Craigslist fraud – is bigger every day

admin — Sat, 30 May 2009 11:30:54 +0000

As you know, Craigslist.org is the biggest classifieds site from US. Posting ads on craiglist is free, and for this reason, more and more fraudsters are attracted here. They post daily thousands of fake and fraudulent ads in every domain and because craiglist is one of the bussiest sites in US, they manage to enrich through frauds.

The biggest craigslist fraud is in the For Sale Section / Cars and Trucks. Here, from all the ads I can say that 50%-70% percent are fake. Soon I will release a guide how to spot those scams because I tried to fight back to them posting their emails here, but the emails are changed every time so is very hard to help people.

Another sections used by fraudsters are the Rental Section, Jobs Section, Resumes Section. With some automated software they can post daily many ads. Most of them are flagged by users, but some of it will remain alive. Another tool used by them is another automated program that crawls craiglist and gets the emails. With such a big list for email is really easy for fraudsters to steal your information or your money. With mass-mailing they can spoof any sender and send fake emails.

So the best fraud prevention method is research. You must check every aspect of the problem and for sure you’ll not be a victim.

How secure are your passwords?

admin — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:07:17 +0000

How secure is your password?

Somebody said ” A good password is one that cannot be easily guessed.” I think this affirmation is wrong because a good password, in my opinion, is a password that nobody can crack it. As you can see in this label a good password must have at least 10 characters. So let’s try to see some tips on how you can improve your password.

1. At least 10 characters. A good tip, but to be more secure you can add easily 2-3 numbers or some special characters like !@#$%^& or something like that or you can use capitals like mYpaSSword.

2. Don’t use the same password. 95% of the people that use internet and have 2 or more accounts have the same password. Yes I`m right. How many of you have the same password for paypal account and email ?

3. Don’t use easy answer. Most of the email accounts or bank accounts have security questions like: What is your mom name? In which city do you live? or something like that. Most of the guys who try to get access to your account and try to guess your password will use this feature because if they know you a little they will know the answer to your security question.
Example: Q: What is your mom name?
A: Debra
But you can try this: Q: What is your mom name?
A: Jack (your father name)

4. Password can’t be the same as the account name. For example if your account is debrajack your password should’t be debrajack / debrajack12 or another combination because with the help of a brute force program this password can be guessed in no time.

5. Don’t use your SSN or DOB.

6. Good example of passwords : Just4myname! / ihatesomebody . Use your imagination and follow this steps and I assure you that nobody can hack your email with any method except phising.

Be safe.

5 tips to see if a site is scam or fraud related

admin — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:42:28 +0000

How do you know if a website is a scam? This site is real or it is a scam? Anyone has heard about this site, it is real? These questions are asked by normal people, on different sites and forums, because they want to know if a site is secure or legit. If you access or you buy something from a unknown site or fake for sure you`ll lose your money and also your personal information will be exposed.

I will present you 5 methods that will help you to decide if a website is scam or fraud related.

1. Go to http://www.google.com and type the site address. For this example I’ll chose google.com
As you see in the picture, after the first result are some links that google generates automatically. Those links are called site links and represent an authority site. If a site has such links 100% is a big, safe and legit site so your question has an answer: this site isn`t a scam, is a real one! Note: If a site hasn’t site links, doesn’t mean that a site is a scam.

2. Go to http://whois.domaintools.com and insert the domain address to find some information about the domain and the registrant. As you can see this is the domain information for Google. When you look for another site you need to pay attention to registrant name. Why? In order to be a legit site, in most of the cases the domain should be registered to a company, not to a person. Also here you can find out where the site is hosted and by which company. So you can e-mail them to ask more details about the site.

3. Go here and run a test for your site http://www.siteadvisor.com/. With this tool you will find out if the site has spyware, spam, viruses and phishing.

4. Also here http://www.mywot.com/ you can check the website. This tool is pretty much like the one above, but with different algorithm.

5. Google the site. If you don’t find something related to point 1, then 100% will find some information about that site. If it is a scam you’ll find for sure some posts in a forum, or people that said that they have been scammed. So do your research on google in order to stay safe and to protect your personal information.

Hope this little tutorial will help you! Be safe

10 ways to avoid home jobs scams

admin — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:10:42 +0000

Nowadays many people want to work from home. Why? Because if you work from your house you have more spear time, you don’t pay the commute, and this job can be a second one or a part time job. On the web you can find many jobs through online sites. When you apply to a certain job, especially work based jobs, you need to pay attention because some of them might be scams. The purpose of this job scams is to steal your money or/and personal information.
When you are searching for a good home job that pays good, you need to take a look at 10 points in order to avoid scam or fraud:
1. Check the title and description of the job. If the title is different from the job description you must be carefully.
2. Check the company website. Check the age of the website. who owns the website and where is hosted. If that job is a scam you will find some irregularities. Browse through the site to see if it has missing pages or missing links; a legit company will have a good site structure. Go to page Contact us to see if the phone number and e-mail contact listed there are the same like that in the job ad.
3. Check the e-mail and phone number. If the job hasn’t a phone number attached for you to call the company or the person who posted the add is most sure a scam. Also search through online searching engines the e-mail and phone to see if are real or fake. Also try to speak on the phone with the person that wants to hire you. You’ll be able to decide if is a legit job or a scam.
4. Check the company background. Search after the name of the company and you will see if that company is legit or a scam.
5. Avoid jobs like “1k per day”, “200.000k per year” without any kind of work needed. If is to good to be true then perhaps it is. Don’t try to find any kind of job without work needed and which promises a very very good salary because you’ll find only scams or fraudulent jobs.
6. Avoid jobs posted by persons in another country or which involve transfers of money because this type of job, in must of the cases, covers another fraud. Not only you will be broke after this job, but you will also be investigated for fraud.
7. If you receive a job offer via e-mail check if the e-mail is legit. Check the ip of the sender of the e-mail. If it is different from the company’s IPs then you have discovered a job scam. In these cases the best thing to do is to report it and go to another job search.
8. Check the work contract. In there you may find some errors like: your name misspelled, some work conditions that haven’t been presented to you or some clauses which are hidden.
9. Don’t pay any taxes or commission upfront.
10. Keep your computer up to date. This mean that you must have a good antivirus, a phishing filter and an antispyware program because when you’ll search you will browse many sites and who knows, maybe some of it are infected or full with keyloggers.

Be safe.
