Two great tips on Internet Fraud

Internet Fraud has so many different shapes and forms. E-mails offering business proposals, fake services and products, winning notifications ("You won $1 million at the Euro Lottery" sounds familiar?), fabulous inheritances from people who died in plane crashes - all these are scams that, unfortunately, are still successful for crooks.

The most popular scam e-mails are referring to "bank updates". Did you ever receive an e-mail from somebody pretending is from your bank and asking for your details as part of an "updating process" they are doing? Gerry Yogi (right) shares a couple of tips on how to check if the e-mails you receive are to be trusted or not.

This is part of an educational series that Amos Studios created based on financial fraud. The other episodes show you how to prevent yourself from:

Home Improvement Fraud

Identity Theft

Telemarketing Scam

Power of Attorney Fraud.
