You will find that most of the people that get scammed suffer from one or more of the following:
1) Too busy to research into or check or the site properly.
2) Fail to see the warning signs because they are either naive or too enthusiastic.
3) Forget to engage "common sense".
4) Fail to understand that a site on the internet can be anywhere in the world and so are governed by different laws.
5) Do not know who they are paying their money to and what they are paying for.
6) Do not understand the concept of P2P or P2P networks.
7) Will jump first and (maybe) ask questions later.
8) Very gullible, have a tendancy to believe the "Highly Improbably", e.g. Unlimited MP3 downloads and Unlimited film downloads for a one off price, lifetime membership (to what?), etc.
9) Failure to take responsibility, i.e. "It's not my fault".
And so on.
Reading the site's advert checking for gramatical and or spelling mistakes is, quite frankly, a non-starter.
Still every little bit helps.

PS. Some people may think I am harsh and heartless but I get angry when working people (like myself) throw their hard earned money away to scammers who do nothing but sit back and laugh. They laugh at us because they think that working people are "stupid gullible chumps", easily fleeced of our cash and belongings. |
