Online Fraud

 

Online fraud is a developing issue that has an impact on both people and businesses. The opportunity for fraudsters to take advantage of unwary victims has increased with the rise in the usage of the internet for personal and financial activities.

Phishing is one of the most prevalent types of internet fraud. In order to deceive the receiver into giving personal information, such passwords or credit card details, a fraudster would send an email or message that looks to be from a trustworthy source, like a bank or an online merchant.

Identity theft is a different kind of internet fraud. This happens when a fraudster opens accounts or makes purchases using another person's identity, address, or Social Security number.
