Today there are quite a lot of cases of being cheated via the net. This morning a friend contacted me online and said he forgot to bring money outside. He asked me to lend him about $100. Although the money is not that much, but I still kept alert and I didn't want to being cheated. So I especially asked him several personal questions to make sure that he was my friend rather than a cheater
After I confirmed his identification, I just transferred money to his account by my cellphone. It was easy and quick.
Some people just forget the identification step and finally they are cheated. We have to be very careful to deal with this case when it happens online.

I think $100 bucks is a substantial bit of money to loan someone. What a lame excuse that he come out without any money. I would probably wonder if it was who he said he was too. We do have to be so careful now days.

People don't realize that their friends social accounts are stolen. There is a funny real case happened to my colleague's friend. She was a boss. One day her QQ account was stolen and the cheater sent a link to each one from QQ list and asked them to pay for it. Since she was a boss, so some of her employees were cheated. Who dared to say no in front of her boss? It is must more dangerous for a boss's account is stolen.
