Scambusters, Preventing Internet Scams & Phishing Attempts

This blog is dedicated to help preventing internet fraud and internet scams. Scambusters was a radio show I started in Albany Oregon, but due to defaulted payment by the radio station we took the show offline. Regardless of this issue we still wish to help prevent internet fraud and save people from internet loss. I have been interviewed and featured in various publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times & Daily News, The London Times & AARP Newsletters. Please watch this blog for latest tips and tricks and scams to avoid.

SCAM -- Find new work - id \ 1288013790...

Job Scam, They will move money with fake or stolen credit cards, or extract money from stolen bank accounts. Send you checks and/or money order and/or cash and ask you to keep some and forward the rest onto other people and/or companies.

Several bad things will happen or could happen, at least one of these will happen.

1. Your bank will tell you that the deposits are fake, and you will now be responsible for all the money you withdrew and sent onward.

2. The police or federal agents will come break down the door and arrest you for wire fraud, and you will have your assets frozen and big lawyer fees, if and when you get bonded out of jail.

Avoid these scams.
