And now what the unknown author writes:
How to deceive scammers and earn money through WebMoney
I want to tell:
About how they once cheated me, and how brazenly thousands of people cheat!!
I must say that I am not one of those people who are satisfied with the title of a fool or a more rude word - “sucker”!
I found a way to cheat this system! And make them suckers!
So, how to deceive scammers:
Read to the end!
Let's all fool them together - after all, there's a hell of a lot of money in that wallet!!!
1. How brazen scammers deceive people out of $150, and some out of even larger amounts.
2. How to deceive scammers and make money yourself
I found an article somewhere online with approximately the following content: “There is a magic wallet in the system, and everything you send to it will be returned to you in double size!!! Any amount from 3 wmz and above! If you send 3 wmz you will receive 6 wmz, if you send 10 wmz you will receive 20 wmz, etc.” Of course, everyone understands that it’s a scam, but if you dig deeper...
I didn’t believe it, but I sent 3 wmz for testing. After about 1 hour, I checked my wallet and found a deposit of 6 wmz! I must say I was very surprised. I sent 3 more wmz, again the same thing. Then I sent 15 wmz, I received 30 wmz. Emboldened, he finally sent everything I had - about 100 wmz... What happened next, I think you already understand. Nobody sent me any 200 wmz, and my 100 also disappeared forever...
It's clear how they work. They have a cunning program on their server that accepts amounts from about 3 wmz and up to about 30 wmz (I threw them 40 wmz and they took them away, and threw 25 wmz, the program returned 50 wmz) So they make thousands!
In general, what I mean is that if you are careful and send a small amount (they accept any amount), then you can always receive twice as much. They have special program, which looks at who made how many transfers and for what amount, in order to determine when to give up.
They never accept transfers up to 25 wmz. That is, by sending 3 wmz you will receive 6 in any case, because the amount is small and they will wait until you send more.
If you carefully send them small amounts, you can deceive them. They no longer look at the translations themselves, a special software (program) does it for them, which simplifies the likelihood of them being deceived.
I now earn about 700 wmz per week from this (you can make more). It's not millions, but it's a more or less stable income. I pay for internet and other little things...
There are tens (and maybe hundreds) of thousands of money in these wallets, and it really irritates me how they scam people, that’s why they need to be ruined.
Here's the wallet itself:
Zxxxxxxxxx
Advice: If at the first stage you have no money at all, then you can transfer the amount of 3 - 4 wmz until you get the hang of it. Attention! I repeat! There is no point in raising the rate, because if the bet is higher than 25 then the program takes them away, don’t even try!!!
You probably can’t understand why I told you about this and risk it? that the feeder may run dry. I’ll answer you, I’m afraid to take so much money, if there are a lot of us, then everyone can sleep peacefully and enjoy stable money. Also, when you start earning money, don’t forget about me. Send me a webmoney wallet R236190796170 amount that you will not mind for me.
According to Hackers stole almost a billion rubles from Russians in 2017 Central Bank, in 2017, 961 million rubles were stolen from the accounts of Russians. The average amount of a transaction for which the cardholder did not consent was 3,000 rubles. It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s still unpleasant, considering that often the theft could have easily been avoided.
Often it is a matter of simple carelessness. Technological progress has given us smart devices that make life easier, but, alas, not safer. By hacking one of the gadgets connected to home network, attackers can get your entire personal information. Personal data, logins, passwords - you yourself will not notice how information about your life on the Internet will float to scammers.
To find out how to reliably protect yourself from attacks by cybercriminals, come to the lecture “How your kettle will rob you: the basics of financial security in modern world" from the series "Financial Environment". Speaker - Artyom Sychev, Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Security and Information Protection of the Bank of Russia. He will tell you how cybercriminals manipulate the minds of victims, how your activity on social networks can play into the hands of scammers, and what to do if they are trying to rob you or have already been robbed.
The lecture will take place on May 16 at 19:00 in the Central Library named after N. A. Nekrasov (Moscow, Baumanskaya street, 58/25, building 14). All lectures in the “Financial Environment” series are free, but you need to register in advance to ensure you have enough space.
Tricks you need to know about
And yet, the Internet of things is often not as dangerous as the most banal and familiar money scams. It seems that everything is elementary, these tricks are well-known, but people still fall for them.
1. Offer a profitable job
If you come across an advertisement that promises good money for dust-free work from home, do not rush to rejoice. Often such stories turn out to be banal fraud.
You are asked to transfer a certain amount, for example, to pay teaching aids and to confirm the seriousness of your intentions. The money they ask for is not that much, especially compared to their future salary. Why not, you think. That's all. You can write to a failed employer as much as you like, but you’re unlikely to get a response. No one will return your money either.
What to do
Don't believe sweet promises. Look for reviews about working in the company - you will probably find stories of deceived people who received a donut hole instead of money. Finally, think soberly: why do you need to pay for a job that you haven’t gotten a job yet?
2. Letter from a “bank employee”
What to do
Do not provide your card details to anyone and do not follow dubious links. If a person posing as a bank employee asks for the card number, expiration date and CVV code, he is probably a fraudster. Call the bank's direct line and find out whether representatives of the financial institution actually sent you a letter.
3. Asking “friends” for help
Transfer the required amount, and then surprise: it turns out that your real friend did not ask you for any money. His page was simply hacked and a decent harvest was collected, playing on the feelings of gullible acquaintances.
What to do
Make sure this is really your friend. Call him, write an SMS, in general, contact him in any way other than a message on a social network. And just in case, change the password for your account, especially if you use the same one everywhere. You never know, then suddenly you will have to justify yourself to everyone who sent money to the swindler who introduced himself as your name.
4. Deceptive sellers
The scheme is extremely simple. You have found an advertisement for the sale of something that you really need. Only now the seller asks for an advance payment: who knows, what if you deceive him, you will receive the goods, but you will not transfer the money.
In fact, they are deceiving you. You send the required amount to the seller, he writes, they say, he sent the parcel, wait. You wait, and wait, and wait some more. As you might guess, the purchase will not arrive to you, because no one thought to send it.
What to do
Do not buy anything from dubious online stores. Before sending money, try to find information about the seller. Perhaps someone has already fallen for his bait and shared their indignation on the Internet. And, of course, insist on payment upon receipt of the parcel.
5. Questionable sites
For example, the same online store. You buy something there, enter your card details, and then receive a notification that an amount exceeding the purchase price has been debited from your account. And it’s good if such a notification comes only once.
Before you pay, please take a look at address bar. If the resource address begins with https, everything is fine, the connection is secure. If you use http, there is a high chance that your data will fall into the hands of criminals.
What to do
Watch carefully where and what data you enter. In cases where you do fall for scammers, immediately call the bank and block the card.
Vigilance is the best way to protect yourself from scammers, but other qualities are also needed to effectively manage your personal budget. On the website “Financial Culture” you will find practical advice on how to make friends with money and manage it wisely.
You can learn more about the methods of work of cybercriminals in the lecture “How your teapot will rob you: the basics of financial security in the modern world.” Sign up yourself and tell your friends about the lecture: such information is never superfluous.
Today the Internet has become the most universal service making life easier for humanity. With the help of the Internet you can do absolutely everything. If a person wants to earn or spend money, find entertainment or exchange thoughts with other people, the first thing that comes to mind is the Internet. However, at the same time that he was able to diversify our life, he also limited it.
The Internet is full of scammers who want to lighten someone else's wallet. At the same time, the number of methods of deception on the Internet is simply staggering. Just so that you don’t fall for another scam on the Internet, today we will try to describe everything that should be on your guard when “visiting” the World Wide Web.
Common ways to cheat on the Internet
First of all, you must be careful. In fact, attentiveness is the only thing that can save you from offers from scammers. And knowing the popular methods of deception on the Internet, which are presented below, will help you “recognize the wolf.”
Electronic money generators
Number one on the list of scammers’ favorite deceptions is all kinds of programs and services that generate currency. The work of each of them is explained differently, but none of them actually work, it’s all a scam. If you are offered such income, refuse.
Earning money from surveys and clicks
By themselves, these exist, and they are not fraudulent. But there are many offers on the Internet that bribe users with their inflated prices per click, survey or captcha, thereby deceiving them.
The main signs of sites that do not pay:
- Overpriced for 1 action;
- Large minimum withdrawal amount;
- To make a withdrawal you need to invest your money or bring so many friends.
On the right, you can see a classic example of a scam site. There is no point in mentioning the name of the site, since they are constantly changing, but the design of the scammers has remained the same for several years.
Investment projects
The most popular method of deception. Internet users receive profitable proposition invest money at very significant interest rates, but only after replenishing the account, naturally, the investor understands that he will not receive a penny of profit, not to mention the loss of his hard-earned money.
Online casino
This is an offer to win through the use of clever gaming techniques. You may have also come across an advertisement: “I earn $300 a day.” Or something similar.
No strategy for playing slots can produce constant winnings. Such sites and videos are created, as a rule, only to attract attention to the casino. They say that by applying this technique in this establishment, you will become fabulously rich. In practice, a person goes into a rage and spends all his money. And the one who pulled it all off receives a commission from the casino.
Money exchange
A type of fraud that is not as popular lately as it used to be. The bottom line is that you are advised by exchange points where you can convert currency at a profit for yourself. Using this method of deception, they advertise very low-quality services.
Auto earnings
Fraud on the offer of passive income. There are no people who would not like to sit, do nothing and receive money for it, however, there are programs and sites that generate income of more than 1000 rubles/1 month. simply doesn't exist. And this figure is too high.
Magic e-wallets
IN in this case scammers promise that if you transfer any amount to a certain wallet, it will be returned back in double volume. Is there really anyone who believes in this? The fraud is obvious. Why would someone transfer their money to you, and even using such complex technology, because it’s easier to give you the money right away, and it’s all done?
Financial pyramids
You can’t argue that in this case there are organizations that actually pay money, but their number is minimal, most of them are scams.
Often, only the most active employees who bring more and more new clients receive money. And when there are too many of them in an organization, the organization ceases to exist.
In some cases, such companies restart the project. Investors are told: “We have corrected the weaknesses of our marketing plan.” But in reality, the office is folding and trying to squeeze out some more money.
Hacks (sites, wallets, profiles)
Such tools are popular solely because of the faith people have in such services. And in the form of a special software All kinds of virus programs are spreading.
And instead of receiving a program to hack, say, an account on social networks, such a smart guy himself becomes a victim of deception on the Internet.
Intimidation
This is an assistant to scammers who force victims to transfer money to the accounts of criminals. This technology is used exclusively by the most cunning criminals. Banners appear about your laptop being infected or about the need to update your browser, and to correct the situation you supposedly need to urgently send an SMS. As a result, such a message costs you a lot and the problem will not be solved.
In this case, it is better to check your device for viruses or contact specialists, but under no circumstances send paid messages.
Offers from well-known organizations
Probably, such offers have come to you too. In such messages, “representatives” of Webmoney or other significant companies suddenly decided to offer you something. The classic option is when you need to pay tax on your winnings. Or top up such and such a mobile account in order to activate “incredibly preferential conditions” from the mobile operator. But it's all a lie.
Be sure to check phone numbers and contact employees of these organizations using official phone numbers and report scammers.
This is a site spoofing. Visually, the sites look like real ones, but in the end people are all possible methods are directed to a “fraudulent site”, where users personally send personal confidential data to the attackers.
To avoid falling into such a trap, always check the address (domain) in the browser line before entering your data; if even one character is changed, this is phishing.
You need to be especially vigilant when visiting websites payment systems, although social networking sites can also be faked. If you are suddenly thrown back to the login page, check the site address.
Personal contact
You shouldn’t immediately rejoice if you’re in social network written by an unknown handsome guy or girl. This could be a scammer who wants to drag you into his scam. There are many cases where scams were carried out by the hands of “charmed” users, but the real fraudster remained unpunished.
Content subscriptions
Their registration takes place without the knowledge of users. The deception scheme is extremely simple - the user goes to the resource and confirms his phone number there, where he is automatically subscribed to the series paid services, which begin to be withdrawn from your account in small amounts so that you do not notice the loss. To avoid this situation, follow these simple rules:
- do not download files with SMS subscription;
- If you can't do without it, always read Terms of use, it must indicate tariffs;
- you did not find tariffs in the agreement - this is a reason to stop;
- If you realize it too late, call the operator and unsubscribe from all paid subscriptions to your phone number.
Charity
It is very unfortunate, but attackers have gotten into the habit of using even the desire to help for their own purposes. You couldn’t help but notice that from time to time on social networks people ask for help in raising this or that amount of money. But according to statistics, half of these posters are the machinations of scammers who deceive you.
Typing texts
The Internet is full of advertisements from so-called publishing houses that are recruiting for the position of typist. And in the process, scammers begin to ask to send money on disks (on which they send you materials for work) or a deposit payment. But as soon as the money arrives in the scammers’ accounts, the publishing house immediately “disappears into thin air.”
Give your card details
The essence of the deception is simple - they offer you a job, and at the same time offer to pay the fee to your card. After this, they are asked to dictate the card details, including the code CVV2 or CVC2 (3 digits on the back of the card), intended for payment on the Internet.
In fact, to transfer money, it is enough to know the sixteen-digit card number and full name to make sure that there is no mistake in the number. If they ask for more data, it means they intend not to top up the card, but to empty it.
Cheating on the Internet where to turn
We've figured out what you shouldn't do to avoid becoming another victim of fraud. But sometimes, no matter how vigilant we are, they manage to deceive us. And then the question arises: “What to do now?”
From the point of view of the law, fraud is the theft of property carried out through deception or abuse of the trust of the owner. In other words, online theft of other people's money is the same criminal offense as others, since illegal actions are carried out in real life.
If you have suffered as a result of the actions of scammers on the Internet, you need to go where you go in case of ordinary theft, that is, to the police. If you think that the matter is hopeless because you do not know the attackers by sight, then this is a big mistake.
Over the years of investigating Internet fraud, law enforcement agencies have learned to work well in this direction. In addition, you may not have become the first victim of these scammers, and it is your information that can help identify the criminals.
If you transferred money to a scammers’ electronic wallet (for example, through the WebMoney system), you need to contact the employees of this organization. It is quite possible that your statement will be an impetus for blocking the accounts of scammers. This organization can also help clarify the passport details of criminals. This data will allow you to go to court and claim to recover your money from the scammers. Money.
You can also complain about scam sites on special Internet resources that are designed specifically to block such sites. Another resource where you can complain about attackers is the Roskomnadzor website. This organization controls information technologies and identifying internet villains.
Penalties
The article for deception on the Internet, under which criminals who committed fraud via the Internet will be judged, depends on the amount of loot. If the amount of stolen property is no more than 1,000 rubles. Administrative punishment will be applied to the fraudster. In other words, the criminal will pay a fine or be arrested for 15 days.
If the amount of fraud committed is more than 1,000 rubles, this is already criminally punishable. The Criminal Code contains special a rule that provides for liability in the form of arrest for 4 months. Moreover, if there are aggravating circumstances (group theft, theft on a large or especially large scale, etc.), then the fraudster will receive a punishment of imprisonment for up to 10 years.
An offense such as demanding the transfer of funds with the threat of distribution confidential information or other information (for example, distribution of personal photographs) is considered extortion.
Depending on the situation, fraudsters may be punished not only for theft, but also for criminal acts in the field of computer information.
Cheating on the Internet is not new to humanity. However, we all hope for the best every time, becoming potential victims of scammers and their scammers. This article, of course, will not save all of humanity from scammers, but I hope it will help you to minimize the risk of being deceived and ending up in an unpleasant situation.
One maniac set up a website with a counter and declared on it that he would kill his rabbit if he did not urgently collect 200 thousand dollars. The counter showed how much was still missing to “ransom” the rabbit. Compassionate users collected the required amount.
Or here’s another case of making money from collective charity: a certain girl published a photograph of herself with her bare breasts. Her breasts made such a pitiful impression that people from all over the world quickly sent her money for plastic surgery. Then the young lady thanked all the sponsors by posting her new photo on the same website - with a magnificent silicone bust.
This story looks more like a fundraiser than a scam. However, we will never know who exactly was hiding behind the image of the poor girl and whether the rabbit that half of America was saving actually existed...
It also happens that scammers pretend to be single women on domestic dating sites. They post a photo of a beauty there (sometimes a popular singer or fashion model, but for some reason no one notices this) and start a long correspondence with the foreigner they like. The correspondence becomes more and more intimate, the foreigner invites the lady to visit him - in another country. And then she, poor thing, admits that she doesn’t have enough money for a ticket. A foreigner sends her money. After which the mysterious lady disappears. This type of fraud requires a certain artistry and mastery of the epistolary genre. According to statistics, the turnover in this area of fraud is $2 billion a year. Other scammers flood the Internet with Trojan viruses that hunt for users' bank account numbers and passwords. You never know how many tricks electronic combinators have come up with! There is such a primitive “scheme”: e-mails are sent to many addresses, saying that we have found a huge treasure here on the territory of the state of Limonia, but we do not have enough money for travel and various formalities. If anyone helps, we will share the treasure. People are biting! Or, for example, the victim of deception receives e-mail notification that he is the lucky one who won the lottery. To receive your winnings you need to pay tax: transfer the money to such and such an account. Oddly enough, such idiotic traps work. It is not clear why many people are so willing to believe in the story of the treasure, and that they won a lottery in which they did not participate. These types of fraud, blackmail and begging are as old as time. Only in our enlightened age are they carried out using the latest interfaces.
Unchangeable cheese
Among fans of online freebies, there is a legend about a certain mysterious electronic wallet, the address of which periodically pops up here and there. The legend is simple: you transfer any amount to it, and in return they send you twice as much! Indeed, sometimes you come across such a web page, lavishly decorated with large multi-colored font and a photograph of a fat man who, with bulging eyes, is counting a wad of dollars. It says something like this: “Once I saw my boss transferring one hundred bucks to such and such an address, and immediately two hundred came back to him! Don't be a fool, I wrote down the address and sent a dollar there to try. It worked! Two dollars came back. Sent five, ten returned. Then I became brave and sent a hundred. Two hundred have returned! The boss noticed my scam and fired me. But I don’t care about that, because now I have tons of money. This is the address. Enjoy it for your health. Just don’t be greedy - don’t transfer money there more than five times a day, don’t overload the server.”
Well, why not a fairy tale about the irredeemable ruble?! Or, rather, about free cheese... The practical side of the matter is this. Someone got himself an electronic wallet and posted its address online with this fancy comment. Moreover, to clear my conscience, I added: believe it or not. It seems that everything is clear - they are collecting money from narrow-minded idlers.
But for every poison (that is, cheese) there is an antidote. On one forum, someone shared their experience. I supposedly transferred 50 cents to such an account - the dollar came back. I sent a dollar and got two back. But when I sent $50, nothing came back. I realized that I had been scammed and decided to act smarter. I sent one dollar each from many different addresses. And for each one came twice as much. After all, newcomers are not abandoned. On the contrary, small amounts are regularly doubled - in order to lure a new victim! In short, deception technologies and ways to circumvent this deception are constantly being improved on the Internet. And at the heart of all this fuss is a person’s strong and ineradicable desire to get money for nothing. The Internet, with its anonymity and inclusiveness, has become an ideal field for such adventures. A person visiting a site can judge it only by the information posted there. Suppose there are mountains of gold drawn there and it says: stop working! If you want to get rich, click here! And they press... This wastes a lot of time and money.
