Scammers’ Deceptive Tactics Targeting Seniors: A Closer Examination

Scammers’ Deceptive Tactics Targeting Seniors: A Closer Examination

1. Preying on the Socially Disconnected

scammer targeted people


Fraudsters often zero in on elderly individuals who live in solitude. Uncovering this information can be as simple as perusing obituary notices or analyzing social media profiles. These perpetrators are well aware that those who are socially detached are less inclined to consult with a family member who might notice something amiss.

Feelings of loneliness or grieving over a loss significantly heighten the susceptibility of older adults to financial deceit. In times of sorrow and struggle, it’s all too easy to fall into conversation with a seemingly amiable voice on the other end of the line. The lure of monetary gain or the promise of free prizes can be especially enticing under such circumstances.

How to Safeguard Your  Money From Scammer:

Should an interaction with an unfamiliar person via phone, email, or text leave you feeling uneasy or unsure, refrain from taking further steps. Instead, reach out to someone you trust—a family member, a friend, a neighbor, or a representative from your local senior center. Share your experience with them and seek their counsel. Discussing the situation can help both you and your confidant spot warning signs before any harm is inflicted.

One of the most crucial actions you can take is to encourage everyone to have a strategy for consulting someone else before they respond.

2. Impersonating Authorities

Many of us were brought up to respect authority, and scammers exploit this to their benefit. This is why numerous scams directed at seniors involve individuals pretending to be authority figures, pressuring the victim to comply with their demands. Here are some examples:

- You receive a call from someone asserting they are from the Internal Tax and Revenue Service or the Local Bank Agency, etc. They forcefully claim that you owe substantial taxes, fines, or fees and threaten legal action if you don’t comply.

- A text message, appearing to be from your electric utility provider, informs you that your bill is overdue. The sender warns that your service will be disconnected if you do not pay immediately.

- An email alert, seemingly from your bank, notifies you of an issue with your account. The email instructs you to verify your account details to rectify the “problem.”

**How to Safeguard Your Finances:**

protected from scam


The first step is to verify the legitimacy of the organization or agency attempting to contact you. Do not rely on Caller ID for this, as phone numbers, email addresses, and even websites can be falsified to mimic legitimate entities. Instead, reach out to the organization directly using contact information from their official website. Explain the communication you received and ask for verification. Remember, government agencies typically do not contact individuals via phone, email, text, or social media to request personal information or payments.


3. Creating a False Sense of Urgency or Scarcity

A time-tested method used by scammers is manufacturing a sense of urgency around a situation. Their objective is to prompt you to act impulsively, without thoroughly considering the implications of their request. They might use phrases such as:

- "This price is only valid for 24 hours."

- "The product is in limited supply and will soon be unavailable."

- "This offer is only available to a select few."

Additionally, they may threaten negative consequences if you don’t act, such as:

- "You could face arrest or incarceration."

- "Your bank account will be frozen."

- "Your utilities will be disconnected."

- "You’ll miss out on a substantial financial opportunity."

**Beware Prices That Significantly Lower Price Than its Market Value:** 

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE SCAM

If a deal seems too enticing—such as a product being offered at a significantly lower price than its market value—this should immediately raise your suspicions. Even if you feel an urge to respond, pause, take a moment to breathe, and ask questions. Gathering all the pertinent information can help you avoid making decisions driven by emotion rather than reason. 

Should you decide to make a purchase or engage a service online, it’s advisable to use a credit card as your payment method. Most major credit cards offer built-in protections against fraudulent transactions. This is not the case with online payment platforms like Zelle®, Cash App, or Venmo, which function similarly to cash transactions. If something goes awry, recovering your money may be difficult. Therefore, it’s crucial to only send money to individuals you know and trust when using digital payment options.

Guide on how to dropshipping shopee ,lazanda in Malaysia .IS KUMOTEN SCAM

I am sure you heart people mentioned  KUMOTEN  if you searching for tips or guide on how to dropshipping shopee ,lazanda in Malaysia .The fact is the people who recommended it don't even use it on they own ..These people wrote or making youtude video saying how easy KUMOTEN  bla bla clearly they just intent to cheat you ,just for getting views ,they teaching people make money dropshipping but they are earning from youtude. From Advertisement not KUMOTEN   .okay I might be wrong but next time ,u just ask them to show you how much they earn from KUMOTEN .






WHY KUMOTEN SUCK ,

You shop will receive bad reputation. And you are the one who face it ,overcome it ,Not them
They are ton of REAL stuff your ecommerce guru never told you ,or they NOT EVEN KNOW. For example The delivery cost is so high at the final outcome is that the product cost is absurd to be dropshipped. YOU Cannot make money that way. Later Sonner you customer will Feel cheated. You shop will receive  1 star reputation. Some customer will tell you if they can vote zero star ,they WILL. ..Lucky you.



Before starting your droshipping with KUMOTEN ,you need to deposit some money inside . Below i will listed out the real experiment and comments who actually a shopee or lazanda seller who use kumoten as a supplier. Below are points listed out :
.
  • They are looking for naive dropshippers. Scam alert!
  • My 1 year experience become dropship with this Kumoten is I not recommend it for student and each of every one.
  • Worst dropshipper website.Just Dont ever sign up for it.
  • Delivery take a month that makes customer really angry at us. 

You will not be able to deactivated and close the account. If u know, please tell me.. All the money left cannot withdraw and lost if you not active ,<not selling anything >on certain period of time.

 Even Worse They will give your online shop a bad name and give you headache. Buyer will complain slow delivery. It take 1 month to deliver your product. 



They ask you to sell RM46, they really TAKE CARE of you profit 


IF YOU CAN SELL IT ,YOU MAKE IT ,YOU NO  NEED TO READ THE POST BELOW



That just one of the example Rm4 products Will added Rm7 shipping fees. Not to mentioned you can get the same product elsewhere fot just RM1

Their interface may be great and the products look cheap at first sight, but they significantly hide up their shipping cost to make up for the cheap product price. RM 17 to deliver a 10x10x10cm item

Other then that, their customer support is EXTREMELY USELESS. Item was out of stock, contacted them about it, had to wait 15 MINUTES for a response that didn't even provide any solution. Absolutely ridiculous supplier.

If you want to dropship, better off look for AliExpress supplier than this scam local supplier.When you get your order ,Kunoten delivery from oversea.may be komoten  also order from aliexpress then resell it to you ..double dropship 

Their items mostly ships from hong kong and only some in Malaysia.. so, the deliveries is kinda slow compared to other which can complete it within few days.

1) Dated items and Small selection of items in stock. whatever u order, they don't have it.
2) Delivery times takes too long
3) PRICE - their price is just not acceptable.. the "cost price" is already higher than selling price LOL how u make sales?
4) withdrawal of money and deactivating the account is not available (or i couldn't find it). dont believe me? try searching in google on how to deactivate kumoten account or make a withdrawal, people cry searching for it.. it is just not there, only way to redeem your money is to buy thing from your shop ,where much more expensive the market price...
5) promises - they promise more stocks and much more affordable price.. well, i heard that Loooooooooong ago

so, do urself a favor, dont waste time. they will tell u with the right strategy, u can make sale. Riiiiight. Lazada and shopee is saturated with their items, u will see the same items over and over again with the same insane price, even if you lower the price, u will always find some other seller selling at price lower than the cost price from kumoten.


The shipment is slow and the price is 5 star price. Customer service is horrible becoz their not facing the real customer like you do. Initially caused your personal e-commerce account to be blacklisted. At the end, you will lost all your money that in KUMOTEN account.

NOT TO SAY KUMOTEN SCAM BUT REALLY MAKE YOU PEOPLE STUPID THEY ARE SMART.

Beware of Domain Registration Scam



Question on Buy Domains and Hosting from the Same Company

If you confused whether you should Buy Domains and Hosting from the Same Company,the quick answer is You really not necessary to keep the domain names and web hosting with the same company.

Domain Registration Scam
The only reason most people host their website and buy domain from one roof is that the companies might providing both  hosting but and domains reseller.The is some trick from those disreputable hosting companies,they would register domains for their customers under one price or one package,they will use their very own hosting company name to register a domain rather than under the customer's name. Then when the customer looked to move their domain elsewhere and use a different hosting company, they found themselves trapped because they did not "own" the domain they had been using.

Domain registrars operate as direct connections with domain registries and register domains for customers. Many of them (including MyDomain) also sell web hosting.

Hosting companies are primarily in the web hosting business. Some of them offer domain registration to their customers, but most of them that offer domain registration are resellers of a larger domain registrar. A few have ICANN accreditation and are their own registrars.

All legitimate domain registrars (including MyDomain) will register your domains in your own name. In a domain registry's eyes, the domain is yours and you can move that domain to another registrar if you are unhappy with your service. This means that there is no danger in buying web hosting from your domain registrar.

Key takeaway: Make sure the company you choose for domains and/or web hosting is reputable. ICANN accredited registrars such as MyDomain are often a safer way to go than hosting companies because these registrars must follow ICANN rules for how to handle domain names.

Lottery Scam Example..

Is site build it SBI A scam

Have you heard site build it? Did somebody told you SBI is a scam?

Ken Evoy, President of SiteSell.com, some of the webmaster leave some decent testimonial said they actually use the product and love it. And while they are no proof these people had actually used it or they just another SiteSell’s affiliate program promoter, i still believe in the product and endorse it because it really discrete the main core of create a successful web site.The question is whether it worth it or mot worth it.

Before i go any deeper,I need to point out that everyone who have heard how good,how amazing SBI is should take caution that any programs that promise you to earn big and fast money most probably is scam.Most people hype and aim to earn some affiliate commission.

I am mot blaming People who were proud to show the world how much good Site Build It changed their lives but that's depends on individual,it mght not work for everyone.
Not to mention some people think they could quit their jobs because of SBI!Hoe dangerous is that?

However If someone saying Site Build It SBI is a scam because it didn’t work for them, or they believe it’s overpriced.That untrue ,Site Build It! Cannot Be a Scam because of that.There are different definition of scam.In my opinion, a scam is product or service that doesn’t deliver what is promised. Or the company overcharges for the value provided.

Never does SiteSell promise you’ll make money if you use their product. Nor do they guarantee it’s easy to earn money online. The only thing they DO promise is that you will get valuable tutorials and tools to build your site that will set you on the path of success. This is true no matter which web host you use.

You have to understand, however, that your success largely depends on YOU and your own efforts. Building a successful website takes work, patience, learning, creativity and motivation.

I Wrapz Employment Opportunities

iphone skin scam
I Wrapz is an online retailer selling ipoh,iPhone skin cover,designs and manufactures covers for gadgets from iPods, Blackberries and handheld electronics of all kinds to larger laptop covers.

Basically there is nothing to complain if there do milling the goods to the buyer according to what their have advertised.They might be overpriced but that should not categorized to scam or related to scam ..

But when they goes one step further,offering employment opportunities that involve investment(money),that's something you should always be aware..

Below quotes from scam.com's members
There is a lot of advertising out there regarding a mall cart program by i-Wrapz Corp. out of New Jersey. They sell dome gel skins for cell phones and iPods.Do Not Become a Cart Owner!Their income claims are false.They knowingly sold unlicensed, illegal products to their owners (Spongebob, Disney Characters, NFL MLB and NBA teams, and many others without have the right to do so - Major Lawsuit Pending by Disney, Nike, Warner Brothers and DC Comics)

They lie to you about what other carts are generating. If the carts were really doing as well as they are then you would see all malls in the tri state area with an iwrapz cart in them. In fact if you just do some research of the malls around there office location in NJ you will not find any.

The two owners Joe and Oscar are scammers and only care about opening a new cart because they get that initial investment from the fool that opens the cart. They lie to you from the start and continue to lie to you once you are in business with them. They don't even have a company owned cart. What does that tell you? Don't waste your hard earned money with these thieves.

Once a new cart opens up it will close within weeks or a couple of months because the item does not sell like they tell you it does. If you don't believe me ask for proof of income of the carts that are in business. They will never produce it. Or ask them to produce invoices of orders from the carts that are in business. They should easily be able to produce this but they won’t.

They continue to go to new areas to open carts for that initial investment they get. Once they burn out a new location in a few weeks they will not be able to open one in that mall again because people catch on that it is a scam.

They don't even have their locations on their website because they close so fast that they were being exposed by adding a new location on their site only to have to renew it a few weeks later because it went out of business.

Legitmate or Scam? online pharmacies

Due to the convenience of internet,it provides conveniences that no other technology can match in the recent years and more goods and services can be trade online in a matter of seconds.

Many people are starting to turn to the internet for their prescription drugs, especially to online pharmacies that do not require you to have a written prescription from your doctor.

However, there is always the concern that online pharmacies are not legitimate businesses. This is why many people still visit actual drug stores. In fact, records show that over three billion prescriptions are filled annually at actual pharmacies, while the sales of prescription medication online were still somewhat small.
There are many advantages to purchasing prescription drugs online, including the privacy of purchasing drugs without others knowing what you are purchasing, a greater availability of some drugs (especially for those who do not live near a major city), and the easy of shopping without ever leaving your home. You may also be able to find more information about products online than in a traditional pharmacy.

According to one survey, customers can actually save almost 30 percent by buying drugs online. This can translate to a considerable savings if the drugs are expensive. However, many online pharmacies do not have any sort of regulations or other laws surrounding the sales of their drugs. This means they can provide any prescription drug to anyone without a written prescription. They can also provide drugs that may not exactly do what they claim to.

In the United States, the FDA has found dozens of different online pharmacies may not be completely legal. Many of these pharmacies sell drugs like Viagra, weight loss drugs, and baldness drugs like Propecia. Online pharmacies based in other countries may also sell prescription drugs that may be much different from the approved version. This means these drugs may not actually cure anything.

When it comes to overseeing sales online, there are many different issues. State or government regulation boards may not be able to affect online pharmacies, especially those in other countries.

The postal service and customs service of a country can help cut down on the shipping of illegal drugs. In the United States, the FDA does not allow pharmacies to sell prescription drugs to people who do not have a prescription.


However, online pharmacies that operate in other countries can often bypass the FDA and sell prescription drugs anyway. It can be nearly impossible to regulate how these online pharmacies operate and what drugs they sell. Even if they manage to shut down an online pharmacy, there’s nothing to stop that company from changing their name and starting a new website.

The regulation of online health products is something many countries are working towards. Many are working to shut down illegal online pharmacies, while others are trying to legalize these pharmacies by getting them to agree to certain
regulations and requirements.

Again, however, it can be difficult to find and shut down these companies, and those who do not want to agree to regulations will find some way around them. To that end, it’s very important for customers to realize that not all online pharmacies are legitimate.

When your search the product name for example "best registry cleaner scam",you actually have some review and so called professional report,but at the end you go no where but bring you to the free download site,note that free download doesn't mean free use ,you have to pay after download.One things for sure is that they are good in SEO and Google seem to ranked them in the good position at SERP.

You really doesn't need those programs to SCAN YOUR COMPUTER FOR FREE ,they never provide you a real solution after "scan".Buying another registry cleaner will NEVER A SOLUTION to you computer problem.


Check this out: (quotes from http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/index.cfm?action=showthread&threadid=364739&forumid=2)

"I'm someone who has invested in a number of registry cleaners in my time and usually have half a dozen to choose from when needed. ALL of them sing their own praises on how they will remove the nasty stuff in just a few minutes, but Registry Easy really takes the biscuit for online deceit. I purchased it a few weeks ago now when I was having trouble with a CPU usage 100% prob.

They had promoted that it would clear-up the prob in mins. On my first scan it caused serious problems with my computer, with having unexpected shutdowns for the first time ever and losing access to the internet through IE. I only recovered, after utilising my other cleaners, - which I wont promote by mentioning any of them. That's part of the trickery they use.

I wrote a polite and detailed account of my experience to their support site and requested a refund. After 3 further attempts to remind them over previous weeks, I'm still awaiting an acknowledgement from them.

It's surprising that any reference to Reg. Easy being a scam, that's made through a Google search, brings up pro-Reg. Easy responses from individuals obviously agents of or for them. Statements like - 'Registry Easy might not be the most popular registry cleaner on the block - but . .' and 'Registry Easy does not have much of a downside', are quite insidious and it's obvious the company itself is manipulating the number of 'hits' of it suggesting it being a scam.

To me, a company which insults the dignity of its customers in this manner will eventually not prosper. Meanwhile they'll make lots of money.

Please don't be fooled by the trickery. BEWARE! Registry Easy really IS a scam."

Definition of Email spam

Most of the time,backlink building considered spam When you try to leave a comment on a site with anchor text on you link considered spam.You sending bunch Email to others might also considered  spam.Did you really really spammed?How to we define a spammer?

The definition of spam itself is a tricky issue, and there are many strongly held opinions over what should be included in the definition. Many define spam as unsolicited commercial electronic mail (e-mail) sent in bulk. Others believe 'bulkness' is irrelevant, and the key factor is whether the message sent was asked for or solicited. Still, others debate the importance of whether the message was commercial in nature, and would say that all unsolicited e-mail is spam. This view is perhaps a little extreme, as even messages that are sent to all individuals on campus by IT Services or others as a means of disseminating information could then be viewed as spam.

The default setting of the Spam filter quarantines mail on a quarantine server and sends a daily digest to show you the mail that is being held. It works like this - when your e-mail passes through the Spam filter server it is examined and given a score reflecting the probability that it is Spam. Based on the score the following actions are taken:

All mail that scores between 90%-100% will be deleted from University systems.
All mail that scores between 50% - 90% will be quarantined. Every day at about 3:00 a.m. a digest will be sent to you from the PureMessage Administrator account that informs you of all e-mail that has been received and quarantined within the last 24 hours.

If you are using the Notes client or an IMAP client (for example Outlook Express) it will be possible to release the message with one click.

Mail that contains words on the "offensive words" list will be quarantined, even if they score less than 50%. The list that we use comes pre-configured from Sophos with several hundred words and phrases that are generally considered to be unacceptable in e-mail (corporate) communications.

Plenty of Fish Serious Member scam?

They are always some serious joke around us on internet,this one from Plentyoffish.com,if you have join the dating site Plentyoffish you know there is a service call "Serious Member",it is a paid service for you to upgrade your membership at Plentyoffish.com. Now we I'm not talking about it's a scam or not scam,i just share my though about the "Serious Member" thing...


A "serious membership" is an optional paid membership available on Plentyoffish POF,The function is to be eligible normal member to become a serious member, you must pass a psychology test measuring your integrity, sincerity and ability to form a relationship.

As you might already know or going to realized that 90% of all free dating websites are cheaters,they use fade name ,fake photo,fake profile etc...To overcime the problem ,the paid membership might be a good option for those who really serious in getting a relationship online,okay,here is the trick,as a "Serious Member", you have to pay,this is how they make money,you get a medallion on your profile that indicates your status to other users, indicated that you are "SERIOUS" .

You also own unlimited login points for sending email gifts and uploading 16 pictures instead of 8 on your profile. You also get unlimited access to a selection of colourful background themes.

So,after all the benifit you get as a "serious mwmber" did you really get what you realling looking for (serious relationship)?If you think paying Plentyoffish will make you success in dating your new friends,you might felt disappointed.

Let's check out how POF work and Steps  for How To Get Started:

Step 1. Create a profile! (FREE)
Go to POF Click on 'Register' and follow the steps specified on that page.

Step 2. Upload an image!
There are two options to upload uploading a photo, the new Flash-based uploader and traditional uploader. well it really doesn'y matter which way you chosse to upload those "avatar"..You can upload up to a maximum of 8 photos. You have the option to  adjust your thumbnail image. A thumbnail image is a reduced sized version of your picture that will be used to identify you in the search feature.(you profile picture) Once your image appears in a thumbnail version you can choose to make your photo public.

Step 3. Create a detailed profile!
Write more about who you are , edit descriptions, username, email, and password. When people click on your profile link ,thet will landing on your profile page.For free user.You cannot  change your theme unless you have atlease 5,000 points.

Step 4. Start Serching Friends
Click on 'Search' on the top menu bar. There are five search options to search basic and specific characteristics, users looking for marriage, usernames and matches in your city.

Step 5. Send a message!
Once you found the intersted one ,and you are on the user's profile of that person and sent a message to introduce yourself.You can choose to send a short or long message. you can also attach a private picture to your long message.

DONE!That is it.

Everyone can join POF for free,however as a free member,they either join it out of boredom, curiosity or to mess around.Common sense, If one aren't serious enough to pay for a service, then he most likely aren't very serious about dating online either,right?

The reason of getting serious membership according to Plentyoffish is to let's others know you are serious,but by labeling themself as a top free dating site,they are suppose to aid in helping you meet someone other than wasting  they money just to tell other this member is good and serious..

There are plenty HALF free dating sites out there,these free sites keep forgetting that they are providing a DATING SERVICE of convenience which is suppose to save you time and energy. They don't really care about their member, website quality as much as they care about ad impressions and click through rates. In turn all these free sites or any sites which allows free profiles or limited free contact and has the word "free" anywhere on their website is going to be a degraded, cut down version of a real service. Yet.you cant call them scam..


Plentyoffish serious member sales pitch page:
Stand out in searches and when you send emails.

Let's others to know you are serious and you’ve put real effort into finding someone then you should get your serious member profile upgrade. Take a look at some of the screen shots below. Think about it, do you take people more seriously if they have paid for something? If you got 50 emails from random people and 2 of them were from serious members, which ones would you be more excited about? If you look at 20 people coming up in a search result and one of the profiles is in gold which profile would you look at first? This upgrade is about signaling intent and giving you the ability to stand out from 10′s of millions of other users. If you are serious about finding someone you can Become a Serious Member!

According to them , people who message you, know that you are serious. You’ll get far higher quality emails.
Didn't you get the idea? They categories them self as a free dating service wedsite,but take the opportunity to make money for those who seriously looking for a date..!!

My advice is to only use 100% pay to enter websites which are much safer from flaky people, time wasters, and minors posing as legal adults, scam artists and players.

The process of having to enter a credit card and address makes it easier to deter, catch scam artists, or violent people. This adds a big layer of protect you from most of the stuff which runs wild on a free site. And you know what piss people off? Those who bill you x.xx a month without you concern .

Don't  use a partially free site, like singlesnet, etc. Even if you use a partially free website, with limited access and pay for a pay membership on that service, you are still getting a cut down version of a service and are probably worse off than actually being on a free site since you will be paying and 90% of the members are free members, so basically you are paying for a degraded service.

The founder of Plentyoffish claims to have ruined the online dating business model and claiming that only users who can form and maintain long term relationships are given the privilege of upgrading( can you believe it). I mean you not gonna take my money if i am not that serious?How to you know i am serious? Odviously MONEY CAN proof..right?

Pricing:
1 year @ $5.95/month ($71.40)
6 months @ $7.80/month ($46.80)
3 months @ $9.80/month ($29.40)

This made perfectly sense that People who pay for online dating are generally considered more serious. This is not to say that trust and reputation tools can’t be integrated with free dating sites and others social networks sites to create an authentic sense of “seriousness”, but it’s just all about money..


Get Scammed By one fish


PlentyOfFish site still a free still dating site ( for those who not that serious,perhaps). It really shouldn't be considered SCAM since there is an upgrade option..

For THOSE WHO HAVE PAID PlentyOfFish  and get no result..Well,you CAN'T be “serious” in a site like PlentyofFish.

Domain Price Madness

Do you know the registration and renewal fees for COM & NET domains as of July 1st, 2010 will increase?. The registration, renewal and transfer fee for standard .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ, and .US domains will then be increased to to $10.47/yr. (approximately)

domain price map
According to a settlement in for lawsuit between Verisign and ICANN in 2006, Verisign had not increased their prices in 2009 AND the company is allowed to increase their prices on an annual basis with increases of up to 7% per year for .COM.

Can you imagine what happened after 10 years? Yeah,for most of webmaster,  7% increase may not seem like a lot of money, but what if you have a portfolio of 100 (IF NOT thousand) domains .And how about 10 times more then current price?

The fact is It costs them less every year to perform their mandated monopoly of domain registry, as technology in general becomes constantly more affordable.
What business is more profitable that the domain industry ..Running the .com registry is like printing money.The cost of running a registry is less than $ 0.20 per domain. my opinion!

Tips:How top reduce domain fee to save cost
Go renewed some of you domains for 10 years. And make them active sites which generate revenue.
