Computers / 6 Top Internet Scams You Should Avoid In 2018 by 247TechBlog(m): 1:29pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
According to Wikipedia, Internet fraud is a type of fraud which makes use of the Internet. This type of fraud varies greatly and appears in many forms. It ranges from Email spam to online scams. Internet fraud can occur even if partly based on the use of internet services and is mostly or completely based on the use of the internet. Without much ado, here are the 6 top internet scams you should avoid in 2018 Online Lottery and Sweepstakes These types of scams are mostly perpetrated via email marketing and on Facebook. These victims typically receive notifications that they have won a large amount of money or prize in a lottery or sweepstake; unsuspecting victims are then told to contact agents via email with their personal information. In order to claim the supposed prize or money, victims are usually asked to pay all manner of processing, insurance costs, courier charges/ FedEx and ‘claimant fees’. While the process is ongoing, victims are often told to keep their winnings secret to prevent ‘double claiming’. In order to seem legitimate, email lottery scammers often use the names of legitimate lottery organizations or other legitimate corporations/companies while these organizations are unaware their names are being used for these nefarious acts. The Facebook variant of this scam occurs when Facebook accounts of legitimate Facebook accounts are cloned. The victim is usually contacted by a ‘friend’ who goes on to tell stories about receiving some money via a lottery on Facebook. The scheme typically follows the above and victims are made to contact agents who go on to charge never ending processing fees. If you receive these types of emails, the best bet is to delete the emails and ignore attempts to establish contact. If on Facebook, immediately contact original owner of account via pre-gotten contact numbers, also report the cloned page so Facebook can have it shut down Classified Ads Scam (OLX, Jiji , eBay etc) This type of scam has to do with Classifieds websites; websites where items are listed for Sale or Swap. These ads can be put up by anyone making them dangerous. In this type of scam, the Scammer puts up an item for sale at a low price compared to what is typically available on the market in order to lure a large number of people to the post. Scammer is usually out of town and promises to ship the item once the price and shipping fee is paid. Different excuses keep up until buyer realizes that he has been strung along the entire time. Victims are often left with no cash or item once these fees have been paid. Another variant of this scam occurs when the buyer offers to pay for item using PayPal or other online means of transferring money. Fake confirmations of Payment are sent to victims who are then convinced to ship item with promises that payments will re Always remember that if it is too good to be true, it often is. Transactions and inspections of items should also always be face to face in a safe, secure public area Bank/ ATM Update Email Phishing Scam This scam is usually perpetrated via phishing emails or text messages. Victims are sent messages from cloned emails and mobile numbers to update their accounts, Bank verification numbers, Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) or personal details to avoid suspension or deactivation of account within a time frame. Victims often react fast given the time frame of action sent along with the email or text message. Keying in your details often leads to the victims sending their account information. When these emails and text messages are received, do not call back or respond using a number in said message, always call your bank’s official customer care number directly or visit the bank physically to update your banking information Always avoid leaving your mobile numbers or contact details on public forums, websites and groups. Email and mobile phone harvesters can easily have a grasp of these emails and continually send scam messages to you, valid details are also sold in online criminal marketplaces. Employment Scams As much are there are many legitimate online job opportunities, many online job scams exist also to take advantage of job seekers in a variety of ways. Scammers may want to collect confidential information to further use for identity theft, to get you to cash fraudulent checks or to wire or send money, and to get you to pay for services or supplies. Often times, they may also trick job seekers into meeting at lonely locations and they can then be kidnapped for ransoms or sold into human trafficking camps. Job scams can be posted on job sites like Jobberman and forums; some also trickle down from well-known social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. In other cases, you may receive unsolicited email and text messages from companies you did not apply to. It is important to exercise due diligence by checking out addresses , websites and names of companies who invite you to interviews to make sure everything checks out and is legit. Simply typing out name of the company with ‘scam’ at the back will show you experiences of other people who have attended such interviews. You can also go one step further by asking questions on large forums like Nairaland on Social media about the company Typical signs of fake job scams include; The salary details aren’t clear or properly outlined You are told you have to pay for registration, processing fees or training You’re offered a job without an application, formal interview, or discussion with the employer about terms and conditions associated with said job You are promised high pay for little work done Shady looking addresses in areas which are not typically used by other companies of comparative size. Football Betting/ Fixed Match Betting With the prevalence of Online football betting and the attendant proliferation of fake fixed match peddlers who want to make you part with your money, this had to make the list. Fixed matches are matches whose outcomes have been manipulated by bookies or gamblers in order to make profit on insider information/outcomes which they would have known before kick off The majority of fixed football matches scams work by way of the scammer offering you the Half Time/ Full Time result for a fee on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. These offers are fake of course and you will quickly get blocked after payment of their compulsory ‘Registration Fee’ A search using the keyword ‘#FixedMatch’ on Instagram quickly brought up more than 27,000 results which shows how common these scams are now Lost Wallet/ Stranded Overseas Traveller Scam These scams happen when email accounts of users are compromised and scam emails are sent to the contacts they communicate with the most. Victims received an email saying friends are stranded outside the country and have lost passports and cell phones, and urgently needed money to settle hotel bills pending when they get back home. The first thing you should do when you get this kind of email is to immediately notify original owner of email about the activities ongoing in his account. If you are the one affected, changes to passwords of the email account must be immediately made and messages should be sent to entire contact list notifying them about the scam and not to wire money to any one

In this tutorial, I will show you a simple method to get free unlimited VPN using Opera browser. VPNs refer to Virtual Private Networks and they are useful for masking our Internet Protocol addresses. Sometimes, websites might be blocked at work or due to geographical restrictions and VPNs come in handy to be able to access these blocked websites. Not many people know that new opera versions have a free VPN tucked somewhere in there but I will show you where they are hidden. Screenshots are provided also to guide you through the process. Step 1 Download the latest version of Opera here. Navigate to the Settings bar at the top left corner Step 2 Under Settings, Navigate to ‘Privacy & Security’ Step 3 Select ‘Enable VPN’ and ‘Bypass VPN for default search Engines’ Enabling the bypass means that your typical google search will still go through your local Google search as against that of the country you have chosen. Step 4 The search bar starts to show VPN active with a blue sign. Click on the sign and select preferred location. Step 5 Select from available list. Optimal location means the VPN will automatically select and connect to the fastest server available Source http://247techblog.com/how-to/5-easy-steps-to-get-free-unlimited-vpn-in-opera-browser/

Science/Technology / 5 New Tech You Should Expect To See At The 2018 World Cup by 247TechBlog(m): 10:52am On Mar 08, 2018 |
It’s 2018 and there is literally no area Technology is not used these days. Whether as a result of bare necessity or to decrease the margins of error, Technology is an ever-present force to reckon with. For instance, line-call technology is currently being used in Tennis and Badminton for judges and umpires to detect if the ball crossed the line or if in or out, advancements in technology have also enabled brands to design jersey and sports wears to the last detail and recently drones have been used to capture moments on the football field Football, most especially the FIFA world cup is not new to Tech innovations. Since the 1970 World Cup was broadcast in color for the first time, live streaming via online channels for football matches is presently available in High Definition, HD and UHD With the 2018 FIFA World Cup just around the corner, we take you through 5 new technologies you will see at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. 4K Coverage and Broadcast In an effort to build on the success of the multimedia production at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, FIFA has confirmed that all sixty-four (64) matches at the 2018 World Cup will be broadcast in 4K Ultra High definition with High Dynamic range (HDR) display. This is a massive improvement from the traditional HD 1080p displays which are commonplace. 37 Cameras which are made up of 8 UHD/HDR and another 8 with Super-slow motion, 2 Ultra- motion cameras, a cable cam and a Cineflex Heli-cam will be employed to show clear, crisp pictures from all angles in every stadium. Video Assistant Referee VAR With calls for video technology to be introduced into football in order to help referees make 100% accurate decisions, VAR was first introduced at the 2016 World cup, tired in the 2017 Confederations Cup and subsequently rolled out in the German Bundesliga and the Italian Serie A. Made up of a team of people who review referee decisions after replay, VAR helps in reviewing penalty calls, card decisions and controversial calls which may be in error. However, it has arrived to mixed reactions as it often courts controversy in addition to time wasting. Video assistant referees are set to be used at this year's World Cup in Russia after football's lawmakers voted to approve the technology. According to The International Football Association Board (Ifab), the VAR will be used solely in decisions involving; Goal/no goal Penalty/no penalty Direct red card (not second yellow card/caution) Mistaken identity (when the referee cautions or sends off the wrong player) Goal Line Technology Uzbek referee Ravshan Irmatov (C) checks the video assistant referee (VAR) during the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final match between CF Pachuca and Wydad Casablanca at Zayed Sports City Stadium in the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi on December 9, 2017. / AFP PHOTO / GIUSEPPE CACACE (Photo credit should read GIUSEPPE CACACE/AFP/Getty Images) Vanishing Spray Previously adopted in the 2014 World cup, the Vanishing spray (also known as the vanishing foam) has seemingly come to stay. The vanishing spray is employed in Direct free kick situations close to the opposition’s penalty area; it directly helps to keep the defensive wall in check. According to Steve Crossman, Vanishing Spray is used mainly at the highest levels of competition, vanishing spray is said to help prevent unnecessary delays by preventing the defensive team from encroaching closer than the mandated 10 yards (9.1 m) from the ball during a free kick, and also by preventing the attacking team from illegally moving the ball from the spot where the referee awarded the kick SALVADOR, BRAZIL - JULY 05: Referee Ravshan Irmatov sprays a temporary line for a free kick as Costa Rica assemble a wall during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Quarter Final match between the Netherlands and Costa Rica at Arena Fonte Nova on July 5, 2014 in Salvador, Brazil. (Photo by Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images) Epts Electronic Performance And Tracking Systems (EPTS) Electronic performance and Tracking Systems (EPTS), which include camera-based and wearable technologies, are used to control and improve player and team performance. EPTS primarily tracks player (and ball) positions but can also be used in combination with microelectromechanical devices (accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.) and heart-rate monitors as well as other devices to measure load or physiological parameters. There are three forms of physical tracking devices available on the market; Optical-based camera systems, Local positioning systems (LPS) and GPS/GNSS systems Goal Line Technology Goal-line technology is a technical means of instantly determining whether the whole of the ball has crossed the goal line. In detail, it is a method used to determine when the ball has completely crossed the goal line between the goal-posts and underneath the crossbar In order to curb interference with the game, The International Football Association Board specifies that only the match officials receive a signal on their watches to indicate whether the whole of the ball has crossed the goal line. Transmissions are typically received under one second and this makes for an immediate response from the referee. The game continues seamlessly and there are no forms of stoppages The technology employed for goal-line technology spans from camera-based detection to magnetic fields and embedded receptors inside the ball
