How to Realized that You are Involved in a Cyber Fraud Scammer Crime?
I think it really depends on many factors but in the majority, the scammers are actually easy to find out since most of them are just poor people who can’t find a job. They are less knowledgeable and unprofessional in the daily trading business.
Here are a few lists of guidelines to help you out in identifying the scammers.
First, they are trying to hide their identity. As a business owner, a person would always be welcome to disclose its identity for marketing purposes. But a scammer would try to not tell anything. Either crime or someone who is against company policy, leak products to the public, they are all prohibited. Just stop working on any business with them.
Second, they have no knowledge of the product. When you were asking for the detail of the product or service, the standard, features or policy, etc. They won’t able to answer. They don’t even know what they are selling.
Third, they would suggest using an insecure payment for fund transition. Those payment methods including PayPal friend and family payment, Zelle, cash app, cryptocurrency, or any payment that is not for business purposes that won’t able to get a refund. In regular business, you should have an invoice to show that what good/service you are purchased, the price, and any policy that you might need to be aware of.
Beside those 3 basic point, following are other keys to identify the scammers:
- you don’t know contacts you out of the blue
- you’ve never met in person asks for money
- asks you to pay for something or to give them money through unusual payment methods such as gift cards, wire transfers or cryptocurrencies
- asks you to pay for something in advance — especially through an unusual payment method
- asks you for personal information, like your bank details or passwords, or access to your computer
- pressures you into buying something or making a decision quickly
- offers you something that sounds too good to be true — like an online shopping deal, a prize for winning a competition, an unclaimed inheritance or an invitation to invest in an ‘amazing’ scheme.
