The internet is a crammed and overcrowded marketplace just like the real shopping center or fairs.The only difference is that if someone wanted to steal your money then they would have to physically take it out of your purse,handbag,or pocket.On the internet all they do is sit at a computer,sometimes thousands of miles away and trick you into emptying your bank account and possibly life savings. Now you too can "FIGHT BACK":Follow these simple steps :
1.If you get an email from your bank or an online retailer asking for your personal details never answer it.Phone them up ,go to the URL .
2. never click on a link in an email.right click ,go to properties and view the senders details.
3. Avoid scams like "You have been chosen to win a car" or "you are the 100th customer".Ask yourself-when did I enter any competition or give my details to this organisation?.
4 Ignore unsolicited mail,penpal letters,double your money tips,make £14,000 per week success stories etc...
5 Check whether a website is genuine or not:go to http://www.spoofstick.com/ and download a free bit of software that will help you detect a real website from a fake one..
