Step by Step Tutorial to Avoiding Work at Home Scams

At some point during your internet adventure, you will want to make money. This relates especially to stand-alone moms, as well as people who have alot of spare time. Making money online is possible,but you have to be very careful. 99% of money making opportunities are pure scams, and their only goal is to rip you off. After all, if all of them worked, how many people would be making a fortune online already? But they don`t. In fact, a very small percetnage of people, 3-5 %, make a good living online.

So, here`s a step by step tutorial to avoiding Work at Home scams.

1. Look at the quality of information and design of the Work at Home opportunity. If the website template is nice and clean, that speaks alot about the owners. If the design is ugly and the text is unreadable, exit the website.

If they can`t take care of the simple things like website design, how can you expect to make money working at home with them ? Now, look at the quality of information. Do they explain the work at home opportunity in details, or do they just put some lists of benefits ?

This is crucial, you want to know the exact steps on how you will be making money from home. The information has to be very understanable, no technical mumbo-jumbo. If they promise you millions in a first few months, exit. It`s a scam. The info has to be very realistic, as this will show you that they mean business. Don`t expect the " $1000/day push-button" job. It doesn`t work that way. You`ll actually have to work from home.

2. The second suspicious thing you should be looking after, is whether the service asks for money up front. Just scroll to the bottom of a web page to see the "Order" button. If you see it, run. They are probably wolves in the sheep`s clothing.This type of scam is very common, and popular, because they make you think they are actually serious about giving you the opportunity to make money, by requesting money up-front. Don`t fall for that. However, you can consider paying them money only if the service is about you working for them. If you have to work alone by following some info, exit the website. It`s a scam.

3. The last thing you should do is the most important one: find the information about the Work at Home opportunity from the independent sources. This is a crucial step, as it will reveal the true colors of the service you`re after.

There`s simply no better way of finding out about the quality of the Work at Home opportunity than from the good old word of mouth. So how do you find this out from others ?

Go to Google and write: "SERVICE review"

"SERVICE scam"

"Is SERVICE a scam ?"

"scam.com SERVICE"

Just be sure to replace the SERVICE with the actual Work at Home opportunity. You can use the quotation marks to search for the exact phrase, but in that case, change the phrase to make it more realistic.

After that, simply repeat the process on Yahoo Search, as well as the MSN search. Don`t be lazy, as this can spare you precious time by eliminating Work at Home scams at the very beginning.

Whenever you stumble upon a new Work at Home opportunity, be sure to follow this step by step process, and I guarantee you won`t get scammed. The internet is full of wolves in sheep`s clothings, so stay on your guard.

Slammin - A Primer For Almost Spam - Free E-Mail

Like millions and millions of others I work and play in cyberspace, the Internet, the World Wide Web. Like millions and millions of others because I do I have electronic mail, or e-mail.

Like millions and millions of others because I have e-mail I received, daily, unsolicited, unwanted e-mail.

Junk mail.

Spam.

Unlike millions of others who regularly find their in-boxes crammed with fraudulant offers for bigger this and lower that and sigh in apparent resignation I don't tolerate spam because I don't like having my connect time and bandwidth wasted.

Until about a year ago I was receiving upwards of 5,000 pieces of spam a day. So I decided to declare war on spam. Today, I receive less than one piece of spam into my in-box per month.

How I did this, how I won the war against spam is easy, surprisingly and relatively simple. Anyone can do it, and if everyone followed the information offered herein spammers might just stop what they are doing.

1. Get a free, throw-away e-mail account.

In order to keep spam from reaching your in-box you need to know that doing so is akin to fighting a war. In war you need a line of defense. Your first line of defense against spam is a filter of sorts: A free, throw-away e-mail account. You can get one from Yahoo, Hotmail, Juno, etc.

Set up this account and get ready. I can almost guarantee that within 72 hours you will have spam in your in-box at your free, throw-away account. But that's okay. Because once you establish this line of defense you can start fighting spam more readily and effectively.

2. Mung the e-mail address for your free, throw-away account.

Spammers are not only known for being nuisances, corrupt, and immoral, but lazy. If they had to literally surf the World Wide Web and one-by-one harvest e-mail addresses for their spam lists they probably wouldn't be spammers. Of course, they don't have to this because they have what are autobots or spambots: Software programs created with a singular purpose in mind: To surf the Web and harvest addresses they can then compile for use in sending out their spam.

How do they find these addresses? Some times these autobots and spambots are programmed to visit guest books located on personal web sites, message boards, web logs (blogs), topic specific lists, etc. There they collect addresses unaware parties have posted and send them home to be used in spamming.

If you decide to post an e-mail address to a guest book on a personal web site, a message board, a blog, or a topic specific list use your free, throw-away e-mail address. And mung it.

I know: Some people don't know what it is to 'mung', so a basic explanation: What you are doing when you mung your e-mail address is making it unusable for a spambot or autobot to collect. And since spammers tend to be lazy it is unlikely they will take the time to unmung addresses they have received.

There are several ways to mung your e-mail address, but two things to keep in mind when doing so: Don't use the '@' sign when munging or the '.'.

This may sound confusing but it really isn't. Here's a sample of before and after:

Before: JohnDoe@123.com

After: JohnDoe[at]123[dot]com

See the difference? And when you do this you basically discourage a spambot or autobot from harvesting your e-mail address.

Another example:

JohnDoe@123.com

JohnDoZ@123.com

You replace 'E' with 'Z' to mung. Replace 'Z' with 'E' to unmung.

3. Add a spamblock to your e-mail address.

As more and more people fight spam spammers, in turn, become more and more determined in their efforts. But you can slow them down considerably with a spam block.

Basically, a spam block is a sophisticated munging of your free, throw-away e-mail address, but is very simple to achieve.

For example:

YourName@example.com

With a spam block introduced it becomes:

YourName@example--REMOVETHIS--.com

Please note: If you decide to add a spam block to your e-mail address, and you should, always put it to the right of the @ sign. Doing this avoids making your Internet Service Provider (ISP) handle undeliverable mail.

Which, incidentially, is what spam basically is.

It is also important to note in your outgoing e-mail--assuming you use your free, throw-away e-mail address to send out-going mail--how to remove a spam blocker so desired people can respond.

The signature line, or sig line, often added at the end of a message is a good place to include such instructions:

"To reply remove '--REMOVETHIS--' from my e-mail address."

Since we are on the subject of how to use your e-mail address when sending mail a few suggestions, especially when it comes to dealing with spam: First, don't give out any e-mail addresses beyond your free, throw-away e-mail address until such time you are certain doing so will result in no spam resulting. If you give out a private e-mail address instead of your free, throw-away e-mail address you will ultimately defeat your war on spam. Second, only give out a private e-mail address once you have established it is not to be shared with anyone without your prior consent.

4. Create an alias address for your free, throw-away e-mail address.

An alias, in plain English, is a nickname for your free, throw-away e-mail address, and, again, is a means of slowing down spammers in their intents. Basically, the function of an alias is to route e-mail. For example, you receive a piece of spam offering you the opportunity to apply for an unsecured credit card with a line of credit of $5,000 dollars. Now common sense should tell you this is a fraud. And that should make you angry. But you can temper that anger with the knowledge that if it goes to the alias it will be routed into the trash and will not be a bother to you, when it comes to wanted e-mail.

Setting up an alias can be relatively easy or may require a measure of effort on your part. It all depends on the Terms Of Service (TOS) your ISP follows. If they allow an alias with your first e-mail account set it up there. If they do not allow an alias on your first e-mail account merely set up a second, free, throw-away e-mail account, making that your alias.

Once you have determined how you will create an alias keep certain things in mind as to how you create the alias: Do not simply copy the e-mail address from your free, throw-away address. Change it slightly or characteristically. For example:

JohnDoe@example.com

JonDoe@example.com

Or:

JohnDoe@example.com

JonDoe1@example.com

5. Establish your actual, private e-mail address.

By this point you have effectively created four lines of defense against spam, and it is quite possible you have seen the amount of spam reaching you reduced dramatically. But be advised: You are not yet done in the battle waged. To reduce the spam reaching you even further you now need to establish an actual, private e-mail address. This is an address you will not give out to anyone until such time that it can be determined they will not give it to anyone without your prior consent. This is an e-mail address that will not be posted to personal web sites, message boards, web logs (blogs), topic specific lists, etc. This is an e-mail address that will not be listed in public directories or databases. Of course, to get such an address requires you pay for it. Paying for an e-mail address may sound like a negative, but there is a positive to it: Frequently, when you pay for an e-mail address you can arrange for your ISP to make it an 'unknown' or unlisted address. That is, an address that is not posted or advertised anywhere unless you so chose to do so.

It is this address you will use to contact others with. It is this address that should be spam free, thanks to the defenses now in place.

Will all of these defenses work? They should. As noted in the beginning of this article I went from thousands of pieces of spam a day to just one a month. If you follow these steps you should also see the amount of spam you receive in your in-box drop as well. And when that happens spammers lose.

So slam 'em.

Staying Safe from Phishing

Your brave anti spam software works hard to defend your inbox from all those messages about enlarging… um… various things. Even more important, your spam buster also helps protect you from less-embarrassing --but more dangerous-- phishing scam emails. But not entirely safe. Just in case a big bad phishing scam does get through to your inbox, it’s important to know how to spot it.

1. Do they handle your money? Then they won’t ask for your info.

The companies that deal with your money can be counted on for a lot of things. Making mistakes on your monthly statement. Talking robotically on the telephone (even if they’re human). Sending you advertisements you don’t want. But one thing they can’t be counted on to do --because they never do it-- is ask for your account information in an email. No company that deals in your finances will ask for your info via email. Ever. Not the bank, not the IRS, and not Paypal.

2. Check that the sender’s email address matches the company’s URL.

Whenever you receive an email from a secure financial organization, such as your bank or the ever-friendly IRS, be sure to check the email over carefully. Is the name of the organization misspelled in the email address, or not included at all? Is the appearance and language of the email official? (Just a hint: a title of “It’s time 4 U to renew UR account!” is a dead giveaway.)

3. Check who’s getting the email. If there’s more than one address, get suspicious quick.

If a message you’ve received has aroused your suspicion, a quick way to check if it’s legit is to take a look at who it’s gone out to. If there’s more than one email address there, they’re probably not who they say they are-- after all, major companies have a privacy policy to follow. Many lazy phishers simply blitz the Net, sending messages to hot_bad_muscles1, hot_bad_muscles2, all the way up to you at hot_bad_muscles2000.

4. Do the email’s claims catch your attention? Check it online.

One way phishing spam works is by trying to scare you into acting quickly. They’re going to delete your account. Or they’re going to kill you. Or they’re going to run over your dog. If the content of an email catches your attention and you feel you must take action, look into it first. The easiest way to do this is to Google a sentence or two from the email. If you find other people online talking about it, it’s garbage.

The big bad phisher will try to get under your skin-- but just delete those suckers right out of your inbox.

5. Stop phishing in its tracks by reporting phishing scams to the company they’re pretending to be.

No major (or, heck, minor) company wants to be impersonated by someone looking to steal their clients’ info and even their identities. While most of them don’t actually care what happens to you (when is the last time your bank manager gave you a hug?), they do care how identity theft makes their company look. So be sure to advise an organization that their customers are being targeted by a phishing spam. They can send out warnings, button down security, and generally work to keep their clients’ info safe.

There are a lot of nasty characters creeping around on the Net. And some careless people do fall into their traps. Don’t be one of them. Instead, up the anti-spam security on your email server, keep your eyes peeled for bogus emails, and delete, delete, delete.

FBI - Chinese Earthquake VIctim Email Donation Scam

Latest news from FBI

The FBI is asking people to beware of e-mails claiming to be raising money to help victims of the recent earthquake in China. Tragic incidents such as 9/11, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Minnesota Bridge collapse, and the Virginia Tech shootings have all prompted individuals with criminal intent to solicit contributions for a charitable organization and/or a good cause.

Some of the Chinese earthquake scam messages claim to be offering free vacation trips to the largest donors and even use fake logos of legitimate online pay services to fool people.

Everyone should consider the following:

- Do not respond to unsolicited (spam) e-mail.

- Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as officials soliciting via e-mail for donations.

- Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited e-mail.

- Be cautious of e-mail claiming to contain pictures in attached files, as the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders.

- To ensure contributions are received and used for intended purposes, make contributions directly to recognized organizations rather than relying on others to make the donation on your behalf.

- Validate the legitimacy of the organization by directly accessing the recognized charity or aid organization's website rather than following an alleged link to the site.

- Attempt to verify the legitimacy of the non-profit status of the organization by using various Internet-based resources, which also may assist in confirming the actual existence of the organization.

- Do not provide personal or financial information to anyone who solicits contributions: providing such information may compromise your identity and expose you to identity theft.

“Scammers and criminals come forward after many of these tragic events and you should be wary of unsolicited requests for money. People should feel free to make donations, just make sure you know who you are dealing with and where the donations are going.

This way you can make sure your money really makes a difference and helps out a needy person, not a greedy criminal," said Special Agent Richard Kolko, Washington, DC.

To receive the latest information about cyber scams please go to the FBI website and sign up for e-mail alerts by clicking on one of the red envelopes.

If you have received a scam e-mail please notify the IC3 by filing a complaint at http://www.ic3.gov/. For more information on e-scams, please visit the FBI's New E-Scams and Warnings web page.

FBI Wi-Fi Security Tips

You’re at the airport waiting for your flight. With time to kill, you’re thinking of connecting your laptop to the airport's Wi-Fi to check your office e-mail...do some personal banking...or shop for a gift for your spouse.

But first, consider this: odds are there’s a hacker nearby, with his own laptop, attempting to "eavesdrop" on your computer to obtain personal data that will provide access to your money or even to your company's sensitive information.

Here's something else to consider: there are 68,000 Wi-Fi "hot spots" in the U.S. (see the graphic below for the top Wi-Fi countries), at airports, coffee shops, hotels, bookstores, schools, and other locations where hundreds or thousands of people pass through every day. While many of these hot spots have secure networks, some do not, according to Supervisory Special Agent Donna Peterson of our Cyber Division. And connecting to an unsecured network can leave you vulnerable to attacks from hackers.

How do hackers grab your personal data out of thin air? Agent Peterson said one of the most common types of attack is this: a bogus but legitimate-looking Wi-Fi network with a strong signal is strategically set up in a known hot spot...and the hacker waits for nearby laptops to connect to it. At that point, your computer—and all your sensitive information, including user ID, passwords, credit card numbers, etc.—basically belongs to the hacker. The intruder can mine your computer for valuable data, direct you to phony web pages that look like ones you frequent, and record your every keystroke.

“Another thing to remember,” said Agent Peterson, “is that the connection between your laptop and the attacker's laptop runs both ways: while he's taking info from you, you may be unknowingly downloading viruses, worms, and other malware from him.”

Businesses that offer free or ad-hoc Wi-Fi often don't know their networks have been breached. Individual victims usually don't realize they've been targeted either until it's too late. That’s why, according to Agent Peterson, there aren't reliable stats on the number of these breaches, although the FBI does periodically receive reports on them. It's also very tough to trace a hack that originates on an open, unsecured network.

Agent Peterson explained that the criminal aspect comes into play once data taken by the hacker is used to commit a crime. If the hacker, armed with your personal or corporate information or access codes, tries to break into a secured network—whether it’s a case of intrusion, identity theft, bank fraud, theft of intellectual property, or any other type of crime—then law enforcement gets involved.

What can you do to protect yourself? Agent’s Peterson’s best advice is, don’t connect to an unknown Wi-Fi network. But if you have to, there are some precautions you can take to decrease the threat:

- Make sure your laptop security is up to date, with current versions of your operating system, web browser, firewalls, and antivirus and anti-spyware software.

- Don't conduct financial transactions or use applications like e-mail and instant messaging.

- Change the default setting on your laptop so you have to manually select the Wi-Fi network you’re connecting to.

Turn off your laptop Wi-Fi capabilities when you're not using them.

- For more basic information on computer security, see our How to Protect Your Computer web page.

These product are rare and in high demand here in United Kingdom, though not long it came to existence, it was introduce to our company by a Malaysian Lady, (Miss Diana), a gemologist in Malaysia, who gave me a sample for test on my last visit to Malaysia. In a moment, I have searched to a conclusive point that this product are specifically found in Malaysia, Meanwhile we can purchase a large amount for supply at an affordable price in Malaysia by a reputable dealer.

The management of (KINGSTONE DYNAMIC GROUP OF COMPANY) has mandated to come over to Malaysia, to purchase the product mentioned above but the issue right now is that I need the correspondence of a reliable partner, who will stand as the Rightful seller of this product (CARBOXY MULTIGEM CLEANSER-XP).

The actual selling price from the dealers in Malaysia is 1,500 British pounds per pack-equivalent to USD $2,800, While it is sold here in United Kingdom at the rate of 4000 British pounds to Geological Companies. Meanwhile I don't want our Company Director to go directly to the dealer because I have quoted the cost to be $5000, and the management agreed with the offered price. My appeal to you is for your assistance, to buy the product from the dealer in Malaysia, and then resale to my company at the stipulated price as stated above.

My Company Director will pay you cash on delivery, thereafter the profit will be shared base on percentage 40% for me, 60% for you. The management is willing to purchase minimum of 20 packs and maximum of 50packs. (Huge profit), Well it will be my pleasure to handle this transaction with you, once again I will not like my company Director to deal or meet with the seller, because of the price I have quoted to my company.

Note that the transaction will continue pending on your co-operation towards this first deal. For more information please do send to me your contact number for easy communication.

Best Regards

Cynthia.

FBI : Mortgage Fraud - New Analysis of a Rising Threat

FBI : Mortgage Fraud - New Analysis of a Rising Threat

Source : FBI

We’ve just released a comprehensive new report on mortgage fraud—now posted in full on this website. And, as you might expect given the downturn in the economy and all the troubles in the lending industry, it isn’t a pretty picture.

The information can get quite technical, with plenty of charts, graphs, and hard numbers. But we invite you to take a read if you’re interested in getting educated on the issue—and on emerging schemes that might impact your own pocketbook.

Among the key findings:

... Mortgage fraud is clearly on the rise. Although there is no central way to track the total extent of the problem, we received 46,717 Suspicious Activity Reports related to mortgage fraud last year—compared to 35,617 in 2006 and just 6,936 in 2003. Only seven percent of these reports documented an exact dollar amount in terms of losses, but even so, the total loss from this seven percent was $813 million. Our caseload has also escalated. By the end of fiscal year 2007, we were handling just over 1,200 mortgage fraud investigations—a 47 percent increase from 2006 and a whopping 176 percent increase from 2003.

... The downward trend in the housing market will continue (see forecasts provided by the Mortgage Bankers Association in the report), providing further incentive for shady real estate industry insiders to look for dishonest ways to turn a profit and growing opportunities for scam artists to prey on vulnerable homeowners.

... The subprime lending crisis is a contributing factor to mortgage fraud, both directly and indirectly. Subprime loans, designed for people with poor or limited credit histories, now represent more than 13 percent of all outstanding loans—double the percentage of five years ago. These high-interest, high-risk loans contributed to the 2.2 million foreclosures filed during 2007, up 75 percent from 2006. The trouble actually began when home prices were rising a few years ago, leading to relaxed lending practices throughout the industry and the exaggeration of assets by borrowers anxious to qualify for loans, both of which contributed to fraud.

... The top 10 hot spots nationwide for mortgage fraud in 2007, carefully mapped from multiple public and private sources, were: Florida, Georgia, Michigan, California, Illinois, Ohio, Texas, New York, Colorado, and Minnesota. The north-central region had the largest share of mortgage fraud, followed by the west and southeast regions.

.. The latest mortgage scams run the gamut: from “builder-bailout” schemes where developers unload excess inventory through financial trickery…to foreclosure rescue frauds that trick homeowners into signing over the deed to their house; from seller-assistance scams that use false appraisals to sell homes…to identity theft that leads to home equity credit lines being opened and drained. See the report for more details.

The report also briefly recounts our proactive response to the problem, including our participation in the Department of Justice's Mortgage Fraud Working Group, through which we are helping to identify large-scale industry insiders and criminal enterprises conducting systemic mortgage fraud...our work in multi-agency mortgage fraud task forces and working groups around the country...and our recent “Mortgage Fraud Summit” to discuss the issue with special agents nationwide.

ALBENDAZOLE OXY SPAM SCAM

This Email Is A Spam Scam - Beware :-

----------------------------------- SPAM - SCAM ----------------------------------
----------------------------------- SPAM - SCAM ----------------------------------


From : Angela Curtis

Subject : Resumes viewed/Part-time Work! - ALBENDAZOLE OXY

Good Day,

I am looking for a dependable individual that I can trust, some one who will be honest enough to carry out a transaction to the best of his/her ability. There has been a high level of demand in our company here in UK for a particular product Called ( ALBENDAZOLE OXY ), it is for the treatment of horse and other animals.

I need someone who can stand as the distributor of this product in Malaysia to supply to our company. I normally travel to Malaysia to purchase this product for my company before my accident. Last week Thursday I receive a notice from my company regarding our monthly purchase. They want our Marketing Director to travel to Malaysia this month to purchase this product. Due to the slow recovery to my ankle problems, this is why I want someone to help me supply to the person that will come to buy while we can get some percentage gain on it.

I am the only one that knows the seller in Malaysia and I do not want our Marketing Director to go directly to the supplier because of the price I have quoted to my company before. The actual selling price from the supplier in Malaysia is ( USD $2,000 = RM6,800 ) but I quoted the cost for my company as ( GBP £4,200 = RM28,140 ).

My appeal to you is for your assistance to get the product from the supplier at RM6,800 then supply to the buyer from our company at RM28,140. You and I will share the profit and I will tell you my account here in the UK where you will send my share.

All I need from you is to consider my situation, to be honest and trust worthy. Your reply is of great importance, all information needed is intact, and all that matters now is your respond if you are interested. Please get back to me with your contact details phone and fax number so that we can have a voice communication. I hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Angela Curtis.

This Email Is A Spam Scam :-

-------------------------------------- SPAM - SCAM ----------------------------------

From : Derek Bittman

Subject : hello from Derek Bittman!!!

Dear Friend,

My name is Sgt. Derek Bittman of The 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, I am serving in Iraq (Mosul) and I will need your assistance to take care of some financial matters for me and of course you will be adequately compensated.

I have to urgently evacuate money the sum of $20,000,000.00 (Twenty million US dollars) clean legal notes and all in US$100 bills out of here to a safe place, having found a secure way to do so.

5 million US dollars (US$ 5,000,000) will be your share for rendering this assistance.

SOURCE OF MONEY:

Some money in various currencies were discovered concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunition at a location near one of Saddam,s old palaces during a rescue operation several months ago and it was agreed by the few of us present that the money be shared amongst us, though this was an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we are taking with our lives in this hell hole.

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_130622.html
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

The above figure was given to me as my share and for several reasons, concealing this volume of cash here has been a big problem/source of distraction to me. I have now found a temporary solution with the help of a lady who is working with an international organization here, She does not know the real contents of the packages used in concealing the funds and must not know rather believes that the packages belong to an Asian American who died in an air raid and before giving up, he trusted me to hand the packages as it is to his business associate in Europe.
One request I will like that you keep this information to yourself. Should you have any reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this mail as any leakage will be too bad for us. I want to have a very peaceful retirement life after my service here and I rely so much on this fortune to provide that for me. If this proposal is acceptable by you, I await your urgent e-mail so we can discuss more.
