With the short time I have been with these forum, I have come across different story on how people have been scammed, Almost all the story so far talks about their experience with scammers on social medias, forgetting that they are other ways or strategies on how people are been scammed.so I decided to list the various strategies on Which scammers practice on, in other to scam people in my own experiences so far.

Online shopping scam__ paying for what you ordered or shopped and not getting it, and also pretending to sell a product  just to get your credit card or debit card information.

Bank credit card scam or telephone scam__ Scammers send emails or text messages that appear to be from your bank claim that your account is having issues  and request that you verify your details by sending them you pin on the front and back of your credit or debit card.

Employment and job scam__ Scammers offering you job with good salaries or large investment returns and at the end asking you to pay some amount of money before getting the job.


To an extent, in my own very perspective, those that fall victim to "employment and job scam", are as a result of their greed and impatient. Like how can someone call or text you for a job opportunity you have never in your life attempted to apply not to talk of applying. But out of  greed due to the juicy benefits the scammers might likely cook up as things one will stand to benefit from such a eutopia job, most persons wouldn't even stand to have a second thought asking themselves. How, when and where did I applied for such a job? What are the tendencies for it being a scam?

At least such question obtain out of self_control and with rationality there's a 90% of possibility of understanding where things are going to, and save oneself from being scammed.

If i may ask, is it not even foolish to pay for a job position  you have not even occupied?
