Why scam is the first word to appear?

Question

I really dont get it! When people post something about working online or any other ways then the normal traditional business, people will talk about scams! u didnt give the person a chance to have his say.. the only word that people will type is scam. pls tell me more why are this people so against this idea. at least give this poeple a chance to tell the masses what are they doing, im sure they are legitimate..

Answer 1

Because legitimate businesses don't operate that way.  Besides, it violates the "Content & Usage" section of the Y!A Community Guidelines.

Answer 2

If you're talking about those emails people get and I have gotten them, about how someone has inherited all this money but they need your bank account to store it???

It is a scam luv people have giving their account info to these people and then money has gone missing from their account and traced back to that Email and to the person who sent it.

These types for scams have been all over Canadian and American news. I hope you didn't send any info to these people, there have been seniors who've lost a lot of money to these criminals..

If you don't believe me the next time you get one of these emails read it closer, why if someone received all this money would they need your bank to store the money, why when there are plenty of banks willing to set up accounts for them????

Sorry to say this but I've just had a look at your homepage and the impression I have of it is that it's a scam.  My apologies if I'm mistaken, but as I say, that's the impression it gives me.

The reasons being that nowhere on the page does it actually say what the product is, what it does, how it works, what it's called or anything.  Everything is vague, it's obviously something people are going to be asked to pay for but there's no mention of costs, there's no phone number, name or address.  There's just a single page of sales speak and you're asking people to e-mail for further details.

Personally, if I wanted further details I'd want to read about the product online, I certainly wouldn't give out my email address to someone I know nothing about.

I have websites that sell things (mainly books, music and artworks) but the webpages explain exactly what it is, how much it costs, how long delivery takes, it has proper contact details, FAQ sections, privacy policy, terms and conditions and hopefully everything that anyone would want to know before giving out their personal details.

People online are rightly suspicious and if they're not given the correct information and their suspicions are not allayed then they will naturally suspect a scam.

Don't know if this actually answers your question but I hope it helps.
