The term "Internet fraud" refers generally to any type of fraud scheme that
uses one or more components of the Internet - such as chat rooms, e-mail,
message boards, or Web sites - to present fraudulent solicitations to
prospective victims, to conduct fraudulent transactions, or to transmit the
proceeds of fraud to financial institutions or to other connected with the
scheme. If you use the Internet with any frequency, you'll soon see that
people and things online tend to move, as the saying goes, on "Internet time."
For most people, that phrase simply means that things seem to happen more
quickly on the Internet -- business decisions, information-searching, personal
interactions, to name a few - and to happen before, during, or after ordinary
"bricks-and-mortar" business hours. Unfortunately, people who engage in fraud
often operate in "Internet time" as well. They seek to take advantage of the
Internet's unique capabilities -- for example, by sending e-mail messages wor
ldwide
in seconds, or posting Web site information that is readily accessible from
anywhere in the world - to carry out various types of fraudulent schemes more
quickly than was possible with many fraud schemes in the past.
