Simple tips to prevent
fraud on the Internet
BY CARMEN GONZALEZ
CALOWELl
SpedaJ to The Miami Herald
O ctober is National
Crime Prevention
month, and this
week I want to share with
you infonnation being
provided by our Miami FBI
office. This is a real eye-
opener, and we thank the
FBI for keeping us in~
formed and giving uS the
ability to help stop fraud in
its tracks.
In 2010, Floridians flIed
almost 20,000 complaints
and suffered $37 million in
losses through fraudulent
activities on the Internet.
For "the past eight years, the
FBI has designated October
as National Cyber Security
Awareness Month to high-
light the importance of
protecting our cyber net-
works. The FBI leads the
national effort to investi-
gate Internet cri.mjnal ac~
tivity, called cyber crime,
including cyber-terrorism,
computer intrusion, online
sexual exploitation and
major cyber frauds. This
column focuses on cyber
frauds.
Internet criminals seek
to defraud victims through
a variety of schemes. The
more commonly used
methods include auction
fraud, credit card fraud,
identity theft, phishing
attacks and holiday/charity
scams. Here are a couple of
examples of these scams:
-In auction fraud, In-
ternet criminals post classi-
fied ads and auction an-
nouncements for products
they do not have and rip off
buyers by
creative use
of stolen
credit cards.
Fraudsters
receive a
victim's
order;
charge the
victim's
credit card
for the amount of the order,
then use a separate, stolen
credit card for the actual
purchase. They pocket the
purchase price obtained
from the victim's credit
card and have the mer·
chant ship the item directly
to the victim. Consequent-
ly, an item purchased from
an online auction, but re-
ceived directly from the
merchant, is a strong in-
dication of fraud. Victims
not only lose the money
paid to the fraudster, but
may be liable for receiving
stolen goods.
• In phishlng schemes, a
fraudster poses as a bank
or other legitimate entity
and uses emails and scam
websites to obtain a vic-
tim's personal information,
such as bank account num~
bers and Social Security
account information. In
this scam, fraudsters direct
victims to follow a link or
call a number to update an
account or correct an a1~
leged problem. The link
directs the victim to a
fraudulent website that
appears legitimate. Instead,
the site allows the fraudster
to steal the victim's person-
al information. Bottom line,
only go to the official web--
site to check accounts and
be leery of emails claiming
there is a problem with
your fmancial accounts.
There are several web-
sites that provide informa-
tion about the myriad In-
ternet scams in use today.
The website www.looks
toogoodtobetrue.com was
launched in October 2005
by the FBI, U.S. Postal
Service and several com-
mercial partners to educate
and help protect consum-
ers against Internet crimes.
Additionally, the Internet
Crimes Complaint Center
website, www.ic3.gov. is the
best location to make a
complaint about Internet
fraud. If you think you are a
victim of an Internet crime,
go to the IC3 website to
register your complaint.
By taking the time to
educate yourself about
Internet scams and taking
prudent precautions, you
can benefit from the In-
ternet without becoming a
victim. Supervisory Special
Agent Raymond T. Goer-
gen leads the Computer
Intrusion Squad in the
FBI's Miami field office.
