The problem of new internet users falling prey to scamsters is acute in India since internet user addition is by millions, every year. The new users get trapped by scamsters easily.

Its important that internet users get alerted and educated about criminal gangs which come up with schemes defraud them.
Based on user complaints, the major scams that manage to hook new internet users in India are as follows:
- Phishing Scams with Mail appearing to come from Genuine Website
- Fake Employment Offers
- Fake Investment Companies offering High Returns
- Click Ads Scam
- Paid Survey Scam
- Fake Online Home Jobs
- Fake Lottery Jackpot Offer
- Foreign Money Transfer Scam
Phishing Scams with Mail appearing to come from Genuine Website
Email could appear to come from say ICICI Bank asking to verify account. On click user is taken to a webpage looking exactly similar to ICICI website. User is asked to change password, submit mobile number etc . His user Id, password, mobile number etc gets stolen. The criminals then logs into bank account and transfers money. The mail could come from banks, or even Govt departments for example recently Income Tax Dept offering refund
The spammers also send email with "from" as Admin of Email service provider, asking to change password and even change security questions and many new users fall for this.
Fake Employment Offers
Mails offering employment in companies in India or abroad would request resume and other documents for verification. After this, user gets mail to remit fee for further action. Once fee is paid there will be no further communication.
Fake Investment Companies offering High Returns
These companies advertise in classified sections of news papers and in websites offering sky high returns. Users should understand that no legal business can give such returns. The fake companies operates for few months, paying users part money received from new ones. One fine day they simply disappear leaving customers in the lurch . Eg: City Limouzine.
Click Ads Scam
Clicking Ads on website to get paid is a criminal activity and many new users sign up without even knowing that they have become part of a criminal network. The scamsters offer large payments. But users will get tired after few days earning meager amounts. The minimum payout will be kept large. Most users will drop out after few days without getting payout. And that is what these companies want. They are always on the look out for new members.
Paid Survey Scam
Just imagine sitting and typing out forms and seeing few rupees added in your account for a days work. Virtually useless job which people will get fed up and get out in no time. Meanwhile, the scam companies would have surveys filled up and they may get paid by marketing companies. But the people who toil never get paid. The minimum payout will be such that users will get fed up and will stop working after few days.
Fake Online Home Jobs
There are thousands of home job companies which take initial advance from Rs.500 to Rs.5000 for joining. They will then send some crap CD or ask to down load some files and information. Within one or two days users will understand that the work offered is menial mess and is of no use to anyone. In fact the companies are just looking for the advance. After few days no one will respond to mails or calls and the home job dream will come to quick end!
Fake Jackpot Lottery Offer
Its surprising but true that people keep falling for Jackpot winning offers received by mails or SMS. They end up paying advance processing fees and after which the scamsters will be untraceable.
Foreign Money Transfer Scam
Just like in the case of Jackpot offers, many people fall prey to scam mails offering to pay large fee for help in transferring money. The trapped ones end up paying advances couple of times and then the communication channels will go dry.
