A scam is a very familiar word in today's world which everyone has listened and I think most of us experienced it also.

Scam- It can be defined as an incident in which you get cheated and lose valuable things of your life.

There are lots of types of scams now in this world and everyday people are developing ways to scam people. Wow such creative people we have.

There are lots of common types of scams in the market

  • The most common one is the fake, email and calls ones in which someone tries to act as a representative of a bank employee or from some big agency and try to fish you saying that you have won this much amount, this bike, car etc. And to get it you just have to click on this link, send some funds to this account etc.

Have you ever been scammed?

I have been.

  • With the rise of Crypto, the scam projects in Cryptocurrencies are on rising which attracts people in their airdrop and pre-sale and just at the launch time of their coin or token dump it.

  • When you visit a new place. Some shopkeepers or sellers charge you more than the actual cost just because you aren't local, yes this is a type of scam. Give fake D quality products when you order or ask for the original.

  • And how can I forget about the relationships scam, haha, our humans love this one.

A common reason to scam, to gain a lot of money in short time.
  • There are a lot of other scams like policies scams, bank scams, and EMI scams.

There are too many scams everywhere. The world isn't that innocent now. With the literacy rate increasing the scam rate is also increasing, I believe it's the lack of not studying Moral Science in the school days.

Its Effect:-

The effect of scams is devastating for many people when there is money involved. The scammers get the easy money but the hard workers lose it. In Pandemic time also a lot of new start-ups came which promised online earning and where are they know.

The way of scamming people is developing with time and so people should be aware of how to counter them.

How To Counter:-

  • The easiest way to counter them is to stay away from any temptations which promise you quick money. Invest your time and money which you think won't matter even if you get tricked.

  • Create passwords and locks in your transactions of ATM and online payment services.

The most common victims of scams are generally innocent people and old age people who can be easily fooled with today's technology. So if you have someone like that in your family aware them of such things first.

Also those with a lack of knowledge. Gain as much as knowledge you can in every field.

Own Experience

I still remember a women from a policy agency frauded my parents with a big amount for children's policy. They were new to to the city and didn't have much experience. She convinced them in a very professional way. Later when father went to the agency to get the funds back, the agency said she was a thug and has left the company by scamming lots of people.

Since the paper given by her were not clear we didn't received our invested funds back.

Final Thoughts

I guess with time there will be new ways to scam people and new ways to avoid also. So keep yourself updated and don't fall for any tempting traps. There's always a shortcut for everything which may give people the growth which normal work can give in 10years, and can get it in 2-3months. But is It worth. No every evil work has a punishment, if not now then in future it will bite those types of people.

And one question Will you forgive these type of people?

Me nope, because these type of people continue to live there life like that and will never change themselves unless and until punished.

And any new types of scam which you know!

Ah after a long time I am in village right now, c'mon help me with a bit, my internet connection. It seems I will be busy enjoying nature for two days, Yay!

Advancing time causes scammers to change methods. I hear of many new cases, and despite all the prevention efforts, people still believe and lose their monetary value.

I am thankful that I was not scammed in my journey to cryptocurrency. But I was caught to log in and enter into the discord of scammers, that Discord will lend VIS for you to.play Pegaxy, and it will have your share. At first, I was hesitate to apply and do the trend, I did not apply until.one dayy friends who applied to the Discord got promoted and they invested little VIS to.play and in the next day the Discord just vanished. Best lesson is to read everything of what you're up to. Research is a must.

It really takes a lot to trust such easy money scams these days, especially when it involves investments. I've learned form my neighbors experiences and that I ought to be wiser when such temptations arise.

The most commonest type of scam in my country is the internet scam perpetrated by internet fraudsters on people who are either naive or greedy enough.... Ofcourse I wouldn't ever forgive such persons cos they know what they are doing is wrong

It's saddens the heart seeing how scam is increasing at high rate, scammers just want to dupe people by all means. I remembered sometimes 2020 during covid lockdown, someone called my number and impersonated as my bank account manager, he wanted to defraud me of my hard-earned money, i thank God i never fell for it. We need to be careful, also and apply all the preventive measures you listed above.

What about the pandemic scam (PlanDemic or ScamDemic), the biometrics scam (Aadhar in India, and national ID projects in many other countries), the passwordless scam, mainstream news scam, "100 percent safe COVID jab" scam, health insurance scam, and so on.

My dear friend, I completely agree with you, unfortunately with the advancement of technology, we see new types of scams every day, which have never even occurred to us. Scammers are lurking everywhere, using all sorts of tricks to extort money from others.

Thankfully I never get scammed by anyone because I did a lot of research before investing my money because I value money and know it's difficult to earn and if we talk about love scams I got scammed many times but still didn't learn a lesson
