Be careful of scammers that sell bogus business coaching and Internet promotion services. Scammers falsely promise amazing results and exclusive market research for people who pay their fees.
Don’t believe any scammer that tries to convince you they can replace negative reviews of your product or service, or boost your scores on ratings sites. For better or worse, those opinions reflect the honest opinion of the people that wrote them.
Last, but not least, avoid the fake check scam. If a scammer overpays with a check and asks you to wire the extra money to a third party, you may be on the hook for a bad check that leaves you paying the bank’s bill for it.
Never ask an employee for sensitive data via email.
