It has been become rampant these days that a lot of people are being scammed on the internet due to the fact that many business transactions are being done on it. With this, scammers are using it as an advantage to rip people off their hard earned money which is not fair of them to do if you ask me. What one needs to know is that it is usually the eager ones that falls into this trap the most because they get too excited about things when they are offered the opportunity. What you should know is that one has to be smart in order to avoid getting into a situation like this.
How to avoid getting scammed online are;

1. Do not go for it when it sounds too good to be true
2. Do not do business with strangers online

1. Do not go for it when it sounds too good to be true: A lot of people do this mistake so much, they see a good worth millions with a price tag of thousands and they think that it is their lucky day, then they end up being duped.

2. Do not do business with strangers online: do not let someone you do not know before to convince about making deal with them online, it is not safe.
 
It all begins with your mindset. You need to get rid of any get rich quick mindset in your heart. If you have these thoughts on your mind, you will always be attracted to the scheme that promote get rich quick.

You can easily get scammed as a result as majority of the website usually abscond with the investors money once they have large pool of fund.

Secondly you need to be sceptical of any programs introduced to you which promised to bring you to to return on investment with little amount you put down.

Most of the time a program that promised huge returns are usually scam are you need to avoid them.
 
Never invest in a HYIP and Ponzi scheme. Never join a site just because you are promised a high pay rate. If you are offered payment or return on investment that is too good to be true, you should avoid using these programs as these are likely to be scams
 
Greed is always one of the reason a lot of us are getting scam on the internet because we are going for something that is too good to be true. that is just the reason, for example a person may ask that you invest a certain amount of money to return you hundred percent within 12 hours, we have to understand here that there is no investment in this world whatsoever that can give us 100 per-cent of our investment within 12 hours.. any investment that are legit will always seek to give hundred percent within one year.. Those are things we have to know.. and most important thing do not trust a stranger.
