SWEET HEART BLOGGER REPORTS
This report is for kids and adults to see.
VIRUS
There are 2 types of virus that are known commonly. 1st is the flu virus; 2nd is the computer virus and that's what we will be talking about today.
Computer virus can attack your pc from just a click of a button. (Using this example on your right) Isn't it too good to be true? You won an iPhone for FREE... No of course not once your computer has been attacked if you click on the yes. You probably wouldn't be able to afford one cause all that money is spent fixing your pc because
YOU clicked it. If you do banking on your pc then your hacker has your details and will buy himself/herself an iPhone 4S. Of course not saying you would click it(maybe). In-store an anti spyware, adware, virus etc software to protect yourself today it will warn you that it's fake. The website is at the bottom of this blog entry. By the way it's ok to click on the Yes when you're on my blog because I just copied and paste the picture as an example so don't be alarmed! And if it pops up just click the X button cause it just shows you the picture without the words.
FRAUDS
Also to be worried is scammers trying to take your money or whatever it is.

A near scam victim tells story: I was on a website called gumtree.com and a man contacted me and said he is interested to buy all my items and asked me what's your condition and full price? We discussed the price and items. The offer sounded too good to be true so I've always been suspecting him from the start. He contacted me with different emails and phone numbers. The man was always instructing me and agreed with everything easily. He was using the excuse that he was a busy man and excuse himself of being revealed. He wanted me to deposit money into an account to pay for transporting the items and after he would deposit the total sum to my paypal account. I instantly thought that he really was scamming me. I knew because the paypal generated email confirmation of payment looked fraudulent and there was no money in my account. I ignored further emails from him and and reported it to the site. When I tried to email him saying that he should give me the money first, his email address wasn't valid anymore. He sent me an email in another address but I ignored it knowing that he was a fraud. This taught me to be more careful on the internet cause frauds are everywhere. I hope this story makes you realize that the world is full of scamming people.
6 tips to spot a fraud
- Offer sounds too good to be true (If he/she says you make $1000 if you give me/us $500)
- Multiple contact details (He/she sends you with different emails or text with different numbers)
- Fake ID (Does the name John Smith sound too simple??)
- Telling you what to do (He/she explains to you what to do eg. sign up to this site and win big)
- Agreeing to everything (Is he/she saying
yes to nearly everything?)
- Rushing (You send the money first then I send the remaning amount in 1hrs)
I also made my own acrostic poem using the word Fraud
Fake
Rushing
Alluring
Undercover
Determined
This has been fun being a reporter for a day and making a great story for all to read. Be careful out there it's a frauding world and don't click on anything you don't know. And remember to report to the site or police if you are or have been frauded.
