3. FIND OUT IF YOU’RE DEALING WITH A HUMAN — OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM
Never transfer money via online services to people you don’t know but you have only just met online. Never send any personal details such as copies of your passport and ID to people you don’t know.
If you must send such info online, ask the recipient to take a photo holding up a piece of paper with your name (hand) written on it in order to avoid fake photos and prove that you are actually dealing with a human and not a computer program.
You can ask to get in touch via Skype and have a face-to-face video call, as scammers usually refuse to connect in this manner. Transfer money only after you have made confirmations via other physically-traceable channels, and there are no suspicions.
