If you ever get an email or see an ad somewhere requesting your services and the email or ad comes from someone in the U.K., you need to be very leary about it, since so much fraud comes from the U.K. The U.K. does not have as much security or regulations as the US does and therefore no financial transactions are regulated. So be cautious when dealing with anyone from the U.K. [br][br]There are ways to avoid getting ripped off or becoming a victim of the advance fee scheme. If the offer appears to good to be true it usually is. Thieves and schemers have a way of knowing that American people are greedy for money and they will use the art of persuasion and money to lure the person in. As a consumer, you can learn to protect yourself by learning how these schemers work so you won't fall prey to them. [br][br]You must know who you are dealing with at all times. If you never heard of the person or company before, get credentials and references. Any legitimate company will be more than happy to provide you with references on request. So if someone requests you to do business with them, and they agree to a large sum of money, you may just want to check them out first, so you won't get taken. If the company bails out and never contacts you again, you will know it was a fraud. [br][br]Anytime you enter into an agreement with the company, always seek out an attorney to go over any contracts or agreements you have to make sure everything is legit. [br][br]When dealing with a company, if you call them and always get an automated reply that the person is not in, or someone does answer and state the party you are trying to reach is not in, be suspicious. They may be hiding from you. [br][br]Always protect yourself when dealing with any company, whether from overseas or in the United States. You'll never know where the fraud will come from.
