In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them — usually, to obtain property or services from him or her unjustly. I’ll talk about Internet fraud. Many legitimate companies sell their products or services through the Internet. Charities use Internet to ask for donations. Unfortunately individuals also understand that the Internet is a great way to reach people, use them and rob them.
There are some ways to avoid being robbed through the Internet. Firstly you must know who you are dealing with. If the seller or charity is unfamiliar, check with your state or local consumer protection agency if it’s legal. Get the physical address and phone number in case there is a problem later. Secondly – never believe promises of easy money. If someone claims that you can earn money with little or no work, get a loan or credit card even if you have bad credit, or make money on an investment with little or no risk, it’s probably a scam. What is more you must always guard you personal information. Don’t provide your credit card or bank account number unless you are actually paying for something.
To sum up, the Internet serves many useful services, but also it’s an excellent tool for fraudsters. That's why you should always think twice before you invest your money in any opportunity you learn about through the Internet.
There are many more ways to avoid fraud , but to my opinion these that I have mentioned are the most important.
