computer scams

     now in days, there are many people that are trying to earn a corrupt living via hacking peoples personal information and scamming them out of money, accounts, and even they're identities. these scammers have various methods for doing this and many venues and loop holes for them to take advantage of and abuse. for example, hackers and scammers take advantage of social networking sites and email systems to assault your computer with spyware, malware, and steal your information and invade your technical and financial privacy. Using "rogue apps" and a technique called "click-jacking" hackers can spam and hack your friends, family, and even your accounts on Facebook, and send fake emails to gain access to your computer systems and allowing you to unsuspectingly download viruses and computer bugs. Also, in addition to hacking your computer, they also can send you fake messages from a friends account asking for wire transferred money, downloads, or simply your personal information so they can steal your identity to use to rack up credit card debt and loans or sell the info to someone else to do so.  But there are many simple steps you can take for being safe and computer savvy enough to avoid any future complications with identity theft and computer hackers, like never opening suspicious emails and not responding to any messages that seem out of the ordinary and very suspicious. Also, you should exit out of any suspicious links you get let to, and NEVER ever give out your personal information on websites.
