Trademarks and Domains (mainly from Asia)
Any email discussing domain names and intellectual trade marks, not originating from a lawyer in your own country should be ignored as spam.
Bank Refunds - aka Nigerian Bank Scam
Never refund an "overpayment" from an international inwards transfer. You need to wait upto 30 days for these types of payments to clear from untrusted 3rd parties. If you do refund any money, and discover you have been defrauded, make sure you contact your bank asap.
Reciprical Link Request
Do not accept reciprical link requests from anyone except businesses you know and trust. Approaches from strangers and international organisations should be treated as spam.
Fees for website directories claiming huge hits
If you have not heard of the business directory before, and you do not use it yourself, then don't pay for it. Yellow Pages, Finda, Megamart, Bigcity, HamiltonInfo, Google, MSN, Yahoo and NZS.com are the only you might consider paying for. Do not trust their claims of outlandish stat histories. Check your own stats within our CMS for their incoming links, if no links, you know they are lying.
