How to Avoid Internet Scams in the Workplace
Purpose

2. Definition
Online fraud refers to deceitful schemes that are done using the internet. Online fraud may
come in the form of financial theft, identity theft or a combination of both.
History of Online Fraud
An influx of online fraud began to be experienced in the 1990s with the increased technology use
and e-commerce. In the beginning, online fraud was done by using the names of famous celebrities
of the time to commit internet crimes. Over time, more technical and sophisticated plans were
developed such as creating card-generator applications with real credit card numbers, setting up
dummy merchant websites and mass identity theft. Today, despite attempts by various
governments to regulate and mitigate online fraud, more sophisticated online fraud schemes have
been established ranging from credit card fraud to phishing, hacking, and identity theft (Saeger &
Probert, 2015).
