What is an E-scam?

An E-scam is a loose term I use to describe any type of internet scam. E-scams can be found practically anywhere on the net, some are easy to identify, others are not. The obvious ones usually have the words "get rich quick", "make $1000 a day for life", or other such eye grabbing phrases. These phrases are false and it is just trying to trick you into buying their product.

Different types of E-scams?

Some are easy to spot, others are not. First I'll start with some of the old obvious ones, which you probably already know about. Any email you receive from the president of tim buck 2 is not legit. No one is going to forward you 20 kazillion dollars to avoid U.S tax deductions or whatever it is they are stating they want to do. What they will do is clear out your bank account, run up your credit card bill and not even say thankyou. These are becoming rarer, although they still happen.

Pyrimid scams are the oldest trick in the book. Simply put do not send money to someone when no product is for sale. Not only will they not work, they are illegal and you CAN and very possbily WILL be prosecuted for participating in these.

I bet any of you who have tried to make money online have seen sites selling get rich quick ebooks, Business in a box packages, and other so called life changing products. The only thing that is true about all this is they yes, they are life changing, you will spend the rest of your life regretting falling for these scams. Yes I have been scammed numerous times and it is not fun. Most of these ebooks can be found freely on the net. Now I'm not saying buying ebooks is a bad thing, just the ones which promise to make you rich with no effort. Be very careful when buying ebooks as the information within them is normally widely available online.

Paid to click, paid to read, paid to post.
