To start with, computer frauds cover a variety of activities that is harmful to people’s computers. The frauds could take form in number of ways, including program fraud, hacking, e-mail hoaxes and etc. Any person can easily become a victim of computer frauds.
As far as I found the major types of internet fraud are: auction and retail schemes online; Business Opportunity/"Work-at-Home" Schemes Online; Identity Theft and Fraud; Investment Schemes Online; Credit-Card Schemes and so on. The Justice Department are beginning to bring criminal prosecutions against individuals and groups engaging in various types of Internet fraud. However firstly we personaly have to learn how to protect from the computer frauds. In one site I found the general advices how to avoid damage of the internet fraud:
-Don't Judge by Initial Appearances
-Be Careful About Giving Out Valuable Personal Data Online
-Be Especially Careful About Online Communications With Someone Who Conceals His True Identity
-Watch Out for "Advance-Fee" Demands
All in all nobody is protected from the internet frauds but every time we switch on the computer we must think about the points what rather not to do being in the wide internet space.
