Important Info & Tips on Cybercrime across the World by Robert Swetz VB



Important Info & Tips on Cybercrime across the World by Robert Swetz VB
 
 
CYBERCRIME
 
What is it? Cybercrime refers to crime conducted online. It includes tax and welfare fraud, credit card fraud, and the non-delivery of purchases. It also includes scams, such as fraudulent investments and online auctions.
 
How does it effect people? Cybercrime costs the victims-and society as a whole-billions of dollars. Consider an example: Sandra received a email that she assumed was from her bank asking her to update her online banking details. Minutes after sending her personal particulars, she was alarmed to see that $4,000 dollars had been transferred from her account into a foreign bank. Sandra quickly discovered that she had been scammed.
 
What can you do?
 
 
 
BE WARY: Do not be fooled by professional looking websites, and keep in mind that legitimate financial institutes will not ask you to email highly confidential information. Before buying or investing online, ascertain the company's reputation. "Anyone inexperienced puts faith in every word, but the shrewd one considers their steps." And be cautious dealing with companies located in foreign lands. If problems arise, it can be harder to resolve them.
 
ANALYZE A COMPANY AND ITS POLICIES: Ask yourself ... What is the company's physical address? Is the phone number correct? Will my purchase involves hidden costs? When will my order be delivered? Can it be returned or refunded?
 
BE SUSPICIOUS IF A OFFER LOOKS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE: The greedy and those who want something for nothing are prime targets for online thieves. The bait may include big money for minimal work, a loan or credit card even though you may have poor credit rating, or large returns on "low-risk" investments. "Take your time in evaluating the legitimacy of any investment offer," says the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). "The higher the promised returned, the higher the risk,. Don't let a promoter pressure you into committing to an investment before you are certain it's legitimate."
