This is a article on types of scams I have seen people use on the internet to try and get money out of people.

There are many people at this present moment in time looking for a way to make money since they cannot find work but still need a source of income but there are people on the internet targeting these people. There are quite alot of scams on the internet the most common ones are paid to click sites offering a few dollars a click, this is not viable as the company will not be covering its cost of advertising. I know for a fact that ones offering a few dollars a click do not pay out as i requested payout a few months ago and am still waiting.

Another scam currently operating on the internet is where  a person from a country like Nigeria offers you a job putting a cheque in the bank you take 10% for yourself and send it back. The problem with this is that the cheques they send are FAKE! Then you get stuck with a frozen bank account and have to explain to the bank that you did not realise it was a fake cheque.

There are also people in chat rooms pretending to be girls and saying that they will come and visit a guy but they cannot afford to travel so if the guy sends her the money she will come see him. I know this happen to a few people but being honest i would never give money to someone i do not know.

These are the scams that i have been a victim off and know people have experienced i hope this article will stop them happening to you.
