Anatomy Of An Online Scam:

Anatomy Of An Online Scam.

Treat every new site as a scam.

































Looks legit?, Right?





































Order form has “cred”, Right?





































"Frequently Asked Questions", Right?





































"Customer reviews", Right?





















Hmmm, chat’s offline?, yeah right...





































Big claims, Right?




WRONG.


fastra1n / fastunlockiphone.com is fraudulent.
You will *not* jailbreak or unlock your iPhone. You will lose $24.99.
Karma doesn’t register with these people. Screw ‘em protect yourself.
































The only way to ‘contact’ anyone: eMail. (fake captcha and all).



It’s best to treat any potential purchases from a business as if you’ve been scammed; attempt to contact the company; no / unanswered / invalid phone number?



Search the business online, in the case of new products, wait for a credible source before committing.


At least order by credit, you can usually be reimbursed by the card companies in the event of a scam such as this.


Search Avoiding Online Fraud.


Been scammed by an online ‘business’?

-Copy and/or screen-shoot any and all information, and file with the Better Business Bureau (USA); and the Internet Service Provider (eMail issuer) for the support [if any], or contact listings.
