online scams Question And Answer
hello, all. in the future, i need to work from home; am looking for a VALID online job opportunity; NO SCAMS! i have a new, super laptop. am an intelligent, honest, reliable man.
have a vast knowledge of different topics, including: cats, psychology, suffragism, american history, movies, music,
chocolate, and more!! i live in memphis, tn. am flexible, as i am single and no kids. please contact me asap if you feel that i can help you or someone you know. i need to move on this asap, so, please, serious responses only. thank you all for your time and consideration!!
I hve been seeing those scams in yahoo answers. Just wondering.
hey. i would like to know if those online jobs or home jobs are real or scams? cause i saw one about filling out surveys and testing products, but i'd like to know has anyone ever actually tried this and what was your experience with it? is it worth it or is it all scam? thanks !
Can someone give me some free information about earning a living online?
like, shut the fuck up with your fackin chain shlt already nobody wants anything to do with your "work at home filling out surveys" scams, fackin morons. nobody I know's that stupid
we all know there are many sites for online jobs which are fraud and take your money but they nither give you job nor money.
does this come under cyber crime act, if yes how to do complaint about them in india. these site is indian
Does anyone know if there are any legit websites that give you residual income online? What are they? How much do they cost? Are they easy to run? No scams please!!
I know that a lot of online-schools are scams and "degree-mills". Which ones are not?
I'm in California if that makes a difference....
I would like to find a school where I make monthly payments if possible--
I once did a course through PCDI, and I thought it was a complete scam... I don't want to be scammed!!!
Thank you so much for your help!
I had a person tell me that he did this. He does not seemed to be worried.
I knew many online jobs are scams But any chance to get a real one? Would love to make some extra money. Are there any REAL online jobs available?
I'm bilingual and speak good Chinese.Also have some knowledge of web design and stuff. I can work for startup website to help them set up a Chinese site, or anything related to that.
Any good advice or offer? TIA
thanks folks. Is monster.com free or not?? thanks
Just wondering I see so many of them. Do people really fall for them?
Can anyone please give him some advice on this.....he won't listen to me.
I have looked for information to check out a site. Found nothing. Then got burnt. Another site had a "legitimate review". Both were scam sites. Surely there must be a database where these low life creatures are recorded?
Scam sites...

PS I have discovered 2 World of Warcraft Scam sites that take money and steal the codes. I need to advise WoW of fraudulent details to cancel. Is there an email address I can use from the UK?
i am being requested to open a bank account in texas for someone who says they are in africa and dont have access to any banks there. then they want me to western union them cash out of the account
This girl ( her pictures are attached ) , whom I NEVER met looked me up via the BlackPlanet.com website.
Playing the same gam you went through (The $18,000 and give me half game if I cash it and send to her GAME)
So, now I'm playing her getting ALL the info I can and turn her IN to the cops.

SO THT I WILL GET IT TO THE HOTEL MANAGER TO GET THE MONEY OUT HERE OK.. I WILL CARE TO COME OVER DIRECTLY TO YOU FROM HERE OK.... WELL HIT ME UP LATER I CARE
VANESSA
I am not sure how that works, they advertise lucrative payout for participating in such transaction, which is basically illegal and US party get into big trouble for depositing check for few thousands dollars. I learnt about it at school. Did anyone try that kind of business??
I answered an ad looking for a home for their Yorkie.. Turns out after a couple of emails that the "Free" dog is going to cost me $270. for shipping and papers.... BIG RED LIGHT!!! The person said they live in Limbe Cameroon????? Has anyone heard of the place? I feel this is a scam... Who do I contact?
Has anyone actually ever received free stuff like that...because I don't get it. Everyone says not to do it, its a scam, but isn't that false advertisement? But on the other hand, if they really did work, no one would buy anything anymore, they would get it for free. So I hear that if you do it, you have to sign up for different offers...but is it worth it? because some of the stuff they give away is pretty good....
I got another of those 'please let me put XXmillion in your account and pay you a fortune for the innconvenience' emails, where they will try to fleece me for every penny I have. Now, obviously I am not falling for it, but is there anything I can do to stop this particular one? For example, he is using a Yahoo mail account, how would I report that to Yahoo? Anything else I can do to really mess his plans up?
I was contacted by a man online that said he would pay me $500-$1000 a week being a check writer for him in his business. Has anyone ever heard of this? is it a scam? Said he will send me a check writer and everything I need, he will send me emails of who the check is to and the amount and I just need to ship them out. Sounds to good to be true. anyone help?
Who is in charge of email safety. I'm over run with email scams, on my yahoo account. Using the spam button, only seems to increase the bad traffic. Surly there must be someplace to forward, bad email, to help remove it from circulation!
is there a special address the can be used to transfer these scams?
The idea sounds great. You can work full time and come home and do online classes, but they seem like they’re just not as trusted as going to an actual school. Is this just because it’s new? Also I wonder if they’re just as credible as any other school, as they all say they are.
is there a way to check scam lists in specific areas to see if person(s) run a scam regularly on unsuspected people online? isnt that against a law or something or is it addressee beware?
in the opening years of internet, many fell for scams. what experience have you had either laughed off, almost fell for it, or just have to write it off to experience, if you went for it?
Could someone tell me which of the dating sites online are scams? i know that passionads.com is but what other ones are? and are there any ligettamate ones out there?
this guy gave me his phone number and everything. i personally spoke to this guy.. i didnt give him any information but he was very very convincing. im not stupid.. i dont even bank online for fear of a virus and someone getting a hold of my info. and this guy had me going. until i found the exact email, word for word, that he sent me on a fraud email website. but that website wasnt an authority. it was just a website... so what authority can i call and speak to someone about this scam? this guy went as far as to tell me that one of my relitives had passed away. how screwed up is that?
I'm so scared of online scam schools, but I need education.
I know that my community college offers some classes online, but i'm looking for a program in the creative field.
can someone help me out?
i'm in california
I want to reprt Online scams.Find some way to report the supposed people behind them...Like...Yahoo.com@Easynetonline.net>George Bala and William Gerri Also Douglas Wilson and E-mail agent John_79@Yahoo.com.hk supposedly for info@microsoft.co.uk ?
What are the little weasles doing in the internet cafes overseas? What scams are new now? What little sob stories are they making up now. I know there are new ones. I just heard of one. What do people need to watch out for now?
Of course do not believe people you meet online. I heard of a dating one. People meet people on online dating and then ask them do things when they have not met. Things involving exporting goods out of the Country that were purchased with a stolen credit card from another us citizen. If a guy says he loves you ignore him he is lying.
In case people will say there is no question here like they do because I have lost them with there attention span and they do not look up at the question it is.
What are the scams of current day?
To the nice people I am so sorry the rude ones make me lose patience.
Well I see them, but others do not this is kind of public service. I get the fake ebays and the fake emails that have the sob stories and have seen fake posts asking for money on bulliten boards.
People say they need money for an education for their kids for 12 years and people are like well doesnt everyone. Look somewhere else. I live in the us and our kids do not have school supplies we are doing drives. The are asking for health care money and it is like well do not look to the us for that there are tons of people here who do not have it and you are asking some of them.
Yeah I have heard of them. I am sure guys get them too. It might even be a guy on the other side who knows. They make jokes that you could be talking to a German Shepeard for all you know. You have no clue what is on the other end.
Fuzzy dice. I have wanted to write them, but the BF tells me that then they know they have a real email. Is it possilbe. To get an offeisive letter generatior? I have messed with the fake ebay things and put in an offensive user name and fake stuff and it takes it, but it will not take fake credit card into. It know what real numbers are. Strange huh you cannot just make up and put all zeros in. They look so real too.
Yeah back in the day of ICQ some guy wrote me and wanted me to find him a job here. I said find your own job. He said he wanted me to find him one. That is bull. They just want americans. I have my nice american bf who has tons of connections to the comunity and know his family and friends of his family. We both are connected no con job here. We have been together 2 years thank god no weirdos. People do get screwed. I feel sorry. They just need to be informed that they might be talking to a poodle instead of a man or woman.
I have a friend that was recently contacted by a man online that says he is an american citizen in Nigeria and that he is there for his son who is sick with typhoid fever and that he is having problems with his credit cards and was also robbed,what he is proposing is my friend to accept a check from his work here in US and cash and then send him money through western union,I have heard of nigerian scams before through email and what not but she has talked on the phone with this person,it sounds shady to me though,how can I check this out for my friend so she does not get scammed or in trouble.
Just wanted to say this was not an email letter she met this man through a dating service and has been talking by messenger and telephone,also she says she gave her name and address and now is worried and wondering if she should contact authorities now.
