 Business › Cheersway E-commerce Scam Alert by Owoyi(op): 9:20am On Dec 22, 2024*. Modified: 10:38am On Dec 22, 2024 |
Cheersway E-commerce In today’s challenging economic climate, the promise of quick and easy income can be very tempting. Platforms like Cheersway E-Commerce claim to offer just that, a straightforward way to earn daily income through simple tasks like watching videos and inviting others to join. But before diving in, it's crucial to take a closer look at such opportunities. What is Cheersway E-Commerce? https://cheersway-e-commerce.cc/ Cheersway E-Commerce advertises itself as a platform where users can earn daily income by completing tasks after purchasing a plan. Here’s a breakdown of their offerings: Oceania Plan: Costs 46 USDT, offers daily earnings of 1.8 USDT. Europe Plan: Costs 146 USDT, offers daily earnings of 5 USDT. Bonuses for inviting others and building teams. Tasks include watching videos, liking them, and clicking a reward box. It sounds like an easy way to make money, right? However, this business model raises several red flags. Why Cheersway is a Scam 1. Upfront Fees Legitimate businesses rarely ask for upfront fees to “activate” plans. In scams, these fees often serve as the primary revenue stream. Once enough people pay, the operators disappear with the money. 2. Unrealistic Returns Cheersway promises daily income for minimal effort. In the real world, businesses pay based on the value of work done—not for performing trivial tasks like watching videos. If a platform pays you more than it generates in revenue, the model is unsustainable. 3. Pyramid Scheme Characteristics The emphasis on recruitment bonuses and team-building incentives is a hallmark of pyramid schemes. Such schemes rely on new members’ money to pay older members. When recruitment slows down, the system collapses, leaving many participants at a loss. 4. Lack of Transparency Cheersway claims to partner with luxurious brands and models but provides no verifiable evidence. Legitimate companies proudly showcase their partnerships and provide clear documentation. 5. Dubious Registration Claims Even if Cheersway is registered in the UK, registration alone does not guarantee legitimacy. Many scams use registration as a façade to appear credible. 6. Negative Online Reviews Platforms like Scamadviser have flagged Cheersway's website with a low trust score, suggesting potential scam activity. Personal Accounts Don’t Guarantee Safety You may know someone who claims to have made money with Cheersway. While their testimony might seem convincing, early participants in schemes like this often benefit because they’re paid using money from new joiners. This creates the illusion of legitimacy, encouraging more people to join. However, such systems are unsustainable and often collapse, leaving the majority of participants with losses. How to Spot a Scam Here are some key warning signs to watch out for: High-pressure tactics: Pushing you to join quickly or invest more. Emphasis on recruitment: Rewards for bringing others in rather than genuine value creation. Vague or unverifiable claims: No solid proof of partnerships or financial backing. Unsustainable promises: Earnings that seem too good to be true. Safer Alternatives If you’re looking to make money online, consider these legitimate options: Freelancing Platforms: Websites like Upwork and Fiverr allow you to offer your skills in exchange for payment. Online Surveys: Platforms like Swagbucks or Survey Junkie pay small amounts for completing surveys. Content Creation: Start a YouTube channel or blog, where consistent effort can eventually generate income. These alternatives might not promise overnight riches, but they’re legitimate and sustainable. Final Thoughts Cheersway E-Commerce raises too many red flags to ignore. While the idea of earning quick money sounds appealing, the risks far outweigh the potential benefits. Before investing your hard-earned money in platforms like this, take the time to research thoroughly and weigh your options. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Protect yourself by staying informed and avoiding schemes that promise the impossible. Share your thoughts in the comments. Have you encountered platforms like Cheersway? Let’s discuss! 2 Likes

| Crime › Nigerian Man Sentenced To 5 Years In Prison For Wire Wire Scam by Owoyi(op): 5:00pm On Sep 14, 2018 |
According to the US Department of Justice (DoJ), ONYEKACHI EMMANUEL OPARA was sentenced Tuesday, September 11, 2018 in Manhattan, NewYork federal court to 60 months in prison based upon OPARA’s participation in fraudulent business email compromise scams that targeted thousands of victims in the United States and around the world.Through these scams, OPARA and his co-conspirators attempted to defraud victims of over $25 million. On April 11, 2018, OPARA pled guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud (wire wire) before U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty, who imposed the sentence.

Between 2014 and 2016, OPARA and his co-defendant, David Chukwuneke Adindu (“Adindu”), participated in multiple business email compromise (“BEC”) scams that targeted thousands of victims around the world, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, and Singapore. OPARA sent bogus emails to employees of the victim companies directing that funds be transferred to specified bank accounts. The emails purported to be from supervisors at those companies or from third party vendors with whom the companies did business. In reality, the emails were either sent from email accounts with domain names very similar to those of the companies and vendors, or the metadata for the emails was modified to make it appear as if the emails had been sent from legitimate email addresses. After victims transferred the funds as directed in the bogus emails, the funds were quickly withdrawn or transferred to other bank accounts controlled by scheme participants. In total, the BEC scam participants attempted to steal more than $25 million from victims around the world. In furtherance of the BEC scams, OPARA created accounts on dating websites and entered into online romantic relationships with individuals in the United States by portraying himself as a young attractive woman named “Barbara.” “Barbara” would then instruct these individuals in the United States to send their money overseas and/or to receive money from BEC scams and forward the proceeds to other scheme participants located overseas acting as a money mule. For example, one victim with whom OPARA struck up a romantic relationship sent over $600,000 of the victim’s own money to bank accounts controlled by scheme participants at OPARA’s direction. OPARA also attempted to recruit at least 14 other individuals via dating websites to receive funds from BEC scams into their bank accounts and then transfer the proceeds to overseas bank accounts. OPARA was arrested on December 22, 2016, in Johannesburg, South Africa, and was extradited to the Southern District of New York on January 26, 2018. In addition to the 2 years prison term, OPARA, 30 of Lagos, Nigeria, was sentenced to two years of supervised release and was ordered to pay $2.5 million in restitution. Co-conspirator Adindu pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit identity theft in 2017. Adindu was sentenced to 41 months in prison and was ordered to pay back $1.4 million. Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, praised the investigative work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Mr. Berman also thanked Oath’s E-Crime Investigations Team, the National Prosecuting Authority for South Africa, the South African Police Service, and the United States Marshals Service. Mr. Berman noted that the investigation is still ongoing to arrest more culprits.

| Phones › Beware: Sextortion The Latest Scam In Town. by Owoyi(op): 12:07pm On Sep 14, 2018*. Modified: 12:43pm On Sep 14, 2018 |
Scammers are really upping their games this days, there is a clever new twist to old email scam which is called Sextortion. Sextortion simply means sex extortion. Online scammers sent out spam emails telling recipients they have their compromising images and videos where they have been caught watching porn through their webcam and then threatens the recipient that they will release the video to all of their contacts unless they pay a Bitcoin ransom. Now you may be thinking this is not unusual, the scaring part of the email is that it contains real password used by the victim. www.nairaland.com/attachments/7773844_nerohacksextortion_jpegaf9732e3141b2420068b1ff401d490cf You may also like list of of Top Nigeria websites every internet newbie should know The email reads: I’m aware that ******* is your password. You do not know me and you are probably thinking why you are getting this e mail, correct?What makes the email so confusing is that it contained recipient real password or a password they had previously used. You might be wondering how do they get this password, well this is very simple. Scammers have access to a list of compromised passwords from one of the many data breaches that have occurred within the last decade although websites aren’t supposed to store passwords in plain text but sadly, some still do and ten years ago it was even more common. Even when sites store your passwords securely, hackers can still unhash the password and then put it up for sale on the dark web. The most annoying thing is that anyone can buy this vital information on Darkweb for as low as $1. So far, more than more 1000 people have coughed up $7500,000 in Bitcoin for fear of their act being exposed.There are three main reasons this scam is successful First, People often watch porn on their computer and so could easily be convinced a hacker knew what they were doing. Second, it’s certainly feasible to gain access to someone’s webcam to watch them, and it’s happened before. Finally, as the hackers have obtained old victim passwords that were once (or still are) in use, it’s easier to manipulate recipients into believing their computer has been taken over. According to the FBI, here are some things you can do to avoid becoming a victim: -Never send compromising images of yourself to anyone, no matter who they are — or who they say they are. -Don’t open attachments from people you don’t know, and in general be wary of opening attachments even from those you do know. -Turn off or cover any web cameras when you are not using them.
