The Philippine Government is still struggling on solving cyber-crime cases. Lot's people are swindled and scammed online. While the people who give money are also ones to blame, there must some way to minimize these crimes which go unnoticed.
Here are some of the basic scams used in the internet:
1. Send money and go - buyer sends money, then the seller closes all his/her accounts.
2. Consignment - One person will ask you if you can sell his or her items with some profit percentage. After some 2-3 transactions, some of your buyers will cry saying that they did not receive the items, or of they received it, they will complain that you sent a stolen product, hurting your reputation.
3. Non payment of debt - a long lost friend, family or previous classmate will message you in FB. After some time of chatting together, they will ask for a business investment, or ask for you some money as there is an emergency. After sending the money, they will disappear.
4. Online payment disputes - Some people put payment disuputes in Paypal, Payza, Moneybookers, etc.
Very bad as your account might get locked because of this.
5. When you buy something online, the buyer pays but the seller will deliver a fake item, a replica, or a a different item that is not on the original order. Some courier companies know about this, and sometimes the seller is in cahoots with the courier.
