Abstract
Internet fraud takes a number of forms with the responsible
individuals changing tactics rapidly to avoid
detection. The perpetrators rely on telemarketing,
emails, as well as presenting themselves personally to
unsuspecting people. The evolution of internet marketing
as well as ecommerce and the ease of connectivity
create increasing opportunities for fraudsters while at
the same time placing more unsuspecting internet users
at risk of falling prey to these schemes. There exists a
thriving economy online with large sums of money
changing hands online. It is therefore important for any
internet user to easily identify when they are exposed to
internet fraud schemes and as such avoid being a victim.
