Advance Fee Scams
A prince emails you. Or a lottery win. Or a job offer. But first—you must pay a fee. Just a small one. Then another. And another…
The Routine:
- The bait: A windfall, a prize, a dream job.
- The hook: Pay a fee first.
- The vanish: They disappear. With your money.
Common Scenarios:
Loans that never arrive.
Jobs that require payment.
Rentals for homes that don’t exist.
Security Advice:
- Never pay upfront. Especially for jobs.
- Verify everything. Especially if it’s unexpected.
- Don’t respond. Silence is golden.
