There have been so many scams online for sure. If you are not careful you end up being a victim. Here are some ways to avoid getting scammed or defrauded online;

• Never trust sites whose promises look too good to be true - a site that promises to double your $50 in 24 hours is just an outright scam. I don't know how you will be thinking trusting them. Unfortunately, most people who are new to online scams trust them out of greed. Such promises are just unrealistic.
• Never trust a site that has scammed before - some sites come and go. But others keep coming back after a while yet they did not pay users last time. Never trust such a site as it could run away with your money again. Or you find a site that is created afresh by a previous scammer, never trust a scammer.
• Only read reviews from trustworthy sites - you should not trust all sources of reviews, especially those you find in social media sites. Most of them are made by the owners of a scam site who pays them for fake reviews. It is best to look for legit review sites like trust pilot or forums such as this one whose reviews are genuine.

So many scam businesses are running rampant on the internet these days. And while there are some things you can do to avoid becoming a victim of a fraud, it's impossible to completely prevent yourself from being targeted by scammers.
They're getting more sophisticated all the time, and they have access to advanced software that makes it harder to detect them. However, you can implement some simple steps to help you spot suspicious behavior.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

-If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Never send money or personal information over the phone or online unless you know exactly who you're talking to.

-Don't give out your bank account number or PIN number to anyone over the phone or online. If you do, your account could be drained in minutes!

-Make sure that any website where you enter your credit card information is secure (look for https instead of http). This will help protect your identity from hackers who may steal your data and use it for their own purposes.

-Beware of emails that seem "too official." Many phishing scams will pose as legitimate companies in order to get your personal information or money from you by impersonating someone else entirely!

-Read through their about me and TandC pages, if you find anything off or nonprofessional posts, you should be careful about your next action.

Before your sign up or venture into any platform you must try as much as possible to make a lot of research, platforms like trustpilot can help you a lot too determine if a website is legitimate or not. Trustpilot is a review website in which you can go into and read the reviews of people to determine their experience.

If their experience is pleasant then you can venture into it and try your luck but if it is not pleasant you need to run away. They withdrawal threshold of platforms can also indicate whether they are scam or not. If it is too high then you need to run away.

There is a lot of scam and fraud Investments that are circling around in the internet today and a lot of them have been set up in such a way that you are even hardly going to be able to differentiate the ones that are bad from the ones that are good so you really need to take extra measures to ensure that.

The first thing you should do is to go to review and customer-friendly sites like trustpilot where you are going to be seeing the reviews that other people are dropping about it and if it is all negative reviews then it is better for you to just stay away from it .

If you cannot be able to find them and review sites then you can be able to search about the owners of the project as well if they are public people and if they have a known history of scamming people in the past .

If you want to protect your phone's then you should also ensure that you are not giving away your personal information like your date of birth and email password to strangers online who are promising to double your investments or give you free money .

The online platform is no doubt filled with a lot of scam and there is no working regulation to reduce its rate. Even on HYIP sites, the HYIP monitors are not being helpful in anyway, this is because, it gives one response today and tomorrow, an individual still ends up scamming people. As such, everyone owes him or herself the responsibility of guarding your personal information with utmost safety and also watch-out on the type of platform in which you dedicate your time, energy and creativity. In most cases, those who are being scammed online are not ignorant but is is out of greed. This is the reality which whether you agree or not, it remains a fact.


For example, last month in my geographical setting, a website crashed with billions and some persons even committed suicide based on this negative development but in the same month, another site emanated with the same technique and strategies all clear, yet people still went ahead to invest without learning from their past experiences or that of others. This only shows that the level of greed can make someone know that a site is scam but his mindset would deceive him or her to invest early so that he can withdraw quickly. In some cases, they are unlucky as the site can crash even on the second day.

As an online worker, it is your responsibility to shield yourself and vital details from the public and anyone. When it comes to your private details, you should not trust anyone with no matter how much acquainted you might be. So many persons have been defrauded online due to greed and negligence. There are some sites which we ought to be careful, this is because, if you go ahead and click on any suspected link, it could cause havoc to your privacy. Even on some mail information I receive, there is always a forewarning if the mail is suspicious and with this, I'd never take a step. Those who went ahead to click on any suspicious links would either have their social media account or email hacked immediately.

The level of scam is really on the increase and as such, we ought to protect ourselves because there is no other person to do it for us. Even through social media, so may people have their accounts hacked due to one mistake or the other. To avoid being scammed also, you need to be contented with what you have and do not tale risks which does not have any full compensation packages.

One of the major problem concerning online money making is falling into a scam site. Online money making is good way to make money and a lot of people are into this very business. This is the reason why some people have take the advantage to create websites and scamming people. He who haven't fall into a scam website is maybe a newbie of a total beginner or maybe he or she was lucky to get someone to direct her path through online money making.

I personally have an experience of this scamming issue and therefore I'm talking out of an experience because experience is the best teacher. As someone said you can avoid being falling into a scam site if you notice that the website is promising to give you a higher pay. I can tell you to think twice if a website is promising to pay you a higher money without you doing any reasonable work which deserves that pay. Most at times all these websites might be a scam and at time they just need your database to do their own things. Is not all the time that they need your money, although some online investment companies need your money and they will fraud you but most of them will jus need your database and email to do their own things.

This is such an important topic and the number of scams that are happening online is disturbing. Sometimes these scammers are so good at convincing you that you will end up falling for their trap no matter how smart of a person you are. And that’s why I have trust issues and the tendency to question anything and everything that I come across online. Fortunately I have never been a victim of an online scam myself but I have a couple of friends who ended up trusting a scammer out of all and their hard earned money was gone forever. No matter how strong the cyber security is, these people always find a way to get their task done. So all we can do is be cautious while dealing with anyone on an online platform.
