Beware of scams

Within he current economic climate there are a lot of people out there happy to take advantage.

Promises of making Thousands, or even Millions of dollars on the web, free holidays, on-line investment seminars, working part-time.... blah, blah, blah.

Things have moved on since the very simple 'Nigerian Bank Scams' e-mails. More sophisticated methods are now used to suck you in - such as website that appear genuine, banner adverts on reputable websites, paid advertising on google and facebook - it's all designed to make you think you're doing the right thing and that you can get something for nothing. Well guess what - at the end of the day - It's all crap!

Sorry to be so blunt, but if it sounds too good to be true it generally is.

A lot of these things require some sort of up-front financial commitment from you.

Consider this - if it free and easy and you can make millions out of it, why are people selling it on to you? Surely they have already made millions out of the very same idea they are trying to push on you. That being the case why are they so desperate to get our money so they can share the idea...... simple! Because it's a scam!

Simple advise - if you're not sure, say 'no'. If they don't take no for an answer - hang up or block their e-mail address!

You could save heaps!
