Internet Fraud is a very serious societal issue, which is becoming more
and more common. Internet fraud isn?t only just gaining some ones and using
their numbers to buy things online. Fraud now goes as far as trying to
duplicate a bank or credit unions setup for e-mails and try to get you to
input your user name and/or passwords for what they call verification
purposes. These e-mails can actually be traced back to the source or near the
source by checking whois databases to find out where in the world the messages
came from or from what network or ISP the message came from. There are
different whois databases for different parts of the world but it is possible
to track these down and most will let you know that is came from outside the
database you?re searching in and may let you know which one you need to go to,
to find out what part of the world it did come from and will usually direct
you to that whois database. Although this type of fraud is very com
mon and
relatively easy to give in to if not worried about Internet fraud, it is very
easy to defend against also, people just need to be warned and educated about
this deceptive type of fraud.
