Gone phishing...

Like me, you probably receive loads of 'dodgy' emails purporting to be from a genuine source.

How do you spot a scam, a 'phishing' email?

Phishing emails are designed to appear as real companies or individuals to defraud you by stealing your personal information or enticing you to download attachments that contain viruses or other malware.

How to spot a phishing email:

• Do you have an account with this company or know the individual?
• If so, are you expecting this email?
• Check the email sender address to see if it is legitimate.
• Be wary of attachments, especially if they are oddly named.
• Is the email generic?
• Are the grammar and spelling correct?
• When you hover on any links, it will show the URL. Is this URL linking to a site that you expect and trust?

If you believe that you have received a phishing email, please report the email (in the UK it is as simple as forwarding it to report@phishing.gov.uk), block the sender and delete the email if it has not been removed.

Many trusted companies, especially financial institutions, offer what is called "two factor authentication". 

This is a two-step process that provides an extra layer of security for you when accessing your account. When set up, you will be required to enter an additional password that will be sent to your mobile/cell phone to log into your account.

It is strongly recommended that you enable this two factor authentication, if offered, to ensure that your account can only be accessed by authorized persons, even if your information has been stolen.

Paid for doing online surveys? Yeah right, I wish...

I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that
say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out
some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day.....
YEAH RIGHT, I didn't make anything.

I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling
out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever and then
at the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn't complete
the survey.

These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn't believe they
were even allowed to sell such bogus products.

Then about 2 weeks ago I was watching the news and they had some
vice presidents and marketing managers of some major multi million
dollar companies talking about a site that they personally work
with to pay consumers for their opinion, a site that actually just
wants the "average Joe's" honest opinion on products
and services and is willing to pay big money to get them.

I tried this site out and it is the only one I have ever
seen that actually pays you just to take surveys. I made
almost $100 in my first day just filling out 3 simple surveys.

This is the only legit survey site online, so if you are
interested in making hundreds per day just giving your opinions
then make sure you check this out.

P.S. there is a video on the homepage that will explain everything.
If I were you I would at least check the video out and if you don't
make at least $300 in your first week they have a 3 month refund
policy so just get your money back!!! This is definitely worth a
look!
