Online Job Seekers–Beware of SPAM!
Post on Aug 31st 2008
What is a Spam?? Its a four lettered word which plays a havoc trick in cheating your time and money by luring you with unwanted and repeated messages which are apparently attractive. There are different types of Internet Spam; however, e- mail spam is the most common among them. Today many people are roaming in the net in search of online earning, but all are not well versed with the types of opportunities available in the internet. People, who believe in their offers, fall prey and become cheated by spammers, who offer huge and easy earning opportunities. The spammers collect the E-mail addresses and send bulk messages to millions of addressees at a time. Though the messages are not desired but still it is very difficult to avoid them because the spam filters fed into various sites quite frequently fail to recognize it as the spammers adopt various tricks to bypass the filters. Spammers usually conceal the source of message and use a spurious name as the sender. Sometimes they make slight changes in their spelling so that they remain scot-free. Even then, a little alertness may help in identifying the spam.
The ascending trend of people to online earning have inspired the spammers to incline more towards sending thousands of spurious mails loaded with bogus opportunities. Sometimes the advertiser does not want to reveal much information about the opportunity and even asks money for revealing basic information relating to the job. One should be scared in this type of messages and remember that the prospective applicant has every right to get his all doubts cleared before making any investment in any offer of opportunity. The question must be raised as to why one should invest upfront? Many a times, it is seen that money is being asked in the name of processing or application fees. This is another way of cheating.
Prior to investing in such type of companies, one must collect enough information about the advertiser as well as the opportunity from the persons engaged in same profession or from various forums and message boards.
There are thousands of offers in the internet, promising to make you millionaire within a day or sometimes even within next 15 minutes. Some are offering thousand of bucks for
a. works as simple as receiving e mails on their behalf
b. contacting their clients
c. taking part in contests
d. filling up forms
e. participating in survey work etc.
These offers are fabricated in such a fashion that its too good to be believed. Instead of being carried away by the offers, one should ask himself as how far it is believable?? Is it so easy to earn money? And moreover whats the gain of the advertiser in distributing bucks like that? The answer will obviously be helpful in unmasking the spam.
Spammers sometimes resort to such type of activity only for harassing someone. They send the messages by taking the name of the person whom they want to harass. Thus the receiver of the message being angry with the spam takes revenge against the apparent sender who becomes the victim of the spam by being harassed of the consequences.
But whatever maybe the motive behind the spam, there must be stringent law to catch hold of the miscreants and treat them ruthlessly by awarding exemplary punishment.
