Scams
Internet auction scams account for 75% of all complaints registered with
the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center and have constantly been on
the rise. With internet auctions gaining tremendous popularity since its
first appearance in 1995, it was only a matter of time before people got
tricked. Scammers have been cashing in on the fact that most people don't
understand exactly how these auctions work, and most importantly, how
to take part without being taken for a ride.
How it works:
You find an amazing deal online and rush to auction for it.
After sending the money, you receive an awful piece, or worse, absolutely
nothing at all!
