There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam.\r\nCommon Sense: Too Good To Be True\r\nWhen looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact.\r\nIf an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website.\r\nCheck Out the Social Media Links\r\nSocial media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu","buttonText":"Read more","renderAsInertiaLink":true},{"id":4,"title":"How Do I Get Money Back From a Scammer?","url":"https://www.scamadviser.com/articles/how-do-i-get-money-back-from-a-scammer","excerpt":"So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!!\r\nIf you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. \r\nIf you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used.\r\n\r\nPayPal\r\nDebit card/Credit card\r\nBank transfer\r\nWire transfer\r\nGoogle Pay\r\nBitcoin\r\n\r\nPayPal\r\nIf you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase.\r\nConditions to file a dispute:\r\n\r\nThe simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. In this case this is what PayPal states: \"If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. It's that simple.\"\r\nThe scammer has sent you a completely different item. For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller. \r\nThe condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page.

    97 'Brain Training' Sites Trying to Get Your Money

    At some point or another, most of us have come across online tests which claim to measure your IQ. These websites also offer brain training exercises that supposedly make your mind sharper. These fun little tests seem to have a sinister side when people to not read the small print. You may unknowingly end up paying €20 to €89 per month as subscription fee. We identified 98 websites which all seem to be related. Are these a Brain Training Scam?

    In our research, we have found at least 97 websites which offer the same rewards, use similar layouts and have identical membership plans. Our suspicions that these websites are related, was confirmed when we found that 69.5% of the websites share just 8 IP addresses and 85.4% of websites are supposedly by the same company. Therefore, we can conclude that there seems to be established networks of Brain Training websites which are luring users into unintentionally signing up for monthly subscriptions to their services.

    How Do Brain Training Scams Work?

    The website we researched have a simple premise: lure users into sharing their card details and then charge a subscription fee every month.

    While the websites don’t show any obvious outward signs of being a scam, the number of reports we receive every month about these scams is considerable. Technically speaking, the websites have their bases covered so that they can put the full blame on users for not paying attention to the terms. They have prominent ‘Cancel Subscription’ buttons and outline the caveats of their ‘Membership Reward’ on the sign-up page. 

    However, as 91% to 97% of consumers don’t read terms and conditions before signing up for services, it is disingenuous on the part of these websites to hide the real details in the fine print.

    Brain Training Scam websites entice users with attractive gifts such as iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches or offer a ‘Free Trial’. However, users need to enter their card details to start the ‘Free Trial’ or pay $1 ‘membership fee’ to get the reward.

    What users often don’t realize is that they are signing up for a recurring subscription that has to be manually cancelled. Hidden in small print is the fact that by signing up for the ‘Free Trial’, you are agreeing to pay for a monthly subscription.

    In the case of the websites which offer ‘Membership Rewards’, the terms say that users are only eligible for the prize if they have the ‘highest activity’ AND 90 days have passed since the start of the subscription. This means that not only do users have to subscribe for at least 3 months, they also have to achieve the ‘highest activity’ to get their ‘Membership Reward’. 

    Even if a user realizes their mistake and wants to opt-out, unsubscribing seems to be a hurdle. While all the websites provide contact information, often the email IDs or phone numbers do not function. When checked, sevearal email IDs looked like they cannot receive emails and the phone numbers we tried seemed to be non-existent or are not answered.

    It starts getting more suspicious when you notice that most of these companies claim to be located in Nicosia, Cyprus or the Netherlands and provide a UK phone number. 81 out of the 97 websites we researched share many of the same company names and addresses, which makes it clearer that these websites are part of the same network.

    While it does look like the websites provide 'tests' after users sign up, we know for a fact that there are scores of users who feel duped after signing up on these websites. It is extremely suspicious for there to be multiple websites offering exactly the same services operated by the same companies. If you come across such a website, you now know the caveats to look out for.
