I tend to regard everything I see on the internet as a scam. I'm not sure why. Maybe its because I've been warned many times that this is indeed the case, maybe its because every day my email box fills up with what appear to me to be scams.
The variety is amazing, but tends to fall into three main categories: job offers, money offers, and sex offers. The job offers always involve working from home on your computer, and the ad seems very personal and friendly, upbeat and exciting, but it turns out to be nothing but a promotion for a job which they never seem to get to.
Don't these job offers end up with them asking you to send money to purchase some kind of program? Just what ARE all these work from home on computer jobs? Can anyone tell me???
The money offers usually say something like "You may be eligible for $500!" Or:... "click here to receive $1500!"..I always just delete those emails, as well as the job offers that never say what the job is.
The most interesting category of online scams is the sex scam. The pattern is this: email arrives from a beautiful young lady who writes with broken english, lives in another country, s has no kids, has never been married, and is looking for a serious long term relationship, has seen your profile, and honestly believes you are the man for her, and if interested please email her at such and such email address.
These come all the time, as do samples of the other two categories. The girls are the only ones to whom I respond, but, infrequently I swear.. I guess I want sex more than i want free money or a job (though I want both, greatly).
Am I correct in assuming that all of these emails are scams? Oh my god, what if they're not, and I am throwing away huge money making online job opportunities, thousands of dollars of free money, and girls galore! With my luck, that's exactly what's happening.
