Raghib Khan speaks on how Digital Scammers, Spammers, Fraudulent Threatening Internet Users

Digital scammers, spammers, and fraudulent individuals threaten the safety of internet users on a daily basis. To avoid being duped by these conniving criminals, it’s important to know how they operate and how to spot them before they scam you out of your hard-earned money or sensitive personal information. Based on the conversation with Raghib Khan, Co-founder of RNF Technologies; this article will discuss three of the most common types of scammers and give you tips to help you avoid falling victim to their scams in the future.

How online crooks make money
Digital scammers, spammers and fraudsters are a threat to internet users. They steal money and information from people through lies and deceit. Digital criminals can be very technical in their approach by using scammer websites or malware. However, some of them can be very simple such as lottery scams that appear genuine but are not real at all. Even email spam can contain malicious links that lead you to phishing sites where crooks harvest your personal information such as login credentials.

How they target their victims
A digital scammer might send out thousands of spam emails in hopes that some recipients will click on a link or provide personal information like passwords and credit card numbers. They can then use that information to access bank accounts and other financial resources. A fraudulent website might ask for a user’s credit card number before providing access to free music downloads. Though it may seem harmless, scammers gain access to your bank account after you give them your credit card number.

The danger of social media
Social media sites have made communication with other people around the world easier than ever before. Social media apps make it so you don’t even have to leave your house to communicate with people all over. The ease of communication is wonderful, but there is a dark side. Many social media apps are used by scam artists and other fraudulent users who are after one thing: your money.

Avoid making mistakes
You can prevent being a victim of digital scammers by avoiding making mistakes. Make sure you don’t open suspicious emails or attachments. If you get an email from someone you don’t know that asks for money, do not respond to it. Even if it is a legitimate request and they send you another email asking for your banking information, do not provide it. If something seems too good to be true online, it probably is.
