Money Scams

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

There isn't one person who doesn't
want to make money. Or, at least,
have more of it coming in than
going out of the door.

So, a few people will take
advantage, of that fact, through
money scams.

Money scams crawl in
through many forms, flavors.
They, all, have one thing in
common, and that's an
emphasis on how you can
make lots of money.

Recession, rising gas
prices, and sky rocketing
grocery bills can make it
harder to resist money
scams. It's just a trick
to steal your money,
pull you in.

Money making schemes
fatten the pockets of
those who thought them
up. The schemes are
appealing, looks
reasonable, profitable.

The scam artists pride
themselves on convincing
you it's harmless, and the
tons of money to be made.

"What can it hurt?" You'll
say. "I only have to put a
little out.

Follow this rule, anything,
anyone, that sounds, appears,
too good to be true, he, she,
or it is.

Move in the opposite direction.
Disconnect yourself from he,
she, or it.

You'll hear someone, here-there,
claim to have made money.
However, that statement doesn't
take into account the thousands
that lost money.

My opinion, chain letters
are a scam too. They are
misleading, and should be
avoided.

The binary scheme from
South Africa is a new one.
It's operated via the Internet.

The basis is a person must sell
a product to two other people.
The two other people repeat
the process. Each new person
keeps the scam going.

The commission is from sales.

It's another Pyramid Scheme
to be avoided.

Con artists have no shame
in stealing your money through
scams. They have come to the
Internet for that purpose. Age,
race, or health will not stop
them. Only, you can.

I've, personally, received
e-mails from scam-mers, and
deleted them.

I've come across people
asking for money to help a sick
family member, deleted. A
few mentioned leaving me money,
deleted.

Why would a stranger leave me
money? How does this person
know me? Why pick me to send
money to? My guess, it was a
ploy to establish communication
with me. Eventually, me sending
money for fees or the like would
have come up. In short, deleted
it.

The best course of action
when receiving money scams
via snail-mail or e-mail is to
trash them.
