etc.....
I would suggest you to visit this website to see the scams in details


You can be safe and make other aware about these SCAMS you need to be alerted and never fall a prey in these scams..

The Fraud Guys use different places for sending different email so it becomes very difficult for the local police to catch them..Usually these guys work in a group more than 5 to 6 peoples 

PREVENTION METHODS 

  • checking the web address–even if one character is different, it can mean it's a different website.
         ALL INDIAN GOVT. SITES END WITH A DOMAIN gov.in ... ex -India.gov.in


  • Never enter your private information unless it is a secure site and you know who you are dealing with. Secure and trusted sites are locked with a padlock in the browser window or a secured URL at the beginning of the address (https://)
  • If you got a email Report it to the cyber crime  department.
     Indian Cyber Crime Phone Number : 1800 209 6789
    You can report with the Cyber Crime department if you have a case which is related to Cyber stalking, cyber harassment, Online harassment, unsolicited calls, pornographic MMS, online fraud, phishing, or even threat mails.

THINGS TO LOOK AT

-Email sent from gmail,yahoo,hotmail
-Unsolicited emails from strangers who are advertising a website–do not click on web links in these emails(May have a malware in it )
-unexpected emails requesting personal information or emails with generic greetings like ‘Dear Customer’ instead of your name
-Offers guaranteeing you for a job with a very high salary.

Earning on internet is interesting and joyful you have to just differentiate the genuine or the scam..If not you are

  THIS IS A BIG ISSUE RUNNING IN ALL THE COUNTRIES..PREVENTION IS THE ONLY WAY
