Man, since the dawn of civilisation, has always had a certain desire for money, a clear need to collect it, to possess more and more of it - often and willingly, by obtaining it through methods that are not exactly correct, or legal. The vast world of the Internet has made these processes even easier.
Vice, the newspaper responsible for today's article, decided to investigate the methods most favoured by online fraudsters, ‘experts’ of the trade who are dedicated to separating a man from his financial account. Thanks to three anonymous scammers, we are now in possession of five simple methods with which they will scam the general public in the years to come.
Fake AI therapists, selling products that never existed, hacking via public wifi networks or QR codes, and, last but not least, fake virtual tours of historical sites - these are just a taste of the insane ideas in the scammers' minds. Remember: every opportunity is good to steal money from tired and distracted people. Don't let yourselves become victims.
