• There is a famous fraud these days named as Nigerian frauds sometime. In this kind of scam, you will receive a mail or even SMS on your phone indicating that you have won any kind of lottery of million dollars and you will need to provide some details related to you. If you respond, they will ask your account details and will ask for money as a tax payable. The mail is sent in thousands and some of them become victims. So do not respond these kind of mails or sms and if possible then inform to local authority.
• There are many website who claims to provide you opportunity to earn online, and for this they charge registration fee. You must not consider these kind of websites at all.
• There are many website who ask you to click on ads and claims to provide you a good amount like readbud, but in reality there is no payment even if you reach to the minimum payouts.
• Do not trust on the testimonials of these kind of websites, most of them are written by their own people and could mislead people.


There are number of newer ways these goons are getting to scam and we need to be cautious more here online than our real life. Hope these tips could help you somewhat.
