ponzi scheme is the classic pyramid scheme. They reap rich rewards for their operators if they manage to get away with the proceeds.

The Big Store

A Spotter will often locate the potential victim, lure them to meet the scammers and then withdraw, because they have to maintain their reputation and appearance as an honest member of the community.

Money Laundering

It begins with a letter or, in recent years, an email which is supposedly from a minor bureaucrat, ex-military man of high rank or the widow of a senior bureaucrat who had been involved with his country's finances.

Malware

Scammers that use the Internet have new weapons at their disposal - spyware and other programs that are deposited on your computer when you visit some sites, download some 'free' programs, pictures or music files or use chat rooms or file-sharing systems.

Phishing

Phishing is sending of emails which appear to be from banks, credit card services and other organizations such as your Internet service provider (ISP) or government agencies which you deal with.

Foreign Brides

If you are a lonely male, and decide to look abroad for a wife, there's lots of wonderful ladies that would make a great life companion for you to pick from.

Identity Theft

Identity theft is someone using your personal information such as your name, social security number, credit card number or other identifying information, without your permission, to withdraw money from your accounts, use your credit card numbers for online, mail or phone purchases or other crimes.
