Fraud is everywhere in the internet.. Here's a tip on how to prevent fraud in buying Online Stuff..

1) Ratings. On this does not say "Who has more" or "Who has the greatest percentage." I mean that is a double-edged sword. Not always a wealth of skills means excellent service. Because if you buy a MP4, but positive ratings month break you and give you turn, you can not reflect this in the rating. What you should do is read opinions buyers (of course, is also significant amount and percentage)

2) Is it so sure the Cash?. Insurance is more reliable than "Pay before." But Cash does not guarantee anything, because the mail does not allow you to open the package without no pay. And if you open the package of pay and then there is what you want, the postman can not return the money because you really do not know if he had not applied for what is inside. Take your warranties for reimbursement.

3) Pay before. Note that the seller has a line number LANDLINE, where you know you can locate it. Before telling you to pay it, I advise you to say "You're going to send a commissions," and you all of your data. That way you'll know if the Seller tries to hide or not. Then yes, you say that you should not prefer and shipping. But since you got all your data.

4) Types of products. If the products are expensive or fragile, you can ask the seller to obtain insurance for shipping (you must pay). Because if the product arrives at its destination ROTO not be responsible or the seller or the mail. The seller must do it legally, but avoids problems. Requests the signing of the insurance.

5) Credit Card. Each time you enter your credit card on the Internet, find out that the address bar of your browser (Internet Explorer, Mozzilla, or otherwise), say to the "https" (the "S" is the most important). If you say just "http", do not enter your card under any point of view.

Apart from other kinds of legal actions that will occur as a result of the joint action of the, judicial, industrial and consumer associations as a first step has been made public the list of 10 most fraud frequently occur in Network , To warn Internet users not to be fooled.

These are:

1. Auction fraud. After sending the money to be awarded in the auction, you receive a product whose characteristics are not consistent with the pledges, and even a product that has no value. Very common in open market, for this is to use common sense, check the reputation, the comments of other users and use the payment system market.

2. Scams ISP (Internet Service Providers) is quite common for customers expert little sign contracts online without having read the clauses, which can be found tied to a long-term contract that can not leave if not paid heavy penalties for early termination. Another common case is that ISPs who register domain names to make their own name, to be coupled with customers who can not leave because their service would lose their domain name.

3. Design / Promotions websites usually occur in unexpected charges the phone bill for services that were never asked or hired.

4. Abuse of credit card is required number of credit card for the sole purpose of verifying age, and then perform it difficult cancellation charges.

5. Multilevel Marketing Network Pyramid or is promised to make much money selling products or services, either one or the vendors that we recruit, but our clients are never really the end, but other dealers, so that the chain is broken and only earn first entered it.

6. Business Opportunities and Scams such as "Work at home" is offered the opportunity to work from home be your own boss and teaching plans for high income. Of course it is necessary to start investing in the purchase of any equipment or products that are never out.

7. Investment plans to get rich quick promises of high returns and financial predictions with absolute certainty on foreign markets tend to cover up fraudulent operations.

8. Fraud in travel or vacation packages to sell travel and accommodation of a high quality service that really give you at your destination, and may also charge for concepts that had not been hired.

9. A telephone fraud quite widespread in the sites of sex is to ask you to download a program and install it on your computer that allows you to enter free on the web. But what happens is that, without your knowledge, the program marks a number of international payments (type 906 in Spain) through which you access the web, so while you enjoy viewing photos and videos your bill telephone increases speed.

10. Prescription fraud in health recommendations miracle cure for any disease are often found in Network , Most of them without any medical support or control of health authorities, so apart from being a scam, since they do not produce the promised results, they may even pose a risk to the health of the patient. As you can see, there is not much difference between what they do online fraudsters and what has been done in real life for many years. The only difference is that Network things can be done without the face, so the risk is less and go much easier. The recipe to avoid falling into the hands of these sinister characters: buy only from trusted sites, and flee from the plague of those who did not even give their real address or telephone number.
