Scott writes “These days, computer users are online not only for longer periods of time and more frequently, but they are also conducting more important transactions via e-mail and the Internet. Activities like banking online, trading stock, purchasing products and services, and managing personal accounts through Web sites are becoming more common. While the Internet makes conducting such activities more convenient, it has also opened up a new form of fraud that scammers are taking advantage of in increasing numbers. As a result, online fraud is becoming a growing problem – not only for consumers but for enterprises as well.”
