Scams
What are scams and how are they dangerous?
Before we start on our cheery adventure to the heinous and often diabolical world
that we call scams, you need to know what exactly scams are. Most likely, you associate
scams with harmless emails that you can wave your cursor, and eliminate it to oblivion
with a simple click.
However, scams actually extend their atrocious roots further than
what you can possibly imagine! In relative and technical terms, a scam is a terminology
incorporated with any fraudulent and deceitful scheme that unjustifiably embezzles money
or other precious goods. That was probably a bit confusing, but don’t worry. By the end
of this lesson taught by the one and only ninja master who single handedly defeated the
infernal creatures called javascript errors, you will be a master of the arts. In easy
English, scams are schemes that involve other people wrongfully by taking money or goods
from the said unaware person.
How do I prevent any interaction with scams online?
Now that you are aware of the crisis at hand, the next step is to become accustomed
to recognizing scams and correctly approaching it so you will be safe on your adventures
on the Internet. The “Golden Rule” of apprehending scams is 
that if it sounds too good
to be true, then it probably is, and you should not trust it. A complete stranger (or a
bot) on the Internet posts that they are willingly giving a free iPhone XS or a new Rolls
Royce Phantom for free. Let’s think. Is this a scam? If you weren’t sure about the answer,
the answer is yes. (Remember the Golden Rule!) A solution to these types of situations is
to simply avoid the scam is to delete it or exit the website that the scam appeared on.
