What is an Internet scam?

There are several types of Internet scams including what are known as email scams and phishing scams. Both are typically disguised as correspondence from valid financial or eCommerce providers. Email scams typically use fear tactics to entice victims into visiting a fraudulent website.

Webopedia defines phishing as, "The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft."

A scam website is a website or webpage that is designed to look like a legitimate business website, like a bank or online auction company, or online payment service that exist to steal personal login, password and account information.

US bank phishing has become a popular scheme, where you may receive emails from any number of US banks. These emails are scams, or fakes, so do not reply or click on the links in the email! Legitimate banks will not request your personal information via email or online.

In addition to the banking community, various ecommerce sites such as PayPal or eBay are frequent targets for online identity theft crimes. If you receive emails from any vendor requesting information such as account numbers, passwords, mailing addresses or other personal data, beware. Contact the vendor directly because online vendors will not ask you to provide that type of data via email.

One way to prevent identity theft via scams is to install and use a premiere Internet security tool such as CyberDefenderFREE and you will be automatically protected against these and other phishing scams and fake sites. Try it for free today!
