In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them. The term "Internet fraud" refers generally to any type of fraud scheme that uses one or more components of the Internet, such as chat rooms, e-mails, web sites and so on. Internet fraud occurs in many different forms. Credit card frauds, fraud related to online investment, internet auction fraud are just a few of the most common types of fraud. So how we can protect from internet fraud? I have found some good suggestions:
1. When banking online, check the address of any pages that ask for personal account information;
2.Don't give out your credit card numbers online unless the site is a secure and reputable;
3.Be cautious when responding to special investment offers;
4.Don't believe the promise of large sums of money for you or you cooperation.
