Watch out for scams

Know a scam when you see one!

Have you ever received an email from someone you didn’t know only to find it was a anti-ageing offer? Most of us have. And the company that sent it to you has already labelled themselves as a scam – by sending unsolicited emails. And there are a number of other tell-tale indicators that can help you know weather you’re looking at a scam or not.

First of all, if you have an email you didn’t ask for, DON’T OPEN IT! Don’t click on anything in it, and most importantly, DON’T BUY THROUGH THAT EMAIL. “But I like the product” you say. If you are interested, write down the name of their website on a piece of paper, then open a new browser and type it into the address bar. This will help break the chain of spam.

Better yet, find a DIFFERENT company that offers that product, or get more information through an ‘opt in’ system – one where you have to request information by email. A ‘double opt in’ system is even safer, because they’ll first send you a confirmation email, to which you respond to confirm that you will accept information they send out to you.

Responding only ‘opt in’ emails is a good start. If you never click through a spam email, you’re telling the vendor “I don’t like spam’, and spammers will eventually give up spamming – what a dream THAT would be! Do your part.
