Are You Looking For Opportunity Online? Ten Things to Keep in Mind by Peter Mangini

Did you know that every year there are thousands of new shams added to the previous years shams and the year before that!

What I mean is that when we consider the number of new schemes this year, an uncertain number well into the thousands, the total is added to all of the previous years all added together, the years new shams don't disappear at the end of the year but continue on into the next year, etc.

So there are way more shams online and off than we could ever possibly count accurately. The best way to stop schemers is to be aware of their tactics.

However, there are 10 things to keep in mind, memorize them if you can, so that you can avoid the many sham traps that are set online and offline and keep yourself, family and loved ones safe and well aware of the criminal schemes set to victimize them.

Stay Alert and remember these things to stop schemes:

1. If someone that you've never met face to face wants you to send money to them don't do it! It doesn't matter the method, whether it be in a wire transfer, a prepaid debit card, or a gift card which is as good as cash and can't be traced.

2. When you get unsolicited emails don't open the attachments or click on any links. Links can download malware onto your computer and steal all of your info, you could even become a victim of identity theft.

3. Criminals can create official looking seals, fonts, and every other detail and they can send emails, texts, or popups online and fool almost anybody that's not paying attention.

4. When you're making online purchases make sure that the transaction is secure.

The website should have "https" in the URL and a small lock icon on the address bar and even with that the site can still be setting you up to overcharge or take advantage of it's unsuspecting visitors.

5. Be very cautious of any one that you deal with online because schemers and opportunists really are everywhere.

They use dating sites, Craigslist, all social media, forums and many other sites and avenues to reach their targets, or catch their prey for each day.

If only they spent their time doing something honest that benefited society instead of lying, deceiving and stealing from unsuspecting people.

Beware because they can quickly make you feel comfortable and maybe even become a romantic or business partner.

6. If someone contacts you unsolicited whether it's over the phone or online through email or any of the social medias like Twitter, Facebook, etc., or even at your front door.Never share your personal information, things like banking and credit card information, social security number, your birth date, or insurance policy number.

7. Schemers will very often try to pressure you to act immediately or they'll place a deadline or a sense of urgency on you to cut through your reasoning powers.

They do this so you don't have time to talk with a trusted friend, family member or financial advisor. Beware, don't be pressured to act immediately.

8. Make sure that you always use a secure traceable transaction when you pay for everything from goods, services, taxes and debts.

9. Always work with businesses that have proper identification.

You can always check them out and see reviews of what other customers have to say about them.

If there are no or only a couple few reviews ask yourself why... and why choose someone with few reviews when you can feel more secure with another that has many more positive reviews?

10. Be aware and cautious about what you post and share on all of the different social medias like Facebook and Instagram, etc.

Don't get to cozy or friendly with anyone to quickly as many times you won't see warning signs until after a while and if you're already hooked you might have a hard time getting away with your finances still in your possession.

How to Quit Your Job in the Most Professional Way Possible

I ended my college baseball career over text. Granted, I didn’t really see eye-to-eye with my coach, and at the time, I didn’t exactly feel like giving him the courtesy of an in-person meeting. But, still, I had respect for him: he gave me the opportunity to continue my baseball career after high school, which lead to some of my fondest college memories. If I could do it all over again, I would have told him face-to-face that I was leaving the team. But even though I quit the team almost four years ago, the thought of facing my coach in person and telling him that I’ve decided to move on from the team still makes me nervous.  After all, he invested in my growth as a baseball player, and joining his team was one of the big reasons why I decided to attend my college. We didn’t have the best relationship, but I still felt anxious and guilty about leaving the team. Use these free cover letter templates to save time. Regardless of the situation you were in when you left your ...
