Internet Scams

Internet scams are deceptive online schemes designed to trick individuals into giving away personal information, money, or access to their accounts. Scammers often pose as legitimate entities through fake websites, emails, or social media to gain trust. Common scams include phishing emails, fake tech support, online shopping frauds, and investment schemes. They exploit human emotions like fear, greed, or urgency to prompt quick, unthoughtful actions. Staying cautious, verifying sources, and avoiding sharing sensitive information can help protect against these cyber threats. Awareness and skepticism are key to avoiding internet scams.
