The rate of cyber fraud by internet scammers has been increasing drastically in our modern world. This explains why most people find it very difficult to trust people online when it comes to business transactions and other finance related activities. There are different methods adopted by internet scammers in extorting from other people online and this implies that one has to be very careful to avoid falling into their trap and getting scammed.

I think one of the reasons why some people get scammed by internet scammers is actually due to their lack of smartness and excessive trust in people you meet online. One of the greatest strategy being used by online scammers is to upload another's person picture as their profile picture instead of theirs. This automatically means you aren't really conversing with the actual person at the profile picture, but you are conversing with another person entirely.

It is very important you avoid revealing your bank account details or privacy information to people you don't really know very much when you are online because they are actually anonymous. Also avoid getting in business or making payments to non authorized organizations or platforms. Avoid sending money to strangers coming up with different excuses just to earn from you. It's actually time to start thinking straight and be smart.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.
