Arm Your Online Forms - Keep Out The Spammers

So many companies are getting harrassment these days for doing nothing more than - doing GOOD business. These long standing irritants come in the form of spammers.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF RSS
We are truly in a wonderful time where subscription content is giving information to the right people. On the flipside it is also keeping out undesireables from entering and confusing your work space. It is for this reason that SPAMMERS are looking for ways to further infiltrate your environment. This latest wave comes in the form of online bots.

What are bots?

Bots, are scripted robot code that digs deep into your blogs, web pages and online forms and looks for places to post its unwanted marketing messages. These are usually sent from off shore "marketing cowards" who are looking for anyone with a pulse to buy their goods and services.

There are good bots, ( like when Google sends them over to index your pages) and there are bad bots, ( equiped with code writing ability to spam) that dig into your online forms.

TAKE NOTE ECOMMERCE MERCHANTS
If you are selling anything online you will want to pay close attention. There is a danger here if you don't know what to look for.

REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE: Always use text authorization when you use online forms. This means a live human.... not a bot.... will have to physically type in a mixture of letters and numbers in order for your forms to get entered. Once its entered in you can access payment.

The Latest Scam
These rip off companies are prowling the web looking for weak merchant accounts where they can enter in spam information. The other thing is that they are looking for unsecure online forms that they can order something for a dollar.... Keep in mind that these orders that come in are from stolen credit cards. They are testing them out to see if they can use them.

The bank is going to come looking for you since it is your merchant account. They will want to collect $20 bucks off you each time someone pulls this stunt. So many sure that you get into the control panels of your account and lock everyone out. This is the surest way to lock out any undesireable scam artists out there.

So remember....

1. Use on online merchant account with text verification
2. Use text verification on your blogs
3. Report ALL illegal activity
