begining to be nothing more then a bunch of people thinking they can scam people. That is almost all I meet online are scammers. It is getting really difficult to tell them apart from honest hard working people trying to make a living and support their families. It really ticks me off to meet these kind of people. I wanna just grab them and scream get a job idiot and leave hard working people alone. How many scammers have you meet online? I at least come accross 1 a day.

A few years ago I met some via a social site. Must say nowadays I seldom meet one (but am also not joining social sites anymore). Once in a while I do receive a scam-letter, mostly from a bankdirector, written in terrible dutch, or from a bank manager telling me my credit card or payment is not working (and all this is possible with a bank I don't even have an account with). I delete these e-mails.

I have found that the free ones are where they hang out the most. Sometimes the free are good, example, Neobux, Clixsense, ozarkpaidmail, and several other.

Oh I've encountered loads of online scammers. I used to make my living selling stuff online and trust me they are everywhere. It was a big part of why I stopped selling on Ebay and other sites - dealing with them and trying to keep a step ahead just got to be too time-consuming and fairly depressing. Although I can usually spot a scammer coming some are very, very good at conning people so anyone can get caught out if they don't stay vigilant. I agree it does sometimes seem like the internet is full of nothing but scams. Unfortunately the internet just seems to bring out the worst in some people!

Well, it is difficult to come across scammers. They hide their identities most of the time. The best way to protect oneself is not to go after too much unbelievable offers, and instead be realistic in one's pursuits.

Hi,
I always read news about the scams on internet. But I never come across such scams because I use internet only for my mails and working on mylot. Nothing else. It is very difficult to know which site is scam and which is genuine.

This world is a great place with a lot of people who are trying to help out. Many people try to improve things for their friends, families and even complete strangers. However, there are also a few people out there trying to take advantage of you. If it's “too good to be true”, it usually is. So just trust your guts.
