*Summary:
Everyday we are bombarded with lots of many new things and much of them com from advertisement or news. The most serious thing is that we don’t believe everything we read, especially on the Internet. Maybe it’s a scam. The common scam circulated as an email with involving a person who wants to give away money. For example, when the criminal has your bank information, they typed a letter to bank manager with your signature at the bottom. The letter is processed fast because it has your real signature and other information. By the time you find it, your money has gone. Then bank account and the email address were cancelled. Each of scam is difficult for government and the Internet services to take a regulation. Most problems are from World Wide Web. So, you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the WWW. The WWW is like a combination of the library, TV and radio and it is great for choosing many points of aspects on different subjects or topics. I think that it’s an indispensable factor for beneficial merits.

*Scam
1. The black money scam, sometimes also known as the 'wash wash scam', is a scam where con artists attempt to fraudulently obtain money from a victim by persuading him or her that piles of banknote-sized paper in a trunk or a safe is really money which has been dyed black (e.g. to avoid detection by customs). The victim is persuaded to pay for chemicals to wash the "money" with a promise that he will share in the proceeds.
2. A cardboard children scam is a scam in which young children, usually in groups of 6 to 10, carrying cardboard signs approach a tourist and make a loud scene by begging or screaming. The message on these cardboard signs are usually pleas, such as "Food please," and are intended to distract the tourist as the children remove any items from their wallet or pockets.
3. Employment scams, also know as job scams, are a form of advance fee fraud scamming where certain unscrupulous persons posing as recruiters and/or employers offer attractive employment opportunities which require the job seeker to pay them money in advance, usually under the guise of work visas, travel expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses.
4. Reloading scam, Reloading is a form of fraud, whereby a victim of one scam is repeatedly approached with more aggressive con artists, often until "sucked dry". This form of fraud is especially hurtful for senior people, because they are more susceptible to pressure after the first losses, partly because of hopes to recover, partly being psychologically unable to say "no" to a con man in time.
