Free Domain Vulnerable To Fraud Means
Exist not only in the real world even in cyberspace has become a trend in Indonesia today.
Not only with a social media account, it is not complete yet if you do not have a personal blog.
As friends know that to have a blog is required to have a domain, where the domain that will be the address of the blog that we have.
Exist With Blog Need Not Expensive Can Even Be Free
If you just want to just exist and want to devote thoughts and feelings, it does not need to be expensive by buying a paid domain and hosting.
For non-commercial needs of friends can use a free domain that can be obtained from various domain providers such as webs.com, godaddy.com and others.
Free Domains and Online Fraud
Blogs do have many benefits. In addition to socializing blogs can also be used for things that are commercial. But this time we will not discuss about commercial blogs. For that there will be a more in-depth discussion.
As I discussed earlier the benefits of blogs one of them is to increase the credibility of a person or an organization. Unfortunately, the benefits of this one blog is often misused by the parties who are not responsible as a means of fraud.
One of the most prevalent fraud modes today is sending random SMS to some mobile phone numbers with the intention that someone who believes and gets eaten by the fake lottery then sends some money to the fraudster.
Well, this fraud mode is more neat and more powerful by using a language that will indeed arouse the curiosity of potential victims to immediately contact the fraudsters.
In addition to using the frills of the name of the existing lottery, such as telkomsel point, the fraudsters use free domain as a means to strengthen its existence for potential victims believe that the SMS is true from reputable companies.
For example, winner domain-telkomselpoint.webs.com. This site or blog is already filled with content that will make you believe your mobile phone number listed as a winner.
Perhaps you have ever received an SMS claiming to be from Telkomsel like this:
"Congratulations !! You get the prize of Toyota Avanza "from points telkomsel pin winner (xy24 ...) visit our site winners-telkomselpoint.webs.com"
As this is one example of SMS fraud that is now rife happening.
In fact, as we know, usually companies that held a lottery will not inform the winner information via SMS. Winning lottery information will certainly be announced through official media such as television, and also print media.
Bonafit companies certainly do not use a free domain but have an official site that is guaranteed authenticity. Even so we still have to be careful because fraudsters are getting smarter too.
If you find a fake site or blog used for fraud, immediately report to the service provider to have the site frozen. The service provider must immediately conduct an investigation of the reported site.
Easy Tips To Not Be Fooled SMS Counterfeit
How to avoid fake SMS sweep is easy, namely:
Do not be too happy when we get a winning sweepstakes message.
Take a good look at the number of the raffle's sender. It is impossible for the phone provider to send the info through a private number. Of course, notices are made through official service numbers such as 333 for example.
If you never follow any sweepstakes immediately ignore the SMS congratulations earlier.
Have lots of reading and search for as much information as possible. In addition to extending knowledge, always updating with information also avoids friends from fraud.
Thank you for reading this article, may be useful for my friends.
