HOW TO SPOT AN ONLINE FRAUD SCHEME

Hello there friend. We live in a global village as it is. The internet has become a hub for almost everything you may want and need virtual as it is. The internet has also brought about with it tales of people who have made it big, becoming internet millionaires and even internet billionaires over night! Therefore as any profession or lucrative venture, there are bound to be a line of fraudsters who want to also make a quick buck or quick cash from unsuspecting people. These are the various signs that you should look out for; 

I. Paying before getting information; never pay to get information. most fraudsters out there claim to have a whole knowledge of information, only to want you to input your credit car information before you can access the information. I am not saying that all people who ask you to pay before receiving information are fraudsters. All I am saying is that reputable people who are genuine in what they do, always give out free samples or e-books of their products first. After you browse through it and see it is of value to you, then you can go ahead and buy it. But before you do so, make sure you have googled the name just to make sure it is really a genuine person.

II. Fake causes; with the advent of facebook and emails. Fraudsters have now turned to these areas as a fertile ground for scamming unsuspecting people. They make up fake causes with sad pictures of little children, and then ask you to donate a dollar towards saving the child in the picture.

III. Spam mail asking you to buy directly from them; Various legitimate companies such as eBay and Amazon have been very successful in selling products, goods and services on the internet. They have also attracted fraudsters who see a listed item on the legitimate websites then fake an email to prospective buyers asking them to buy directly from them and most likely for a higher price. This usually disorients the prospective buyer who is swayed by the amount of money he is being offered. He/ she send the product expecting a return on investment, only to be met with a rude shock!

IV. Online automotive fraud; this has swept more than 100million dollars from victims of this fraud scheme. The fraudsters pick pictures of legitimate cars on sale and then duplicate the listing on their own websites at half the price. This will attract a lot of people who may see this as a bargain but end up paying the price in the end.

V Direct mail asking to pay an amount hire than list price; You may get an email concerning an item that you have posted on eBay, offering to pay you 10 times as much as you expect from the sale. This is enough to ring a ‘’fraud’’ bell in your head.

That’s it for now! I hope that helped you in becoming abetter accountant of your online business or money. If you have a question or need information, don’t hesitate to write to me at cashincomes3@gmail.com.

HOW TO GET A WELL PAYING ONLINE JOB

This is the era of the internet or as other people like to refer to it as the dot com century. Almost everything we do involves doing something online. From facebook, where everybody seems to be these days, to watching news and movies online to applying and even working online from the comfort of your home or anywhere where there is an internet connection. You just need a laptop or a computer and you are all set. Here are a few tips on how to get a well paying online job;


1. Prepare your documents well; just because you are looking for a job on the internet or online, does not mean that suddenly you don’t need to present your qualification documents. A job online is just like a job anywhere else, the only difference is that you will be performing it virtually. Therefore if you want to get or qualify for a well paying online job, make sure you have prepared a set of documents that are well arranged. Your prospective employer will ask you to attach and send it to them via email. If you are an artist, you will be asked for your portfolio, other people even make their own web pages where they post their resume and just send a link to their prospective employer. You can also use this method if you can.


2. Polish up on your skill sets; If an employer is going to pay you well for working for him/her, he/she is going to need the most qualified person he/she can get out there so as to give him value for his/her money. Therefore you should always be upgrading your skill sets so that you prove your worth to your employer and ask for a good salary for the work done. If you have a copy of past work done, it is good to send or attach links to them so that your prospective employer can see for his/herself.


3. Use credible job application websites; This is very important because there are a set of fraudsters out there who are just out to get your money and run with it. If you encounter a job application website that asks for money in return for your application, your scam alert should be high. No one, not even the highly paid jobs on the internet require you to pay so that you send in your application. Of course there are some that will charge you to send you updates on job notifications, but there are also many free websites out there that will require no cash from you to send you updates on your email.


4. Observe professionalism; you should be professional in whatever you do. There are many people who do not take the time to get various curriculum vitae formats out there and also do not check their applications for grammatical mistakes before they send it. If you want to get a high paying online job, you must be prepared to be very professional in your job application.


5. Use specific keywords in your job application; If you are going to use search engines online to search for various job applications, you might as well as be very specific on what you are looking for. If you are a cartoon artist, don’t type ‘’artist’’ on the Google search bar, be specific and type in ‘’cartoon artist job’’ on the search bar so that you get a list of the most relevant placements on the internet.
