When it comes to highly used websites such as Craigslist and Ebay, there are many con artists out there that people should be cautions of. Especially if you are looking for reliable BMW Parts or a steady job, avoiding spammers can save you lots of time and effort. Nowadays, there are more spammers than you would believe. From work at home scams to NEED TO HIRE IMMEDIATELY ads, spam is unfortunately infiltrating our system. So how do you spot the spammers right away and avoid wasting time looking at false ads and filling out pages of useless job opportunity sites? Refer to these tips. 1. On Craigslist and other sites, if you see gmail, yahoo, and hotmail email users, beware. These are more often than not spammers. Especially look for first and last names in email addresses such as Sandy_Samson@gmail.com or James_Jackson@yahoo.com. These are spammers who give your personal information to spamming emailers. 2. If you are on a job website and they want you to go to a website to fill out an application, it is usually a waste of time. Try to skip these and look for ads with company profiles and trustworthy contact information. 3. Look at the Beware sections and be sure to pay no attention to ads that are flagged, usually this means spam. Do not even click on these and waste your time. 4. Consider the title of the ads and watch out for those ads that appear every single day without doubt. In most cases, these are websites trying to get your information to spam your inbox hardcore. 5. On sites like Ebay be sure that your seller or buyer has a good reputation. Do your research and try to buy from and sell to those who have done it multiple times before with a high rating. You definitely want to avoid getting robbed blind. 6. Be weary of very short ads with no company names and the lack of contact information. So there you go, if you are looking to buy auto parts or you are simply trying to find a job, be careful of spammers. To do this look out for ads with alarming titles, contact names that seem too generic (especially look for alliteration). And beware of un-trusty ads, sellers, buyers, and websites that are just looking to get your contact information and waste your time and money.About the Author:
