Identity Theft, Auction Scams Top The
List Of Scams Again

Identity Theft, Auction Scams Top The
List Of Scams Again 02/01/2005 09:43 PM
It's unlikely to surprise many people but identity theft and aucti on scams where the seller never ships the item topped the list of scam complaints to the FTC. Of course, what the FTC doesn't break down is how many of the identity theft complaints happened online vs. those caused by a lost wallet or checkbook. Just last week, a study suggested that online identity theft really isn't a very big problem. Also, as the original article notes, it's tough to tell whether the quantity of scams increased, or just that consumers are more aware of them and know to report them. Update: Meanwhile, over in the UK, it looks like d ifferent kinds of scams are popular, with typical confidence scams leading the way.

Internet Savvy Folks Fall For Phisher

Internet Savvy Folks Fall For Phisher
Scams 11/05/2003 06:04 PM
It's almost impossible these days not to see a story or two a day about the latest "phisher" scam, where a con artist sends an email looking as though it's from a trusted company such as eBay or a well known bank, and asking people to fill out a form that includes basically every little bit of information anyone would need to know to access all of their bank accounts and credit cards. You might be wondering who falls for this sort of thing, and the answer is that an awful lot of people do - and many claim to be internet savvy professionals. In many cases, they get the email and they fill out the form in a rush, and then realize it as soon as they hit the submit button. Scammers claim (and you have to take any such claims with a grain of salt) that such phisher emails yield about a 10% hit rate - which is pretty damn high. The folks who were conned often couldn't even remember filling out the form. Some, who track their finances online caught fraudulent transactions quickly, but had no idea how the info got out. Next thing someone needs to do is try to tie up a 419 Nigerian scam with a phisher scam and create ultimate email scam.
