Web Sites &Techniques to Avoid

Google
 

There are certain techniques that websites use that are considered to be immoral by the web community, and no reputable website would use these techniques. Sometimes though you will see these dirty techniques even on reputable sites, but usually the techniques they use on reputable site will only slightly go over the line.

One of the worst techniques is the un-closeable window and even worst is when you close a window then one or several more pop up. Then the more you try to close the windows the more new ones pop up. These are mainly used by pornography sites. Often people open these sites by mistake or out of curiosity. You then find out that no matter what you do to close them the worst it gets. You may then be forced to shut down your computer, or you can reduce all the windows so they are still open but you cannot see them.

If it really gets out of hand you can just reduce these pages and open another window to continue your web experience. But regardless what you do more windows can continue to pop up for no apparent reasons (they are often on a timer). They can even put an ICON on you desktop, which can often be very embarrassing if other people use your computer and see several sex site icons on your computer. Or they can place several of their sites on your favorite web site list without telling you.

Anyone who would use these techniques is not to be trusted. If you decide to purchase something on one of these site or if they require you to enter your credit card information to view the site for a trail period, do not be surprised if your credit card gets charged for the use of several other websites. When they bill (they say it is for your own protection), they often use innocent sounding names like “Nature’s Path” or “Journey Inc.” so it may go past you when you check you credit card bill.

Other dirty techniques are to send you an email that they make appear to be something other than what it really is. Be highly suspicious when you receive an email with an innocent looking description such as “Haven’t heard from you in a while.” or “The information you wanted.” Then when you open the email they tell you to “click here for more information.” The more information is often a porno site or an ad page to sell you anyone of so many products. Even worst by clicking the link you may be allowing them to send a file with a virus in it to you.

It is now illegal to send unsolicited emails that do not give a general idea what the email is really about in the message line. This is especially true for sexually explicit subjects. So if a person is already committing a crime why would they not commit a crime to also take your money?

In general it is a really good idea to not trust any email from a company that you do not know as it is considered bad Internet business practice to send unsolicited emails to people.

You know that without a doubt you should not do business with any site that you have never heard of and does not have their contact information listed with a valid address and phone number.

Some sites try to have a name that is similar to another famous site. They can even copy the look and design of the real site.

The general rule is if it seems to be too good to be true it is definitely a con.

PayPal or Ebay Scam
One scam you have to look out for is when people send you an email telling you that you are being send a random email from PayPal requesting you to click on a link contained in the email. In the email there is a warning not to give your PayPal password to anyone asking for it in an email. When you click the link that they tell you too what comes up is a page that looks exactly link the PayPal log in page. So when you type in your user name and password you could be sending it to the person that send you the email. They can then enter you PayPal account, change you PayPal password and they can then change where payments go from your bank account to theirs, and then empty your PayPal account.

These types of emails can also be sent to you about other web site too. An important point is that when you go to PayPal always go there by typing into the address box the PayPal URL (www.paypal.com) to go to the site.

Increase Your Size is 30 Days
One product that it is extremely popular now is an email that guarantees to increase your manhood by 2 to 3 inches. Many companies have started sending these emails and one website made over 70 million dollars before it was closed down by the US government. So far none of the companies that promise to increase your manhood have proven to actually do it that I know of. Many of the companies that sell this product copy some herbal recipe they read about and none of them have proven to be effective.

Overcharge by Porno Sites
Sex Site often offer you to submit your credit card information to use their site for a free trail period and you will not be charged I know someone who got charged over $240 on their credit card and did not get it back. This company also charged thousands of other people illegally These sex site companies can then start charging your credit card to one, if not several sex site.

Millions of Dollars Waiting for You
One that you should not trust at all is when you get a letter from Nigeria where the author tells you he is the late secretary of the King or president and needs help to transfer 10 million (sometimes more) into your account to get the money out of the country. To help him out in this way they will get you a million dollars of the money.

I Want to Buy From Your Companies Many Products
Another con is when people write you from Africa that they want to buy a bunch of things from your store and can they charge it on their credit card. They then tell you can you also purchase me an expensive camera and computer and you can add that onto the bill. If you do so the credit card is at first authorized for the payment and after you ship the items the supposed customer reverses the charges.
