How to protect yourself and how to avoid them How To Protect Yourself It makes no difference if you are thinking about starting a business, shopping or just looking for a new job online, you can protect yourself from some of the most clever scams online If you just follow the simple steps below. Tips On How To Avoid Them (1) You can always find out information on a company or person by doing a quick search online. All you need to do is go to Goggle or Yahoo and enter the word scam and the company or person name. Follow all leads. If no leads show up, then that is a good thing. It means their are no complaints on them online. (2) Check with the state's Attorney General's Office to see if the company or person have received a series of complaints. (3) Check with the
National Fraud Information Center at: www.fraud.org to see if the company or person is
listed. They provide a lot of information about telephone, mail, and online
scams. (5) Always make sure that you get a guarantee. Ask the company what will happen if you want to return the product or what do you need to do if you want a refund. (6) Be cautious of companies who ask for your bank account info, or ask permission to deposit money into your bank account. (7) Try to use your credit card instead of cash if you buy a product or invest in a business opportunity. That way if you do get ripped off, it may be easier to dispute the charges with your credit card company. (8) Never do business with anyone in the country of Nigeria. If you do, you are fair game. The Nigerian Government is in on most of the scams from that country. This is just too large a business for Nigeria to crack down on. It would be like Nevada trying to close the casinos in Las Vegas. There have been numerous reports of high-level officials of the Nigerian government and the Central Bank of Nigeria personally participating in some scams. (9) Don't reply to bulk email. You don't wont to do business with someone who like to spam people. Why? If they are bold enough to spam you, then they are bold enough to ripping you off!
