The term "Internet fraud" generally refers to any type of fraud scheme that uses one or more online services to present fraudulent solicitations to prospective victims, to conduct fraudulent transactions, or to transmit the proceeds of fraud to financial institutions or to others connected with the scheme. Internet fraud can take place on computer programs such as chat rooms, e-mail, message boards, or Web sites. Purchase scamsDirect solicitationsThe most straightforward type of purchase scam is a buyer in another country approaching many merchants through spamming them and directly asking them if they can ship to them using credit cards to pay. An example of such email is as follows: From: XXXXXX XXXXXX [XXXXXXX@hotmail.com] Sent: Saturday, October 1, 2005 11:35 AM Subject: International order enquiry Goodday Sales, This is XXXXXX XXXXXXX and I will like to place an order for some products in your store, But before I proceed with listing my requirements, I will like to know if you accept credit card and can ship internationally to Lagos, Nigeria. Could you get back to me with your website so as to forward you the list of my requirements as soon as possible. Regards, XXXXXX XXXXXX, XXXXXXXX Inc. 9999 XXXXX street, Mushin, Lagos 23401, Nigeria Telephone: 234-1-99999999, Fax: 234-1-9999999, Email: XXXXXXXXX@hotmail.com Most likely, a few weeks or months after the merchant ships and charges the Nigerian credit card, he/she will be hit with a chargeback from the credit card processor and lose all the money.

They could take out endless amounts of my money and leave me with bills surely... Asked by sparda3000 - Thu Apr 19 09:27:42 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Unfortunately, this is one of the downsides of instant access to our money electronically 24/7. Typically your bank would work with you, if fraud is proven. But that would also mean possibly them freezing your account, and eventually closing your account after they drop the charges off your account. I alwsay advise people to use a "prepaid" rechargeable credit card for online purchase, and also for use in restaurants. You should only use your debit card for transactions at an ATM, to limit your fraud exposure. Good luck.
