Fraud is a form of exploitation that takes advantage of system vulnerabilities. This includes phishing attempts, stolen credit cards, copied bank account numbers, and check-washing.

There are several ways a person can fall victim to being scammed. Being aware of scammer techniques and tools heightens awareness and helps prevent all types of fraud and scams.<\/p>\n
