Internet Scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated and remarkably believable.
They're modern versions of the con-jobs than have been been around for centuries. Con-men earn your trust, then take your money. The Internet just makes it quicker and easier for crooks to find soft-hearted gullible (often elderly) victims.
The best thing to do is to learn about them, so you won't fall prey to these scammers.
Here's a list of popular scams and related information that's worth reading and watching.
Like most business owners, you probably pay $15/year to have your mycompany.com domain registered with GoDaddy.
You also probably receive scam letters in the mail from Domain Listings in Las Vegas, Nevada.
If you receive a letter like this, just throw it in the trash.
It's a scam and they're hoping you don't understand how domain registration works or are in too much of a rush to read the fine print. Unfortunately, enough people fall for this each year to have kept them in business for decades.
