Internet Scams

Internet Scams are alive and well. How do you know what is and what isn't? For example last week a friend of mine sent me a link someone on social media advertised a free $100 card from a well known supermarket. Automatically seeing the well known store name a lot of people clicked to sign up and share WRONG turned out to be a scam. So how do we know the difference? I guess my advice to you is to research before you jump in feet first, Ask questions, talk to other people to find out what they know. Read and research Product/Company reviews.

I finally got lucky and was directed to Wealthy Affiliates by someone I had built trust in for a few months. Didn't do the above I suggested but trusted a friend. In this instance was well justified.

Just take heed and BEWARE as these Internet Scammers try all sorts of ways to lure and trick you. Using all sorts of advertisements such as actors as above. Well known companies even using these companies.

So get informed before you leap.
