Fraud and scams have existed since men roamed naked on the planet so it's nothing new. However, what may be news is the development of a strategy that could make people easily identify and prevent scammers from stealing from them. We all know that such a system does not exist. So the best information we can give people is to understand the risks involved in investing their funds, especially in businesses that they know little or nothing about. As a rule, it is better to err on the side of caution. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
