Is internet risky? Have you ever been duped? I am sure you know somebody who has been duped. Internet is risky, only if you are careless. Use your brain before investing anywhere.
The basic principle is that you cannot become rich overnight. Internet has made the communication easier. Now companies can directly communicate with thousands of potential investors just with a click of a mouse. This is where the scams-ters come into play. They will contact you over email or will post lucrative offers in several bulletin boards. It becomes really difficult to distinguish between a real offer and a fake one. Often you will get newsletters from several companies asking you to invest. Before clicking on any of their links, make sure that the email has been generated from an authentic emailaddress of the company. Even in bulletin boards, there are plenty of fake users who claim to have profited from certain company. So be careful that you do not fall in any trap. Often these scamsters target investors by sending junk mails. You should never respond to such mails. Clicking on any suspicious link
can make you vulnerable to more threats.
Managing online issues and protection yourself from scams is not really a big deal. You just have to keep your eyes open.
