Ways to cheat people. What to do if you cheated for money. Common ways to cheat on the Internet

What such a scam on the internet, its types, scam for money, fraud on the Internet and deceiving users, I propose to find out in this article.

I must say right away that the days of Ostap Bender have not passed and will never pass, and there will always be people who will try to make money by fraud. Now a scam on the Internet is flourishing on the same scale as in our real life.

But in order to protect yourself from this and not get into a scam on the network and not lose your money, I suggest reading this article and finding out what to do and what not to do if you are offered something tempting and monetary.

And what to do in order not to get scammed for money and not become a victim of scammers, as well as what needs to be done before giving (transferring) money to an attacker.

Scams on the Internet

Cheating 1

Today, scams on the Internet, multiply like mushrooms after rain. And the following types of fraud are considered the most basic:

  1. Translation and typing for money.
  2. Working with e-mail.
  3. Photo processing (digital).
  4. Sort images and cut labels.

Cheating 2

Self-help cash desks.

These activities are complete divorce and scam. They are thrown in 99% of cases, so do not even try to start trying to make money in these ways, I think that everything will be fine for you. Everyone who suffered thought so too.

Online scams are, for example, currency exchange sites. Attackers may argue that by exchanging one currency for another several times, you can earn a decent amount. But turn on your brains and get who and most importantly for what you will be paid the promised profit.

And also think about if you became the owner of the exchanger, would you work at a loss? I think and I'm sure not!

Cheating 3

Financial pyramids that disguise their activities for good purposes. For example, some call to invite a certain number of friends, and after that pay a certain amount of money, after which you will receive your percentage from these friends, which they, in turn, will also pay.

These are standard scams on the Internet. And you will not receive any money. Remember this.

Cheating 4

Dating sites that first invite gullible users to look at pictures of beautiful girls (which most men will definitely like). But the owners of these dating sites offer to pay for access to more intimate photos of these girls, which they allegedly posted in their profiles. As a rule, payment is made using a mobile phone.

Believe me, you will not get any access to intimate photos. This is a pure scam on the Internet and a scam for money.

Cheating 5

Fundraising for charitable purposes. Many users fall for this trick and money scam, who are not indifferent to the fate of many people who need financial help.

But often scammers on the Internet disguise themselves as such people, who create special pages on which they post photos of children who need money for treatment abroad.

In order not to fall into this scam, remember that charities do not use spam methods to tell about their organization. And if you want to help someone, you can find out about this or that charitable organization in the administration of your city.

Cheating 6

Magic wallets are the most common cheating method that has been around for several years. Its essence is that you need to send a certain amount of money (as a rule, a small one, so that it would not be a pity to send it). Again you need to turn on your brains and ask yourself the question: "Why can they send me 1,2,3 ... times more money than I sent myself?"

I think after that, you will give up the obsessive desire to "increase" your money.

Cheating 7

SMS scam, the most common type of divorce for money. On the internet you can often see such supposedly enthusiastic reviews: “the guys recently found out that if you send such and such an amount of money (the amount is indicated) to such and such a phone (the phone number is indicated), then 2 times more is returned to the account.

Ask yourself again who will replenish your mobile phone balance and for what in an amount exceeding the one you will send?

Again, the answer is obvious, this is another free internet scam, which, by the way, is used by many users. Cybercriminals often urge to send a small amount, often 10 rubles, which many do. And in return they get 2 rubles to the account. Well, then most of these "lucky ones" send even more, and, as you might have guessed, they did not wait for the balance to be refilled.

Cheating 8

Account hacks. As a rule, this happens in the following way. The user receives a letter in the mailbox with a message that their account has been hacked and in order to restore access, you need to follow the link (which is indicated in the same letter) and get to the page (which is disguised as the design of the service in which you are invited to restore access ) and send a certain amount of money to the specified mobile phone number.

This is also a scam for money and a scam on the Internet of pure water.

Remember that no services, especially social networks, require you to pay money to restore access. Therefore, having received such a letter, immediately try to go to the service to which you are offered to restore access.

And if suddenly there is any problem with entering your Personal Account, write about it to Technical Support.

Cheating 9

Hacking wallets in webmoney and Yandex Money is also a very common scam on the Internet. The action in this type of fraud on the Internet occurs in the same way as I described in the previous method of deception. A letter comes to the mail that the account of such a wallet has been hacked (they can indicate the wallet number) and to restore access they offer to follow the link in the same letter and on a new page (which looks like a payment system website) in a special form enter the Login and Password from your wallet.

Most users fall for this scam for money, since everything happens automatically and unknowingly. Therefore, now you know about it and I think that you will not fall for such a trick. Remember, always, immediately try to enter your wallet, and if it does not work, then write to the support service of the service, access to which I suggest you restore.

Cheating 10

Ransomware viruses. Almost all Internet users are aware of this. But for those who do not know how a money scam happens in this type of fraud, I explain. You do not need to believe the information written on the banner that blocked your computer, with the assurance that to unlock you need to send an SMS message (or top up the balance of this mobile phone number) to the specified mobile phone number and enter the received code into the form that is on banner, then press the UNLOCK button. I assure you nothing will be unlocked and the banner will remain, and the amount you paid will go to the fraudster's wallet.

All that needs to be done, if such a thing happened, is to call a computer repair specialist who, for 1000 rubles, perhaps a little more, will unlock your computer.

This seems to be all the main types of scam and fraud on the Internet, which I wanted to tell you about. And now I offer information that will help you not to fall into the hands of scammers and not become that sucker who will replenish the army of all deceived in the Internet space and keep your money safe and sound.

How to check a scam or not

You need to understand that NO ONE and NEVER will give you anything for free. And if you decide to find ways to get rich, where you need to work little and invest almost nothing, then I recommend a book that contains, among other things, proven ways to make money on the Internet and in real life, and which many users have already bought. And also read the article, at least about this option of earning with the help of computer power, one of my friends told me not so long ago.

As for fraud on the Internet, everything happens there with the help of sites that are created by scammers in order to deceive gullible users. Therefore, the easiest way is to check the reviews of a site that offers certain services that you read about in the previous paragraphs is to check what other users say about it on other websites.

To do this, just type the address of a site into the Yandex search line, click the FIND button and see what they write about this site on other Internet resources.

But check the reviews not only on the first page in the search results, but also on 2 and 3, since scammers can create several different sites (including pages on social networks), which will have grateful and positive reviews from supposedly satisfied customers. ...

If this is a scam and a scam, then you will definitely find sites with unflattering reviews.

Believe me, this method alone can reduce the risk of getting caught divorce for money.

In general, always check the scam sites in this way, which offer to do something, where you do not need to do anything and get money just like that.

This is where I will end this article and I want to say again so that you remember once and for all: this is a myth and it simply does not exist. And if you want to make money, then you need to be able to do something. Or know the ways that many people have been earning for a long time, including on the Internet.

If there is interest, then in the article, you will find out about it.

Put your likes, leave comments, let this article spread and naive people will live easier. But you and I can now proceed to.

Today the Internet has become the most universal service that makes life easier for humanity. Everything can be done using the Internet. If a person wants to make or spend money, find entertainment or exchange thoughts with other people, the first thing that comes to mind is the Internet. However, at the same time as he was able to diversify our life, so he limited it.

The network is full of scammers who want to facilitate someone else's wallet. At the same time, the number of methods of deception on the Internet is simply staggering. It is in order that you do not fall for another deception on the Internet today, we will try to describe everything that should be alarming during the "visit" of the worldwide network.

Common ways to cheat on the Internet

First of all, you must be careful. In fact, attentiveness is the only thing that can save you from fraudulent offers. And knowledge of popular methods of deception on the Internet, which are presented below, will help to "recognize the wolf".

Generators of electronic money

Number one on the list of scammers' favorite scams are all sorts of programs and services that generate currency. The work of each of them is explained in different ways, but none of them actually work, all this is a scam. If you are offered a similar income, refuse.

Earnings from surveys and clicks

They exist on their own, and they are not fraudulent. But there are many offers on the network that bribe users with their inflated rates for a click, survey or captcha, thereby deceiving them.

The main signs of sites that do not pay:

  • Overpriced for 1 action;
  • Large minimum withdrawal amount;
  • To make a withdrawal, you need to invest your money or bring so many friends.

On the right, you can see a classic example of a scam site. There is no point in announcing the name of the site, since they are constantly changing, but the design of the scammers has remained the same for several years.

Investment projects

The most popular cheating method. Internet users receive a lucrative offer to invest money at very significant interest rates, but only after replenishing the account, naturally, the depositor realizes that he will not receive a penny of profit, not to mention the loss of his "hard-earned" money.

Online casinos

This is an offer of winning by using ingenious game techniques. You may have also seen an ad: "I make $ 300 a day." Or something similar.

No slots strategy can produce consistent wins. Such sites and videos are created, as a rule, only to draw attention to the casino. They say, applying this technique in this institution, you will become fabulously rich. In practice, a person goes into a rage and spends all his money. And the one who did it all gets a commission from the casino.

Money exchange

A type of fraud that is not as popular lately as it used to be. The bottom line is that you are advised by exchange offices where you can convert currency at a profit for yourself. Using this method of deception, they advertise very low-quality services.

Auto earnings

Cheating on the offer of passive earnings. There are no people who would not like to sit, do nothing and receive money for it, however, programs and sites that generate income more than 1000 rubles / 1 month. just doesn't exist. And this figure is too high.

Magic e-wallets

In this case, the scammers promise that if any amount is transferred to a certain wallet, it will be returned back in doubled volume. Is there really someone who believes this? The evidence of fraud is obvious. Why would someone transfer their money to you, and even using such a complex technology, because it’s easier to give you the money right away, and the trick is in the bag?

Financial pyramids

You can't argue that in this case there are organizations that actually pay money, but their number is minimal, most of them are scams.

Often, only the most active employees, who bring more and more new clients, receive money. And when there are too many of them in the organization, the organization ceases to exist.

In some cases, such companies restart the project. Investors are told, "we have fixed the weaknesses of our marketing plan." In fact, the cantor is closing down and trying to squeeze out some more money.

Hacks (sites, wallets, profiles)

Such tools are popular solely because of people's belief in such services. And in the form of special software, all kinds of virus programs are distributed.
And instead of getting a program to hack, say, an account on social networks, such a smart guy himself becomes a victim of deception on the Internet.

Intimidation

This is an assistant to scammers, forcing victims to send money to the accounts of cybercriminals. This technology is used exclusively by the most cunning criminals. Banners appear about the infection of the laptop or the need to update the browser and to correct the situation, it is allegedly necessary to urgently send an SMS. As a result, such a message does not cost you cheap and the problem will not be solved.

In this case, it is better to check the device for viruses or contact specialists, but in no case send paid messages.

Offers from renowned organizations

Probably, such offers came to you too. In such messages, the "representatives" of Webmoney or other significant companies, suddenly decided to offer you something. The classic option is when you need to pay tax on your winnings. Or top up such and such a mobile account in order to connect "incredibly favorable terms" from a mobile operator. But all this is deception.

Be sure to check the phones and contact the employees of these organizations on the official phone numbers and report scammers.

This is a substitution of sites. Visually, the sites look like real ones, but as a result, people are sent by all possible methods to a “fraudulent site”, where users send personal confidential data to the attackers with their own hands.

In order not to fall into such a trap, always before entering your data, check the address (domain) in the browser line, if at least one character is changed - this is phishing.

You need to be especially vigilant when visiting the sites of payment systems, although social media sites can also be faked. If you are suddenly thrown into the login page, check the site address.

Personal contact

You should not immediately rejoice if an unfamiliar nice guy or girl wrote to you on a social network. It could be a scammer who wants to drag you into their scam. There are many cases when by the hands of "charmed" users, scams were carried out, and the real fraudster went unpunished.

Content subscriptions

Their registration takes place without the knowledge of users. The scheme of deception is extremely simple - the user goes to the resource and confirms his phone number there, where he is automatically signed up for a series of paid services, which begin to be withdrawn from your account in insignificant amounts so that you do not notice the loss. To avoid this situation, follow these simple rules:

  • do not download files with SMS subscription;
  • if you can't do without it, always read the user agreement, it should indicate the tariffs;
  • you did not find tariffs in the agreement - this is an excuse to stop;
  • if you realized it late, call the operator and unsubscribe from all paid subscriptions to your phone number.

Charity

It is very unfortunate, but the attackers got into the habit of using even the desire to help for their own purposes. You could not help but notice that from time to time in social networks they ask for help to collect this or that amount of money. But according to statistics, half of these posters are the intrigues of scammers who deceive you.

Set of texts

The network is full of ads from so-called publishers who are recruiting for a typing job. And in the process, the scammers begin to ask to send money for discs (on which materials for work are sent to you) or a security deposit. But as soon as the money goes to the accounts of the fraudsters, the publishing house instantly "dissolves in thin air."

Give card details

The essence of the deception is simple - you are offered a job, and at the same time they are offered to pay a fee to your card. After that, they are asked to dictate the card details, including the CVV2 or CVC2 code (3 digits on the back of the card), provided for online payments.

In fact, to transfer money, it is enough to know the sixteen-digit card number and full name in order to make sure that there is no mistake in the number. If they ask for more data, it means that they do not intend to replenish the card, but to empty it.

Internet scam where to turn

We figured out what not to do in order not to become another victim of fraud. But sometimes, no matter how vigilant we are, they manage to deceive us. And then the question arises: "How to act now?"

From the point of view of the law, fraud is theft of property carried out by deceit or abuse of the owner's trust. In other words, Internet theft of other people's money is the same criminal offense as others, since illegal actions are carried out in real life.

If you have suffered due to the actions of fraudsters on the Internet, you need to go to the place where they go in the case of ordinary theft, that is, the police. If you think that the case is hopeless, since you do not know the attackers by sight, then this is a big mistake.

Over the years of investigating Internet fraud, law enforcement agencies have learned to work perfectly in this direction. In addition, you could not become the first victim of these scammers, and it is your information that can help identify criminals.

If you transferred money to a scammer's electronic wallet (for example, through the WebMoney system), you need to contact the employees of this organization. It is possible that your application will be the impetus for blocking the accounts of fraudsters. Also, this organization can help in clarifying the passport data of criminals. This data will allow you to go to court and claim to recover your money from the fraudsters.

You can also complain about scam sites on special Internet resources that are designed specifically to block such sites. Another resource where you can report cybercriminals is the Roskomnadzor website. This organization is engaged in the control of information technology and the identification of Internet villains.

Penalties

The article for cheating on the Internet, according to which criminals who have committed fraud via the Internet will be tried, depends on the amount of the loot. If the amount of the stolen property is not more than 1,000 rubles. an administrative penalty will be applied to the fraudster. In other words, the culprit pay a fine or be arrested for 15 days.

If the amount of the committed fraud is more than 1,000 rubles, it is already a criminal offense. The Criminal Code contains specials. the norm, which provides for liability in the form of arrest for 4 months. At the same time, if there are aggravating circumstances (group theft, embezzlement on a large or especially large scale, etc.), then the fraudster will receive a punishment in the form imprisonment for up to 10 years.

An offense such as the requirement to transfer funds with the threat of spreading confidential information or other information (for example, distributing personal photos) is considered extortion.

Depending on the situation, fraudsters can be punished not only for theft, but also for criminal actions in the field of computer information.

Cheating on the Internet has long been not news to humanity. However, we all hope for the best every time, becoming potential victims of swindlers and their scams. This article, of course, will not save all of humanity from scammers, but, I hope, it will help you to minimize the risk of being deceived and in an unpleasant situation.

Almost all famous people owe their success to their ability to cheat and deceive. It's time for you to learn something from the great deceivers and swindlers. Cheat correctly and efficiently!

As the saying goes, "life experience is a matter of education, and common sense in dealing with people is based on machinations." Our time proclaims itself civilized. But the more civilized the society, the more lie and deceit occupy in it. Harro von Senger

There is also deception in the animal kingdom. Animals disguise themselves, take on different disguises and are cunning. They do it for the purpose of survival and it is genetically inherent in them. Modern man also wants to live. To live well and happily, and for this it is sometimes necessary to lie.

People have lied since ancient times. The "Tale of Truth and Krivda" was found on an old torn scroll. The tale was written over 3 thousand years ago during the era of the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. On a papyrus scroll, we can read about treachery, revenge and confrontation between the two brothers Pravda and Krivda. So the story of deception, which began in time immemorial, went through history.

Only bad and unfit people lie? Come on! Even in literature, the most positive characters cheated and cheated. Shakespeare's Hamlet deceives his relatives with madness, which he does not have. Juliet - an imaginary death.

1. The simpleton principle

He is not someone who is considered cunning, but who is mistaken for a simpleton. P. S. Taranov

Build a reputation as a simpleton. Be simpler, clearer, seem a little silly and naive.

Build an image of a truthful, honest, but down-to-earth person. A charming smile, positive demeanor, kindness, and a confiding tone of conversation are your weapons. Create intellectual superiority over you. As long as people think they are smarter than you, it will be easy for them to be fooled.

Pretty girls often use this method. They are ready to seem like a "silly blonde", for a quiet life and the implementation of their plans in life.

2. Principle of information flow

Our mind contains both those truths that should be talked about, and those that should be kept silent. A. Rivarol

It is not necessary to lie, but you can change the information flow in favorable conditions for you. You can hide information, distort, give in to the chosen method, distort and focus on beneficial facts. Such deception is more believable and easier to control. If your deception is revealed, you will not suffer as much as if you outright deceive.

3. The principle of parallel reality

Create the desired smokescreen. Distract the victim from the most important thing and create the background you want. Against the background of a parallel reality, deception looks more natural. Use more color for your lies. Create a situation, circumstances confirming your words and honesty.

This method, for example, is used by bankrupt people. They waste money and lead a luxurious lifestyle, misleading others.

4. Principle of manipulation

Create such conditions when the enemy acts according to your plan. Encourage him to form certain conclusions that are beneficial to you. You are not deceiving, the person himself came to this conclusion.

Tell the truth under the guise of deception. As Otto von Bismarck said: "If you want to fool the world, tell it the truth." This technique works well in personal relationships.

5. The principle of open lies and treachery

It is not necessary to cover up lies or lies with facts. You can cheat openly. You can be treacherous by saying one thing and doing another. This kind of deception requires good memory and care.

6. The principle of red herring

Hiding lies or deceiving distractions with another striking fact. Let the interlocutor get the bait, divert attention. Do it the way magicians and cheaters do. They do tricks, distracting by talking and manipulating their hands. So you throw in distracting facts to mask the deception.

7. The principle of masking deception

Hide the deception under the guise of caring and kindness. Even great deception can be hidden under noble intentions.

8. The principle of throwing a thought

A person believes more in those thoughts that have arisen in his own head. Do not speak in plain text, but act in hints, indirectly influencing the person. People will believe what they have invented themselves. The sprout you have planted will give you the right thought. The fact that you have thrown a thought, no one will remember.

9. The principle of using human desires

Give the man what he wants. Promise to help him with his problems or hint at a successful outcome of the case. When desires become more real, a person forgets about everything. The person who helps cannot cheat. Later you can stab him in the back and trick him easily.

10. The principle of weak points

“Pick a master key for everyone. This is the art of managing people. He does not need courage, but skill, the ability to find an approach to a person "Baltasar Gracian

Each person has a key. It will rather be not the noble, but the base side of a person. Play on self-interest, envy, jealousy, ambition, pleasure, greed, stupidity or voluptuousness. Use the basest and darkest human instincts. You can easily deceive him or you can manipulate.

11. The principle of using lies and deceit

If you love, then the queen, if you steal, then a million!

The French philosopher and writer Luc de Clapier de Vauvenargue said: "The limit of cunning is the ability to manage without using force." Use the art of great deceivers only as a last resort. Do not waste your time on trifles. If you love, then the queen, if you steal, then a million!

  • super-promotions (incredibly low prices are set for the goods, which is explained by the arrival of a new collection, but you need to make an advance payment, while your transfer is received on the seller's account, the item of interest was sold, and no one wants to return the money);
  • committing fraudulent transactions with bank and credit cards (transfer of funds without the consent of the owner);
