Recognizing scams

Most scams attempts involve one or more of the following:

• Email or text from someone that is not local to your area.
• Vague initial inquiry, e.g. asking about "the item." Poor grammar/spelling.
• Western Union, Money Gram, cashier check, money order, paypal, shipping, escrow service, or a "guarantee."
• Asking for a FEE in order for you to receive money is the most common scam.
• Inability or refusal to meet face-to-face to complete the transaction.

---

Examples of Scams

1. Someone claims your transaction is guaranteed, that a buyer/seller is officially certified, OR that a third party of any kind will handle or provide protection for a payment:

• These claims are fraudulent, as transactions are between users only.
• The scammer will often send an official looking (but fake) email that appears to come from craigslist or another third party, offering a guarantee, certifying a seller, or pretending to handle payments.

2. Distant person offers a genuine-looking (but fake) cashier's check:

• You receive an email or text (examples below) offering to buy your item, pay for your services in advance, or rent your apartment, sight unseen and without meeting you in person.
• A cashier's check is offered for your sale item as a deposit for an apartment or for your services.
• Value of cashier's check often far exceeds your item—scammer offers to "trust" you, and asks you to wire the balance via money transfer service.
• Banks will cash fake checks AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE WHEN THE CHECK FAILS TO CLEAR, sometimes including criminal prosecution.
• Scams often pretend to involve a 3rd party (shipping agent, business associate, etc.).

3. Someone requests wire service payment via Western Union or MoneyGram:

• Deal often seems too good to be true, price is too low, or rent is below market, etc.
• Scam "bait" items include apartments, laptops, TVs, cell phones, tickets, other high value items.
• Scammer may (falsely) claim a confirmation code from you is needed before he can withdraw your money.
• Common countries currently include: Nigeria, Romania, UK, Netherlands—but could be anywhere.
• Rental may be local, but owner is "travelling" or "relocating" and needs you to wire money abroad.
• Scammer may pretend to be unable to speak by phone (scammers prefer to operate by text/email).

4. Distant person offers to send you a cashier's check or money order and then have you wire money:

• This is ALWAYS a scam in our experience—the cashier's check is FAKE.
• Sometimes accompanies an offer of merchandise, sometimes not.
• Scammer often asks for your name, address, etc. for printing on the fake check.
• Deal often seems too good to be true.

5. Distant seller suggests use of an online escrow service:

• Most online escrow sites are FRAUDULENT and operated by scammers.
• For more info, do a google search on "fake escrow" or "escrow fraud."

6. Distant seller asks for a partial payment upfront, after which they will ship goods:

• He says he trusts you with the partial payment.
• He may say he has already shipped the goods.
• Deal often sounds too good to be true.

7. Foreign company offers you a job receiving payments from customers, then wiring funds:

• Foreign company may claim it is unable to receive payments from its customers directly.
• You are typically offered a percentage of payments received.
• This kind of "position" may be posted as a job, or offered to you via email.

Your New Year's Resolution: Become a Good Samaritan

What it Means to Be a Good Samaritan

• A compassionate person who unselfishly helps others, especially strangers. 
• A person who voluntarily gives help to those in distress or need. 
• A person who helps other people and especially strangers when they have trouble.

At this time of year, it's hard not to think about making a long list of New Year's resolutions. Usually it's the same ol', same ol' on everyone's goal list: lose weight, eat healthier, exercise more often, spend more time with your kids, become more financially secure.

While many of these goals are important, and even life-changing, there's one goal we could all work on -- and fairly easily, too -- and that is simply becoming a better person. It doesn't necessarily take a lot of money or a lot of effort, but there are small ways to make a difference in someone's life.

Cyber Begging and Crowdfunding on Begslist.com

Begslist.com Announces the Launch of a New Crowdfunding Website

Just in time for the Christmas, Begslist has released their newly redesign crowdfunding website.

Chicago, IL – December 23, 2016 – Every year crowdfunding campaigns have become a very popular way for people to raise money for businesses, fundraisers, causes or personal issues especially during the holiday season. Begslist.com is proud to announce their newly redesign crowdfunding platform to help those in need.

Begslist was one of the first crowdfunding websites that allows friends, family, and strangers to donate to those in need. The new Begslist crowdfunding website is simple to use with a step-by-step process to help you create and start you own fundraising campaign in no time. Begslist is a crowdfunding platform that attracts specific types of supporters most likely to be sympathetic to you cause. We all may have been in your shoes at one point of time so there are many out there that understand your situation. Begsist believes in “People Helping People”.

The Begslist founder, Rex Camposagrado, notes that “the most successful crowdfunding campaigns are not as simple as “post it and forget it” and receiving contributions overnight. You will need to do some of the legwork yourself by knowing your crowd.”.

Mr. Camposagrado also states, “The first and most important crowd would be friends and family. After your friends and family donate to your cause, you should encourage them to spread the word about your crowdfunding campaign to their “crowd” of friends and family on their social media”.

It's great when friends and family can help donate. But if they can't donate at this time, it doesn't mean that they can't help. Ask them to share your Begslist crowdfunding page via social media, email and word of mouth to tell their friends and more people about your campaign. The third type of crowd is the general public. The general public can find your crowdfunding page by exploring the Begslist website or see it on social media. If you don’t have too many friends or family members to help spread the word about your campaign, then there are affordable crowdfunding marketing services out there that such as: https://www.fiverr.com/crowdfundingpro/promote-your-fundraising-or-crowdfunding-campaign

Begging For money I Need To Help

Begslist has tried to keep the reputation of establishing for (Since 2007) an itself as free cyber begging website that allows access to anyone who needs help as compared to a paid cyberbegging (pay-to-post) website by offering users FREE postings to ask for help.

If you need beg for money post an appeal and the generous will be able to browse and search and respond to you directly. Donors will be able to give with their credit card or through PayPal. Those asking for donations can get identity verification through Begslist to inspire confidence in their pleas.

Reality Charity will be a for profit site, though its revenue will come in the form of advertising and through larger groups looking to raise money. Money won’t be taken from donors or individual recipients.

Something tells me I’m not alone in thinking this is going to bring out everyone with the ability to spin a sob story and turn it into a request for money. You’d hope most people would be honest. You’d also hope most would do a little bit of research before giving money directly to someone. Is it realistic to think that either will always be the case?

Pick a tragedy that a large number of people have likely experienced in some way. Tell them how you’re currently undergoing the same tragedy and you’ll hit an emotional chord with those people. Some of whom will give as a way to heal their own pain or in the honest attempt to help someone else avoid some of that pain.

There’s nothing wrong with giving and there’s nothing wrong with asking for help when you need it. People do suffer financial crisis through no fault of their own and sometimes need assistance to get out from under the situation. Charity and community can both be very good things. But without any real verification the site could be launching one scam after another.

I want to believe this will be something good and the site will end up helping many people in need. I really do. I’m also sure there will be many happy stories to come out of the site. Something tells me though, that we may end up hearing more stories of people giving to what they thought was someone in need only to find out later that need either never existed or was over dramatized to tug on people’s heart strings.

But if you do need money to pay off some debt now you have a site to legitimize your cyber begging.

Beg for money having trouble paying off your student loan? Maybe you’ve overextended yourself with credit card purchases or have some other use for some cash. No need to fret. Starting tomorrow (though it looks to be up and running right now) you’ll be able to hit up strangers for cash and ask for donations through the new cyber begging website being launched by begslist.com...
