Internet Fraud By Jessica Habermehl &Ally Erwine Period 9

Explanation The World Wide Web offers a place for people to buy, sell, read, watch, or listen. It is hard for people to distinguish between reliable sources and criminals when you are hiding behind a screen. Scams from phone are now showing up online, just by different people.

Explanation New cyber scams are developing in s or ads. You can protect yourself by recognizing the danger signs of fraud. It is important to report any fraud to law enforcement agencies to shut down the company.

Current Scam Have you received an from the FBI? It is probably fake! The s appear legitimate, using real FBI employee names. They ask for personal information and details. The FBI has a website for people to check website accuracy for scams now.

Current Scam

Tips to Avoid Fraud Know who you are dealing with. If you don’t know the seller, don’t buy the product. Check the Better Business Bureau for information. Check feedback forums for people’s personal experience with a seller. Be sure to write the address and phone number for any future problems. Read how the complaints are handled. Look to see if the company participates in meeting a costumer’s standards.

Tips to Avoid Fraud Be aware that no complaints is no guarantee. Some companies leave so quick, there isn't time for unhappy costumers to complain. Look Around. Compare services and prices from several companies. A cheap price could mean a fraud, or the seller could just use it to get your attention. Understand the offer and resist pressure. A legitimate seller will not rush you into paying or making a choice. If they demand you act immediately, it is probably a scam.

Relevant Statistics (2007) Fake Check Scam (consumer paid with phony check for items sold, and wired money back) Lotteries/Lottery Clubs (requests payment to claim lottery winnings or to help you win) Prizes and Sweepstakes (requests payment to claim prizes that never materialize) Phishing ( s pretend to be a well-known source to confirm person information) $3, $ $1, $220.47

If it is a credit card, report to the company. Contact bank to end payments. Report to police with all evidence and information.

Should I retain evidence related to my complaint? Yes, evidence may include, but is not limited to, the following: Canceled checks, Certified or other mail receipts, Chat room or newsgroup text, Credit card receipts, Money order receipts
