Internet fraud is not only on the rise, but it is accelerating. The
variety of scams continues to develop in complexity and effectiveness,
leaving the casual user ever more vulnerable to personal loss, while law
enforcement appears to be mostly unprepared to handle the sudden and
massive burden of new, difficult to investigate crimes. The best defense
against crime, however, has remained unchanged since the dawn of
civil ization personal responsibility and preparation. Below are the top
three scams, but there are far more than these.
Lottery Winnings:
Emails claiming that the recipient has won
money generate enough excitement to cloud a person's judgment. They
may ask for cash to cover the taxes before the money can be released, the
taxes are the winner's responsibility to pay after the money is received,
and are only paid to the winner's government. They may also request
bank account numbers for a wire transfer.
Undelivered Auctio
n Goods : Beware of extended slipping delays
when purchasing anything online. A purchaser is protected from fraud for
a short time usually only two to four weeks. If a seller succeeds in
delaying past this time, then the buyer has no recourse if the item is neve r
sent.
Phishing:
Phishing is an attempt to obtain information and money
by masquerading as an authentic entity. For example, an email that looks
like it came from PayPal.com says that your account has been accessed
by an unknown party. It asks you to follo w the link to log in and identify
any account activity that you did not authorize. When the link is clicked,
the following page looks like PayPal’s website, but it is, in fact, a fake,
and any information, such as user name and password, are simply saved
t o be used later by thieves in an attempt to defraud. A different and
common spin on the phishing scam states that it is from a foreign
government (usually Nigeria) regarding one of the following:
disbursement of finances to the benefactor of a will, accusa
