How to avoid scams and hoaxes

It’s amazing how some people still get cheated by scams and hoaxes, even though the Internet have been around for more than a decade. News like this are simply unbelievable, and for her to lose $400k over such a long period of time with ample time for research and warning from others, can be classified as downright stupid by most people.

It’s so easy to find out if something is a scam or a hoax. Simply use Google and append “hoax” or “scam” in your search query, and voila! massive research material for you to decide if an opportunity is a hoax or not. It’s ridiculously easy that I wonder why people don’t do that and still continue to forward emails that had been documented as hoaxes all these while, emails such as the ATM secret pins etc.
