How to Avoid Internet Marketing Scams
When working on the World Wide Web, you can encounter a lot of unpleasant things such as viruses, spam and other links to potential frauds. One of these things is a banner blocker-extortionist. This banner blocks the desktop or browser, and demands you to pay money for the termination of its activity. There are several types of banners and removing them becomes quite difficult sometimes.
The World Wide Web contains several sites that can be a threat to your computer. Such sites have resources that are engaged in various types of fraud, the proliferation of pornographic materials or propaganda of terrorism, etc. These sites are included in the so-called “black list”.
The internet is a breeding ground for various kinds of scams that try to gain access to the personal data of internet users. They use various means – from email to social networks – in order to break into someone else’s computer.
Preventing scammers from accessing your computer or laptop is quite easy, if you pay close attention and take necessary measures for basic safety.

If you do not want to become the victim of a scam, do not try to buy the "extremely profitable" and "ultra-cheap" offers on the internet. Seeing an interesting proposal, check for its validity and try to call if they have provided a toll free number. Always think twice after accepting a profitable deal. Think about why they are giving such a discount? For example, if they are giving a big discount on food, this may be due to the expiration date. So before buying, read the date of manufacture and shelf life of the finished product.

To protect yourself from scams, verify the information you provided. If the company has decorated their office with diplomas and certificates, read the details of the organizations from which the diplomas and all the pasted documents have been issued. Then call these institutions, to check whether or not this company has been awarded these certifications. If you find any company guilty of providing false information, take them to the justice court. After all, providing customers with false information is a big crime.

Trust only the facts. For example, if an internet entrepreneur says that they have been in the business for the past 10 years, check the age of the site.
