Country is hard, people are finding it's hard to eat three square meal,yet what some can do in this pressing issue scamming their fellow human. We not only communicate online nowadays,it's has been a platform where we now shop,bank and lot more ,the way people lose their money,their account every dayl ,shows we need to very careful of whatever we do online. We have to learn some habits that would keep us safe online.
I have learnt habits of not Just clicking on any links any how online, if the link doesn't come from a trusted source ,I won't click it no matter what ,even when it brings me to update an app, I rather go to play store then type out the app and upgrade it there. This has been of the lesson I learnt after my Facebook page was hacked .
Another online habits I learnt was not putting out all information about myself online, sometimes as a business owner trying to grow ,trying to make people believe me that I am real and not scam, I'm tempted to put everything that my clients will hold on to to give me that trust,at the same time I tell myself what if my clients is a prey, we hear kidnapping issues here and there ,So I decided that my customers won't pass me by,if they are meant to be buy from me they will stay, I can only put few details about myself out there.
And another one is online dating. Scammers use romance to scam people of their privacy, they act like they are in love,they lure you into getting your nudes and then ,come to blackmail you with it later. It has cause many their finances and even make them lose their mind, their lifes.
We should stay alert and very very careful out there , especially about online stuff, scammers are becoming more creative everyday.
