If its span its scam is a safe approach to online merchants offering things to good to be true.
Some viewers of Gilligan’s Island apparently took the show seriously in the 1960s. The U.S. Coast Guard received several telegrams from concerned citizens asking why they didn’t rescue the Minnow’s crew. This has been an excellent week. I have received four or five emails from London and Africa announcing that I have been selected to receive, from each of them, sums in eXcess of ten million dollars The quite remarkable fact seems to be that one fellow’s plane crash, another’s unexpected demise—apparently run over by a herd of elephants— a third’s cruel wife, have all resulted in me being just the right person on the planet to receive millions of dollars which was left in their estates. Not only that: Several lotteries have paid off this week as well, and, just like the poor African ministers who want to share their millions with me, the lottery companies are happy to send money as well. It seems all I have to do is let any one of these secret correspondents know a few details about my bank account and social security number and my life worries will be over.
Illegal pyramid schemes. Sell YOU e-mail lists. Illegal and everyone loses money. Stuffing envelopes You pay to register- you send same ad to others. Gimmick cures and “scientific breakthroughs”. Don’t work. World currency market scam – beware. Free goods like computer – have to pay to join – bring in other memebers – disguised pyramid plan. Ponzi schemes – paid from money from later investors and told to invest more money… Kits don’t work and if they did they are illegal and cable companies are aggressively prosecuting. You pay up front costs but loans don’t come through Promise to erase negative information – promoters of this scam cannot deliver – if you lie on a loan app about your income, ss# you could be committing fraud and violation federal laws You “won” a vacation on a deluxe cruise chip – more like a tugboat with expensive upgrades – hotel accommodations are shabby.
Today in the game -MISSING we have learned grooming techniques of on-line predators -Airdogs- theft, fraud, bullying The next area of concern are modeling scams… Modeling agencies prepare prospective models for the industry by enhancing their appearance, training them on the catwalk, photo shots, and arrange jobs for the models. What can sometimes happens is the modeling agencies are fronts for scams and other criminal activity
What makes them scams… Several years ago I became a partner in a retail clothing company and part of my responsibilities were the advertising and marketing of the company -I signed up with a local modeling agency (in an professional office) to participate in a workshop and photo shot to build a portfolio. I learned how to “work” the catwalk, makeup and clothing and photography. I paid for my photos (slides) Was sent on a “job” hair model…never paid, never called again Learned what I needed to know for my work However, there are other scams that lead to very different situations….
(After reading slide) My experience: -Cattle call…eliminated down, called back to meet in a hotel room…at my age and experience ….RED FLAG!
Web criminals are getting much more personal in their attacks, using social networking sites and other databases to make their story lines much more believable. Bryan Rutberg's daughter was among the first to notice something odd about her dad's Facebook page. At about 8 p.m. on Jan. 21, she ran into his bedroom and asked why he'd changed his status to: “BRYAN IS IN URGENT NEED OF HELP!!!“ In Rutberg's case, criminals managed to steal his Facebook login password, steal his Facebook identity, and change his page to make it appear he was in trouble. Next, the criminals sent e-mails to dozens of friends, begging them for help.
