We all are familiar with online scammers who run away with your money. Have you ever been cheated by any online scammer? Online scammers are of many types. They may be online shops, job providers or even some romantic scams. I would like tell something about some romantic scams.

It is a funny thing to know about romantic scams over the internet. All romantic scams are girls. At the first time, you will get an email saying that she is interested in having a relationship with you. You will be wondering to see the interest she has on you. Suppose that a person do not know anything about online scammers. He will reply that he too is interested to talk with her. In the second mail, she will say a story about her! The theme of the story will be like this.

“I am living in a Refugee camp in Dakar Senegal due to a civilian war. My father was a rich person and he died in the war itself. I have $3.5 million in my bank and I have been looking for a foreign partner. I want to transfer this money to your bank account. You can take half of it. After I leave from this refugee camp, you can send some money to me for the traveling expenses. Rev.Father Emmanuel is my guardian right now and you can speak to him to know more about me. I will send you the bank details where I deposited money. I am attaching my picture and I would like to see yours also.”

This is just an example of that kind of mails. Then there will be a picture (claming that it is her), email id and telephone number (claiming that it is Rev.Father’s). Idiots will believe this story and they will go on with mailing. If mail to the Reverend, you will get an email saying that he is ready to transfer the money.  But he will ask for a postage fee! Here is the twist. To transfer millions of dollars to your account, you will have to pay the postage fee. So the reverend will give you the details to pay him. It will be his own address or bank details. Once you sent the postage fee, there will not be any emails or contacts from them! They wills simply run away with your money. Quite funny and idiots will lose a big amount. This is just an example of romance scams.

There are plenty of other online scammers. Don’t take risks to spend money for a person you are not familiar with. Are you wondering how they get your email id? There are a lot of public forums, social networking sites which allows you to post contact information. Fellow scammers will find these email ids and they will start their funny business! It is your duty not to make your contact email id visible to any public forums or social networking sites. Also don’t run in to cheats like this.

 
Day by day thousands of email addresses are being victims for hijacking and unauthorized accesses. The fellow hackers around the world are doing this just because they don’t have any other job! Either they will be doing this for a fun or it will be for making some money without any job! But sometimes these hacking will lead to serious problems like loss of large amount of money. So there is no doubt that everyone wants to keep their email address protected.

At this time, Gmail introduced 2 step verification securities for Google accounts. By this method, we can avoid 90 percent hackers. Or we can say that our account is totally protected. After reading this article, you will definitely try this security to your account. It not only protect your Gmail account but also all other Google accounts and products. Let me introduce a little about this 2 step verification introduced by Google.

When you activate this protection to your account, Google will send a code to your phone number. Then you will see a space on the site to enter the code. Enter the code correctly, move on and your account is now protected. If you are using Gmail from your own computer you can check the “remember me on this computer for 30 days”. Otherwise, don’t click this! Now whenever you try to access Gmail through any other computer you have to pass 2 steps to access your account. At first you have to enter your email and password. Then Google will send a code to your phone number. Enter the code on the website and you will get access to your account. Otherwise, you cannot access the account. This 2 step verification will be done whenever you try to access your account from another computer.

Now think that someone traces your Gmail password and tries to access it. He or she will not be able to access your account unless they enter the code that is sent to your phone number by Google instantly when they tried to sign in. Sounds great? Also when Google send a code when you are not using it, you can simply realize the joke that someone is playing on your account. But don’t worry; he will not access your account. Now your Gmail is protected. What about other Google accounts? You will have to generate a random password for other applications such as Google Talk and can be set easily when doing the 2 step verification. Also it will show some sites that used your Gmail account to sign you up. You can change these passwords also. Hope this security will help you to prevent your valuable account from the fellow
 hackers.

There are a lot of freelancing sites that allow clients to post projects and freelancers to bid on them. Here the client will choose only one freelancer who impressed him with a perfect bid. Are you interested to know how to bid perfectly on a project in order to impress the client? You have to consider a lot of things before bidding on a project. Here I would like to tell you some tips related to that. Read on to know more.

Bid with a reasonable price

Clients will choose only bidders with reasonable project price. Suppose that you are going to bid on an article writing project of 5 articles of 500 words. What will happen if you bid asking $50 for the project? The client will laugh at your bid! So we have to ask for a reasonable price to complete the project. If your bid price is $10 or $15 instead of $50, the client will be impressed with the price. Now you have learned to impress the client with the bid price. Now we can move to the next step.

Talk in a professional tone

It is the most important thing you have to pay attention to when you bid. Don’t write your message in a single sentence like “I am ready to start the work”. Talk in a professional tone and don’t be lazy to type a short introduction of yourself. It is better to post the introduction through a personal message board if available. But don’t use it to write a long essay there!

Also you should not have a pleading nature. We can see a lot of fellow bidders bidding like “Sir, please accept my bid, I will do it perfectly, please accept me”. The client will have a negative impression on these kind of bids bid. Speak well and take care of your language even spelling mistakes.

Feel pride to show previous works

You have to show your previous works to prove that you are the best! If you are a beginner who doesn’t have previous works to show, you can build a portfolio. Do some sample works and post it in your portfolio. Now you can proud fully present it before the client. Don’t include ‘not bad’ previous works you have done. Present only perfect works you have done before.

Prove that they will get benefit from you

 It is necessary to prove that you can complete the work with perfection. Half of this task will be covered when including the portfolio or previous works with your bid. Now to prove that you can complete the work, you have to say something about your plans. Simple projects may not need plans. Web designing, SEO and other serious projects will need plans. By describing about what you are going to do, the client will be able to realize that ‘it will work’ you are the perfect one for this project.

 Don’t add contact information

Some people bid with their contact information. Most freelancing sites will not allow you to include contact info with bid. But 30 percent of bidders add contact information somehow. I would say that it is not the right way to choose if you want to bid perfectly. If you are including your contact info, the client will not be impressed. Also most of the clients will not show the interest to share their contact info.

If you pay attention to these things when bidding, you will impress the client surely. What should you do if a client didn’t accept your bid even when your bid is perfect? Will you leave the task? Please don’t leave it for your sake! Remember that Rome was not built in a day. Try hard and you will win.
