Is it that when one thinks about visiting websites one should also think about web scams?
Everyday more and more companies have come to terms with the fact that social marketing is something that is an essential part of the business word, but the question here is how do companies protect their target audiences that visit they online websites from scams? From the looks of things it seems as they are just not doing anything.
I mean it is so annoying when trying to buy a book at Kalahari for instance and then there is some little pop-up box that says you have won something whereas you have not won anything it is all in the name of stealing your identity information.There are tips on how to spot scams in social media and there are also on how to spot websites scams as well but is that enough.
Not everyone is exposed to the tips on how to spot scams so many of us just fall for the “congratulation you are our lucky 100.000 visitor and you won, click here to claim your price”. The number of scams on the net grows every day and people’s personal information are being stolen, so one can ask a question here and say is just creating tips on how to spot scams and not doing anything about them sufficient? Or is it that companies are too busy promoting their brands online to actually take the scams happening on their websites serious?
