Work hard get Better
Hello everyone.
I am Webzy, I have been a member on NextGenUpdate for the last 3 years, during this time period I had the
unfortunate experience of being deceived, into many fraudulent deals from the General Auction fourm section.
Through my own lack of, awareness or be it true my trusting nature I lost the most important thing of all, my
NextGenUpdate Premium account.
Which I have only gotten back quite recently with the help of ''Vince'', so to give back to all you guy's and to show
my appreciation here at NextGenUpdate I will teach you the ''Tell Tale Signs' of a Scam Artist.

If It's to good to be true it normally is !
Identifying features of a Scammer.
1 . Overly Friendly ''
( Will accept or manipulate a situation with '' Kind Gestures '' ultimately achieving his 'Goal' gaining your ''Trust'' )
2 . To Insistent ''
( Scammer's will want to '' attain '' what you have with '' Speed '' as the faster he does the less '' Noticeable '' it is )
3 . The Sob Story ''
( Happens when you ask him to go first '' I have been scammed way to may times '' this happens so you feel sorry for him and he is hoping he appeals to your good nature ultimately Tricking you )
4 . Back's out ''
( Everything will be fine until, '' I want to use a Middleman i.e Mod '' he does not reply as said Scam won't work then )
5 . Promises To Much ''
( Lastly but most importantly '' Scam artist, offer's greater than yours '' he is feeding your greed for his own gain )
If you are a kind trusting person, like most are this will help you '' spot that Wolf under the sheep skin '' and escape
a loss of personal information, an account, or hard earned money.
Importantly If you have experienced any of the ''Above'' with a member here Immediately report him to a Moderator,
Administrator as that will then stop accused from fear of being caught out as what he is.
Thank you everyone have a nice safe day.
