SCAMS

A scam is a comfidence game (the old shell game) where fraud is perpetrated on some unsuspecting client
or buyer for monetary gains. These are not new but the Internet has caused the old P.T. Barnum phrase -
"There is a sucker born every minute " to "every few seconds"


Until the world comes up with the technology and/or enforceable laws to stop these scam artists, You need
to be aware that these scams are all over the Internets and you should make use of the tools available to 
throughly check them out before investing.

It is sad, that the population preyed upon the most are the ones that can least afford it - the poor, unemployed
and the elderly. I think the world would be better off if scammers caught perpetrating crimes against these individuals (similar to hate crimes) should be punished by having their sentences doubled. It is sad that all we can do is slap them on the wrist or discard their emails when we let millions blow away because of lost fines and penalties. Oh well if Enron, World.com and Tyco can do it - can't anyone. Maybe if they cant turn a buck with you they will find better means of employment.


Before you invest in any opportunity whether it is a work from home position or an unsuspecting inheritance from Uncle Bill    - DO YOUR HOMEWORK

Some of the best places to check are as follows:

www.google.com - keeps a updated lisiting on perpetrators. In many cases all you need to do is place the company name in the search box and it will show a list of complaints against them.

www.scambusters.com This is an excellent network which also keeps an updated lisitng of perpetrators.
They often have scams listed here than no one else has information on.

www.BBB.com - better business bureau - is also a good source of scam perpetrators and one of the first
reporting agencies.

http://www. state. gov - many states have agencies that list and warn citizens of scammers and has valuable information free to the public. 


When I invest or buy from amyone I have not dealt with before - I always do my homework by using these sites. They are free and you are always encouraged to asks questions. 


At our web site www.PBSJRW.com we are asking all users to report scammers or perpetrators so we can update our files and then report our findings to the above agencies. Yes we have also been scammed and know the feeling - hopefully others can benefit from other's mistakes. This information will be forwarded to the other agencies.


If we all keep a due diligence on the Internet in regards to scams amd perpetrators they will eventually leave since the clouds of the rich and famous will soon evaporate. Please help us to help you.

FAMOUS SCAMS STILL BEING USED TODAY

The Nigerian flim flam - I have seen so many scams comming out of this country - it must be a safe haven for perpetrators. DO NOT even open any email that has the word "Nigeria" anywhere in the document. It is a scam.
Opening them can also open a Trojan horse virus where a lot of your condifential information is at risk.

Attachments - Do not open any document attachements unless you know the sender. Not only are a lot of scams sent this way.  

False Loan and False employment offers

Many times this info is used to perpetrate identity theft. A good way to tell if they are legitimate
is to set up a dummy corporation and or banker and express they contact them. If they are scammers,
you will never here form them again. DO NOT release any personal information over the internet. If
you are convinced they are legitmate - use the phone or US Mail service where crimes are not tolerated.
This is also a favorite scam used by foreign users. They will provide (or so they say) millions to
you in working capital or loans provided you pay the transfer taxes or fees before hand. If it is not deducted
from the proceeds then it is a scam.

Buy my book " How to get rich on the internet" so I can get rich. Some may debate that these are not scams
since something is offered. Ok just remeber it is the book your buying and no guarantees. In fact - I would
not invest in any item that did not include a written 30 day guarantee. In order for these sales to 
be legitimate - they have to be as intersted in your success as you are (a win-win transaction). In most case
they say write a book like mine, copywrite it and then find a sucker like you to sell it to. Note: Price does  
not dictate whether the offer is legit or not since 80% of these "deals" are under $100 - they are counting
on Internet volumes to make up for the low price amd since no one got hurt big time that this will go unreported.

I have seen a few ebooks that are good. Provided you have the knowledge and expertise to put it into practice,
reports for individuals who have the expertise to use them. We have ebooks for sale at our website - but none that are classified as " get rich quick" and the majority are technical reports. 

What grandma would sometimes say  "If it looks to good to be true - then  it probably isn't."  

If I was getting rich selling anything why would I show you. No one relishes competition. The last thing to consider are the numbers - there must be millions of users on the internet - all over the world - so why are you the lucky one to win this prize unless there is a scam that goes with it.

The False Loan or Working Capital

Scam artists promise you funds and all you need to do is pay the taxes or fees usually upfront. If you can not deduct the fees from the proceeds then it is a scam.

THE REMINGTON BAIT AND SWITCH

This scam is normally perpetrated on firms looking for working capital. They say one thing before the get your fee to  put a package together for the investment public, and then say something completely dofferent after the get your funds. Such as they need more data which is almost impossible to provide. If you deal with these kind of people ask about guarantees (even of only 30 days). If they wont - you shouldn't either.


The Fake Bequest or Western Union Scam

Here they say you have come into a lot of money for whatever reasom. If you can not deduct fees from proceeds - it is a scam.

The charitable or "I am sick can you help me " scam.

These low lives are trying to play on your emotions - there are tons of approved IRS charities out their who can either take a contribution or assist them if needed. Have them contact these agencies.

Your credit card or Bank info is incorrect scams.

This is Philsing game to rob you of your personal identity. No bank or credit agency sends request of this type by email - they use the US mails or telephone you if there is a problem.  AGAIN NEVER release your personal name, address, phone number. occupation etc. unless you want the whole world to know it over the Internet.


We will be the first to admit we still see new scams everyday. If you feel we have missed one - please send us an email or write us at the address below - all inquiries will be acknowledged.
