The most common online frauds and cyber scams

Online fraud and cyber scams are currently on the rise, which has meant a great many people falling victim to these offences. Some of the most common frauds are:

Shopping online

You probably shop online regularly and without any trouble. It can be risky, however, if you do not take the necessary precautions. The most common frauds are the sale of fake or non-existent goods, phishing or impersonation, and the theft of personal information.

Job offers

Looking for work online is more and more common, but it can also be a trap for the unwary. Fake job offers are one of the most common frauds online. Criminals usually ask victims to pay a fee or provide personal information before giving them the job.

Holiday lets

Holidays are a time for enjoyment and relaxation, but they can also be a target for online fraudsters. The most common fraud in this sector is the offer of fake or non-existent accommodation. Fraudsters usually ask for a deposit or full payment before the victim can see the property.

Dating services

Dating apps and websites are a great way to meet new people, but they can also be a trap set by fraudsters. The most common fraud is creating fake profiles to deceive victims and ask them for money.

Sextortion

Sextortion is a kind of online sexual blackmail in which fraudsters threaten to share intimate photos or videos unless they are paid a sum of money.

Donations to charities

Fraudsters can also pass themselves off as legitimate charities in order to obtain donations. That is why you should always check that an organisation is genuine before making a donation online.

Prescription medicines

Online fraudsters can also offer counterfeit or poor-quality medicines at prices below those of legitimate pharmacies.

The steps for reporting online fraud

Being the victim of online fraud can be an unpleasant and stressful experience, but there are steps that can be taken to report the offence and look for a legal remedy.

Cancelling cards

If you have been the victim of online fraud in which your credit or debit cards have been used, it is important to cancel them immediately. Get in touch with your bank to tell them about the fraud and cancel the cards affected.

A complaint to the courts

If the fraud has led to significant financial loss, it is important to file a complaint with the courts. A lawyer specialising in online fraud can advise you and help you file the complaint properly, including gathering evidence and identifying those responsible.

Contacting your bank

Then get in touch with your bank to tell them about the fraud and ask them to investigate the fraudulent transactions. Your bank can also give you information about the further steps you should take to protect your account and your money.

Programs or websites

If the scam was carried out through a website or a program, it is important to gather any relevant information that could help the investigation, including screenshots, emails and any other relevant documents. Those records can help identify the website or program behind the scam.

Messages or contact with the fraudster

Any communication you have had with the fraudster can also be valuable evidence. Keep every text message, email, chat conversation and any other record of contact with the fraudster.

Account activity

It is important to gather all the records of your bank account and your credit and debit cards, including statements, transactions and any other relevant record.
