You're probably asking yourself what to do if you get scammed. Well, I'm here to tell you that there are a few common scams that bloggers should be aware of.
First, there's a scam called "email forwarding." This happens when someone emails you and asks you to forward their message or information to another person but they send it through your email address instead of theirs. They'll ask for something like the name and address of the person they want it forwarded to, so they can send them an email back instead of just sending it directly to them.
Don't fall for this! Just don't do it. You don't have to give out any personal information, and you can always forward emails from unknown users without any risk at all.
The second one is the fake fashion blogger scam. This scam offers you to be a fashion blogger and pay you a ton of money to post on their website or blog. They will tell you that they have a huge audience and that you need to work with them in order to get your own site up and running with an audience of millions. This can seem like a good opportunity, but it's not real. There is no way that someone who wants to launch an online clothing store would let anyone else host their site, so once you've been scammed by this kind of offer, there's no way you'll ever get your own site up and running.
Another scam is when someone says they're looking for writers who want to publish their work on their website, but they don't pay anything upfront at all! In order to get paid, these people ask for donations which means they're asking people who are more likely than not going to donate money instead of getting paid and then give very little in return.
