copies of the same message, mostly to advertise, campaign something, and distribute jokes or words of wisdom to
a lot of people at the same time. Spam costs very little to send, hence "spammers" use this method to advertise

SOCIAL MEDIA | QUARTERLY REPORT
You may not be able to totally avoid receiving spam
messages, but you can take the necessary precautions so
as not to be a victim of spam abuse. Here are some
pointers.
1. Be selective when responding to messages.
2. Be careful of signing up or posting to various websites.
3. Create e-mail filters.
4. Make sure not to aid in perpetuating forwarded
messages.

8. Frauds and Scams
There are many variations of frauds and scams on the Internet created by fake sellers who use computer
services to promote bogus services, products, and investment opportunities, among others. The
common goal is to fool you into giving away money and/or bank information. But you have to find a
balance between caution and adopting a go-for-it attitude. The overly cautious trait of people can
actually prevent them from finding new legitimate opportunities. Not everything suspicious you
encounter on the Internet is a scam. Some are actually worthwhile checking out.
1. If something is too good to be true, then most likely it is.
2. Be wary of products that are offered too cheap.
3. Be cautious of buyers or sellers who have insufficient contact information provided on their sites.
4. Research will go a long way.
