Romance scam : Performed by individuals who spend their time on dating sites charming their victims. Then they ask for assistance in the form of money.

Scam on classified ads : Crooks offer for sale fake goods or pretend to be interested in buying your property. Then they send you a check that will prove to be stolen.

Money refund scams : Some bad people make you believe to be able to help you recover the money lost during a scam.

Ransomware : Hackers block your computer pretending to be the police and require you to pay a fine. This is nothing but scams.

E-commerce scam : On the Internet, there are millions of e-commerce websites. Unfortunately, not everyone is honest and some were created just to rip you off.

  1. J’ai discuté avec lui pendant plusieurs jours. Il se fait appeler phillipe bonnet. Je l’ai rencontré sur le site disonsdemain.
    Il m’a très vite demandé mon mail et mon skype. Depuis je fuis tous les profils qui demandent systématiquement ces informations.
    Il est virulent et se montre tres mauvais quand on le contrarie. Il est au Maroc pour régler des frais de douane d’un chargement d’or. Et bien sûr il demande de l’aide.
    J’ai fait la connerie de lui envoyer une photo et une vidéo et il menace de tout dévoiler sur le net et sur FB.
    Il m’a également demandée en ami sur FB avec le même nom mais avec une photo “de lui” où il pourrait avoir entre 13 et 15 ans.
