Scamsters have been around
since time immemorial. And unfortunately they always will be.
The Internet is a haven
for these unscrupulous shysters, and their rich pickings are harvested
from the inexperienced Newbies of the Internet. Not because Newbies are
any less intelligent than anyone else, but simply because they haven't
been around the 'Net long enough to spot the obvious cons. They're not
yet 'street-wise'!
But it's not just the
blatant thieves you should be aware of. There are many, many
'apparently' respectable and established Websites that will gladly take
your money, and fail to respond when it comes to after-sales service and
refund requests.
As in all walks of life,
most people are genuine and honest, and fortunately that is the dominant
human personality. But hopefully this section of The Oracle will help
alert you to at least some of the common, and less obvious, tricks these
dregs of humanity use to try and steal our hard earned cash.
In the top left hand
navigation bar are links to some extremely informative sites, that are
determined to make us aware of these scamsters. But please don't become
paranoid about doing business on the Internet. It's the miracle of the
modern age, and is destined to change all our lives. Just be cautious
before you do business, and don't get carried away with the sometimes
hysterical media hype, about the dangers of making credit card
transactions on the Web.
They say that a little
knowledge can be a dangerous thing. But forewarned is also forearmed.
