Paying for porn scams and other internet scams
-
I sometimes try to pay for porn, and have gotten burned. Even "trusted" sites such as Chaturbate, Flirt4Free, and Onlyfans have burned me. You give them your credit card info, and then you wind up with fake charges being made.
Even worse, there are companies that are not so "trusted" which are virtually ALWAYS scams. Here is a tip - if the billing company has anything to do with the state of ARIZONA, especially Phoenix or Tempe, BEWARE. You will get nothing, and you will be charged for it.
Here are some other major internet scams:
People or sites offering to sell products at incredibly LOW prices are often scams. If not dealing through something like e-bay or Amazon, you must be very careful. I NEARLY got scammed in a major way on e-bay - but the problem was fixed by e-bay once they became aware of the scam. A very famous scam is people selling exotic, expensive animals via the internet Typically parrots, dogs, horses, etc. That scam involves a very low price for the pet, BUT then they require you to pay for the "shipping" which is considerable. They want to be paid through a money wire service at the last minute. They pretend that they are being so nice, but then ship the animal, and tell you it is waiting at the airport for you to pick up, but before they can release it, you must wire them a lot of money immediately (so you don't have time to check them out). The animal never existed, it has not shipped, they are just after your money! -

I'm so glad you uncovered that scam before you put big money down on that unicorn.

Especially since the critter will be immediately seized by the Department for Management and Control of Animals (DMCA).
