Top 2 Web Scams This Year
1. Phishing
Fraud - This is where scammers use deceptive messages with links that point to
fake websites. They use email, mobile SMS, private messages in popular social
networks and instant messages in widely used chat applications to send out
phishing messages to their target victims.
Phishing fraud is designed
to trick users into unknowingly giving away their personal details, account
credentials and private information to the scammers who operate these scams.
The fake websites linked by phishing messages are exact clones of the online
banking portals, Webmail platforms, shopping networks and other websites of
their intended victims, as shown by the latest Big Scammers cyber fraud
complaints this month.
2. Online
Dating Fraud - This is an extortion scheme that's carried out in the most
popular dating sites and apps today. Unsuspecting users, who are mostly
middle-aged married men and women in the USA and other developed
English-speaking countries, are deceived into engaging in intimate
conversations with the fraudsters who operate the Web dating scam.
Recordings of voice chats
and screenshots of chat logs are taken by these scammers during their
conversations with the target victim. After some time, the fraudster then
threatens to directly send the recordings and screenshots to the user's spouse,
children, employer, friends and colleagues. That's unless the user complies
with the demands of the fraudster. However, some victims claim in their Big
Scammers cyber fraud complaints that most fraudsters don’t keep their end of
the bargain even after they already sent money.
