Breeding suckers at home. How to cheat suckers and earn big money despite the crisis - Lazy Penguin - LiveJournal. Method of cheating on the Internet SMS confirmation of registration
1.How long has it been since you bought music on CDs? on vinyl records?
2. Do you even know what audio CDs and vinyl are? And how much do original recordings generally cost, not a license but an original? But by the way, you can name the prices for a license if you know.
3. Now probably 90% will immediately ask what is the original and what is the license?
4.What percentage of readers aged 18 to 35 have a sound system at home?
5. At least once in your life you listened with your own ears to someone’s home, at an exhibition, in an audio salon, to a decent system (not in M.Video, not in Mediamarkt, not Eldorado) and which you liked.
6. How much do you think you can invest if you buy an audio system (say, September 24, 2015) that, in your opinion, will sound decent.
7. To talk about physics, cables, equipment, the direction of musical trends - tell me how often do you go to salons or with friends where you can listen to all this and form your own opinion?
I imagine very few would respond, if any at all.
For one simple reason, our people mostly listen to mp3 files on their phones through plugs.
But if people are interested, I will answer my own questions, maybe questions about cables and valuables and who can afford it will be dispelled.
1. Every month I buy music on vinyl, less often on CD - about 12-15 thousand rubles.
2. The price of original CDs, here is an example of the latest edition - david gilmour rattle that lock the album was released on September 18 (6 days ago) The CD costs 18 euros in Europe excluding delivery, the vinyl version is 21 euros
total CD 18x75 (course) 1350 rubles, 21x75 1575 rubles
+ include delivery
If you don’t want hemorrhoids with mail, you can buy them in an online store in Russia
Surprisingly, you can buy CD here even cheaper. Look at the photo, vinyl unfortunately costs more than 2 thousand rubles.
And we took a new edition, but there are CDs and vinyls released a long time ago (first presses) - some prices start from 5-7 thousand rubles.
An original is something that was released by a certain label in the year of publication. A license is the purchase of rights to publish and print from yourself.
4. How many of my work colleagues have audio equipment at home? In the radio engineering team, there are 38 of us - except for me (I’m 35 years old), no one has it. One engineer has an old but working system, but he is over 50 years old. In total, we will count for 38 people - only two.
5. I’ve been going to audio equipment exhibitions for about 10 years, also to showrooms, and to see friends, to understand how they built it and what they came up with. I took a deposit to listen to all the wires I bought (some I liked, some I didn’t, some I returned, in general, it happened more than once. You can say that he ate the dog.
Considering that everything has skyrocketed in price - because the ruble is not worth anything. I will say that assembling a system now is a real mess, and now is not the best time for this. (The question is whether it will be better later is not known) Because it’s still a year ago it cost 15-20 thousand, and these were, so to speak, audio components of the most niche class, and I would not even pay attention to such, but now they are sold for 40-50 thousand, and a person who does not understand or does not understand this - having bought What about this amount, say, a CD player? will think that he bought excellent equipment. But in fact, he bought a niche budget model.
If you were to assemble a system for a hall of 20 m2, from floor speakers, an amplifier, a CD player, cables, a vinyl player, a phono preamplifier, a head, filters. Then I think, taking into account the prices, something more acceptable in sound will start around the price of about one and a half million rubles, if taken from Novier salons.
If you take a secondary one, then for a million (considering that there is a crisis and many have reduced prices, because this is not a means of first necessity, many have mortgages, cars on credit, etc. You can actually put together a luxurious system in the Lyam area.
And now the main question is - if you know approximately how much it costs, what cables cost you so much at 30-40-50-60 thousand (considering that just a year ago they cost exactly half as much) this is the first, and second When some a pissing iPhone 6s with 128 gigs costs more than a hundred thousand rubles (with which the day after tomorrow everyone will be walking around) why are we surprised? seeing the prices for equipment, media, cables.
Audio hobby is not a cheap pleasure - for those who can’t afford it, there are RU trackers, mp3 files, earplugs and phones as a player for you. and you will be happy.
It’s a terrible situation, but you made this particular person look like a “sucker.” Therefore, I do not envy this “sucker”, who apparently lost his reputation due to stupid attempts to earn 10 bucks for free =)
Yeah... but the most offensive scam is when a friend writes to you, borrow 10 wmz for a couple of days... and then it turns out that it was just a friend’s ICQ that was hacked.
And this is some schoolboy, absolutely untalented with a stupid divorce and childhood mistakes...
>>but the most offensive scam is when a friend writes to you, borrow 10 wmz for a couple of days... and then it turns out that it was just a friend’s ICQ that was hacked.
and this is what a weird guy recently asked me to do. I suggested that he write the same thing from the forum where he is an admin. And everything is ok.
+ I already had his wallet written down. Although I heard that there are some substitutions and other crap...
Once, some kind of puberty took away my ICQ, I still didn’t understand how, but I was able to get it back, because... I've dealt with this topic before. He demanded 5k rubles, and in case of non-payment he was going to scam several people from the contact list, thereby setting me up. Naturally, I didn’t pay anything and got my number back, with great difficulty, really. So yes, there are plenty of such freebie seekers.
Listen, they tried to promote a slightly different joke: I receive a letter on my email, supposedly from the WebMoney administration, saying that my site is engaged in illegal activities. the letter indicated the registration email, hosting, and a link to the site page in web money, where in case of refusal to pay, complaints about the site will be written)) the price of the issue was simply shocking - 600 bucks for a zero project)) and a note - send it to me personally . !! I remember having a great laugh then))
Hello madam
Thank you for your message, I contacted my bank by mistake, which was done when transferring 50 thousand rubles to my account and this makes me understand that she made two transfers of funds, so changed the transfers of the funds received, so I ask you to forgive us for changing the transfer of funds received for 50,000 rubles already in your account since yesterday, you are expected to deposit 4,000 rubles to 50,000 rubles to confirm your account tomorrow at 10:00.
My bank asks you to forgive us for the mistake and pay the 4,000 ruble mandate through Western Union, since it needs documents for your records of a Western credit union application between a private person and to have more confidence in these clients, and is one of our guarantee obligations.
But I know that our service can count on the client and this is the same for clients. Because if you are able to pay 4,000 rubles, this will give us confidence who we want to loan and do not forget that this is the only way you can get 50,000 rubles into your account. To know that all expenses, you will be reimbursed 95%, so don't worry and trust me, you won't regret it.
And don't worry, please note that if you are able to pay 4,000 rubles it will automatically transfer 50,000 rubles to your account so that my bank expects the transfer of 4,000 rubles.
I have the bank to cover these expenses as soon as possible, to the loan files for confirmation and send 50,000 rubles to your account.
Madam, I will send you the truth received from the transfer of 50,000 rubles in one hour to follow up, so keep an eye on connecting to receive a receipt.
My bank expects the transfer of 4000 rubles tomorrow at 10:00 for 150 thousand rubles you need to confirm your account tomorrow at 10:00.
4000 rubles and pay you 50 thousand rubles at your disposal as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention and quick response
How long will there be different ways of communication between people and how long will there be scamming suckers? The main thing is not to fall for these scams. Most often, this is always a bluff and it doesn’t come to fruition. There are rare cases such as this that you can figure them out and also do a mischief!
I think as long as the Internet continues to exist, scammers will continue to breed suckers, because there are two categories of them: some predators, others victims, and that’s all.
It’s just important to not be a victim and scammers won’t scam you!

And yet, after I submitted online loan applications to several banks, leaving my mobile phone number, after a couple of weeks one citizen named Arthur began calling me, offering to take a bank loan for 2 and a half million, for which I replied that I didn’t need such a large amount, the maximum I needed was an amount of 50 thousand rubles, and then I would have gotten by with 30 thousand, it’s just that there are some who offer only from 50, after listening to him on the phone , to find out what his scam really was, I realized that the scam was quite decent, he introduced himself to me as an employee of some transport campaign for the extraction of non-metallic materials and said that their campaign needs cars and at the moment they need two people to borrow an amount of 5 million from the bank to buy cars, but I was simply dumbfounded because I asked how he could imagine this when they require so many papers for a minimum loan. And here for such an amount and he told me that if I I agree, then all they will need from me is my passport and INN with pension. Next, they employ me in their company and then submit documents to the bank to receive such a loan, citing the fact that for some reason the bank does not issue it for their company assets and therefore they activated all their friends and acquaintances and he looked on the Internet for more people in need of a loan, then the scheme is as follows: I take out a loan in my name of two and a half million rubles, then we go to a notary and apply for this citizen documents stating that he allegedly borrows two million two hundred from me. And the remaining three hundred seem to be that I don’t need to give them back, since I earn them for urgency, no, well, that’s fine. Although I’m far from such financial schemes, but for now I also realize that later the bank will shake me out of this loan, which I can never give them back, how do I understand this? Moreover, he is absolutely sure that I fell for it, since I told him that call me back and we will talk about all the intricacies, Because I didn’t ask him. How and who will give the loan to the bank or did I misunderstand something? Like he presented it to me as if the assets of their company were hanging in this bank and they couldn’t use them, he promised Monday to call back, it’s even interesting, I’ll find out and unsubscribe, although I understand that now I’ll just have to change my mobile number after such applications to banks, which reserve the right to distribute confidential information.
Elena Alekseevna Lebedinskaya
Hello, Anatoly Vinogradov! Unfortunately, I can’t yet add new information about the friend who offered me a loan, because he called me back on Monday and said that he had been called on a business trip to their office and that he would only be back next Monday, more precisely on July 12, but on Sunday he will call me to arrange a meeting, if I am still interested in this question, I am honestly at a loss, on the one hand, I think why I need all this, and on the other hand, I’m just interested in knowing the scheme of their actions, of course, that I’m not going to substitute my documents anywhere, because I live only according to the law, I just have his phone number and he hasn’t changed it, and I don’t even know how he imagines everything, because he’s sure that I’ll fall for it, he offered me to negotiate about a meeting in some cafe, when I said that I couldn’t, he said that he could drive up to my place of work or somewhere else to talk, I found options for now to even refuse the meeting, but now I’m wondering if I should continue this kind of communication and what could all this lead to? If the structures were interested in uncovering such frauds, then we could still bother. But why? Who needs this, just so that others don’t fall for such tricks, but shine Why should I identify myself? You never know what kind of criminals they are, I even believe that for such a sum one can take a person’s life, so I’m just afraid to even think about meeting, I’ll most likely refuse, because my curiosity can cost me dearly...

Advice to everyone, never agree to advance payment. No matter what the request is, this cannot be done. Simple and clear. It's a pity I just lost time with these idiots. Immediately ask that you be provided with the entire procedure for obtaining a loan and no transfers. Each party bears some expenses when applying for and registering a loan, and everyone goes crazy in their own way. How and how much it costs him is a matter for each of the parties. It’s another matter if the contract states that you will be offered to repay the costs after the loan is transferred. Then there is no problem - even a self-respecting lender will not demand this. It's clear to everyone.
Work with unfinished capitalism according to the final result and everything will be okay.
Brian Henman OFFICER on Blake Finance Limited, this is also from the Benny McCain series, be careful.
At the same time, pay attention to the photo and the company is presented in the same way, but the website they use is complete bullshit. I spent a lot of time on them, but they got their ass from me.

I’m reading the comments, my eyes are already watering from this whining, people earn as much as they can, some work at night, some cheat. Divorce is also a kind of art. You can’t blame the scammers here, you have to blame yourself, any scammer will always have a mistake. You just need to be more vigilant, and if you whine all the time ahhh they’re cheating you’re cheating you, then it’s useless, in our world every second person is trying to screw up about something, so. Humble yourself and stop whining. The author of the article is handsome!)
According to Hackers stole almost a billion rubles from Russians in 2017 Central Bank, in 2017, 961 million rubles were stolen from the accounts of Russians. The average amount of a transaction for which the cardholder did not consent was 3,000 rubles. It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s still unpleasant, considering that often the theft could have easily been avoided.
Often it is a matter of simple carelessness. Technological progress has given us smart devices that make life easier, but, alas, not safer. By hacking one of the gadgets connected to your home network, attackers can obtain all your personal information if they wish. Personal data, logins, passwords - you yourself will not notice how information about your life on the Internet will float to scammers.
To find out how to reliably protect yourself from attacks by cybercriminals, come to the lecture “How your teapot will rob you: the basics of financial security in the modern world” from the “Financial Environment” series. Speaker - Artyom Sychev, Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Security and Information Protection of the Bank of Russia. He will tell you how cybercriminals manipulate the minds of victims, how your activity on social networks can play into the hands of scammers, and what to do if they are trying to rob you or have already been robbed.
The lecture will take place on May 16 at 19:00 in the Central Library named after N. A. Nekrasov (Moscow, Baumanskaya street, 58/25, building 14). All lectures in the “Financial Environment” series are free, but you need to register in advance to ensure you have enough space.
Tricks you need to know about
And yet, the Internet of things is often not as dangerous as the most banal and familiar money scams. It seems that everything is elementary, these tricks are well-known, but people still fall for them.
1. Offer a profitable job
If you come across an advertisement that promises good money for dust-free work from home, do not rush to rejoice. Often such stories turn out to be banal fraud.
You are asked to transfer a certain amount, for example, to pay for educational materials and to confirm the seriousness of your intentions. The money they ask for is not that much, especially compared to their future salary. Why not, you think. That's all. You can write to a failed employer as much as you like, but you’re unlikely to get a response. No one will return your money either.
What to do
Don't believe sweet promises. Look for reviews about working in the company - you will probably find stories of deceived people who received a donut hole instead of money. Finally, think soberly: why do you need to pay for a job that you haven’t gotten a job yet?
2. Letter from a “bank employee”
What to do
Do not provide your card details to anyone and do not follow dubious links. If a person posing as a bank employee asks for the card number, expiration date and CVV code, he is probably a fraudster. Call the bank's direct line and find out whether representatives of the financial institution actually sent you a letter.
3. Asking “friends” for help
Transfer the required amount, and then surprise: it turns out that your real friend did not ask you for any money. His page was simply hacked and a decent harvest was collected, playing on the feelings of gullible acquaintances.
What to do
Make sure this is really your friend. Call him, write an SMS, in general, contact him in any way other than a message on a social network. And just in case, change the password for your account, especially if you use the same one everywhere. You never know, then suddenly you will have to justify yourself to everyone who sent money to the swindler who introduced himself as your name.
4. Deceptive sellers
The scheme is extremely simple. You have found an advertisement for the sale of something that you really need. Only now the seller asks for an advance payment: who knows, what if you deceive him, you will receive the goods, but you will not transfer the money.
In fact, they are deceiving you. You send the required amount to the seller, he writes, they say, he sent the parcel, wait. You wait, and wait, and wait some more. As you might guess, the purchase will not arrive to you, because no one thought to send it.
What to do
Do not buy anything from dubious online stores. Before sending money, try to find information about the seller. Perhaps someone has already fallen for his bait and shared their indignation on the Internet. And, of course, insist on payment upon receipt of the parcel.
5. Questionable sites
For example, the same online store. You buy something there, enter your card details, and then receive a notification that an amount exceeding the purchase price has been debited from your account. And it’s good if such a notification comes only once.
Before paying, take a look at the address bar. If the resource address begins with https, everything is fine, the connection is secure. If you use http, there is a high chance that your data will fall into the hands of criminals.
What to do
Watch carefully where and what data you enter. In cases where you do fall for scammers, immediately call the bank and block the card.
Vigilance is the best way to protect yourself from scammers, but other qualities are also needed to effectively manage your personal budget. On the website “Financial Culture” you will find practical advice on how to make friends with money and manage it wisely.
You can learn more about the methods of work of cybercriminals in the lecture “How your teapot will rob you: the basics of financial security in the modern world.” Sign up yourself and tell your friends about the lecture: such information is never superfluous.
I tried to collect and describe some schemes for deceiving gullible citizens who use . I will say right away that you can avoid the traps of scammers by knowing the techniques and methods they use. Although scammers are attracted by quick and easy money, they pay with freedom and karmic punishments. In this world everything comes back. If you have become a victim of fraud, contact the relevant authorities and write a statement. They may not return your money, but they will lead to the scammers.
This article is read by hundreds of people every day - perhaps one of the readers will support you with good advice or tell you about their experience. Just ask a question in the comments. Be sure to share the link to the post on social networks - this way you will help your friends avoid fraud on the Internet. I continue to add new types and patterns to it. Only recently I have supplemented the material with two types of fraud, and you can tell how many of them are still undescribed. From the latter - an article about the fraudulent project Tkeycoin (read)
The post is also read by those who are looking for methods of deception and divorce schemes. Before you step on a slippery slope, think about it and decide who you are:
- a pathetic loser with no brains for anything other than picking someone else's pocket.
- a leader who can handle any task.

So, 15 ways to cheat on the Internet.
Instagram scam
A lot of fraudulent schemes are organized through social networks. In this regard, Instagram is no worse or better than others. Everything is done according to the usual method: on an account with a large number of subscribers, likes, comments, which are inflated by the scammers themselves, an advertisement is posted from a fictitious store selling goods with a big discount of 50-70%.
The Instagram fraud scheme is as simple as an axe, that’s why it works. People are greedy for freebies and after correspondence they send money to the wallet specified by the scammer, after which they wait for their goods, and at this time they are fed breakfasts and promises. And subsequently such a fraudulent Instagram account is completely deleted.
What can you advise people who are just about to buy an excellent product at a bargain price? Do not buy! And if you want to check the seller for fraud, check the address of the store/warehouse and say that you have a friend who lives there, who will come over now, hand over the money and pick up the goods. As you understand, scammers will begin to explain in every possible way why this is impossible. If you get scammed on Instagram, then file a police report. I came across a recommendation somewhere that this won’t do any good. Spit! Write a written statement and let a thread follow the scammers. They won't go anywhere, karma will catch up with them.
Forex scam
I have been trading Forex since 2007. Therefore, I am familiar with the topic of Forex fraud first-hand. The most common type of Forex fraud involves attracting funds from gullible “clients” to certain shell companies registered under dummies or in offshore companies. However, not necessarily fake ones, because the scheme for taking away client funds is almost legal. When a client is looking for where to invest money, he often encounters scammers who promise him quick profits. The poor guy opens an account with a fraudulent company and funds it; he is usually assigned an individual “expert” or an automated advisor who will give “profitable” advice” or “trade for you.” Often, such advice or trading robots immediately give a good profit, but this is done only so that the delighted client replenishes the account with a larger amount. After all, many are cautious at first, and after receiving the first easy money, they “relax” and can even invest credit or borrowed money into a fraudulent structure. But after the deposit is replenished, transactions opened on the advice or algorithms of mechanical trading systems bring losses and managers tell clients that “the market has changed,” banks have “swept their feet,” and an unexpected surge in volatility led to the loss of the entire deposit. Nothing can be proven; all contracts state that the client must take into account the risks inherent in trading in financial markets.
If transactions were actually transferred to the interbank market, and the client himself opened his transactions, then there would be no fraud. But statistics say that 98% of traders lose money due to their own wrong decisions, which means there is no need to withdraw anything to the interbank market - it is better to wait a little and keep the client’s capital for yourself or help drain it quickly.
Please note: not all Forex brokers are scammers. We are talking only about those who lure gullible people with advertisements of guaranteed income in the financial markets in shell companies with the deliberate intention of appropriating their funds for themselves, enacting the performance described above. This same subsection also includes all kinds of hypes (hyip), which promise guaranteed profits and hide behind a beautiful legend.
You can make money on Forex! But this should be approached responsibly.
Fraud on the Internet on exchangers
Now there are a lot of exchangers and many, of course, honestly exchange money for a commission. It is clear that the commission there is not what you would like to receive, but still, at least the exchanger immediately offers its conditions, and you can accept them or refuse them.
But there are exchangers that are created in order to simply collect money from people and hide. They usually offer the most favorable conditions, with virtually no commissions.
To avoid falling for scammers, I use BestChange monitoring. In general, only honest exchangers post on this monitoring, and there on the service you can find the most favorable rate.
But besides exchangers, there are also ordinary people who offer their services for exchanging money. Everything is quite simple, for example, you need to exchange money from WebMoney to Perfect Money. There is a person who tells you, transfer me $1000 to WebMoney, and in 5 minutes I will send you $980 to Perfect Money. Figuratively speaking, $20 is a commission. To be honest, I myself have changed quite large sums several times through people whom I have never even seen in person and no one has scammed me yet, but theoretically this is possible. For example, you transfer money to a person’s wallet, but he doesn’t return anything to you in return.
Look, if such people are registered on a social network, they have 10 friends, a non-existent photo, then this is most likely a scam and you will not receive money in return. The thing is that the thief does not lose anything and can simply delete his page on social media. networks.
And if a person is registered on some large forum, he has his own topic there, people write in the topic that everything is fine, the person works honestly, and the last answer in the topic was a couple of days ago, then most likely you will exchange your money. There is no point in such a person deceiving you, if he deceives you, you will go to the forum, write in the topic that he deceived you, and no one will change anything for him, he will simply lose his reputation.
But in general, exchanging in private money changers is risky, now I don’t do this anymore, it’s most reliable to use popular exchangers that are posted on BestChange monitoring and have been working for years.
(Addition: I used to exchange money for WebMoney on the social network VKontakte. I found the appropriate group dedicated to the WMZ exchange and posted an advertisement on the wall about buying or selling currency, and then contacted the person who responded to the advertisement and, in a personal meeting with a protection code, completed the transaction . But they tried to scam me several times. Fraudsters create fake groups, design them by analogy with trust and verified groups, add bots in the same number, so you may not even be able to distinguish one group from another, only by the admin. And then the scammers track messages from users and write to them, introducing themselves as group administrators, supposedly this should inspire confidence in them, they offer to issue you an invoice and pay it, or ask you to confirm the code from SMS, there are many options. Naturally, they completely refuse a personal meeting and transfer with the code, or They say that they are already on their way and that the deal can be closed in advance...
In general, I came to the conclusion that it is easier to buy WMB at a bank with a commission, then exchange it on wm.exchanger.ru and not interfere with dubious people or intimidated underground workers.).
Internet fraud involving the sale of non-existent goods
There are a lot of different stores on the Internet, and you can buy anything. But some stores place goods, usually at a low price, the visitor sees attractive conditions, pays money, but the goods do not reach him. He writes to support, calls the phone, but no one answers him. The site will most likely be taken off the Internet after some time, and the wallet to which you sent money will also be deleted. In general, it’s practically impossible to prove anything, especially if you sent money to, where you don’t have to go through verification and don’t enter your existing data. If it’s on a bank card, then there’s a clue; you can write a statement to the police and maybe they can find the owner using the card. Although a statement must be written in any case, it will not hurt, but according to statistics, the case is closed with success very rarely.
In general, to avoid falling for fraudulent online stores, you need to use proven resources like market.yandex. But there may still be unscrupulous sellers who sell low-quality goods, always read reviews about them. Here is an example of such deception in the article
If the online store is unknown to you, then check the information about it, when the domain was registered, if a week ago, then this is bad. What kind of attendance is there? If there are 10 visitors a day, then that’s also bad. In addition, read reviews about the site on the forums; if there are buyers who were not sent the goods, or were sent a bad product, then naturally there is no need to buy anything there.
(Addition: in general, freebies should raise red flags. Any offers about iPhones at half price on pre-order, confiscated laptops at 30% of the cost, the liquidation of a store of branded items, or the urgent relocation of a group of friends with donation of property directly indicate deception and fraud. I have previously purchased for your HONDA CBR600 F4i motorcycle spare parts on ebay, there you also had to check the sellers for possible fraud.Some scammers built up their rating by selling cheap things like handkerchiefs or key chains for 10 cents, and then suddenly offered a car or expensive equipment for a hundred thousand dollars - do you understand the scheme? The buyer looks at the high rating and a large number of reviews, but does not check what products they were based on and ends up hooked by the scammer.
There is also a scheme that may not be related to fraud, but I will mention it in this section. It is associated with dropshipping, that is, the resale of goods from real stores and online sites, but at a price significantly higher than the one at which you can buy this item. There are also nuances there, webmasters are not crazy, they resell everything - from perfume to Viagra and airline tickets. Frankly, there would be no price to put their ingenuity in a good direction.)
Fraud on the Internet in freelancing
For those who don’t know, there are various exchanges on the Internet where one person can order a job, and another will do it and earn money. I even order various freelance work myself and pay real money to those who do it. By the way, you can also register and earn money.
So, there are customers who are sent work, but they do not pay money. They just throw away the performers. This doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
If you work on such exchanges, or want to start working, then in order not to be deceived, you need to read information about the customer and reviews about him. Roughly speaking, if he was registered a year ago, and 55 performers wrote reviews like “Good person, sent the money on time,” then you can safely start working with him, and he will not deceive you.
On the other hand, if a person was registered 2 days ago, he does not have a photo, information about himself is not filled out, and there are no paid works, then it is better not to work with him, or to work on an advance payment. That is, you take 50% from him at the beginning, then show him a screenshot of the work, then take another 50%, and only then send him the work. This is how they made my header on this blog.
(Addition: I contacted freelance specialists several times who posted information about their services on popular forums, for example, searchengines. They had old accounts, a lot of reviews in the topic, but turned out to be simply weak specialists who did not really do their job. I couldn’t leave a review on the topic, since I didn’t have enough rights as a forum newcomer, and the admins openly defended the authors, perhaps the latter shared with them or were simply on friendly terms).
Internet fraud in competitions
It's no secret that a competition is one of the ways to promote your Internet project. Some people attract visitors and increase their income through competitions. But in order to run a good competition, investments are needed, that is, the winners need to be given something valuable that will make them want to take part in the competition. There are, of course, webmasters who do everything honestly, the person wins, they give him the promised reward. But there are other cartoons that seem to launch a competition with good cash prizes, but they already know in advance who the winner will be.
If a webmaster holds a competition on a blog with the rules “Whoever sends me the best banner will earn $1000,” and he himself will be the jury of this competition, then I would not participate. The problem is that a blogger can simply go freelance, order a very good banner and in the end not give anyone any money, but say, Anatoly Petrovich won and show his banner.
And if you take the same competition, but the rules are slightly different, for example, the webmaster says that the winner will be chosen by a program of randomly generated numbers, then you can safely participate here, since fraud is excluded.
In any case, competitions also need to be analyzed; if you yourself look at the rules and understand how you can cheat here and not give prizes, then the creator of the competition also understands this and can easily act dishonestly.
(Addition: I used to participate in trading competitions, these are competitions on demo accounts where you had to earn the most money on Forex in a day or week. The winners received cash prizes or prize accounts from which they could withdraw profits without restrictions. Your first deposit in I won $600 (non-withdrawable) in trading competitions, you can take part without investing your funds in. I earned and withdrew about $5,000 from my competition account.
Fraud on the Internet on SMS subscriptions
Suppose you need to download some good paid program or information product from the Internet, you go to Google, find this program and the big green “Download” button. You are happy that now you will have a great program/book/song for free, you click on the button, and they tell you that in order to remove download restrictions you need to enter your phone number and click “Continue”. You click, and information appears in front of you that a free SMS has been sent to your number with some question, for example, how old are you. So, the most interesting thing is that you need to send an SMS in response in order to answer this question and supposedly confirm how old you are. But when you send an SMS in response, money is debited from your account, and a lot of it. This scam looks like this:
Or there may be another situation: you have already downloaded the file, you want to unzip the archive, but a sign pops up in front of you that the archive is password protected and to enter the password you need to send an SMS to some number.
Remember, if you are asked to send an SMS somewhere, then this is a money scam, and everything that is available can be written off from your account. There can indeed be an SMS confirmation, but it looks different. You receive an SMS with numbers on your phone, you enter them, click continue and that’s it, and various SMS in response, it’s all a scam, don’t see each other.
(Addition: at one time I studied the techniques of gray and black SEO together with doorway developers who, using specialized software, riveted hundreds of such projects, with an SMS scam for those who wanted to download something, get an astrological forecast or something similar. I myself am not like that I was engaged, by the way, although I was in great need of money and was in debt, but my conscience did not allow it. It must be said that a scam on SMS is impossible without the tacit consent of mobile operators who connect these services and then write off this money themselves, dividing the profits from these services with affiliate programs, and those, in turn, with SMS scammers.).
Internet fraud in the information business
Nowadays, a popular way of making money on the Internet is information business. I have nothing against the information business, and if a person has created a high-quality information product, then why not buy it. But the problem is that there are also a lot of scams in the information business. For example, I described on the blog how I made my first million. But there is no easy money. To do this, you need to work hard, and if they don’t tell you this, but offer you a magic pill, then you are being deceived.
In addition, now you can find various magic pills on how to quickly lose weight, build muscles in 2 days, etc. This is all a complete scam, to lose weight or build muscles you need to work hard in the gym. If you are promised a method on how to eat and lose weight, it will not work.
I teach trading myself, but I have almost 12 years of experience in this business, successes and failures gained from personal experience and my own money. And thanks to this, my students avoid those unpleasant situations that I myself found myself in, and this saves them hundreds and thousands of dollars, saves their nerves and allows them not to spend many years on their own fruitless searches.
Internet fraud on dating sites and social networks
Now there are a lot of different dating sites and many people meet there, correspond, meet and even build serious relationships. But the problem is that scammers are often registered on these sites. For example, a person came up with the idea of making money quickly. He registers on some dating site, uploads beautiful photos of girls, or simply copies some women’s profile and starts corresponding with guys. Naturally, other guys don’t know that behind such beautiful women’s photos there is an ordinary computer programmer. And then, after a while, he receives an offer to provide intimate services. He agrees, but says that he only works on prepayment. They send him money in advance, and he deletes the profile. These are the scam schemes on the Internet on dating sites. Naturally, in order not to fall for them, you don’t need to look for prostitutes. Everything is quite simple.
(Addition: there are other ways. The main thing is to inspire trust in a person. I came across the blog of a talented photographer who had been posting photos from various travels for a long time, and then allegedly his phone was stolen, they called him in Rwanda, and the mobile operator billed him for a million rubles and he urgently needs help. Of course, such situations may occur, but what needs to be done in this case? contact law enforcement agencies, write a statement, let them look for the real scammer. Let him pay for his calls. And before asking for money from sympathizers - it is necessary to provide evidence for everyone that the event took place in reality. In that particular case, everything pointed to fraud on the part of the user and a fictitious legend. I also read a story that a fraudster through social networks blackmailed his girlfriend, whom he met recently, while threatened her from someone else's account, wrote about her movements, allegedly followed her and demanded money, but in reality he played the role of a good friend who offered her to fulfill the blackmailer's conditions and give him the money. There is only one recipe here - choose those with whom you communicate and be aware that there are a lot of rabble on social networks).
Internet fraud using phishing
The essence of phishing is to obtain your secret data: access passwords, credit card PIN code, etc. For example, you may receive a password in the mail supposedly from your bank, that your account has now been hacked and in order to restore it, you We must urgently send them the passwords. The attackers obtain the passwords and withdraw all the money.
Or, for example, you receive a letter, supposedly from your hoster, that there is now a dangerous virus on your site, and it needs to be removed urgently, otherwise traffic will begin to fall. You provide an FTP password, and they take over your site.
They may send you information that you won a competition and in order to send you a gift, you need to fill out a form. And in this form you need to provide your credit card number and password.
In general, if you receive a letter in the mail asking for some kind of access, PIN code or something else, then this is a scam. As a last resort, if the letter came, for example, supposedly from the bank, then call the bank and ask. But bank employees never ask you to provide your password.
(Addition: this is the recipe - ignore all such letters and messages. Do not click on dubious links, do not visit low-quality sites, do not store passwords for bank cards and wallets where they can be stolen. Nowadays there is a lot of phishing in the field of cryptocurrency, hackers sleep and think , how to take away his bitcoins or litecoins from another cryptomaniac.)
Internet lottery fraud
You may receive a letter in your mail or phone saying that you have won a lottery, won a competition, or something else, and in order for them to send you a gift, you must send a few dollars for the transfer. You send money, but of course you don’t receive a gift.
If you participated in any competition, then the gift is sent, as a rule, at the expense of the company; if they ask you to send money in advance, then this is a scam, don’t be fooled.
(Addition: at one time, my colleague received a notification in the mail that he had won a certain amount of money, as an option - there were relatives abroad who left you an inheritance. Correspondence begins and you are asked to send money to some account for the execution of a power of attorney , lawyer's fees, etc. Of course, this is a scam. But someone is biting. The recipe is this: ignore all such letters and messages).
Internet fraud based on false charity
You've probably received messages many times on social networks that you urgently need money for an operation, a child is dying, or something like that. Yes, I don’t argue, there are people who really need help, but in most cases such an ad is created by a scammer and writes his bank card number there. You think you are helping a child cure cancer, but in reality you are feeding a scammer. In general, if you have a desire to donate money, then of course you need to do this, but not through social networks or even through volunteers, but it is better to send money directly to the patient’s card. If the card number was said on TV in some TV show, but of course it is correct.
(Addition: I also used to help volunteers and transfer money via the Internet. Then I was faced with the fact that the sports equipment I bought for the orphanage were not needed when I called directly to check. Some scammers use people’s compassion to deceive. Even parents of a sick child can use the funds received for their own purposes, I have also seen this. Now I am transferring money to a children's fund established by a bank, which, in addition, also pays all administrative expenses from its own pocket, so that 100% of the collected funds actually go to the treatment of children. And Many foundations, by law, can spend 25% of what they collect on their own needs, which they use, providing for themselves and their needs at the expense of others. I don’t even take part in promotions in shopping centers when portly women or model-looking girls ask to buy diapers for children or food for dogs - it is not known where these goods will go later).
Internet fraud on hacking electronic wallets, Internet hacking
The most dangerous method of fraud on the Internet, from which no one is immune, is hacking your electronic wallet or account (for example, on a cryptocurrency exchange). Now there are a lot of hacks and hacker attacks in the crypto industry, since the Bitcoin rate is very high, and few people have an understanding of how to safely store cryptocurrency. To prevent your wallet from being hacked, follow the basic security rules described in the article
- Do not give email from payment systems to anyone.
- Change passwords regularly, both for mail and for payment systems themselves. Passwords must be complex and consist of various numbers, small and capital letters, and not 1234.
- Connect all security systems that exist in payment systems. These are various SMS confirmations, IP control, etc.
- Regularly scan your computer for viruses and remove them.
- Clear your browser cache and cookies regularly.
(Addition: once a virus crept into my computer, bypassing the antivirus, and as soon as I received webmoney, it was a salary of 800 WMZ, the virus turned off Windows, a blue screen appeared, it took several hours to rearrange it, and when I connected, it turned out that there was no money they are no longer in the wallet and they were transferred several times between other wallets. The claim to WebMoney did not lead to anything - they answered - contact the investigative authorities).
Internet fraud involving the creation of fake resources
For example, there is a popular site where you can quickly take out loans online or invest your money. But attackers can register a similar domain and make exactly the same design and personal account. At first glance, almost nothing is noticeable. You invest your money to earn interest, but as it turns out, you were deceived by scammers and you will never see your money again.
In general, to avoid being deceived in such a cunning way, always check the domain name. Similarly, they can steal your login and password, creating clones of popular resources, after which they will begin to select combinations on all sorts of payment services and systems.
Fraud on the Internet via mail/email
Many scams are committed through letters sent to your mailbox. Just above there were examples of how inexperienced users can be scammed. But at the end of 2018, I registered a domain for a new blog and received the following letter a few days after registration:
The scammer got hold of my email and offers to pay for a certain service, without which supposedly my new domain will not be included in search engines. The wording is vague, he doesn’t even seem to demand money, but offers to deposit it in order to complete the “registration”. Pay attention to the postal address from which this idiot sent his letter - he didn’t even think of disguising it as a trust resource. That is, you must understand that spam that comes to your mail does not have to be read and clicked on links, agreed to dubious offers or believed everything that is written there. If we are talking about fraud against webmasters, then on Search I recently read a story that a certain admin received a letter allegedly from lawyers from the USA stating that his domain violates some rights and trademarks and should be immediately transferred to third parties, otherwise he faces a fine of $100,000. The man got really scared and started asking people on the forum about what he should do. I’ll say this - if you are intimidated, let them come to us, and we will act like Alexander Nevsky, who said that “Whoever comes to us with a sword will die from it!”
conclusions
To protect yourself and your loved ones from losing money, time and health as a result of being deceived by scammers, you need to know the methods and techniques they use. Now you know. However, this is not enough. Introduce your loved ones to this information, share the article on social networks and write in the comments about your positive or negative experience. Your information will help many people avoid trouble.
Best regards, Dmitry
A sucker can be called a person who wants to receive many different benefits, but does not spend a lot of work, money, or effort on it. As a result, the loser not only gets nothing, but, on the contrary, loses a lot of money, effort and time. And thanks to their greed and desire for quick and easy enrichment, suckers often become targets of practical jokes or fraud.
How to breed a sucker: options
It’s quite simple to breed a sucker: promise him fabulous riches at minimal cost. This could be something akin to the Field of Miracles from the well-known fairy tale “Buratino”. By the way, it was probably not in vain that this field was located in the country of Fools.
Currently, there are a huge number of schemes for scamming suckers out of money that are thriving on the Internet. Let's take a closer look at some of them.
Trick a sucker: magic wallets
There are often advertisements for magic wallets on the Internet. All that is required to earn money is to transfer certain amounts of money to these wallets and enter your Yandex wallet number at the end of the list. As the authors of such advertisements promise, very soon a real money “rain” will fall on your wallet.
How to cheat a sucker: financial pyramid
By creating a financial pyramid, its owner clearly understands that the investors' money will bring him huge profits. But the loser believes that he can get rich by investing money in a pyramid. And there are quite a few such financial pyramids on the Internet. This is due to the fact that in this case the recipient of the funds can remain anonymous, making it difficult to trace the financial flow. As a result, bringing the founder of an online financial pyramid to criminal liability is quite problematic.
Breeding a sucker: seminars on learning how to make money
Various seminars on “doing business” or “quick ways to make money” mostly present cunning schemes for taking money from suckers. Most often, at such seminars, well-known Carnegie books are retold to everyone. After finishing the seminar, its participants are offered to enroll in school - higher school - college - university - academy to continue their studies. And at the same time, each level of training costs more and more. As a result, the loser wastes his time and a lot of money, receiving practically nothing in return.
