You may wonder how to get Bitcoin. While there are a number of ways to purchase bitcoin, purchasing is probably the easiest way to get started. The first step in buying Bitcoin is to open an account on a Bitcoin exchange. There are dozens of exchanges all over the world, so make sure you choose one that best suits your needs. Some of these exchanges also give you the option to lend bitcoin. These exchanges often offer rewards to people who lend them their bitcoins.

Cybercrime has been a profitable business for swindlers since the initial days of the internet. Despite the progressions in security, such as biometrics, and promise payment trends, like the blockchain, hackers, and criminals will always be a step ahead of us. That is why it is essential to become well-informed on the common ways that scammers use to steal hard-earned money so that one can thwart any threats before they become a trouble.

Richard James Schueler talks about ways scammers steal money:

• Phishing scams

This is one of the oldest, and most common, scams. Phishing scams are when cybercriminals set up malicious software onto your device, after you click on a link that you get in an email or social media message, to trick you into sharing login credentials to your social network, or bank account, work account, or cloud storage provider. They might even be able to steal your health insurance or frequent flyer miles!

• Your Computer is Infected

You are online doing your thing and then a popup occurs from a legitimate-sounding antivirus software program warning you that your computer is infected and you need to download the program. As you click on the link, the malicious software starts scanning your computer for login information. In other cases, the “software” finds a virus and promises to eliminate it for a fee. Of course, this never occurs. But, the cybercriminal has your credit card information.

• A friend has sent an E-Card.

This is another email scam that has been around for years. Essentially, you get an E-Card in your email inbox that appears to be from a family member or friend. You open the card, which results in malicious software being downloaded and installed on your operating system. Finally, this software will start sharing private data and financial information to a deceitful server that is being controlled by cybercriminals.

• They try to be sentimental

There are some tremendously vile people out there who will claim that they are from a charity and plead for your financial help. Even worse, they will take benefit of recent natural disasters or events so that their scam seems legit – while also tugging at your heartstrings –to obtain your cash and banking information.

• Free trial scams

An advert endorsing a product or service welcomes you to try it out for free or for a very low cost. When you sign up, you might be signing a membership or subscription service that locks you into expensive repeat payments.

• Sextortion

Scammers send you an intimidating email claiming your computer and webcam have been hacked and you have been recorded watching pornographic videos. They demand payment for the footage not to be released.

• Social media scams

Fraudsters utilize social media for scams, including quizzes and phishing for personal details. Scammers can also pose as friends asking for display ads, or money for ‘free’ vouchers and products or services claiming celebrity support.

How does the Scam work?

The scammer can already know a lot about you or the individual they are pretending to be. They might know your name, where you stay, and other information they have found on social media sites or by hacking a family member’s email. And at times they simply guess. But they always say you have to pay immediately by wiring money, paying with gift cards, or sending a money order, reloadable cards, or cryptocurrency. Some other tactics scammers use in fake emergency scams are:

• The scammers usually include an “authority figure,” like a police officer, fake lawyer, or doctor. They think it makes them sound more persuasive, and it frights them.
• The scammers say it is urgent and that you are the only one who can help.
• They tell you it is essential to keep it secret. They tell you that they do not want you talking

Serious scams can occur in several ways for a business. Whether it is a scam within your business from the upper levels, fraud from an employee, or external fraud, the effects on a company can be overwhelming. Before people dive into how scams can have a vast impact on a business, it is important you understand the number of ways business fraud can take place. Here’s a shortlist to give you a deeper insight:

• Insurance fraud: A company might file false or exaggerated claims for an insurable event, e.g. a fire in the business building
• External fraud: Companies can be the victim of external sources of fraud through spam emails, cybercriminals, and the like
• Billing fraud: Similar to above, but is based on the false reporting of expenses in the hope of financial gain
• Tax fraud: Deceptive reporting of income to reduce tax liabilities
• Accounting fraud: False reporting of income, profits, and expenses to deceive investors
• Identity fraud: Assuming a business's identity to utilize their financial resources illegally

Richard James Schueler says that fraud scams occur both at an external level and an internal level. Whether it is an external source manipulating the business or someone within the business manipulating the books, there are a number of potential outlets.

Either way, the effects on a business can be overwhelming. Here’s how:

• Fraud can be a traumatic experience for clients and can have irreparable impacts on the client’s mental health and their life. Due to this, even after the entire situation blows over, it is likely that those involved with your business will be far less confident in dealing with you.
• Businesses may feel concerned about being associated with you, and the effect this may have on their brand image. What’s more, individuals may be concerned about the impact continued dealings with you will have on their family, careers, and mental health. Hence, it is likely that they will find a new business to deal with for the services you offered them.
• The lack of repeat and new customers after a fraud allegation will have a vast financial impact on your business. But, that is not the only way this can have an impact. In fact, international estimates show that public bodies can lose between 0.5 and 5% of their budget to losses from fraud. For starters, the legal fees incurred to support your business after a fraud allegation can be vast. This, of course, depends on the nature of the fraudulent activity, and whether it was internal or external. It also depends on how many people, including employees, clients, and customers were involved. On top of this, a business will have to put strict measures in place to avoid this happening again, whether that is hiring new talent to deal with accounts and systems properly, or putting new processes and checks in place to avoid this. Certain scams especially external cases can involve monetary fines from the ICO, or even ransoms having to be paid. Ultimately, the financial losses are untold and affect businesses in a variety of different ways.
• Similarly, it is unlikely that new customers will feel safe seeking your services if you have been involved in a fraud allegation. They may be concerned about being linked with you, as well as having concerns over whether their information is safe with you. This is likely to limit the influx of new customers in the future.

Morale in the company can be affected in several ways. For example, employees may feel guilty for not detecting fraudulent activity, affecting their confidence in their abilities. This can have a knock-on impact on employee productivity. If the fraud came from high up in the company, employees will likely feel a lack of trust in their superiors. Ultimately, it is unlikely to be positive for any of the employees at present working there.

Before you plan to put your money into a cryptocurrency, keep in mind that those markets are unstable, and once your money vanishes, it is disappeared. The protections in place for fiat currencies do not exist for cryptocurrencies.

Scams can come in several forms, but they are all designed to get hold of your money. They do this by getting you to disclose your personal details, stealing your information, or even tricking you into handing over the cash willingly. It is important to know how to recognize a scam so you can guard yourself against fraudsters.

Ways to recognize a scam

• Email address - If you get an email, enlarge the pane at the top of the message and see who it has come from, it can say it is from TV Licensing but if you click or hover over the name it may reveal something different. If it is a scam, the email address the message has come from may not match up with the sender’s name, have random numbers, misspellings, or be from one of your contacts that have been hacked.
• Unsolicited or unexpected contact - If you have received any contact, but especially a phone call, out of the blue, it is best to stay away from it. There has been a ban on cold calling about pensions for the last few years now. This means you must not be contacted by any company about your pension unless you have asked them to.
• Text messages – Modern scammers can make their numbers appear like the one you believe, like your banks. The scam text message may even appear in the same conversation as legal texts you have had before. This is known as ‘number spoofing.
• Quick decisions. If you are pushed into making a decision instantly, be suspicious. Scammers do not want you to have time to think about it. Any legal company that calls you would not mind if you hang up and call them back later. Use the phone number you get on letters from the company or on the back of your card.
• If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. This is something you usually find with pension or investment scams, where the fraudster ensures you huge returns but tells you it is low risk.

Richard Schuelersays that scammers are getting increasingly sophisticated in their attempts to get your money or personal details. Be alert and guard yourself against being scammed by following these tips.

• Know who you are dealing with. If you have only ever met an individual online or are unsure of the legality of a business, take some time to do a bit more research. Do a Google image search on photos or search the internet for others who might have had dealings with them. If an email or message comes from a friend and it seems unusual or out of character for them, get in touch with your friend directly to check that it was really them that sent it.
• Do not reply to phone calls about your computer asking for remote access; hang up, even if they mention a renowned company. Scammers will frequently ask you to switch on your computer to fix an issue or set up a free upgrade, which is actually a virus that will offer them your passwords and personal details.
• Do not open pop-up windows, suspicious texts, or click on links or attachments in emails – delete them: If hesitant, confirm the individuality of the contact through an independent source such as a phone book or online search. Do not use the contact details provided in the message sent to you.
• Keep your computers and mobile devices secure. Always use password protection, do not share access with others, and update backup content and security software. Protect your Wi-Fi network with a password and avoid using public computers or Wi-Fi hotspots to access online banking or offer personal information.

Richard James Schueler says that it is important to review your privacy and security settings on social media. If you use social networking sites, be careful who you connect with and learn how to use your privacy and security settings to make sure you stay safe. If you have recognized doubtful behaviour, clicked on spam, or have been scammed online, take steps to secure your account and be sure to report it.
