Blog Assignment #13- Online scams and schemes

I personally dont have a lot of experience with online schemes and scams but I have seen how people get involved in them. I would say I watch out for scams and schemes that I come across on the internet or in emails but its not very hard and dosent take much effort. Being safe on the internet is usually pretty simple just stick to sites you trust or that arent showing any signs of being fraudulent or misguiding. And dont be fooled by the stupid offers and propositions put on by hackers and schemers offering you silly apps or big rewards its all to get something as simple as your email or phone number any bit of info they can. And be careful of websites that you are purchasing stuff from and paying by entering credit card info you really have no idea who is getting ahold of that info and what their intentions are for it. Another why people try to get your info is getting you to download hidden spyware they can use to see what your entering into your computer such as credit card numbers and passwords. so be weary of computer schemes and just treat all websites and emails or pop ups like their out to trick you until you learn otherwise and youll be fine.
