While the Internet offers us unrivalled access to information, today's digital age also makes it easier to engage in fraudulent activities. From fake posts on social networks to phishing for financial account passwords, crooks have found countless ways to steal money.
Scammers use every possible means to get in touch with their victims: telephone, post, e-mail or the Internet.
They gain your trust and, once they've lured you into their trap, they take your money and disappear. The scenarios they use to deceive you are constantly changing.
But you can protect yourself, your friends and your loved ones by familiarising yourself with the most common types of fraud.
