6 ways you pig in a poke. Beware!

swindle? beware!

In computer science, As in many other aspects of life, as you're not careful, you timan, steal and make a mockery of, if not happen all at once.

forms reach one of these unpleasant situations are varied, but we have prepared a compilation of the most common.

hope this list will help, especially those that are beginning to circumvent some of these evils.

1. Download software magic

moderately famous
Any program has its alternative version pirated, which amounts to the same program but saturated with advertising, viruses, malware, etc. Of course, such popular programs as eMule or Ares are the hostages.
Many people take a surprise when you install eMule are asked to enter a serial number, a phone call or send an SMS, when they were told it was free. This is because they have been downloaded from a site that is not yours and not reliable, usually because it appears in Google sponsored links.
If you do not know if you are visiting the official website of a program or just a simple copy-and is sometimes very difficult to distinguish, the easiest way to avoid such scams is to visit a trusted site as ... Softonic :)
A variant of the previous case occurs when all the web pages appear the same version of the least one, announcing a new version with new interesting, almost unbelievable . A new version of Messenger with electric windows, satellite connection with the Hubble telescope also makes your laundry? Rather it is a scam ...
Another common way of becoming infected with viruses is unlikely to find software for functions or dark (for multiplayer games cheats, key generators, etc) In this case it is best to have an updated antivirus.

2. Believe everything that comes to you via email

"What I do not see it, half do not think," said someone clearly incredulous. But in terms of email, perhaps you should believe less than half yet.
Chances are that if a girl of African refugees in exile to which no one knows you need someone to withdraw funds from a safe in Switzerland do not contact you by e-mail. Similarly, if you arrive one day in which "names are no more free" in Messenger and do not really know why, you have to close the service, do not enter the event director of MSN capitalized and lack of spelling.
Nobody knows for sure where they originate from these stupid chains or why. The first case, the girl of African refugees in exile, is usually an attempt to collect personal information, ID, name ...- with some evil purpose as creating false passports and so on. The second is just stupid chain whose causes can be either a laugh seeing how the message has spent years circling the Internet or collect a lot of email.
In these cases it is best not forward mail and in the event that you should do so by force majeure, use the Bcc field / BCC / Copy hidden recipients. In terms of content, do not think any news you can not read elsewhere reliable Internet.

3. Giving your passwords

Your passwords can fly for several reasons. The first, being infected with a Trojan that send to the creator. The second, leave the light worldwide stuck in a post-it on the monitor. The third and last, to introduce them where you should not .
The latter is the most dangerous, and is known as phishing or fraud, more classical. This web page identical or very similar other aimed at registering the keys to people that ask for them to believe that is the original. The most common fraud attempts happen with online banking pages.
Sometimes you can tell at a glance that the page you are visiting is not only www.lapaginade www.lapaginadelbanco.com l banco.com, other times it camouflages better with IP addresses. Fortunately, both mail clients such as Internet browsers and search engines are shielding against these threats so that each day are more difficult to cheat people.
Specifically, in the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera is clearly differentiated when a website is insurance with a green badge in the address bar, in addition to typical old lock.
Another way to give your passwords is to respond to email messages in which for some reason you are asked to respond with your password or go to a specific page to change it. Most times it's a scam.

4. "Gratisss?

In Internet when reading the word free is that the eyebrow hoop skeptical expression, since many have little time for free.
For example, a registration is free does not mean they be paid a monthly fee. Similarly, free download does it mean that the program you download is free.
In short, we must always read the fine print.

5. Hard a few tickets
Nobody gives a few notes, we already know. Now, with the euro, even less. If you're thinking about buying something and find an incredible bargain on some page as eBay , it is safer than you think. It could be a poor quality imitation of a broken product and arranged (or just plain broken), or a case such as the man who bought "3 PlayStation 1 "to believe that buying" 1 PlayStation 3 ".
attention should be paid, especially when buying on individuals in the item description, shipping, etc, to avoid surprises after the fact. With the companies also have to walk caution if not well known or suspect looks like. You can search the Internet to gather more information.
also offers often have a dark side. For example, you announced a great price, but then you have to add the extra X, Y tax, shipping costs, the rate of Z, insurance ...

6. How beautiful / to you!

This deception is much more common. The good thing about it is that does not damage your bank account or your PC, the only thing damaged is your self-esteem. The typical case: you take two weeks chatting with someone, you have more than two hundred pictures of him. Is an supermodel or at least should be. Then one day see the same picture somewhere else ... You have
the cheese, but do not be sad because that same situation is repeated day after day in many places. It's nothing serious and can lead to situations as fun, but it is clearly a hoax.

If another type of scam to me I miss, please let me mention in the comments.
